The Quiet Game

Review: The Quiet Game - Book #1 Pushed Aside series - Cassandra Hallman - July 2018
When Elisa's parents died and she became an orphan, she ended up as a ward of the state. It was her first foster home when she was four years old that she met Jaxon. He was seven years old and grew to protect her. That was until an incident happened when he was at school and he managed to get her removed from that house. Sadly though, Elisa didn't have the greatest of homes and learned that it was easy to become invisible and a shadow so she adapted the five words a day maximum technique and over the years preferred not talking. One night when she is thirteen, she escapes from her home and meets three older boys Colt, Hunter and Jax. She doesn't quite remember him, but he does her. Jax sets out over the years to protect her as he has connections inside the system. Eventually, he has her moved to a group home where she starts to flourish and make friends finally. Life is looking up for Elisa as she has a great friend in Jen and she is starting to have feelings for Jax. Will Jax let her into his life and what will happen when she learns the truth about Jax? The Quiet Game gets quite intense in the last couple of chapters as Jax's friend Colt goes off the deep end and threatens everyone that Elisa loves and cares about to get back at Jax. When he doesn't get his own way, he will go after the one thing Jax loves the most - Elisa. Can Elisa finally use her voice to save herself and say what she wants for her future? Find out in the first book of the Pushed Aside series by Cassandra Hallman. A book that reminded me of the early NA series.

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
