Courted (Gowns & Crowns, #1)

Review: Courted - Book #1 Gowns and Crowns Series - Jennifer Chance - October 2015
Emmaline or Emma to her close friends is headed on a much-needed vacation with her close group of girlfriends to a small European country of Garronia. A while ago Emma had to give up her dream of pursuing her classical music as her parents had an accident, and her mum was left for the worst and is no longer the brilliant professor she was. Out at the beach with her friends, Emma decides to go swimming and usually a confident swimmer is pulled under by a rip as she is not used to their strong currents. Running along the beach was our male lead Christos - he spots Emma and dives in and saves her. This whole event was snapped up by the paparazzi as Christos is hiding a secret. He isn't just an ordinary bystander - he is a Prince, and he is heir to the throne as his older brother recently passed. Christos, however, doesn't want the responsibility and would instead be serving the country in other ways. For Emma and her friends, though they are about to be swept up in a world of the rich and famous as now that the paparazzi have discovered their names and even more so that they are Americans and Emma has captured the Prince's attention - they aren't in the mood to back off right this instant. When the fairytale romance is due to end and Emma is to head back home, is she ready to say goodbye to this fantasy to face the reality of her parent's or is this to become her new reality? 
Find out in this cutesy YA/NA case of a true Cinderella Story Romance, one of my favorite tropes.

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...
