Finding London

Review: Finding London - Book #1 Flawed Hearts - Ellie Wade - April 2016

You know how some books captivate you and make you want to read them, due to the cover - that to me was Finding London as I adored the abstract feel of the book cover with the different colours. I also have a thing for London like the main character and have wanted to visit there - it is on my bucket list of things to do. The main character Loic Berkely has lived a rough life as we read about how much his parents loved him and then this was cut short when they were killed. From there Loic was bounced between foster homes and different families , each one was a mission to survive in itself which obviously reasonated in his career choice of becoming a soldier in the military. The one word that has always kept him hope inside was "London" as his parents use to talk about it all the time. What Loic is about to discover though is that his London isn't the city but a girl who is the opposite of what he normally goes for , in fact Loic doesn't do relationships or romance at all as everything he becomes close to dies or leaves. Part of me liked this story as I loved the character of Loic and I wanted to be there for him through the pain and care for him , but the other part of me actually found reading Finding London - a difficult read as I tend to go for more fast-paced stories and I felt that this was too slow for me in parts and also I hate game-playing, it's ok for a little bit but I found this book quite full on as they would play mind games with one another which I didn't like as I feel there is no need for them. The other thing that got to me was London and her money, I know she was all for - I'm not one to just use my money and I want to get a job, but I felt that her character was trying to be two different people and the non-spoilt character wasn't really her.  However, if you are in the mood for brokenness , new adult , college fiction, summer love and a whole lot of Edginess and Angst then Ellie Wade's new book in her series Flawed Hearts "Finding London" is the read for you.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
