Play Your Heart Out (Sinful Serenade #4)

Review: Play Your Heart Out - Book #4 Sinful Serenade Series - Crystal Kaswell - May 2016

As readers know , the other stories I like are the "fake romances" that eventually have a HEA - yes, I am a true sucker for the Happily Ever Afters , I think it's the romantic at heart part of me.  In Play Your Heart Out we meet Jess James who is working as a waitress to help pay her tuition for Law School . She has been burned before and is just trying to find a way to move on with her life , as she is estranged from her family. Her dad is an alcoholic and the one person she thought she could rely on and would always have her back ended up sleeping with her boyfriend behind her back and they are now together.  One night , Jess meets rock star Pete Steele - the bass guitarist of Sinful Serenade. He has a background and history of being a "real" rockstar with lots of girls, drinking and a bad reputation to boot. The thing is he needs someone who can keep his reputation clean and act as a front as a good girlfriend and he knows just the person for the job - Jess James.  In return for acting like his girlfriend, he will pay Jess's tuition to Law School - that's all she asks for as her loans and other hopeful sources of income have been declined and if she wants to go to law school then Pete is her only hope. As the book goes on, we read as Jess is actually really good for Pete and his whole attitude starts to change and we catch glimpses of a Pete that actually could sustain a proper relationship - then of course as it's only glimpses he pushes and pulls Jess back and forward. Soon she realises that she is actually falling for him and that if she doesn't get out now then he will break her even more than she was prior as this time she won't be able to stop falling under.  Can Pete realise in time what he is about to give up and that he is actually capable of love and the feelings and emotions that come with it ?
Find out in Book #4 Play Your Heart Out. Though this is part of a series , each book can be read as a stand-alone story and each features a different band member.

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...
