50 reasons why I love Paris! – how to survive in paris

Heathens (Heathens, #1)

Review: Heathens - Book #1 Heathens Series - Amanda Richardson - September 2017

Needing a dark romance to sink your teeth into? Lately, I have been stuck in a bit of a reading rut. I am finding it hard to get into books and find time to sit and read a book and get hooked on the story. I figured reading a dark romance would hook me. This book started with Evelyn whom we can see is a sex worker. Then the book jumps to Lilith aka Lily and we discover that years ago she and Evelyn (her best friend) were traveling and that they were kidnapped and trafficked. Lilith managed to escape but had to leave her friend Evelyn behind but to this day has not stopped searching for her. Evelyn is also a fighter and dreams of the day she can finally escape; she just has to find the right timing. Enter Salem Tempest - he had lost his path a few years ago and was headed on a downward spiral but the Catholic Church saved him and he decided to enrol in a seminary school and train to become a priest. That was until he meets Lilith and he is captivated by her and wants to know her as he is drawn to her. The story will travel down their paths of Salem being tempted and having to face the hard choices of doing what he believes in and reconsidering whether priesthood is his journey? Can Lilith find her friend before it's too late and which path will Salem choose to go down when he is faced with the hardest choice of his life? Heathens was a slow book to start off but as the story got deeper and twisted, I hoped Lilith would find Evelyn and be reunited before it's too late and she is lost forever in a world of trafficked girls.  I am now looking forward to reading Book #2 which will be Evelyn's story.

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...
