Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating

Review: Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating - Christina Lauren - September 2018

Have you ever looked up to a guy and thought there is no way in hell you two could date as he's Mr. Perfect and you are well - yourself in all your eccentric glory. For Hazel, that guy was Korean Josh Im. He was an advisor in college and a few years above her. He was the perfect guy she wanted to date, but every time he was around she did crazy things - more than her usual self. The two though became friends in college and then went their separate ways. Now years later, Hazel is a school teacher and has just gotten a job teaching third-graders and has a new friend - fellow teacher Emily and her husband Dave - the school principal. Emily invites her to her house for a Summer BBQ to meet the other faculty where she will be teaching and Josh rocks up. Turns out that Josh is Emily's older brother. Small world right? The pair are reunited and just like in college, they become fast friends and the best of friends. Being both single, they try and set each other up on blind dates which they double and we read their hilarious antics until one particular date haves them drunk and having sex with each other. It's a one-time thing until a later blind date has Josh set Hazel up with none other than her one- long term relationship Tyler. The one guy who broke her heart and she still has feelings for. This relationship ends up on a total of three dates, where we read as Josh is going steady with Scarlett - the one Hazel set him up with. During this time though we see hints of does he love her or doesn't he with Josh and Hazel? Will this pair realize they are better off dating each other no matter how different they are? Has Hazel finally met the one person who isn't afraid of her eccentric personality and loves her for her whole self? I loved this part as my partner is the only person I have found that I can be my complete self around - quirks and all and he accepts them all and I know he will never feel embarrassed by me. These are the sort of relationships you want to be in as like Hazel's mother, I saw the same thing happen with my parents and it ended up tearing them apart. Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating was another fabulous romantic comedy by the awesome duo known as Christina Lauren.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
