The Player and the Pixie (Rugby, #2)

Review: The Player and The Pixie - Book #2 Rugby Series - L.H Cosway and Penny Reid - April 2016

For those readers of my blog you will know that I am a huge Penny Reid fan and when I saw that she had another one out in the Rugby series, I knew I had to read it. The other thing though that my readers will know is sometimes I can take forever to read a book that I mean to read as soon as it's released - the problem with having so many choices of what to read and all those new releases every single day. Anyway, I was sitting at work on my lunch break trying to decide what to read and I was talking to another staff member about Penny Reid and L.H Cosway and it inspired me to read The Player and the Pixie. Now I really enjoyed The Hooker and the Hermit, so was looking forward to this book. First off, I absolutely loved the character of Lucy Fitzpatrick - she is Ronan's younger sister , she was fun, quick witted and I loved the idea of her rainbow hair since I have been quite a few colours myself. You know readers , how I am a sucker for the misunderstood male characters - well, my heart yearned for Sean Cassidy and I may have loved Ronan in the first book, but the way he treated Sean - argh- I really hated Ronan by the end of this book as he came across every page as a self-righteous prick. It's like really, get over yourself Ronan - you have Annie , who cares about what happened in the past. Part of me too wishes that Lucy could grow some guts and stand up to her brother and mother and be like - I am going to be with Sean as he makes me happy and not be all secretive with him. Ok, Rant over now . In The Player and the Pixie we meet Lucy Fitzpatrick and Sean Cassidy, these two have this love/hate attraction going on and they eventually hook-up and sleep together. Now Sean has been with so many women, you expect him to be great in bed. Reality though he is beyond bad and now Lucy has taken on the role of teaching him how to woo women in bed. Like most of Penny's books, this book had me laughing in spots and making me awh in others. If you are looking for a fun romantic sports comedy , then look no further with Book #2 The Player and the Pixie and then once you have finished you can look forward to the coming release of Book #3 The Cad and the Co-Ed.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
