Review: Love Match - Book #2 The Academy Series - Monica Seles - February 2014 

Maya Hart has had an interesting first year at The Academy capturing the attention of not only the mean girl Nicole Ryan but also the hearts of brothers Travis and Jake Reed whose father Nails Reed is the Headmaster of The Academy. However, though the chemistry is present with both brothers , she only really has love for one - the bad boy Jake Reed. Can Maya prove to Jake, that she wants him not Travis ? Maya has also been entered in a tennis tournament and gets the chance of a lifetime to play against a star - though she loses but the game is tight and becomes the longest playing game in history - Maya finds herself in the spotlight , with an agent and the perks of being a star. Is it too much for Maya to handle or will she be able to find her place amongst the best and brightest ?  Meanwhile, Maya's roommate Cleo is on the victim end of a nasty blogger named Grant Adams who somehow thinks because of Cleo's dress sense and the fact she is the world's best golf player that she is upending everything golf stands for. Can Cleo get her revenge or will she have to sharpen up her act and change her image just as Daphne did on the movie "What a Girl Wants". Renee has been a bit of a slapper and never felt really in love, but what happens when she falls for scholarship student Diego and she finds herself failing to impress as all she knows is a world of money and riches ? Can Diego show her that having money isn't all it is cracked up to be and that sometimes you don't have to have money to have a good time.
 Find out in this awesome series, that I am looking forward to reading Book #3 if or when it's released. 
 The Academy  series are  great reads for all those who love Boarding School Novels and have an interest in relationships, friendship dynamics and sport.

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...
