Waiting on the Sidelines (Waiting on the Sidelines, #1)

Review: Waiting on the Sidelines - Book #1 Waiting Series - April 2013


I was in the mood to read something; I didn't know what. So I did what I always do when I can't figure out what to read, I scroll through my kindle until something grabs my attention and usually it's an older book I have had for a while. Waiting on the Sidelines by Ginger Scott is a book I have had in the back of my mind to read. I opened it and started reading it. I have to admit if it wasn't for the author being Ginger Scott, I probably might have given up a few times as this book for me was a slow read - it took me three days of reading in patches to finish. There were moments, I wanted to give up as I struggled with the pace but I got there in the end, and I have to say Anna Todd's Tess and Hardin have nothing on Ginger Scott's Reed and Nolan when it comes to the most angsty couple out there.  The book starts where Nolan transitions from the ultimate tomboy to starting to bring out her female side and girliness. This is due to a new hottie and football star - Reed. The two are classes apart with him being the rich kid and her growing up on the poorer side of the tracks. I did love the character of Nolan though as she persevered for what she wanted. Reed on the other hand was a jerk and I get that he had a sweet side, but seriously Nolan. This book goes through their turbulent relationship from friends to lovers to frenemies and then back to lovers. As I said this book does pack a bit of a punch and is a very angsty read and slow in spots but it was worth the read and I am now wanting to see how their love story progresses with Going Long and eventually Hail Mary.  If you love YA/NA romance, angst and sports then check out Waiting on the Sidelines by Ginger Scott.

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...
