The Downside of Love (Blue Line Duet, #2)


Review: The Downside of Love - Book #2 The Blue Line Duet - Meghan Quinn- June 2018
I have to admit I enjoyed the first book and the way it finished; I was like NOOOOO how could Stryder and Rory do that to Colby. I loved the character of Colby. Seeing Stryder and Rory together at the end of Book #1 made me expect more of Book #2. I was hoping it would be like a continuation of the story and that something major had happened for Stryder and Rory to fall in love and hurt Colby in the process, but nope. I was disappointed, and I have to admit I love Colby and I liked Rory in the first book but reading the second book made me hate Stryder even more, and Rory went to the dark side. This book goes back to the first meeting with Rory and her friend, remember the party. It turns out that Stryder had the hots for Rory too, but of course let Colby go for it as he had never seen him that happy.  The thing is once Colby gets his dream and poor Stryder is a failure, he swoops in on Rory and takes her for himself - who cares about his friend who is living his hard-earned dream. The other thing that annoyed me was the fact that Rory acts like this freaking saint - Boo hoo, I'm giving up my life to stay home close to my brother Bryan who has autism. I'm going to let the guy I love to going to the airforce, and when he writes, I will stop answering them and then date his best friend, but not tell him a single word. I'll let him find out at the funeral of the one person who cared and loved him so much. What a biarch. He's just lost the one person he cared for, and now you are going to rub it in his face that he lost you too and that you couldn't wait to jump his best friend's bones. You didn't even have the decency to let him know you wanted his friend. Stop acting so naive and innocent and a nice girl, Rory because you are not a nice person.  I read this book hoping it would have a better explanation to why Rory and Stryder ended up, but as I read on it kept making me angry and hating the characters of Rory and Stryder more.

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...
