Magnate (Acquisition, #2)


Review: Magnate - Book #2 Acquisition Series - Celia Aaron - January 2016


One of my goals for 2021 was to try and finally read some of the books that I have had on my kindle for years and Magnate was one of those. Years ago, I read the first book and enjoyed it and got the rest of the series as Celia Aaron is a must-read author for me. For those who need a bit of a recap, our main female character was sold to the Vinemont’s and is their entry into the Acquisition games. Whichever family wins, ends up ruling all the families and being the most feared family until the next games. Stella was signed over to Sinclair but then saved by Lucius but now signed back over to Sinclair as he enters back into the games. The games are rough and tough on the body not to mention the soul and in the second trial which is seen to be worse than the first, there is a new family as participants - her ex-stepmother and stepbrother. Are they here to save her or do they have something worse up their sleeves? In this book, we learn more about Sinclair and also how the trial damaged their mother's mentality. The other thing was the cliffhanger ending that leaves you going OMFG and now she has to win or else and the readers hope to God that she isn't as heartless as the Vinemont’s or as greedy as the other participants who only care about themselves. I have to admit to this ending left me tearing up and now I am kind of nervous to read the last book.

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
