Stolen Soulmate (Crowne Point #2)

Review: Stolen Soulmate - Book #2 Crowne Point Series - Mary Catherine Gebhard - February 2020
Story Hale loved her job and excelled at being invisible, that was until one day by mistake she is pulled into a world that she never wanted to be part of. A world she had tried so hard to stay away from. A world where she knew she would never be accepted as she wasn't of their upper-class status. Story Hale was a servant girl, a maid and Grayson Crowne was the Prince. When I started reading this book, I have to admit I was a little confused as I had a feeling it was set in modern times but a few parts of the book read like a historical fiction and I remember telling my friend Rach, that I didn't know what time period the book was set in as it felt too ambiguous. Turns out it was modern times but in the world of extreme wealth and control. The rule is that a servant should never look the Crownes in the eyes, they should know their place in this world. The book starts with Story on her way to Abigail's room, when she is pulled into a dark room and kissed. It is later discovered she was kissed by Grayson and the person who he thought he was kissing was his girlfriend Charlotte Du Lac - another wealthy family.  Stuck between losing her job and being able to never see her uncle, Story accepts a deal with Grayson and she becomes his "pet" of sorts. The thing though is that we see the chemistry and a forbidden romance of sorts begin and a strong love/hate relationship as the pair are torn between their hearts and their heads and what they should be doing in terms of responsibilities. Being the male of the family, Grayson is set to marry Charlotte as part of a merger and to boost their connections and wealth but he finds his heart with Story despite how much he tries to deny it.  Story has morals and will not become a mistress and second-best - a secret to hideaway. Will Grayson go through his marriage to Charlotte or will he say F- responsibilities and follow his heart? Stolen Soulmate does tug at your heartstrings as you sympathize and connect with Story Hale. Stolen Soulmate also ends on a cliffhanger and I am now looking forward to reading Book #3 and going back and reading Book #1 Heartless Hero.

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
