Lead (Stage Dive, #3)

Review: Lead - Book #3 Stage Dive Series - Kylie Scott - November 2014

I have officially now finished the Stage Dive Series by Kylie Scott, and yes, I managed to read them out of order, but I tend to do that often- though I never mean to, it just happens. Book #3 Lead was the story of Jimmy Ferris who is Dave's older brother, and the female lead is Lena. Jimmy as readers would know from the other books in the series has been in and out of rehab, he is your druggie/ alcohol problem rockstar. He also happens to run through his "rehab counselors" like they are going out of fashion. That is until Lena arrives on the scene, she is desperate for a job and takes what she can. She is snappy, sarcastic and won't put up with anyone's rubbish chucked at her and she also needs an excuse not to return home. She is exactly what Jimmy needs and at first, we have our maybe this isn't going to work moments as Jimmy's facade shows through - the temper tantrums but soon he realizes that Lena isn't going anywhere and he could do with a friend. Over the course of the novel, Lena and Jimmy get close on a friendship level and then after an emotional evening, something bonds them together, and now Lena can't stop thinking about Jimmy in a sexual way. Thinking the right thing to do is leave but it comes apparent that there is no way in hell that Jimmy is going to let Lena leave so he does the only thing he can think of to make her stay - he sleeps with her so that she can hate him. Through a series of blind dates, can Lena meet someone to take her mind off Jimmy? What will happen when she finally meets someone who could work for her?  Overall, despite the predictable storyline as we all knew where it was going to head. I did enjoy the character of Jimmy and though Mal is my favorite member of Stage Dive - Jimmy would be taking 2nd Place for me.   If you love Rock N Roll, Music Romances then Stage Dive is the perfect New Adult Romance series for you by Australian author Kylie Scott.

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...
