The Summer Before Forever (Before Forever, #1)

Review : The Summer Before Forever - Book #1 Before Forever Series - Melissa Chambers - August 2016

First off , I have to admit that I didn't know this was going to be an "I'm in love with my Stepbrother type book " . However , as I got reading it I have to say that this was one of the better stepbrother-love type books as it was written with the late YA/ early NA's in mind as it wasn't over the top sexual like alot of the stepbrother books around . In The Summer Before Forever, we meet Chloe who is headed to her Dad's alongside best friend Jenna to meet his new wife-to-be and brother Landon. Chloe just thinks she will have the experience of a brother but she never expected to fall in love especially since her track record is non-existent and the one time she hooks up with a guy she is almost raped. Reeling from the incident Chloe is cautious and shy but being around her best friend Jenna who is the complete opposite - they form a "Get Chloe out of her Shell" bucket list as we read through the book and live the moments that Jenna and Chloe tick off from singing Karaoke to more heartfelt moments like finally talking to her Dad after their almost non-existent relationship. Will this Summer be the end of the Landon and Chloe fling ? Is it something that needs to be gotten out of the way before their parents are married or will their love for each other run deeper than either one will realise ? The Summer Before Forever is one of those Romance Meets Stepbrother Meets New Family meets Finding Yourself and Discovering who you really are before college begins type of reads.

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...
