Beautiful, Dirty, Rich (Blood and Diamonds #1)

Review; Beautiful, Dirty, Rich - Book #1 Blood and Diamonds - L.A Sable - June 2019
I have to say I have been enjoying this new trope of bully romances aka Bullymances. The downside though is that some feel like the same thing which I do get as it is hard to be original when there is a trope doing the rounds and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of publishing a book within that trope. In saying that I found myself enjoying Beautiful, Dirty, Rich as it was one of the better Bullymances I have read. The book starts off with Lily and her mother living in the Bronx and then her mother Trish getting married to a 65 yr old wealthy man named Connor. This means that Lily is moving into Connor's mansion and starting her new school year at the exclusive boarding school Black Lake Prep. When she arrives, though she learns that all is not what it seems with the school as she is sent an article from "a concerned citizen" about a girl who drowned and the case has been covered up as an accident. Lily believes there is more to the story and soon she finds herself in the midst as a target for the school's Inner circle - the Diamonds which includes Asher ( Connor's grandson), Kai and Lukas, Chloe- Lukas's girlfriend and Jayden. Lily doesn't know where she stands with these guys as sometimes they are friendly to her and other times they treat her like garbage. She did have a brief ally in a teacher, but Chloe puts an end to that. I really hated Chloe's character - there's always one bad girl who I hope by the end of the series will be put in her place once and for all. Like most of the books, this does end in a cliffhanger and I was like Noooo!! , but I do hope the next book goes more into the mystery and story of Kyra - the girl who drowned and hopefully Lily who from the Bronx ain't backing down too easy without a fight.

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...
