The Heir and the Spare

Review: The Heir and the Spare - Emily Albright - January 2016

One of my favorite tropes to read about is Plain Janes's discovering that they are part of royalty or the elites and/or falling in love with royalty. This book had both of those and a clean YA romance too which was nice to read. The book starts with Evie heading to Oxford University - her mum's alma mater and getting ready to go on a quest that her mother has set for her. Evie's mum died when she was six years old of cancer and each year on her birthday, she received a letter from her mother. I loved this part too as part of me wishes my Mum had done this when she got ill as all I have is memories which slowly fade. On the day of her graduation, the letters changed and became more adventurous. Soon Evie is at Oxford University where she is about to meet a group of new friends that includes the Prince of England along her journey, she is about to learn of her royal lineage as she learns about a young woman who years ago was disowned by the Duchess of Westminster when she decided to marry and elope with a commoner and an American nonetheless instead of another British royal member. The Heir and the Spare was a cutesy clean read and a nice change of pace for me as lately, I had been reading thrillers as I had moved away from romances as all the romances seem to be filled with sex, and sometimes it just gets a bit too much. This book is perfect for fans of Emma Chase's Royally series and those who love movies like What a Girl Wants and The Princess Diaries.

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
