Review: The Art of Being Friends - Book #1 The Art of Being Friends Series - Jessica Sorensen - April 2020

I am always left with mixed emotions when I finish any book by Jessica Sorensen, the first is excitement as I know that before I start any of her books I will love it and end up enjoying it and feeling for her damaged and broken characters. She was one of the first New Adult authors that I read many moons ago and an author, I will always love. The second is sadness as I also know that she is similar to the author Scarlett Haven who write a great first book and then they don't end up finishing the darn series and writes book 2 or a conclusion and you as a reader is left hanging and just hoping or in my case making up your ending of the series and conclusions. Years ago, we learn that Raven's parents were killed or murdered and Raven for some reason blames herself for it, she now lives with her uncle who is the sheriff, and his wife and child. The uncle is a sadistic brute who is not only abusive but corrupt towards Raven, his wife is the epitome of an evil stepmother and then her cousin is a manipulative barbie doll. I honestly really feel for Raven and my heart bleeds for her.  She starts a new school in a small town called Honeyton and captures the attention of the three resident hotties Hunter, Jax, and Zay - these three are just as damaged as Raven and don't let anyone into their circle, but it seems that they might just make an exception for Raven and in return- she can help them dig up dirt on her family and even maybe learn more about her past.  The other thing I loved about this book was Raven's full name - Ravenlee Wynterwillow overall, I loved this book but sadly I can't finish the series and find out the truth about Raven's family, but it certainly hit the spot to kick me out of my reading slump.

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
