Hidden Gem: Prologue (The Diamond Trilogy, #0.5)

Review: Hidden Gem - #Book 0 - The Diamond Trilogy  - Skye Warren - June 2020

I have to admit I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did but I was sad to see it finish quickly though I knew going into the book, that it would be a quick read as it was only really there to set the premise of the book The Diamond in the Rough. In Hidden Gem, we meet Holly who comes from a family of travelers and history buffs. Her family including her sister London would rather be traipsing through the historical sites whereas Holly would prefer to stay indoors in museums and appreciate art or read about adventures. She is an introvert who loves books and is a bit of a geeky character. I loved Holly as I felt connected with her as she sounded similar to myself. In Hidden Gem, Holly meets Eli while staring at the Mona Lisa. She believes he likes her which in one way is still a shock as normally guys go for her sister London. The pair will share a fast but passionate whirlwind couple of days that is until Holly learns the real reason that Eli wanted her. What will happen when Holly discovers the truth? What has she gotten herself into?
Find out in Hidden Gem by Skye Warren. I am now looking forward to reading Diamond in the Rough by Skye Warren as Hidden Gem has gotten me all excited for the book which means that Hidden Gem did it's job well as a Prologue to the series.

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
