Everything Stolen

Review: Everything Stolen - Sophia Scarlet - September 2016
I have to admit at; first I had high hopes for this book, as I love stories where characters get a second chance at love, but this book to me lacked the strong romance bonds of sweetness and soulmates for me.  In Everything Stolen, we first meet Jeremy Bradford who has been in a coma for the past four years after an accident. Four years ago, Jeremy despite his family's wishes was about to ask his then girlfriend Sylvie to marry him. She was not the type of girl that the Bradfords expected their son to be with but Jeremy loved her, then just as he was about to do this he disappeared and stayed gone for four years.  Sylvie left alone with no-one but her unborn child at the time relied heavily on the Bradford's lawyer Silas who fell in love with Sylvie. She has never loved him completely as her heart will always be for Jeremy and her son but she had no-one else and no-one who could give her a provided life as she now had her son to think about too. Sylvie agreed to marry Silas and they have been married for four years now.  The novel then skips to the present time - Four years later and Jeremy Bradford has woken up asking for Sylvie. What follows is as expected , Jeremy comes back to discover life has changed and Sylvie is now married and of course he wants Sylvie back and to get to know his son. I have to admit , I hated the way that Silas controlled Sylvie in this book as he could clearly see she loved him, she never stopped but of course Silas doesn't want to let go what he's been building over the years and has a financial hold and emotional hold over Sylvie. I did like the ending as I am a sucker for second chances but have to admit this book wasn't a huge favourite as I hated the manipulation and power that Silas had and used over Sylvie when he could clearly see where she wanted to be and what her heart wanted.
If you are a fan of the Amnesiac, Second Chance romances then check out "Everything Stolen" by Sophia Scarlet.

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
