Nothing But Trouble (Irresistible Billionaires #1)

Review: Nothing But Trouble - Ashley Bostock - August 2018


I have to admit the cover of this book doesn't do it for me as the guy looks bored and arrogant, not at all as I imagined Michael to be as I read through the pages. What did draw me was the whole idea of a fake relationship or in this case a fake engagement and the concept of online dating. I love those sorts of stories and even better when they end like Cinderella fairytales. The other thing that I loved about Ashley Bostock's book that set her aside from the other romance writers who write this sort of story is that she had her character suffer a couple of tragic moments. The book starts with Billionaire and Matchmaking entrepreneur Michael V needing a date to the gala which happens to be on Valentines Day. More so now that he has discovered the woman who left him at the altar and broke his heart will be there. Michael sets up a fake profile and starts swiping until he finds someone who appears to be real and genuine. That someone is Sophia Baldwin. Sophia is living with her grandmother whom is sick and taking care of her as well as studying to be a nurse while she works as a stripper to help pay the bills and her nana's medication. Her passion though is Art which we later see as she begins to also volunteer at an Art shelter for kids. Sophia is trying her best to be something with the cards she has been dealt. Michael and Sophia meet and click, and one thing leads to another, and a fake engagement develops. Though of course, Michael has a vindictive ex Mia who sets out to sabotage their happiness. When Michael discovers the truth about Sophia will he see her as a gold-digger like the rest of the women he has been with or will he find out a deeper side of Sophia and the sweet, genuine woman she is ? 
Find out in Nothing But Trouble by Ashley Bostock.  Though the majority of this is a sweet romance, you may experience the need for eye-dabbing tissues.

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
