Review: Roomies - Lindy Zart - November 2014

I had been struggling with what to read and came across Roomies on my Kindle and knowing my love of roommate romances. I decided to give this one a read. I am not sure if it's the slump I was trying to get myself out of or not, but I found Roomies by Lindy Zart a little hard going, and a tad too slow paced for my liking. Roomies start off with two friends and roommates Kennedy and Graham aka Ken and Barbie. They are the best of friends, and you can tell that there are a love blossoming and chemistry, but neither are ready to accept it. They are standing in that zone of I love you but don't want to lose you as a friend if we break up. That is until Blake shows up and throws a spanner into the mix. Blake is Graham's half-brother and a bit of a rebel. Blake finds himself attracted to Kennedy and started putting his moves on her. As Blake starts to fall for Kennedy, Graham starts to realize his feelings for Kennedy. However, if he doesn't act fast enough, he may just lose out to Blake. Roomies by Lindy Zart had a love triangle angle to the story and family dysfunctions. I have to admit, this one frustrated me too in the sense that neither fully acknowledged their feelings for one another and then got all shirty when someone else moved in and took the initiative. It's like Buck up, man and grow some balls. Be a Man and tell her how you feel. Roomies by Lindy Zart for me was more aimed towards the 16-18+  bracket rather than the older New Adult audience, however as they are in college - I have placed it as an NA romance.

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...
