Review: These Vicious Games - MT Morgan - September 2024

Jennifer's fiancé Joshua is a compulsive gambler and when he ends up losing more than he can handle, Atticus known as The Beast of Seattle ends up offering Joshua an ultimatum - he can bet his fiancée and if he wins then his debt can be cleared and if he loses then Atticus gets Jennifer to play with. Of course, Joshua loses and Jennifer ends up being Atticus's property. We learn that Jennifer's real name is Constance and that her early life before 15 years old is a blur - she can't remember anything. The thing though is that Atticus knows exactly what happened and he wants to punish Constance for the part that she played. As the book goes along though we watch as Atticus's heart starts to slowly defrost and that despite his dark side and trauma, he wants to make himself better as he believes he can love and protect Constance, just as he has been doing ever since he first met her as a child. This book gave me Lark and Leather vibes to it with Atticus's displays of love were flowers that included various body parts or flowers in vases made of skulls of the criminals he has killed. I have to admit this was another book that exceeded my expectations and I enjoyed it more than I thought I did I even ended up suggesting it to a few other readers.

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...
