Lucy (The Dimarco Series, #1)

Review: Lucy - Book #1 DiMarco Series - Jennifer Hanks - March 2016

Lucy has always been close to her best friend Ben DiMarco but there has never been a relationship to speak of as they formed a stronger bond when Ben helped save Lucy from a dangerous assault while at university. Now one of Ben's brothers is getting married and Lucy has been talked into by Ben to come as and meet his family and pretend to be his girlfriend as Ben changes girlfriends like socks and doesn't want his mum setting him up with anyone. Of course, Lucy agreed but that was before she got to know the DiMarco family and Ben's brothers and sister.  Lucy who comes from an estranged family unit has never experienced so much love like the DiMarco Clan. Soon Lucy finds herself caught up in their family and their love. She has also caught the eyes of Ben's older brother Christian DiMarco, of course, he is quiet and intense and won't touch Lucy as he believes she is Ben's and is following the Brother code. What happens though when Christian finds out about the truth behind Ben and Lucy and their fake romance? Will he claim what is his? Lucy, on the other hand, is strong and independent, what will happen when a dangerous man from her past ends up stalking her and lands her in the hospital and aims to hurt the people around her? Will this be a short-lived romance between Christian and Lucy or will he fight for what he wants despite Lucy's protests? Lucy also ends on a cliffhanger and makes way for Book #2 Sydney.  I wasn't sure what to expect with this series but really found myself loving the strong family sense and love that radiated through the DiMarco family and felt like I wanted to be a part of that particular family.

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
