Review: Cross My Heart - Book #1 The Oxford Legacy - Roxy Sloane - September 2023

This title caught my attention as it sounded like something up my alley and OMG it was. I have to say it ended up redeeming itself with the cliffhanger ending as it started as a 4-star read for me and then dipped in the middle but that ending pushed it back up there where it was almost a 5-star read but not quite. The book starts with Tessa heading to Oxford University to study in their graduate programme under some obscure scholarship foundation. The thing though that Tessa has an ulterior motive for joining the ranks of Oxford students, her older sister Wren committed suicide when she returned home from Oxford after her life just crashed. We learn that Wren was sexually assaulted and that was her downfall, her life she believed was no longer worth living. Tessa wants someone to pay and armed with the few facts she has from Wren; she is determined to find the culprit and make them pay. Her path takes her to a secret society filled with wealthy folk and old money aka Blackthorn Legacy and she has also caught the attention of one of her professors who also happens to be one of the members and brings her right into the dragon's den with his group of friends. One of them or all of them knows what happened to Wren and Tessa is determined to use them to get closer to the truth. What happens though when she starts to fall for Anthony St. Clair and vice versa and turns out he could be the devil she was looking for? Find out in Cross My Heart which fair warning readers had an OMFG cliffhanger which I was like NOOOOOOOOOO and I can't wait to read Book #2 as I don't want this person to be a villain as there was something about him that doesn't strike me as a bad guy.  I am now looking forward to reading the rest of the series by Roxy Sloane.

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...
