The Morning After 

Review: The Morning After - Jamie Lynn Boothe and Erin Lee - May 2017
When Alyssa was younger, she dreamed of fairytale romances and loving her husband till death do us part. That was until one day; she realized that love like that didn't exist and instead her relationship was lived in fear. Alyssa's husband Daniel is an abuser and has isolated Alyssa so much from the world; she has nowhere to go. After the last incident, Alyssa doesn't know how long she can take it as she always wakes up thinking this could be her last day alive as every day Daniel comes home drunk and beats her. On a whim Alyssa decides today is the day and catches the bus to Boulder, Colorado. Here she stays at a women's shelter and eventually gets a job as a waitress which leads her to rent a room from an elderly couple and loving at that Mandy and Bill. Soon Alyssa starts to open up and feels she is safe and even dreams as she meets their son Randall, that she may be able actually to have a fairytale love after all. That is until we learn and she discovers that her ex Daniel has been searching for her and won't rest until he gets her back. Can Alyssa be rid of her ex-husband once and for all or will Daniel find Alyssa and her life be over? Find out in this edgy read that touches on Domestic Violence, Cheating and abuse - The Morning After by Erin Lee and Jamie Lynn Boothe. This book spoke to me, as I watched not as bad as this but growing up my father treat my mother horribly and I never realized how much it affected me until I moved out of home and certain things I will ask permission for and my partner is like you don't have to ask - you can help yourself.

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.

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.

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...
