Hooked: A love story of criminal proportions


Review: Hooked - Karla Sorensen and Whitney Barbetti - August 2017



Going into this story, I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to get, but when I saw that it was written by Karla Sorensen and Whitney Barbetti ( mainly Whitney), I knew that I wanted to read it. I have to admit it was an excellent ride and more than I could ever imagine it would take me on. The book starts at a therapy session where Lucy Connors attends as part of her parole and X who suffers from a few things - anxiety being one of them. Lucy has a dilemma as she owes her old drug dealer money and needs it fast. At her therapy session, she gives X a once over and decides he can be her new mark as he's Richie rich. Putting her cat burglar skills to the test, she breaks into X's house and is almost caught but uses her sexual wiles to get out of it. Lucy did get away with something priceless to X - his grandfather's watch. He wants it back and arrives at Lucy's place, only to see her drug dealer there. One thing leads to another, and they end up with a dead body. Of course, none of them can go to prison, so where does one put a dead body. In the basement freezer of X's house. X's mother discovers the body and things look like they are about to blow up but she proves to be very resourceful as well. Will X and Lucy get away with murder and all the other mayhem that comes with it? Find out in Hooked: A Love Story of Criminal Proportions. Hooked had everything from romance, murder and romantic comedy with lots of laughs especially the interactions between Lucy, X and X's Mother.  Hooked is a 2017 book that everyone should add to this year's reading lists.

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
