Review: The Boyfriend Candidate - Book #2 Fool Me Once Series - Ashley Winstead - May 2023

You know that feeling when you find a book that you want to shout from the rooftops that everyone has to read, that was The Boyfriend Candidate by Ashley Winstead for me. I thought Fool Me Once was a good read, but this one topped that book and has now made it on my list of must-reads for 2023. The book starts with us meeting Alexis Stone - she is the younger sister of Lee Stone who was in Fool Me Once and does make several appearances in this book including the famous Captain Planet costume. In the Boyfriend Candidate, Alexis has discovered her longtime boyfriend Chris was cheating on her and so with the anniversary of him dumping her coming up, she decides to become Ruby Dangerfield and have a one-night adventurous stand. Of course, she didn't expect it to be potentially with a politician and to end with her picture in the paper. Logan Adams is running for senator and needs to present a wholesome image and now with Alexis and his picture on the news, he needs her to pretend to be his fake girlfriend. Of course, this is always easier said than done but as the book goes along, sparks fly of course between our two main characters who the author wrote perfectly as even for a politician - you can't help but stand by Logan. He just has this air of genuineness about him. I think the thing I loved most about this book was the fact that Alexis is a school librarian which as someone whose career this was, it spoke to me. The other thing I loved was how she used her leverage to talk about higher pay for support staff, book bans, and funding for libraries - all things that are very real issues and that I am passionate about myself.  If you get a chance this year to read The Boyfriend Candidate, then I highly recommend you do as you will not be disappointed.

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
