Baking Me Crazy (Donner Bakery, #1)

Review: Baking Me Crazy - Book #1 Donner Bakery - Karla Sorensen - October 2019

I have been looking very forward to reading the books released from Smartypants Romance as it meant that we could go back into the heart of Green Valley where the Winston Brothers series was set and be reunited in the background with some of our favorite loved characters. In Baking Me Crazy by Karla Sorensen, we meet the Buchanan family and in particular the youngest son Levi. The men in his family have a curse when they meet "the one" they will know and never be able to love fully again as they are devoted to that one person. Sometimes it works out and sometimes sadly it doesn't. For Levi, his "one" happens to be his new best friend Jocelyn Abernathy aka Joss. He first met her five years ago when she arrived in town to live with her mother in their grandmother's old house. Back then, she wasn't ready to date as she was just getting used to her life in a wheelchair and she needed a friend. Levi took what he could and became her friend. Fast forward five years and he is still in the friend zone hoping she might develop date feelings for him.  Joss has just got her first job working at Donner Bakery which is owned by Jennifer Winston aka Cletus's Wife. Here she meets a customer and her new PT Andy and starts to develop feelings for him. Has Levi missed his chance or will this now make him up his ante as he tries to win Joss over to his side? This was a cutesy romance story except I have to admit, I did get a bit annoyed with how much Joy gushed over Cletus. It's like we get it, you have a crush on him but he's married and loves Jennifer, so move on and find someone else.  I did feel for Levi's older brother Hunter too and hope he can eventually man-up and leave Samantha as everyone deserves to be happy in love.  I am now looking forward to reading the rest of the Smartypants Romance books that are published and released and I look forward to more Green Valley adventures.

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...
