Review: The Saved and the Sorry - Book #2 Kingston City Limits - T. Marie Alexander - June 2020

This book I have had sitting on my Kindle for a while now as I read the first one a few years back - Christmas Eve, 2019 - almost four years ago. In the first one The Lost and the Scarred, we read our Roxie came to meet Wran and his brother Josh and about her evil father James. Roxie also managed to get pregnant at 15 to Wran and her baby Harley was uplifted and Josh had sent Wran away so he wouldn't get into trouble as there is an age gap between them. Now in Book #2, Wran is back in Roxie's life and she is also trying to be normal and attend school. The thing though is that Wran and Roxie together, no matter how much they love each other and would die for one another - the pairing is toxic with a capital T as they are two co-dependant on each other and if Roxie is going get custody of her daughter back then she has to get her head screwed on and follow the rules which she can't when Wran is around. Enter Cade - he is Roxie's best friend and your average Nice Rich Guy. To be honest, she is better off being with him - but she loves Wran too much. I got a bit frustrated with the character Roxie in this book as she keeps playing the two guys, it's like just choose one and be done - stop messing with them, and to be honest, she is quite a selfish character. Yes, terrible things happened to her, but it's like stop playing the victim and having the guys fawn all over you and go save your daughter, Go and learn how to be the best mum you can be instead of this helpless female who blames her past for who she is - total victim mentality. I did like the character Josh though, as at least he's busy playing the grown-up and wants to do the right thing for everyone including little Harley.  The book ends on a major cliffhanger and leaves readers with another twisted ending to come to terms with which leads readers to want to read Book #3 The Worthy and the Willful. If you are in the mood for some OG New Adult angst, then check out the Kingston City Limit Series by T. Marie Alexander as the angst in this rivals Tessa and Hardin's in the After series.

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
