Crushed 

Review: Crushed - Layne Gray -  October 2015

Grace feels that her marriage has been lacking substance for a while now , so on a whim and her friends advice - she decides to spice things up by suprising her husband at the airport wearing nothing but a fur coat and some sexy lingerie underneath. Waiting patiently, she spots her husband but just as she takes a step forward - Grace witnesses another woman - a younger woman jumping into her husband's arms. Stunned Grace heads straight to her friend's house - her best friend tells her about a spa called Finedale that helps women in certain situations as it helped her after her divorce. Grace heads away to the spa and finds herself in a whole different world , the spa turns out to be a girl's guide to getting back on the horse - so to say and a time to finding yourself after an affair.  Then later on the book gets a little darker and we find ourselves in the middle of a romantic suspense uncovering secrets and lies from the past and present.  I quite liked reading Crushed as it showed readers that even after her divorce and the rocky beginning that Grace could succeed and stand on her two feet - I enjoyed the fact that near the end she became a strong female character. The other thing I loved was how Crushed caters to everybody's reading needs from those who love reading Women's Fiction to Chick Lit and then in the second half those who love reading Romantic Suspense and Justice stories as law enforcements and undercover characters pop up. The other thing I loved about this book was the fact that it had me remembering about my trip in 2013 to San Francisco and seeing the sights.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
