Beef Cake (Donner Bakery, #4)

Review: Beef Cake - Book #4 Donner Bakery - Jiffy Kate - March 2020


When I saw the new wave of Smartypants Romance books being released, I was so excited and couldn't wait to read them, in the hopes of being reunited with familiar characters from other stories. In Beef Cake we meet Frankie Reeves who is an ER Nurse and looks after her mother who is an agoraphobic and Gunnar Erickson who is an MMA fighter and moved to Green Valley to train with his brother Cage whose partner is Tempest - we had their story in Stud Muffin. Frankie's hope is to one day find her father and in turn, possibly find the truth out about her scars and nightmares as she doesn't remember much of her life before she was seven and they moved to the women's shelter. Gunnar's whole life has been about becoming the best MMA fighter he can be and taking the world by storm. Gunnar meets Frankie in the ER and though there is attraction, it is shortlived when she finds out what he does for a living. Can Gunnar prove to Frankie he only fights in the ring and is nothing like her father? Without giving away spoilers, I have to admit my favorite part of Beef Cake was when the identity of Frankie's father was revealed as it brought back memories of past books and characters read.  I am now looking forward to exploring the other new wave of Smartypants Romance and seeing what journey they will take us on and where they will lead too.

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...
