Beyond the Ivory Tower

Review: Beyond the Ivory Tower - Jill Blake - November 2015

When picking books to read , there are a few things that will make me want to immediately read them - the first is whether they feature Academia - if so then it's an immediate yes and the second is I do love romance stories and the tension/chemistry that sizzles. Beyond the Ivory Tower had both of that and more as the book starts out with the Female Lead Dr. Anna Lazarev who is a Doctor in Mathematics and our Male lead Ethan Talbot who has set up the Talbot Fund Scholarship - offering those who shine with potential to leave college and fund their start-up ideas. The book starts with Anna storming into Ethan's office as her sister Karla has gotten one of the scholarships and Anna - being her guardian is not happy that he is encouraging her to drop out of college. She is so angry about it , that she even blogs about the programme and the post goes Viral. Ethan intrigued strikes up a compromise which leads to Dinner and an amazing time together . The pair then go their separate ways, but now can't stop thinking about one another. Then of course we all know which way it leads - the sizzling romance and chemistry. I loved this part taking place in San Francisco as it reminded me of the time I was there for my holiday and I was like I've been there and could imagine Anna and Ethan walking along Fisherman's Wharf , seeing Lombard Street and riding the Cable Car. Then a suprising twist comes out with a School shooting in Anna's department - this was one of my favourite twists as I love in a non-creepy weird way - stories about school shootings. Will Anna survive and get her HEA with Ethan and discover the truth of what is hidden "Beyond the Ivory Tower" or will their happiness and desire to peek behind and see above, be cut short ?

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
