Review: The Other Mistress - Shanora Williams - June 2023

I have to admit it's interesting to see that Taryn Fisher has commented on the book when you look at the main cover and her book "The Three Wives" is listed as after finishing this book it reminded me of two things - The movie "The Other Woman" mixed with Tarryn Fisher's book The Three Wives. Of course, though as most books have their twists and turns, as does The Other Mistress. The book starts with our main man Gabriel who is married to Adira Smith-Cortez when she believes her husband is cheating on her and so she sets off to catch him in the act. The thing is though she gets a surprise when he kisses another woman - not the one she knew about previously. Turns out Gabriel had a mistress already named Julianna and now he has a new one aka The Other Mistress called Jocelyn. On a whim, Adira messages Jocelyn, and the two meet face2face and strike up a friendship to get help to eliminate Julianna as Adira loves Gabriel and wants him for herself. As the book goes along, we have a history show up about one of our characters when she was a child and the abuse, she suffered with her sister Panda. I have to admit, I did not see this ending coming when all the characters true colours were revealed and that the villain turned out to be a good person and the victim was well - plain cray-cray yo. This was a great read and kept my attention and if you love family dramas, multiple lives, and romantic suspense with a bit of mental health chucked into the mix then The Other Mistress by Shanora Williams is the read for you. I am excited now to go back and read her earlier books The Wife Before and The Perfect Ruin.

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
