Review: When In Rome - Book #1 When in Rome Series - Sarah Adams - September 2022

I have had this book sitting on my bookshelf for a while and when I saw an Instagram buddy read come up, it was the perfect chance to finally get to it and read the book. This is the perfect read for Audrey Hepburn fans as it is loosely based on her movie Roman Holiday. In When In Rome, we have a burnt-out pop star Rae Rose who just wants to be herself - plain old Amelia again as she has found herself being what the world wants and losing herself. We also see her drifting away from her mother who we are about to see as her manager controlling the puppet strings, this is part of the celebrity world that's the most difficult as who can you trust to be your manager as soon the line can blur to being because they care and love you to be all about the pay cheque. Amelia wakes up one morning and just drives, she travels to a small town called Rome, Kentucky, and decides to be the star of her own "Roman Holiday" where she meets a local Noah who runs his grandmother's pie shop.  Amelia spends some time in Rome, Kentucky just being a normal girl and being amongst people who love her for her, not because of her fame and riches. What will happen though when it's time to return to her "real life" as a pop star and go on tour? Will her time in Rome, Kentucky just become a fleeting time in her life or will she take part of it with her forever? Find out in this great romantic love story about finding and rediscovering yourself and what matters in this life once everything has been stripped away as they say When In Rome, do what the Romans do and in this case, they bake pies.

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
