Review: Wildflowers - Dorothy Koomson - August 2018

I didn't realize when I grabbed this book from the Libby App that it was a short story/novella from the collection book "I am Heathcliff", all I knew was that it was a story from Dorothy Koomson I hadn't read. She is one of my favorite UK authors whose books are chick lit/ romantic suspense Women's fiction tales. This book was a quick read and is a tale inspired by Wuthering Heights. In Wildflowers, the story starts with Zillah opening her door to a madwoman wielding a knife and wanting to kill Zillah. The woman is her lost love's mother, a family that Zillah has not had any contact with for ten years when she did what she thought was the right thing for the guy she loved. It turns out that her loved one's grandfather has finally passed and has left everything to Zillah and now her loved ones' parents are not only penniless but also homeless as Zillah owns everything. During the story, we go back ten years ago when Zillah met her love and then how they got to today. The other thing of course besides the karma that everyone got good and bad was the fact this was one of those true love soulmate second chance stories that always warm my heart. I am now looking forward to reading the full collection  I am Heathcliff edited by Kate Mosse.

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
