Review: Wreck the Halls - Tessa Bailey - October 2023

This particular book comes with a funny story as I ended up with two copies of the title - one from the amazing HarperCollins NZ and the other from The Book Shoppe Box as it happened to be this year's Christmas Book Box Book and what better day to read it than on Christmas Day which I did. I knew I would love it as I am a big fan of Tessa Bailey's books and her quirkiness and characters tend to always hit the spot for me. I had the added bonus with this one too as being part of the Book Shoppe Box, on specific pages, I had lovely little gifts to open making the reading experience just that little bit more memorable this Christmas season. The book starts with two sixteen-year-olds Melody and Beat being interviewed and then the book jumps to the present time in December when they are both now 30 years old - well Melody is almost 30 as she is two months younger than Beat. 30 years ago, their mothers Octavia and Trina were known as The Steel Birds - a famous rock band and they made it big. That was until one day, they called it quits and never spoke about the band, each other, and the reason they quit. Now Beat and Melody have been approached by Danielle who wants to film a reality TV show about getting The Steel Birds reunited and the final episode is them playing together on-stage Christmas Eve - the payout is $1 Million Dollars which Beat needs as he is being blackmailed. Can Beat and Melody work together to get their mothers reunited for one more time and who knows even patch up a little of the past and will Beat and Melody also get a Christmas wish granted as sparks fly between the pair of them? Find out in this awesome Christmas read that everyone should have on their December reading lists - Wreck the Halls by Tessa Bailey. This book is also one that I could envision being made into a fun Hallmark Christmas feel-good film.

  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
