Carnal Pledge

Review: Carnal Pledge - Vixen Kane - December 2019

Taking a break from my mystery buzz was another flip through the kindle to see what jumped out at me to give a read and I came across Carnal Pledge. I didn't know what to expect just that I had gotten it as it was a bullymance story set in a college environment. With a title like this, I didn't expect much to be honest but I do have to say it did surprise me as this book had a tiny bit of depth to the story and also reminded me quite a bit of one of my favorite 90's films She's All That with Freddie Prinze Jnr and Rachel Leigh Cook. Like in that movie, Seth is in a frat and he is challenged to make Valerie aka Val to say "I Love You" before the end of the year. If Seth wins, then he will be next year's Frat President. Normally it would be an easy task but Val and Seth have history and it's not very nice as Seth hated with good reason we learn Val's now ex-boyfriend and so decided to torment Val since she was dating him and he made her life hell. The other reason that this isn't going to be easy, is that Val has just gotten a job being his sister Sarah who is autistic - her companion. Can Seth prove to Val that he has fallen head over heels for her and she is more than just a silly bet? Carnal Pledge was very much reminiscent of a lot of the late '90s/ early 2000's teen movies which brought back a lot of memories as this was my era of movies and a lot of my all-time favorites are in this category.

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
