Love at First Spite

Review: Love at First Spite - Anna E. Collins - January 2022

In the mood for a bit of revenge and romance? After being in an accident myself yesterday as I fell over face-first on the concrete, I needed a bit of a light-hearted romance to take my mind off things as I was in pain. I may look like a right mess, but at least I had a good read to help lift my spirits. Love at First Spite started with a bit of fun as our main character we learn Danielle was due to get married but her fiancé Sam cheated on her. So, to give her ex-fiancé and the wedding the middle finger, she decides to put her dress to use and destroy it with paintball splatters along with her cousin Mia. Their adventures finish off at a bar with Mia meets Matt - the bartender and Dani run into Wyatt - an architect from work in the bathroom. One thing leads to another for Mia and Matt and through connections - Dani gets a new place to live with Matt's older Aunty Iris. I liked the character of Iris as she was down-to-earth and blunt and a bit of a hard case "nana" character. During a night of drinking and talking, the three come up with a plan to annoy Sam and get revenge. They pool their savings and buy the empty land next to Sam's house and plan to build an Air BNB and it will represent everything that Sam hates. It is a Spite House. Just one slight problem, Dani needs an architect and as she is known in the business - wants it off books. Enter Wyatt - he is willing to help her in return for a favor to help his own Nana. The pair have this rocky relationship, that you don't know if it is love or hate or are they friends or frenemies? You can tell Dani wants Wyatt but after being betrayed has sworn off guys and then Wyatt has been hurt badly in the past and he wants more but doesn't know if he can trust again. To be honest, the two main characters annoyed me with their back and forth's but the side characters of Mia, Matt, and Iris made up for it. I did also feel a little let-down by the ending when everything went up in flames and it felt like everything the book had worked towards was for nothing - this fell a bit flat for me.  Overall, however, if you are looking for a light-hearted chick-lit read - then check out Anna E. Collins's new 2022 release - Love at First Spite which will also leave you thinking of what would you do to spite your worst enemy or someone who betrayed you?

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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
