Review: The Pretend Boyfriend - Artemis Hunt

Wanting a book in the style of a "New Adult" but written with an older audience in mind and bordering on the side of Erotica ?
 
Review: The Pretend Boyfriend - Book #1 Boyfriend Series - Artemis Hunt - October 2012
If you have been loving the "New Adult" category but wanting something with a bit more edge and spice then Artemis Hunt's series The Pretend Boyfriend is for you. With the same style of a New Adult combined with the taste of erotica , The Pretend Boyfriend was an enjoyable read. The only downside for me is that it was only about 80 pages and left me wanting more which of course the series has been split into four books - and reading like a serial. In Book #1 we meet Sam aka Samantha who for the life of her can never hold a relationship for too long so when she receives a phone call to her younger sister's engagement party , Sam makes up the lie she has a boyfriend. Brian Morton is the master playboy and rich kid , he has a different girl every night and has sex with whoever, whenever and wherever. When Brian and his best friend Caleb make a bet , it leaves Brian on the losing end and he has to succumb to being a women's slave for the weekend. The winner is whomever Caleb picks. It turns out he picks Sam - but Sam and Brian have a history as when they were in school Brian was the class bully and Sam was his target. Now the tables have turned , will Sam use this as her chance to get revenge or will the pair find themselves inevitably falling for each other.  The Pretend Boyfriend shows us that in the game of love - pretending can be a dangerous line to walk.  I look forward to reading the next three books in the Pretend Boyfriend Series.

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
