The Wedding Date (The Wedding Date, #1)

Review: The Wedding Date - Book #1 The Wedding Date Series - Jasmine Guillory - January 2018
This book has been sitting on my pile to read for a while now and after reading The Cake King which was a sweet romance, I was in the mood for a bit more light-hearted reads to break up my mystery and romantic suspense novels. The Wedding Date starts with Alexa and Drew being stuck in an elevator together in the same hotel. Alexa was on her way to celebrate her sister's promotion armed with Champagne and Cheese/Crackers and Drew is in town as his friend Josh is getting married to his ex-girlfriend Molly and to make matters more complicated he is a groomsman and dateless. After sharing and bonding over cheese and crackers as they wait for the elevator to start moving again - Drew on a whim asks Alexa to be his date to the wedding and play the role of fake girlfriend. Alexa who is oddly attracted to Drew thinks why the hell not and the pair end up as dates to a wedding. Alexa isn't normally the type Drew goes for as his type is tall, blonde and white whereas Alexa is short, dark hair and black - which of course gets a few racist comments at the wedding, seeing as she is the only black person in a sea of white and a few other races. The pair hit it off and start a long-distance are we friends or dating relationship scenario. Near the end though, things get a bit rocky as Alexa is falling head over heels for Drew but doesn't know if what they have is real or if he is still faking it and having a fling. Can Drew prove to Alexa that she is his "one" despite the odds stacked against them? Find out in The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory today if you are looking for a chick-lit romance read today.

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...
