So Today on The Phantom Paragrapher, we take a walk down to the beginning with Book #1

Review: The Opportunist - Book #1 Love Me With Lies Series - Tarryn Fisher - November 2011
Three years ago, Olivia had everything and life was starting to look up for her until she lost it all as that's what she did when things got too close to her, she pushed them away. Three years ago, she lost the one person she loved most in the world - Caleb Drake. Three long years, she has wondered what she would say to him if she got the opportunity and now she has come face to face with him in a local Music shop. The thing is though that Caleb has no recollection of who she is as he suffered a bad accident and has amnesia. As the pair re-ignite a friendship, we start to wonder whether Olivia has been given a second chance with Caleb? What happens though when Caleb's current girlfriend and soon to be fiancee we discover is the one Caleb left Olivia for ? As the novel goes along, we read as their friendship starts blooming and then wham-bam the opportunity is missed and the pair go their separate ways until four years later and Caleb and his now-wife Leah turn up at Olivia's law firm wanting Olivia to represent Leah. Can Olivia represent someone she hates ? Can Olivia represent the one person who has everything she ever wanted ? Is the representation , Olivia's chance to finally move on and meet someone else other than Caleb ? 
The Opportunist was a novel that struck close to my heart as it really re-inforced the idea that no matter how hard you try - you will never be able to get over your first real love and if you miss the opportunity to be happy with them , then out there - there might not be "the One" but there will be "Mr Right-now".

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 - 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 - 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
