The Beauty of Lies (Stand by Me, #1)

Review: The Beauty of Lies - Books #1 Stand By Me Series - Brinda Berry - October 2015

Secrets are exposed, trust is betrayed and two people face the beauty of lies.

Leo Jensen has a secret life, to his friends he is plain old Leo but to the world, he is known as something more sinister and dangerous. To the world, Leo Jensen is known as Mr. Expose. He exposes the lies and secrets of the world and makes the public face up to their lies and hidden truths. Most people send Leo requests via postcards with their confessions or their stories - the ones they want to be published.  For one female in particular though, she doesn't want her truth and submission to be published and will do anything to stop it, especially since he doesn't seem to be taking her email requests seriously.  Harper Wade fell in love with a man and thought she had met the guy of her dreams as they married. Then he died, and Harper soon learned the dark truth, that the husband she loved was in fact already married with another family. He had been living two lives. Harper in a fit of anger wanted to expose him, but as she got to know his other family and daughter - she softened and decided to protect him so his daughter wouldn't grow up thinking awful of her father. To do that though, she had to stop the postcard from being published. Harper then took things to the next level by semi-stalking Leo and moving into his apartment building after befriending Leo's sister. What will happen though when Harper and Leo start dating and start to fall for one another? Will Leo still want Harper when he discovers the truth especially since exposing the truth is his ideal goal and if there is anything that he hates the most - it's Liars. 
To find out whether Leo decided to forgive Harper and move on, check out Book #1 in the Stand By Me series by Brinda Berry.

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...
