Nala (Women of Strength)

Review: Nala - Women of Strength Series - Adelle Laudan - November 2014
Nala lives in an Indian village called Lakoda in Canada; she was born with a birthmark on her cheek. In her village, many of the females are married by a certain age and if not they become outcasts. For Nala as the eldest daughter, she is fearful of becoming forever alone just like her name means. With her younger sister's wedding coming up, Nala is possible without a date as her latest arrangement ended up with him calling her a Windego. One day though Nala sees a guy looking at her and feels a spark, the next day he is gone. Did she dream him or is he real? Over the next course of the days, she will catch glimpses and once she accepts that she is truly beautiful and a Woman of Strength, the guy is known as Thunder reveals himself to Nala, and the HEA comes with him asking for her hand in marriage. This part made me swoon, and I was so overjoyed for Nala as she deserved it more than anyone to have someone truly accept her for who she is as a whole, birthmark and all.

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...
