The Treble With Men (Scorned Women's Society, #2)

Review: The Treble With Men - Book #2 The Scorned Women's Society - Piper Sheldon - April 2020
One of my favorite publishing companies lately is called Smartypants Romance where the books are all based in Penny Reid's world of Green Valley.  The Treble with Men is Book #2 in the Scorned Women's Society - we first met them in the story My Bare Lady with Suzie Samuels. The SWS is a group made up of Jethro Winston's ex-girlfriends. Kim Dae when she was younger was on her way to success with her music and her Cello. That was until one day at Band camp, one of the girls committed suicide. This started a domino effect that led to drugs and alcohol and hanging around with Jethro Winston. Years later, Kim has changed her name to Christine Day and is playing in the orchestra but she has changed her whole personality and is a shell of herself. The new music director Devlin remembers Kim from band camp when they were younger and always loved her. He is shocked to see what she is like now and during the book, pushes her to be a better Cello player. Devlin, on the other hand, wears a hat and a mask as he doesn't want anyone to know his true identity. During the rest of the book, we read as Devlin and Kim have this sizzling chemistry but the introduction to another guy Changy puts a dent in Devlin's plan. I have to admit this wasn't one of my favorite books in the series as I found the character of Kim quite a weak female and she just frustrated me right through the novel and Changy was a creepy stalkery dude that you can imagine him drugging someone because he wanted them and Devlin - seriously get over your identity, embrace who you are and freaking stand-up for yourself instead of hiding your true identity. The part that I did love was when Kim reunited with Jethro and Baby Winston and she was able to get closure about their relationship and incidents that happened back when she went rebel chick.  If you love Penny Reid's books, then check out the Smartypants Romance reads.

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
