Stone Cold Queen (Sick Boys, #2)

Review: Stone Cold Queen - Book #2 Sick Boys Series - Lucy Smoke - January 2021

I enjoyed the first book in this series Pretty Little Savage and Stone Cold Queen was just as edgy where we saw Avalon trying to move on from the brokenness and damage that was caused to her by the drug dealer and we learn the aftermath of that incident. Avalon still isn't trusting the Sick Boys though as she knows that they are hiding things from her and Avalon isn't one to let people take care of her as she has always had to be the strong one and she doesn't know how to let people take care of her - it doesn't come naturally and then we learn she doesn't let people in as she has come to realize that they just disappoint her and leave her. I have to admit I was on the fence with this book as it still leaves me wanting more answers as to what is Avalon Manning to Dean's father and how is her mother involved? Especially too was how was her mother connected to wealthy and powerful people and why does she hate Avalon so much - there has to be a better reason than just the fact she is her daughter. Overall, I am not a fan of Dean but I do love Abe and Braxton as though they want Avalon - they have a more genuine caring feel to their characters in response to Avalon whereas Dean is all alpha male, take what I want no matter what. At the end of Stone Cold Queen, we did see Avalon sign on for another four years at Eastpoint and a brief interaction with Nicholas Carter - it felt like he was letting on more than he should and has me wondering who he is to Avalon. I am now looking forward to Book #3 as of course Stone Cold Queen ended on another cliffie and left me with more unanswered questions.

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
