The Foxe & the Hound

Review: The Foxe and the Hound - R.S Grey - June 2017
I had been in two minds when I started this book as I do like R.S Grey and hadn't read one in a while and I was scrolling through my Ipad looking for something to read. I started it and was enjoying it, but halfway through the characters started to annoy me so much. In this book, we have Maddy Thatcher aka Madeline who works in real estate and is in her twenties and is a dog version of a cat lady. She also happens to be such an awkward character, at times I just wanted to shake her. In the book, they have put her in real estate, yet she doesn't scream like a salesperson. The male lead is Adam Foxe, a new vet who has moved to town to escape of course a horrible relationship. The pair meet when Maddy's dog bowls Adam over. Then later, when she takes him to visit the Vet. Then at her brother's house for dinner. Wherever Maddy goes, Adam is there either in person or being talked about. When her job is on the line, she is desperate and when Adam needs a fake date - they come to a proposition - be his fake date, and she can sell him a house. The pair does this and of course, like most romance stories - the lines start to blur. I usually don't mind it, but in this case - the character of Maddy is so freaking dense - it's like HELLO, he likes you - wake up and smell the coffee. Adam, on the other hand, needs to grow some balls and tell her how he feels and stops playing with her emotions with this - I like you, but I can't move on to a real relationship as I just broke up with Olivia and blah blah blah. Be a man Adam and be with the one you love and then when Olivia does come back, she introduces herself as Adam's fiancee, and he doesn't correct her, and of course, it's right in front of Maddy.  Puh-lease Adam - BE A MAN.  If you are looking for a fun romantic comedy, then, of course, R.S Grey hits the spot but wanted something where the characters don't annoy the heck out of you, then be wary when reading The Foxe and the Hound.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
