Twelfth Knight (Shelfbrooke Academy, #1)

Review: Twelfth Knight - Book #1 Shelfbrooke Academy Series - Jessica Bucher - April 2019
One of my favorite tropes to read is renditions of classics and fairytales as well as boarding school novels. Twelfth Knight is based loosely on the play by William Shakespeare of Viola and her twin brother Sebastian.  The twins have managed to get a scholarship to the prestigious Shelfbrooke Academy. Sebastian for his Rugby and Violet for her academics. When she arrives though, she learns that they gave away her room instead of her brothers and now she must have a single in the boy's dorm thanks to a hunky rugby player - Owen Duke. Duke has just split up from his girlfriend Lily Thorn, though he wants her back badly. As the book goes on, Viola as Sebastian starts chatting to both Owen and Lily and Lily starts to fall head over heels for Sebastian as Violet is for Owen. The thing, however, Owen hasn't moved on from Lily and just sees Violet as a friend and she is heartbroken. What will happen though when her brother returns to Shelfbrooke Academy and the truth of what Violet has done is unraveled and revealed? Will Violet lose not only her new best friend Lily but also Owen - the guy she has fallen in love with.
Find out in Twelfth Knight - the first book in the Shelfbrooke Academy series by Jessica Bucher and stay tuned for the rest of the series to come. Each book in this series has reimagined a classic story.

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
