Review: The Deal - Book #1 Off-Campus Series - Elle Kennedy - February 2015

This author has been one of those that I have been meaning to read for years, and I have finally got around to reading her first book in the Off-Campus series. I belong on Instagram to a Book Birthday Group where the participants buy you a book gift on your birthday and seeing as I was in July, last month was my turn and I got some gorgeous books including Elle Kennedy's The Deal. It has been a while too since I read a college romance that wasn't a reverse harem style or bullymance. The Deal transported back to a world when I loved reading books with the Cinderella twist where a plain girl who is beautiful in her way can get the jock's attention and be pursued by the guy even though they aren't normally the ones the jocks etc normally go for. Hannah is studying at Briar University and one of her classes is Ethics. It has a new professor who is making it challenging for those who thought this was an Easy A. One of those is jock Garrett, when he sees Hannah's grade and sees she is not only smart but beautiful, he asks her to tutor him. Hannah isn't like the other girls he has met though, as she doesn't fawn over him and is impressed with his family's status and power. If Garrett wants Hannah as his tutor, he is going to have to up his game and discover how he can make a trade - enter the football star she has a crush on. Garrett will help her make him jealous, if she tutors him. They make a deal hence the title and of course, you can guess the rest of the book and where this is going to end, as yes it's one of those HEA stories.
Reading The Deal, by Elle Kennedy reminded me of why I fell in love with these types of stories as it is one of those early published titles before the world of "self-publishing" saturated everything and reminded me of authors like Abbi Glines, Molly McAdams and Tammara Webber and even Jamie McGuire's NA reads. I am now looking forward to reading more of this series and Elle Kennedy's other titles.

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
