Review: Homecoming King - Book #1 Three Kings Series - Penny Reid - December 2021

What do you do when you get stuck in a reading rut? I tried two books this morning and nothing clicked for me, they were just blah. So I continued to scroll through my Libby App and came across Penny Reid's Homecoming King. One that had been on my list for a while and also a book that I knew I would enjoy as this author has never failed me. If you want quirky characters, a little awkward, and lots of laughs, then Penny Reid is the author for you. Homecoming King is Book #1 in her Three Kings series and we first meet our female character Abby, she is tending a bar when a huge bulky man comes in just before closing. That man turns out to be Rex McMurtry. He is now a pro footballer and famous, but for Abby - he is the guy who she had a crush on right through school, the only one worthy of having his name doodled in her notebook. The pair went from kindergarten to high school together in the small town of Alenbach and now he's back home and extremely wasted. Abby feels sorry for him and ends up taking him home and caring for him. The next day Rex has a proposition for Abby - he needs a fake wife and he will pay her $1000 a date and a good prenup. This would help Abby pay off her ex-husband's debts faster as she only has two years left, but Abby isn't one to be brought. Of course, like any fake romance story, the romance starts not quite real but somewhere along the book, the line gets blurred and both have strong feelings. Can Rex prove to Abby who has been burned hard once before, that he loves her and that this fake marriage was the only way he could get her to date him in his mind? Will Rex and Abby realize that their too-good-to-be-true love is real and that they both deserve happiness? Find out all this and more in this fun quirky romantic comedy by Penny Reid "Homecoming King".

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...
