Review: Endgame - Book #1 Ocean Bay Series - Chloe Walsh - March 2018

It's books like this one that I love as it transports me back to the years when New Adult romance had been around for at least 5 years as it kind of perked onto the market about 2012-2013. The year when reading a stepbrother romance was not just about the pure smut and sexual innuendos, it wasn't written as an erotic tale. It was about true emotions and pure love, they knew it was viewed as wrong but the romance wasn't seen as something dirty. Authors like Erin Watt and Estelle Maskame come to mind. In Endgame we first meet Rourke as a child when his mother died, the book then jumps to him at 17/18 years old and his father has just gotten married again. For Rourke, he is about to get another step-sibling aka Number #6. However, he is also going to get twin siblings as Mercy's mum is pregnant with Rourke's father. Mercy isn't happy about this arrangement either and isn't going to roll over and play nice but will be polite for her mother's sake. Mercy isn't afraid of Rourke and is prepared to give it back to him, just as much as he chucks out. Of course, you can see the direction where this story ends up and the other thing is I loved that the book didn't end on a cliffhanger but a years later epilogue. I am now excited to read Book #2 Waiting Game which features Mercy's friend Molly who we read in Endgame that she was in a fire that killed her mum and brother. After reading and enjoying this book, I am now more excited to read Chloe's series Boys of Tommen as I have most of the series on my bookshelf. If you want a series to get back to the world of New Adult romance before the market became saturated, then check out Chloe Walsh's Endgame as you will as a reader wander down memory lane.

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
