Review: Captured Love - Book #3 Crestwood University Series - Emery Paige - March 2025

Once it was Baseball stars and then it was Football and now currently, we are in a sports romance era where Hockey Players are all the rage.  As someone who used to play Hockey in school, I have been enjoying these reads and I have always wanted to personally see an ice hockey match. Though I am not much of a sports person these days, I still love reading about them. Captured Love had captured my attention as the main female character Selene worked as a student librarian. This however was the extent of excitement for me with this book as I love my books with a bit more grit and that goes for the romances too. Maybe someone who will give it back to the main male character just as good like Elle Kennedy's characters or someone who has gone through a just as tragic or even more tragic life like Ava Harrison's characters.  Captured Love was what I would classify as a YA romance as it really was a sweet romance with not a lot of substance to it. Even Selene working in the library wasn't exactly a bookish character which is what you expect with working in the library and this comes from someone who is a former librarian. Selene has been texting with Ice Hockey player Knox who is a bit of a playboy and she sleeps with him. He acts all cold afterwards and she freaks out and gets angry and Knox must win her back. We also saw a little interfering from an ex-girlfriend but this storyline was pretty much brushed over which I had wished for maybe a stronger jealousy storyline like she freaking stalked them and all she had to do was say sorry and leave like WTF. Moving on, if you are wanting an introduction to the world of Ice Hockey or wanting a soft light romance read, then Captured Love by Emery Paige is the read for you and this book can also be read as a standalone like I did.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
