Scandalous Beat (Tempest, #6; Black Cat Records, #9)

Review: Scandalous Beat - Book #6 Tempest Series - Michelle Mankin - November 2017

I was in the mood for a rockstar novel and what better one to read than Michelle Mankin's latest in the Tempest series. Scandalous Beat is King's story aka Juaquin and how he fell in love with Miriam - Bryan's little sister.  I have to admit I was a little confused at first since Miriam was talking about Lace being with Warren etc. and I was like wait a minute, isn't Warren with the actress and Lace with Bryan but all is made clear when we discover that Miriam hasn't been in the loop for years with her brother's friends and band. Years ago, Miriam's life went downhill, and now she has made her living working in Vegas as a dancer in a nightclub and being a tutor to the daughter of a mobster. Juaquin is in Las Vegas with his cousin when he runs into Miriam after being invited to the club she is working at. The pair never stopped loving one another, and they are both quite intense and heated people so their relationship is bound to be as strong and hot and definitely emotions run high when they are together. Will having Juaquin back in her life, be the push Miriam needs to be set free and reunite with her family? After reading this, I did love the characters, but for me, I have to admit my heart still belongs to Sager Reed. One thing which I didn't realize but I loved was the fact that in the author's notes, Michelle mentions that the females are all based on Imperfect Disney Princesses, and as I read this and thought about all the female leads it made sense, and I loved this added feature. The other thing that I loved and if you have read other books by Michelle Mankin is the brief crossover of series from Charles in the Finding Me series to Dirt Dogs etc. in the Rock Star, Surf and Second Chance Series and Raven and King's scene in RFC.
Scandalous Beat was another awesome book, and I am now looking forward to the upcoming release of the new book Oceanside.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
