Review: If Only You - Book #6 Bergman Brother/Sisters Novel - Chloe Liese - April 2023

If there is one author who I always find represents the disability sector in such an amazing light, it is Chloe Liese. This author does an amazing job as she often writes one of her characters with a disability or illness and you just can't help but fall for that character and feel what they are going through. As someone who grew up in a family where Autism is a genetic trait as my mum had it, my grandad had it and now my two siblings have it as well as my two nephews. I have never been diagnosed but growing up with it being quite a strong link, I definitely can say that I have a few minor traits of being one of the neurodivergent. I have found it awkward to make friends and connect with people which is why I have lots of acquaintances but very few close friends. I also can't handle loud noises and I am not a driver myself as I feel overwhelmed and get very anxious with everything happening. Back to this book, in If Only You we meet Ziggy- the youngest sibling of the Bergman Clan. She is also a professional soccer player and sportswoman, just like the rest of her family - sports are prominent. She is sick though of being treated like she is fragile and can't handle the adult world. Enter Sebastian aka Seb, he is a hockey player and on the same team as Ziggy's brother Ryland and Seb is also Ryland's best friend. Seb has a bad reputation and the rest of the world views that he is beyond saving, that is except the Bergman clan. Ziggy proposes a plan to Seb - He will help her show the world she is an adult and put herself out there and in turn, she will help him repair his public view and in doing show she will show him that nobody is beyond saving. Like Chloe's previous books, If Only You is not on a sweet romance but it also has its LOL moments and will send readers on a rollercoaster ride of emotions with its ups and downs.  If you love what I call Geek Chic Lit and disability representation with the bonus of a family saga and a book where you can feel the character's genuineness bursting from the pages. Then If Only You by Chloe Liese is the book for you and even better, though this is part of a series - you can read it as a standalone and go back and check out the rest of the series.  I am now excited to go back and read her other books that I have missed.

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
