Maid in England



Review: Maid in England - The I Do Crew - Brenda St. John Brown - February 2019
I have to admit, part of me was a little disappointed with this book initially as with a title like Maid in England, it had me thinking possibly a Maid in Manhattan type feel with a possible Cinderella storyline. However, the book they had on the first page a feel of a fake romance set up - I was like, ok I can do this as I loved fake relationships too. Imagine my surprise when the book didn't have a fake romance angle either. This book starts with New Yorker Remi Cooper who has been living in London and working for a PR firm. She has accomplished her way up in the world by being a workaholic and sacrificing things for her career. However, it has now left her almost turning thirty-five without a romantic partner. Years ago, Remi was engaged, but the relationship didn't work out, the guy is now a prominent musician that her firm has been hired to talk to about going on tour and making more of a physical appearance. Remi has been forced to make small talk and track down her ex; the thing is though that they didn't leave on good terms and Alastair did always prefer the quiet life. While this is happening though, strange things are occurring in the firm and look like this also was a ploy to get her out of the office while the stakeholders make some big decisions. Can Remi not only do her job and get Alastair to sign up on tour but also is there a chance to rekindle their romance? Will Remi finally be able to choose between work and love and this time make the right decision despite the consequences of the choices?

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
