A Royal Affair (Royal Ties Book One)


Review: A Royal Affair - Book #1 Royal Ties - Amy Saunders - November 2017

As soon as I saw the word Royal, I knew it would be a book that I was attracted too. Royalty is one of my favorite tropes. The thing though that I found with A Royal Affair was that it wasn't a favorite of mine and I wonder if I am more partial to the more traditional Cinderella style of Prince falling in love with a commoner than a gender reversal of Princess and Commoner.  Either that or I just couldn't connect as much as I hoped with the character of Desi. Desi is the Princess and heir to the throne of Lorencia; the kingdom is a female-run kingdom with Desi living with her mother - the Queen and her Grandmother - Mum's Mum. Astin has come to Lorencia hoping to build a bigger Gold Hotel Empire as he has taken over the reins of his father's business. A year ago Desi and Astin spent a night together and then it was over in a flash, but as we are about to learn, the pair still has feelings for one another. Desi though is cautious as she is torn between Astin loving her or the niggle that he is using her for her position and role she plays in getting the Gold Hotel proposal passed. Can Astin prove that he loves her? What will happen though when somebody drugs Desi at Astin's club? Is someone trying to sabotage both Desi and paint Astin as the bad guy? Can the pair get pass everything and the obstacles are thrown in their way and Astin prove that he wants an HEA with Desi and that his feelings are true and genuine?

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
