Rescue Me (Escape from Reality Series, #1)

Review: Rescue Me - Book #1 The Escape From Reality Series - Sara Schoen - May 2017

Before Rescue Me, I had read one of this author's books "The Rebellion Project" which was a finding yourself and experiencing life to the full and a fun YA Read. I wasn't sure what to expect with Rescue Me. I thought it would be another YA type romance read but turned out to have a suspense feel to the novel as the main character is running from her ex-boyfriend. He has made her life hell and won't let her move on; he has the whole if I can't have her anyone else can philosophy going on and it has been taken to the whole new level with Mia having to be on the run and hide in her self-made witness protection program. Reading Rescue Me with the running away theme made me remember the movie "Safe Haven" by Nicholas Sparks where the main character set up a new life in the middle of nowhere.  Not wanting to start any romantic entanglements or get close to anyone Mia tries to keep her distance but she's chosen a small town and she's the shiny new toy.  Especially for Gage Greystone when most people date him for his money and family name, will Mia finally give into Gage after weeks of his persevering ? What will happen though when Mia finally opens her heart to Gage, and her past comes hurtling towards her at full speed and this time her ex-has taken the "If I can't have you, no-one can" to a dangerous level. Rescue Me was a tad slow in places but if you want a clean NA Romantic Suspense then check out Book#1 Rescue Me by Sara Schoen.  The other thing that was noted at the end of the book is that Sara has brought together past characters into the story from her other books like The Rebellion Project.

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...
