Beau and Bett

Review: Beau and Bett - Kathryn Berla - June 2019




One of my favorite tropes to read are renditions of fairytales and one of my all-time favorite fairytales happens to be the story of Beauty and the Beast. So when I saw Beau and Bett was to be a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, I knew I had to read it. The book starts off with a twist where Beau is our "beauty". He comes from a lovely family, where though they may not have a lot and are on hard times - the love they have for each other is strong and keeps them united. The Beast in this book is Bett aka Bettina. She is the ice queen and at school is known as being rude and mean and she is nicknamed Bett the Beast.  The book starts off with Beau's mum stopping and picking an avocado from the ranch that Bett's family owns and then backing out, Beau's mother crashes into Bett's car. With the families insurance lapsed as they couldn't afford it, Beau stands up and goes to the ranch to see if he can work off the cost that his family owes.  Bett's father and grandmother agree and so Beau starts working odd jobs on the ranch. As he does this he starts to build a relationship with Bett and see her in a different light, he discovers that she is different from what others perceive her to be and in fact she is lonely.  Can Beau the beauty tame Bett the beast and the pair strike off a potential YA romance? Find out in Beau and Bett by Kathryn Berla. A modern take on Beauty and the Beast.

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
