Review: At First Smile - Melissa Whitney - October 2024

This was such a cute read as we first met Penny who is visually impaired as she is slowly losing her eyesight. She walks with her cane that she calls "Cane Austen" which I have to admit was one of my favorite things in this book. When she heads to the airport, she does a good deed and pays for the guy in front of her food. Rowan is thankful and calls his assistant to have her upgraded on the flight and she ends up in first case sitting next to him as his agent has a good sense of humour. Rowan Iverson has been trying to keep a low profile as his reputation on the ice hockey rink is currently in tatters as he punches out another player. Of course, we learn that Rowan had a good reason, but is protecting another person. He is glad that Penny doesn't have a clue who is and when their flight is delayed - the pair spend a few days together where we read sparks flying between the two of them. What will happen though when their secret life ends up public and Rowan walks away, thinking he is protecting Penny? Has he done the right thing or will he realize he might have missed his chance of happiness? Can Rowan win back the girl? I loved all the characters in this series and can't wait to read the next two books which I assume will feature Penny's other two friends and Rowan's brothers.  If you are looking for a great romance that features ice hockey and disability representation and are a fan of Chloe Liese's books - then At First Smile by Melissa Whitney needs to be added to the top of your reading list.

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...
