1981: Jessie's Girl (Love in the 80s #2)


Review: 1981: Jessie's Girl - Book #2 Love in the 80's Series - Lindy Zart - February 2016

We all have an era that we wish we were born in or one that we love and fantasize about, for me it is the 80's and so it made sense to me to get the Love in the 80's collection. In this collection, each book is named after a popular song of that year, and each book is a year in the 1980's decade.  I have to admit at first take I was surprised at this read as I am not used to the males being the lead characters in New Adult books or the fact that the males outweigh some female characters. In 1981, we met Sam who has been awoken by one of his best mates Jessie and Jessie's current flavor of the week Catherine Tate. The group of friends couldn't be any more different, but this is their last bit of freedom and time together before college hits. We have Sam - the main character, Jessie - the jerk, Catherine - his flavor of the week, Dickie - their brainiac and slightly overweight friend and Hannah - the female jock. During their road trip, they are about to discover that being in confined spaces; their friendships will be tested and emotions run high as they go through being victims of a hold-up, liking one another and jealousy striking. It will be one road-trip that this group of friends will never forget. The Love in the 80's books are all New Adult themed and written as Novellas - so are fast-paced reads.

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
