                                    Review : Drop Dead Divas - Virginia Brown - Sept 2010

I have always had a bit of a soft-spot when it comes to reading books set in the Southern states of America , I love their names like Gaylenne and Rayne Blue , Bitty , Trinkle Trueview . You can sit back and just imagine these names and imagine what the owner is like , short- blonde , big hair - bouncy personality with their country club memberships and big flash houses.
Drop Dead Diva's is a light -hearted chick-lit mystery , that takes place a few months after the first book finished with Bitty being released and all charges dropped of her accusation to murdering her ex-husband . In Drop Dead Diva's we now witness the death of stock car driver - Race Champion and the accused is Naomi Staples - Bitty's ex-husband's mistress and now Race's fiancee. Of course, this novel wouldn't be very exciting if their wasn't a bit of gossip . Bitty is the head queen of a group of twelve women called the Dixie Divas , who gather over to discuss mainly gossip with their staple diets of chocolates and champagne and sometimes a mix of Earl Grey and Jack - that's Mr Daniels to you. When the lead suspect is found murdered in Bitty's cabin and the Dixie Divas are put in the main suspects shoes - it is up to the good ol' Southerner Dixie Divas to solve the mystery of course nothing is simple with them as we come across relationship issues , family issues and annoying handbag dog issues. Drop Dead Divas is a book that you will be chuckling your way through as it brings out the Southerner Diva humour.

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 - Rina Kent

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 - Penny Reid

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
