Review: The Rise - Shari Low and Ross King - Book #1 Hollywood - August 2014

This book came across my inbox as part of the Xpresso Book Tours and sounded interesting and I also loved the cover. It screamed a mystery feel to it. The book starts with three friends in 1993 accepting an Oscar for their movie at the Academy Awards - The Brutal Truth directed by Wes Lomax. After the movie awards, you could feel the tension and the three vowed to never talk to each other again and went their separate ways. Fast forward twenty years and the three are still part of the Hollywood industry, worth millions, and have done everything they can to forget their past lives of twenty years ago before they came to LA from Scotland. Davie is an award-winning producer, Mirren- a writer whose series is being made into its 5th film, and Zander - is a Hollywood action hero. All goes well, until now when a reporter from The Daily Scot - Sarah threatens to unravel the dark secret that kept the three connected. Can the three relive the worst experience and time of their lives and get past it or will it threaten to destroy them once and for all? Find out in this past/present novel with past Scotland/LA and present LA.

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
