Review: Jane - April Lindner- October 2010
Have you ever wondered what life may have been like for Jane Eyre if she had lived in today's society ? Meet Jane Moore, she is seventeen and an orphan. All she ever wanted to do was go to College but when her parents die and she is left penniless she must go forth and seek employment. Jane Moore applies with Diminishing Nannies Inc and gains a job working as a Nanny for 80's Rock Star Nico Rathbone and his 5yr old daughter Maddy. As the novel goes on , we see Jane and Maddy start to bond and though her first impression of her boss Nico doesn't go too well with him nearly running her over , things start to slowly settle and we read as Jane develops feelings for Mr Rathbone. Though of course, Nico being a hollywood heartthrob , we see him go through his fairshare of girlfriends . The novel travels through Jane, Nico and Maddy's day-to-day life with Nico and Jane becoming so close that he asks her to marry him. However as we all know the story of Jane Eyre , Nico is hiding something and keeping secrets and it has to do with his previous marriages and the third floor of his mansion. When Jane discovers the truth, hurt she flees to create a new life and a new identity for herself. This turns the story of Jane Eyre into a Bit of A Cinderella Story as we discover that Nico is out searching for Jane. Will Jane realise in time or will it be months too late ? Is Jane Moore destined for a happy ever after with her Mr Rathbone ?
Find out in this awesome rendition of Jane Eyre, and it is by far one of the best renditions I have read.

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...
