Captured (Gowns & Crowns #2)


Review: Captured - Book #2 Gowns and Crowns Series - Jennifer Chance - January 2016
I enjoyed Emmaline's story about how she ended up with the prince. Book #2 features her friend Lauren - the American Princess. I have to admit I had high hopes as I enjoyed the first book, but I just couldn't connect with the main characters as Lauren is spoiled and guarded, which I could see why as we learn later in the book but she just frustrated me as it's like freaking hell, Lauren it's alright to show some love and compassion and stop being a snobby cow. Then we have Dmitri the bodyguard as our male lead and I wanted to whack him around the head and say wake up, look she cares about you and you like her so stop being a jerk and accept the reality in front of you instead of thinking that you are more important to be a bodyguard as he kept freaking exerting his Army rank. It was like nobody cares, just do what you are told. While stuck on the island and getting prepared for Emmaline's upcoming nuptials to Prince Kristoff, the royal family is having a ball and coming is Lauren's parents and Henry Smithison. Henry is a pervert and reminded me of a Mr. Elton type character - I wanted to strangle him. Henry is a good friend of Lauren's family and when she was little, he played the role of a dutiful Uncle but once she turned 18 - he wanted to marry her and started sending her gifts to keep her under his thumb. He is a sadistic alpha who wants what's his and that's Lauren. The thing is though that Lauren doesn't want to marry Henry and wishes she could finally be free.  With Lauren and Henry now on the same small island, Dmitri will do anything he can do to save Lauren from Henry's clutches and along the way their mutual frenemy hate for one another will start to fade and in its place will be fiery passion and chemistry. However, will the American Princess be able to live happily with the Bodyguard from Garronia or will she be the dutiful daughter in the end and be thrust into an arranged marriage she never wanted with Henry? Find out in Book #2 Captured by Jennifer Chance.

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
