Review: Tempting Taste - Book #1 Cinnamon Roll Alphas - Sara Whitney - February 2020

Lately, I had been in a bit of a bookish slump where everything I keep trying is just not grabbing me at all. Scrolling through my kindle, this book looked fun with its bright cover and seemed like something that would hit the spot. As I started it, I was into it with our bright fiery red-headed character Josie standing up for poor souls on the train and then our Viking-like male Erik. What I loved about this book was that it had a role reversal where the female was a marketing executive/ businesswoman and the guy despite his stereotypical looks and body shape and the fact he was a farm boy/ football player - loved to bake cakes and was darn good at what he did. Josie meets Erik on the train initially but their second encounter is when the sparks fly as Erik is baking for Dora who is as prejudiced and racist as they come which causes Erik to quit and then be without a job. This turns into a blessing in disguise as Josie will pool her resources and skills and help Erik develop his dream of owning a bakery. What will happen though when the lines of business partners /friends start to cross into romantic feelings? Can these two who are so used to pushing people away overcome their past rejections and work together? I found these characters reminded me of Penny Reid's Cletus and Jenn, except if Cletus had been the Baker, not Jennifer.  If you love cake, baking, and romantic comedy and want a fun, light read with a hint of M/M as Josie's gay best friends get married in the book which is a secondary storyline that runs through the whole book - then Tempting Taste by Sara Whitney is the delicious scrummy read for you.

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...
