Up in Flames (Rosemary Beach, #13)

Review: Up in Flames - Book #13 Rosemary Beach Series - Abbi Glines - June 2016

If you have been following the Rosemary Beach series by Abbi Glines, then you will be all too familiar with the character Nan and all her antics. She is the Mean Girl of Rosemary Beach. She is the type to hold a grudge and ruin lives. If you are in her way, then she will do anything and everything in your power to destroy you until she gets what she wants. However, underneath every bad and mean girl, there must be some ounce of goodness and Major - not Captain. I got a little confused at first since they are both titles and had the latest Abbi Glines I had read before Up in Flames featured Captain. Major has been hired to keep an eye on Nan and get close to her as she supposedly is connected to a drug dealer that Major's company has been searching for and wanted him DOA. What happens though when Nan starts to pull away from Major and give him the cold shoulder, she is known for? Can he earn back her trust or will the big guns come out to play as while in Vegas - Nan meets Gannon and he treats her like she wants to be treated, a way no-one has ever made her feel before and OMG she might just be falling in love. I know right - Nan having feelings of love for someone other than herself. I have to admit in Up in Flames; I did near the end start to feel for Nan as she was truly starting to open up and love and then they trampled on her feelings. What will happen though when she discovers that she will end up getting more than she bargained for with the relationship with Gannon? Will he realize she is more than just a job and that he too is falling in love for the first time? An experience that neither party thought that they would ever experience in their lifetimes? One of my favorite things about Abbi Glines's series is that you never have to miss the previous characters as often their tales crossover in all her books and they have guest character appearances. If you are like me and going through Abbi Glines's booklists, then check out Book #13 in the Rosemary Beach series as you will not be disappointed with Nan's story in Up in Flames.

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...
