Review : The Unhoneymooners - Christina Lauren - May 2019

Olive and her twin sister Ami are identical twins, they look the same but that is where the similarities stop. Ami seems to have all the good luck wheres Olive got the bad luck charm. She is accident-prone and things never seem to go her way. Her sister Ami is about to get married and now Olive is to be the maid of honor in a dress that Ami won and makes her look like a giant skittle. The other bad news is the best man is her arch-nemesis, Ethan. He is the groom's brother and Olive's enemy. The pair have had a hate relationship ever since they first met and to think that Olive thought he was hot and cute. At the wedding reception is a seafood buffet that of course, Ami won, the thing is though that Olive is allergic to seafood and Ethan doesn't eat buffet food so they have their own meals catered for. This results in the whole wedding guests etc getting seafood poisoning except for Olive and Ethan, which brings us to the main theme of the story. Another prize Ami won was a non-refundable trip to Hawaii - all expenses paid and a ten-day trip. With Olive and Ethan having the same surnames as the original party, they take the trip together. It starts off as two enemies having the worst times of their lives but when Olive's new boss and Ethan's ex-girlfriend end up on the same island at the same resort - lies start to bubble out and the pair pretend to be husband and wife. As the charade goes on, the pair discover that they actually like each other and the other isn't that bad. Olive will also discover the nasty truth about her twin sister's new husband and when they get back - Olive is left with the dilemma to tell Ami the truth or not. What will happen when Olive and Ethan get back to reality? Will their relationship continue or will they discover that when they are around family, they go back to their old ways of hating one another? 
Find out in this contemporary Enemies to Lovers tale from the wonderful duo that is Christina Lauren.

  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
