Review: Playing Hard to Get - Book #1 The Players Series - Monica Murphy - December 2022 It had been a while since I had read a Monica Murphy title and I have a few of hers on my bookshelf, so I wanted to get back into them. Years ago I read a couple back when Drew and Fable were just starting to date and eventually got married. I even read a couple of their kids including Jake Callahan. In Playing Hard to Get we meet the Maguire family which is Drew and Fable's sister and brother-in-law. Another family of elite footballers. Playing Hard to Get features Knox Maguire, a college footballer player with dreams of heading just like his relatives to the NFL. This book starts with us meeting the female character Joanna who works in the bookstore on campus - she currently broke up with her longtime, long-distance boyfriend Bryan and her friends keep pushing her to get out there. There is one type of guy, she will never go for and that is athletes, however, this is a case of "never say...

Review: Barbie Girl - Book #1 Baby Doll Series - Heidi Acosta - November 2012 This is a book that I have had on my kindle for years and I brought it originally as I loved the cover. Barbie Girl by Heidi Acosta is an Edgy YA novel and shows readers not to judge others by what they look like on the exterior as in this book we have two female leads Barbie and Katie. Barbie is the girl from the wrong side of the tracks, she looks rough and there are always rumors about her flying around that she has done drugs and sleeps around whereas Katie gets the perfect grades, has a good family and looks wholesome and clean as she is saving herself supposedly for marriage. The truth is though that these girls couldn't be as different from the facade they put out. Barbie is failing in maths and so she gets a tutor - Dylan whom they were friends in second grade. As the book goes along, Dylan agrees to help Barbie on the condition she can help make Katie fall in love with him. ...
