Why Lie?

Review: Why Lie ? - Book #2 Love Riddles Series - Carey Heywood - September 2016

To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect when I requested to read this book, all I knew was that since it was written by Carey Heywood it is one that becomes an automatic read as I love her books. In Why Lie ? however, the main female character made me want to scream and I was like really, godamn you get over yourself and stop making it all about you. I have not felt this strongly against a character in a while but OMG the character of Sydney really annoyed the heck out of me and despite everything that happened to her I found her to be acting like a spoilt brat. Why Lie ? starts with a wonderful and romantic week between Sydney and Heathcliff aka Heath. The pair haven't let anyone know about them yet and are still in really early days. The next thing though Sydney learns that Heath has just proposed to another chick.  Was he using her for sex and nothing else ? Was Sydney just something fun before committing ? Hurt and feeling rejected, Sydney runs away and during this time the engagement is off and we discover the reasoning behind the sudden engagement and the reason it is off. This is why, I believe that you should never propose drunk as you may live to regret it when you are sober. During this time Sydney heads to her grandmother's cabin when tragedy strikes.  Realising he doesn't want to give her up without a fight, Heath stands by Sydney right the way through recovery. What really annoyed me was that you can see that Heath wants her forgiveness and is trying to do everything to make it up and she wants to give in but has this damn stubborn streak which I hated as it's like he has personal issues going on , stop making him hurt even more. You either want to be with him or not, stop pusyfooting and playing games.  As I haven't read the first one yet, I am eager to read it as I do like Carey Heywood.
Why Lie ? Is a romantic story for all those who have loved and lost and especially those wanting to gain a second chance with the ones they truly love and adore and will do anything to make it possible even for a single moment.

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...
