Pieces of Olivia (Charleston Haven, #1)

Review: Pieces of Olivia - Book #1 Charleston Haven Series - Melissa West - July 2014

Scrolling through my kindle, I was in the mood to read something edgier and I came across Pieces of Olivia, a book that has been sitting on my kindle waiting patiently to be read for years. Olivia is starting university at Charleston instead of Columbia like she had planned for years and her parents expected her to. She had the plan to study law, but now is studying English. Her life all changed when in her high school summer before college, she was with friends partying and there was an accident. She survived, but her friends weren't so lucky. Now Olivia is trying to move on with her life, but suffering from survivor's guilt. When Olivia gets to college, she meets her roommate Kara and the two of them connect straightaway. Of course, with Kara comes Preston Riggs - Kara's best friend who has some baggage of his own. Not Olivia level, but enough to make him not want to date anyone seriously and change his major to Medicine. Will Preston help Olivia open up with Kara's help and her new therapist Rose who I loved helping her to learn to live life again and not be ashamed of her scars? Pieces of Olivia had some trigger moments and ups and downs, but I really liked it and I am not looking forward to reading Kara's story which is Book #2, and hoping it doesn't involve cheating as looks like a love triangle might be involved and one that goes a step further into possible cheating territory unlike the one in this book between Olivia, Taylor, and Preston.

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
