One Semester (One Love, #1)

Review: One Semester - Book #1 One Love Series - Charlotte Byrd -  January 2016




The first thing that I need to get out of this way in case you are reading this book because you think it contains Alpha males. That is not the case of One Semester, the males in this book are not alphas - most would be considered jerks. This book contains Strong females, though I wouldn't call them Alpha females either as they go through their wavering and weak moments too. This book starts with Alice heading to college and meeting her roommates Juliet, Dylan, and Tristan. Oopsie - I forgot to mention that Tristan happens to be her ex-boyfriend as of two weeks ago when he dumped her. Alice and Tristan have a long-standing history as they were best friends first since childhood and now he is the man who broke her heart into tiny shards and now she has to live with him. What is the universe trying to say to her? One Semester follows through the lives of Alice and her decisions towards Tristan, Dylan and Juliet and then her friendships with Tea and a few other minor characters. What I liked about this book was the introduction of the thank you notes which were unsent letters that Alice wrote to those who had hurt her helping her realize something about herself. At points this story frustrated me especially with her back and fro'ing with Tristan - it was like make up your mind where you stand with him. I did, however, love watching Alice grow as a character throughout the year and experience her ups and down's throughout her first year as a college student. I am now looking forward to reading Book #2 and finishing the duet as this particular book was me clearing out some of the older reads on my Kindle.

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
