Snapped (Playbook, #4)

Review: Snapped - Book #4 Playbook Series - Alexa Martin - October 2020


The latest girl to join the Lady Mustangs and the crowd at HERS - the bar that Brynn owns is Elliot Read. Elliot, though she is half-black as always tried to do the right thing as she was raised by a white dad and has worked hard to be where she is today. She is now busy working with the Denver Mustangs as a PR rep and trying to move on after her dad's death. This book starts when black footballer Quinton Howard Jnr decides to blackout the football's logo and take a knee during the national anthem. This wouldn't have been such a PR disaster but the thing was that Quinton didn't let anyone know he was going to do it. I have to admit I have enjoyed the series Playbook but felt that Snapped was a bit more leaning on the political side of things and had a strong BLM focus. Now, this is good but when I want to read, I read for escapism from reality and the focus of BLM is currently and has been for the past year - all we see everywhere online. I did continue reading it as I had read the previous three books and wanted to complete the series. In this book, we also see that just as Elliot and Quinton's relationship heads to the next level, Elliot must decide over her job/money and career or her relationship and integrity as she is asked to host an event for a new political figure who is very outspoken about blacks and anyone not white.  What will Elliot choose - Heart or Head?

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
