Review: Chance Encounters - The Locklaine Boys  Spin-Off #1 - Jessica Prince - 2017

I have enjoyed this author's books previously, so when I saw that she had written a new one I knew I had to read it. The other thing that got me all excited about this book was that the main character was seen as a Nerd and socially awkward - Jessica had me at Nerd. Melany Fitzgerald has been working for one of the Locklaine Brothers in their architect firm as a PA and is totally crushing hard on one of the architects Logan. If only she could talk to him and get him to notice her, she may finally have her HEA. Enter Chance Hoffman - those who have read the previous Locklaine Boys series will remember Chance - he is the playboy who tried to get with Devin, he did manage a mini-fling with her till she came to her senses. Chance meets Mel at a work- party and is intrigued by her and her quirkiness. One thing leads to another, and he agrees to help her try and get her man.  She reluctantly agrees, and the first step is seeing Pepper who owns Fire and Ice. What I loved about this book, was that it brought back all our favorite characters from Jessica's previous books and series. Of course readers, you can see what's going to happen as Chance spends more time with Mel and others start to get attracted to her. Chance = Jealous and now he has to fight for the first time in his spoilt playboy life for something he wants and needs. One of the parts that I loved about Chance Encounters was a side storyline of the interactions between Mel and her mother as her mother was the classic evil mother who blamed and relied heavily on Mel for everything. I think overall one of the main reasons; I loved Chance Encounters is that I found myself to be similar to Mel in more than a few ways. If you want a fun Contemporary Romantic Comedy to read, then check out Chance Encounters by Jessica Prince.

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...
