Review: The Good Luck Charm - Helena Hunting - August 2018

Being Quarantine time, I am trying to be good and clear a lot of the older books off my devices. I have only read one of Helena Hunting's in the past which was Meet Cute which I loved. I have to admit that I did struggle a bit with this book in terms of that it took me at least a couple of days to read and in part, I had to also persevere as I knew I wanted to finish it. I think for me, it was a very slow -burn romance which is something I am not used to reading as I like my romance like my book speeds - fast-paced and intense. I also found myself finding it difficult to connect to the main female lead Lilah aka DJ aka Delilah Jane - which made me think the last one of DJ from Full House. I get that her heart was broken from Ethan but she went and got married herself and then divorced. During that time, she could have contacted him at any point as the phone works two ways and they had a period of eight years away from each other. The pair reunite after eight years in the hospital as Ethan's father Martin has just had a massive stroke. Ethan is also back as he has been traded to the local Ice Hockey team. Is life-giving them a second chance to connect as the timing also coincides with the finalization of DJ's divorce from Avery. What will happen though when Ethan's life and DJ's end up taking once again different tracks and their time spent together interrupts their plans? I did love the twist at the ending with DJ's family and wished that we had gotten more of that storyline. Overall, The Good Luck Charm was a good read but if you aren't one for slow-burn romances and in this case - I mean SLOOWW then you might want to give this one a miss.

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...
