Hollywood Honkytonk (Kings of California, #2)

Review: Hollywood Honkytonk - Book #2 Kings of California Series - Mia Hopkins - January 2017
You know how often book titles can be a little deceiving? That's what I found about this book as I was expecting with a title called Hollywood Honkytonk that we would have a Country Music themed romance set in Hollywood or find a Hollywood star in the heart of Nashville. Though Hollywood Honkytonk does have a Hollywood Heartthrob and a Music teacher/singer who does have an affinity for the country music. Ten years ago, best friends Riley and Jack were graduating high school and getting ready for their lives. Jack was headed out of their small town of Oleander and asked Riley to come with him. She turned down him as the timing just wasn't right. I had wondered here if she was pregnant as sometimes that could give a good twist to the story. Turns out, though, it was another guy - a jerk too Tommy Blake. Riley ended up married to Tommy, and they had an unhealthy marriage which now ten years later has ended in a divorce and Riley trying to hide from Tommy as he can't take NO for an answer. Riley ends up in LA and gets a job working for a school as their new Music Teacher. The school has ties to both Jack and Riley. Jack is now a big Hollywood star and seeing Riley again has sparked his schoolboy crush and love for Riley. This time he won't let her get away that easily, but can Riley handle the Hollywood Viper nests that come with Jack's life? Or will she find herself doubting herself that she will be the right person for Jack's Hollywood life? Will Riley get the encouragement needed to finally go after her dreams and become the next Hollywood Honkytonk or will her music talents be restricted to the classroom?
Find out in Mia Hopkin's new book in the Kings of California series "Hollywood Honkytonk."

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
