Review: The Long Game - Book #1 Long Game Series - Elena Armas - September 2023

Adalyn Reyes has always tried to be cool, calm, and collected but when she snaps and ends up assaulting the team Mascot and the video goes viral, her dad isn't happy and it looks like extreme damage control is needed. So he is sending her to the middle of nowhere to coach a children's soccer team. The thing though is that when Adalyn gets there, hiding out in the middle of nowhere is retired soccer champion Cameron Caldani. The pair clash of course at first but then you see sparks flying and then eventually the pair do get together through some ups and downs and bumps and twists along the road. The book was a good sports romance but then now comes the downside of The Long Game, it was so slow burn that it felt like the book went on forever. Elena Armas, bless her heart and some readers love slow-burn romances - she is the Queen of them. I need to have my books a bit more fast-paced otherwise my mind wanders and I feel like I am slogging my way through the book just as Adalyn did when she came to the bush of North Carolina.  If you love slow-burn romances, which I did a poll on Instagram and found the majority of readers do and you love your Soccer reads or as the English call it "Football", then you will enjoy Elena Armas's new read The Long Game. Get your cleats on and as the old Yoplait ad went you just gotta: "kick the ball, like I tell ya" and curl up and read The Long Game.

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
