Bryce (Scandalous Boys #1)

Review: Bryce - Book #1 Scandalous Boys - Natalie Decker - February 2016

Growing up Madison had two best guy friends - Graham and Bryce. Graham later became her best friend, and Bryce was the bonus. Despite their friendships, Bryce and Madison clashed and liked to tease one another.  Madison hopes that this is her year to get Graham to see her more than a friend finally and as a possible girlfriend material. She has seen him as her Mr. Perfect. That is until her cousin Sarah moves in with her family after her parents are arrested for White Collar crimes. This is a disaster from day one as Sarah is manipulative and again like the previous book I read Girl on the Verge by Pintip Dunn. Sarah wants everything that Madison has and will go to lengths to ruin her life even to the point of poisoning Graham's view of Madison. When Graham breaks Madison, it is Bryce who comes to her rescue, and suddenly Madison will see Bryce in a completely different light as she learns he is not the bad boy that everyone has portrayed him and judged him for. In fact, Bryce has a caring side and Madison makes him want to be a better person.  I found Bryce to be a modern teen version of Pride and Prejudice where both characters hold Pride in their lives and Prejudice towards one another as Madison sees Bryce as a troublemaker and the epitome of Bad Boy whereas Bryce sees Madison as a Goody-Goody two shoes and the Epitome of an Angel. Can Madison and Bryce make things work and prove to others that their love for one another is real and that opposites can attract to one another?

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
