1984: Against All Odds (Love in the 80s #5)

Review: 1984 : Against all Odds - Book #5 Love in the 80's Series - Rebecca Yarros - May 2016




Before the music industry ruled both of their lives, two teenagers fell in love, Sabrina Caroline, and Hawke Owens. The two were heavily in love and thought the world of one another, and they complimented each other's musical talents, and then reality and fame hit breaking the pair apart. Now years later, Sabrina is America's Pop Sweetheart and is making her comeback from having a year off. There are rumors circulating, but the truth is she hates performing in front of people and gets bad stage anxiety.  Hawke Owens's band Birds of Prey are climbing the charts fast and hard, and now they are the top band around, and everyone wants a piece of them. Now Sabrina is being forced into a collaboration project with Birds of Prey. Will the pair be able to work together especially with their jagged history? Can the musical pair make their romance work on and off-screen? Can they work against all the odds despite the obstacles being chucked at them from all sides ? Like the previous Love in the 80's books, 1984: Against all the odds was a quick read and for those fans of the music world, will love Rebecca Yarros take on the year 1984.
 Each one of the Love in the 80's books can also be read as stand-alone as this is 10 -author collaboration project.

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...
