Don't Go Stealing My Heart

Review: Don't Go Stealing My Heart - Kelly Siskind - April 2020

This book isn't something that I would normally read but I was captivated by the fact that it contained an art heist and con artists and the main character Clementine seemed like a quirky character. Clementine was raised in foster care until she was 14 years after her parents died by Lucian. He reminded me of a Fagan type character from Oliver Twist and Clementine the Oliver Twist character. Clementine's latest target is Maxwell David and she has been tasked to steal his Van Gogh painting. The comedy aspect starts pretty early in the novel as the town is called WhichWay and we have Whatnot and Whynot etc. On Clementine's way to the town, she meets a stranger on the side of the road and they hit it off with a banter. Next few days it turns out that the guy that Clementine met happens to be her target and now Clementine must play everything by ear.  Don't Go Stealing My Heart has Clementine falling in love with Maxwell who is just as awkward as she is and I loved the fact that they both owned bearded dragons named after I Love Lucy Characters. Overall the main characters in this book were my type of characters as they were kick-arse especially Clementine but a bit quirky. What happens though when Clementine starts to fall in love with her mark and then when she tries to stop the job, she is faced with her arch-enemy and learns that not all is what it seems. If you are looking for a quirky romantic comedy with a bit of adventure and action then check out Kelly Siskind's latest read - Don't Go Stealing My Heart.

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
