Review: All That We Never Were - Book #1 Let It Be Series - Alice Kellen - February 2019

Though this book was originally published in 2019, it has only really hit the world of Social Media in the last couple of months with its eye-catching cover that makes us not only crush on the book but want to read it. I went into the book having a feeling that it was going to be an angsty New Adult Romance with potentially the same feel as After by Anna Todd. It wasn't as Angsty as I thought, but turned out to be more unrequited love and then requited love and then back to unrequited before finishing the end of Book #1. It was like come on Axel, man up and fight for her, don't show her that you are the quitter everyone thinks you are. The book starts with thirty-year-old Axel being asked a favour by his best friend since childhood Oliver - to look after his sister Leah while he is away for the year. Leah was with her parents when they died in a car accident and she survived but wishes she was dead. Her life lost all happiness and colour and she withdrew. Axel hates seeing her like this and pushes her out of her shell and we see glimpses of the old Leah back. Of course, this means that Leah's feelings of love for Axel come back and he fights until he gives up and they end up sleeping together. Of course, not everyone is happy with the decision and how can they be when she's only 19 and he's 30? Will Axel do the right thing and fight for her or will he "Let it Be" and in the words of Elsa - Let it Go? This book also features throughout the novels, quite a few songs of The Beatles including a childhood favourite of Yellow Submarine. The book ends on a semi-cliffhanger as Book #2 picks up three years later. If you are in the mood for some New Adult Romance, then check out "All That We Never Were" by Alice Kellen today.

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...
