Review: Bound to Happen - Jonathon Shannon - August 2023

This book caught my attention with the whole idea of missed connections and soulmates and then the geeky storyline of our main characters. But wowza this was such an amazing read and if you ever had any doubts that guys cannot write romance, then you need to stop what you are doing and read Bound to Happen as this is a testament to guys being able to write romantic love stories but not soppy ones. This hit all the right spots for me, especially in the fact that it is a slow-burn romance right up to the very last page normally I cannot stand slow-burn romances as they seem to drag on and on but this one just worked perfectly and it needed to be a slow burn for the story to play out. The book starts with Sophie who is a astrophysicist like Raj from the Big Bang Theory and dreams of working for NASA as she's all about space and string theory. Her thesis is about space debris. Sophie has dedicated her life to academics and never had time for a boyfriend but now here she is about to start her Ph.D. and still no relationship. Tom - our male character is a budding musician and dating Poppy who is an upcoming Pop Star. One day, Tom has a thought about space and music and how physics could help him write an amazing song about love. He starts emailing Sophie aka SC and the two start an amazing You've Got Mail Email chain. We read throughout the book the various missed connections this pair has, as they are always just out of reach from one another yet the reader knows they are the perfect soulmates for one another. Will Tom and Sophie finally get their #meetcute moment with one another or will they forever be missing one another and just live with the memories of their emails? Find out in this amazing #meetcute romance which mixes science, music, and love to create the perfect bookish (weed) concoction known as Bound to Happen by Jonathon Shannon.

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...
