Review: Beautiful Addictions - Mad Men Collection - Season Vining - January 2014 - Re-Released April 2024

I had heard of this author before and I had another of her books on my Kindle called Held Against You, but I was captivated by this cover. Turns out the book was originally published in 2014 but has been re-released with a new amazing cover to die for. The book starts with Josie Banks waking up after doing drugs and then while at home - she spots a young man in her alley. He captivates her as she stares and wonders what is going through his mind as she watches him lose control. Josie ends up tracking the guy to the bar where he works - "stalker much". Turns out the guy aka Tristan actually knows Josie, but she wasn't known as Josie back then and the girl he knew is supposed to be dead as the newspaper recorded. Who is Josie and what is her story? Turns out Josie of course suffered amnesia and doesn't remember her past which is about to get a whole load of difficulty for her as there are some bad hitmen aka mafia wanting her dead - since they messed up the first time around. Can Tristan protect Josie or will he find himself tangled up with the hit as they track him down? I also enjoyed this book and Tristan's character as he has an eidetic memory which is a bit of a gift and a curse I could relate to this as my memory isn't completely eidetic but it is close - especially when it comes to certain memories and books I have read. I am now looking forward to reading the rest of Season's Mad Men Collection including Held Against You. Beautiful Addictions by Season Vining is a great edgy dark romantic suspense read perfect for the New Adult genre where it has its dark moments but in terms of other darker reads it felt cleaner at the same time.

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
