Fighter Girl


Review : Fighter Girl - Kathryn James - May 2016

In Fighter Girl which if you are in the UK is also published under Gypsy Girl, we meet Sammy-Jo Smith who is the youngest of seven daughters and out of the daughters seems to take more after her father Samson Smith who is a champion boxer and owns his own boxing gym. All her life, Sammy-Jo has preferred to fight than go shopping and would rather be the sort of girl to tumble and fall rather than prance around. Fighter Girl introduces us to Sammy's family who are also descendants of gypsies and live the gypsy life. Currently they are parked up in Gypsy Acre preparing for Sammy's sister Sabrina's wedding and she is a Bridezilla at most . Her personality came off to me like someone from Jersey - think Stephanie Plum Trenton's. During her time here, we discover that Sammy has been entering into illegal fights and of course winning big - the prize money going towards her sister's wedding. When a couple of the local guys try to get a jump on Sammy - she ends up kicking their butts. However, things won't just go away as they end up coming back and in a bigger group and soon Sammy and her secret boyfriend Greg Langston - his family own the property next to Gypsy Acres are kidnapped and hurt. Can Sammy-Jo save the day and get them both out alive in time for her sister's wedding or will she discover that she was in fact a pawn in a bigger game and that once a Gypsy always a Gyspy and that no matter how hard you try, you can never escape your family or it's past/history .

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
