True (True Believers, #1)

Review: True - Book #1 True Believers Series - Erin McCarthy - May 2013
As I make my way through the year, I made a vow to myself that I would try and catch up on old titles that I have had sitting on my Kindle/Ipad for a while.  I have been about 60/40. One of the older titles was True by Erin McCarthy which is first in the True Believers series. Previously, I had only read Book #3 in this series.  In True, we met Rory Macintosh who is your maths and science type girl - the logical and literal female. Due to overcrowding at the University, Rory ended up rooming with best friends Kylie and Jessica - these two are party types, and they welcomed Rory into their little group. At one of the parties, a mutual friend tries to take advantage of Rory which leads her to reveal to her friends that she is a 22-year-old Virgin. In their group of friends is Tyler Mann. He comes across as your typical bad boy and the type that Kylie and Jessica believe Rory needs to lose her virginity especially since he has never really been the relationship type of guy. That is though until he meets Rory. As you can guess what is going to happen, we readers discover that of course there is more than meets the eye with Tyler and I did love the fact that Erin made him a reader - I have to admit this made me swoon. I also loved the fact that Tyler loved his family and his brothers. The other part that I loved with True was though we all knew that Rory and Tyler were destined to be together at the end of the book for an HEA. I loved how for a change the author didn't make them get hitched at the end of the novel as I have read so many New Adult books and yes, the majority of them end up in the main two characters getting married and living happily ever after. It was really refreshing to read a book where the characters may love each other and don't feel the need to rush into marriage as in today's world often couples who might have been together for years don't get married, but it doesn't make them love each other any less . If you are looking for a good New Adult series to read where Opposites can attract and there is more than meets the eye with the characters. Then check out "True" by Erin McCarthy today.

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...
