Something I Need (xoxo Nashville, #1)

Review: Something I Need - Book #1 xoxo Nashville Series - Lena Lowe - September 2016


As a reader you start to develop favourite themes and places to read about in novels. One of my favourite settings is Nashville - as a big fan of the country music scene and even more so now after visiting Nashville, I love to read about it as it sparks the memories of my time there and of course most of the books set in Nashville have that country music theme. In Something I Need, we meet Jonte Williamson who has come from Australia to Nashville to compete in the finals of an American Idol type reality TV show as her dreams are to become a singer. However, when Jonte arrives it doesn't look like Lady Luck is shining on her side as her accomodation falls through and now she is homeless and her money is running thin. The first night she arrives, she meets bartender Cash and his twin sister Dolly and the pair take Jonte under their wings. As we read on we discover that Cash has some demons surrounding his past and we learn the real reason why he hates everything country especially the classic country music. Something I need is a sweet and at times edgy and LOL romance story. One of the things I really loved about this book was the memories it stirred from visiting Centennial Park to seeing the Pantheon and even walking around the Vanderbilt University campus. If you are looking for a sweet, romance tale then check out book #1 in Lena Lowe's series xoxo Gossip Girl , sorry meant xoxo Nashville.

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...
