Review : Mr. Wrong Number - Book #1 Mr. Wrong Number Series - Lynn Painter - March 2022 After reading Betting On You, I had been excited to read this one - but unlike Betting on You which I loved, Mr. Wrong Number fell a little flat for me. It was an average read and still a good romance, but I wonder if it was because I had read a few too many wrong number books and maybe I need to take a break as I normally enjoyed this trope. I just couldn't connect as well with this book overall as much as I had hoped for. If you are in the mood for a good romance where a wrong number turns into an unlikely romance and HEA then Mr. Wrong Number is the book for you. If you love stories where the female character falls for the sibling's best friend, then this is the book for you. If you love roomies in love, then this is the book for you. The book starts of course with Olivia - the female character who is currently living with her brother and his best friend getting a text asking her what is ...

Review: Cancelled - Farrah Penn - March 2024 You ever get in those moods where you want to read something, but the books you keep picking up, just don't hold your interest, and then wham bam - third time lucky. You find a book that isn't just holding your interest but it's an amazing read and turns out to be a 5-star read. That was me on Saturday morning with Cancelled by Farrah Penn. I first tried a couple of thrillers on the Libby App and then clicked on this book and loved it. Imagine the movies Easy A and Saved and you will have Cancelled. The book starts with our main female Brynn being a flirting coach and a bit of a Cyrano De Bergerac as she helps people write the perfect flirting messages and she's great at it too. That is until at a Halloween party, she not only breaks up with her boyfriend but someone has taken a picture of a person in a banana suit giving a guy a BJ. The guy is Duncan who is the boyfriend of Brynn's ex-best friend Lenora. Brynn is innocen...

Review: These Deadly Games - Diana Urban - February 2022 After reading her debut novel All Your Twisted Secrets, I was excited to read her new book These Deadly Games. For fans like myself who love YA thrillers, then this is the book for you as we meet Crystal and her five friends who are all preparing for a gaming tournament. The tournament started with a team of six, but the rules changed and now only five of them can enter. The group decided that the first five to reach a 20K score can represent their team which means one will miss out. During the book, it really will become each man or woman for themselves and some are even willing to kill for it. Crystal Donovan who is our main female character - finds her sister kidnapped and now someone known as Anonymous1 is sending her on a set of dangerous games and if she doesn't follow Anonymous rules then her sister is dead. I have to admit about 100 pages towards the ending, I did guess who Anonymous 1 was, and then it all made sen...
