Review: Won't Last Long - Heidi Joy Tretheway - July 2013

Love and Family can be a funny thing as no matter what happens you can try and choose both but it doesn't always work out that way. Won't Last Long by Heidi Joy Tretheway introduces us to Josh and Melina. Josh has shifted around all his life and is the only one in his family actually making something out of himself, after breaking up with his longtime girlfriend Josh finally wants to be himself and create a life for himself. So he rents his own apartment and gets a dog and soon a girlfriend follows. Melina has never experienced true love and is on her way up in the world of advertising and comes from a family where whatever she does is never good enough. Melina has a list of rules when dating and has never broken them until now - when she meets Josh. The pair of them despite comments on both sides saying that they "won't last long" and family obstacles, the pair proves everyone wrong and eventually they get married. This was a sad part in the book as it showed that none of them really had anyone but themselves, however after their marriage - things start to go from little to rocky arguments and fast as lies are uncovered and tragedies strike and accidents occur. Is this pair doomed and their relationship built not too last or will Josh and Melina show everyone that no matter what others out there say , that their love is not jinxed and will last the distance. Readers , compared to other books in this type of genre, Won't Last Long is a long and lenghty read but it is worth it to keep persevering as I couldn't put it down even though at times the length was daunting and I wanted to.

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...
