Hate to Love You

Review: Hate To Love You - Tijan - August 2017
I was excited to read this book as Tijan wrote it and as I started reading it, I remembered why I loved reading her books. They are so addicting, and once you get started, you want to read it all in one sitting as you find yourself drawn into the story. They are so easy to read, it's like candy. Kennedy who by the way was a kick-azz character, I loved her as she wasn't afraid to tell people what she thought about them. I did later learn this was her coping mechanism, but she was strong-willed.  Kennedy is studying law and ends up being in the same class as two of the school's football stars Shay Coleman and Linde. Now that Kennedy is in college and been burned by a football jerk before - Parker she is staying away from the jocks. However, Shay is not someone who is used to girls saying no to him, and there is a spunk about Kennedy that he likes. Thus begins a romantic chase for Shay as he tries to get Kennedy to like him. I have to admit; I liked the side character Linde as he was a good friend and a solid guy, you could tell he was a genuinely nice person. This book gets a bit edgy in the middle as one of Kennedy's acquaintances Casey is raped. Kennedy is one of the few to know the truth about what happened, and this starts to bond Casey and Kennedy together, not to mention Kennedy's older brother Gage is in love with Casey. After a confrontation with the supposed rapist and a video goes viral of Kennedy which gives her the nickname DickCrusher she is then attacked herself and then she learns that the guy she loves has a stalker. Can Kennedy be with a guy who has lots of drama surrounding him or will she let him know she can't date someone like that? I didn't see the twist with the ending chapters coming, but I was like jeez throw some more drama into the fire, why don't now Tijan. Hate To Love You by Tijan is an awesome book that will have you wanting to go to college all over again and is filled with drama that will have you sitting on the edge of your seats.

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...
