Review: My Dark Desire - Book #2 Dark Prince Road Series - LJ Shen and Parker S Huntington - March 2024

This book was WOW and just hit all the right spots from the most gorgeous book cover #covercrush right there to the fact that this book summed up feelings that were reminiscent of Cinderella movies like Hilary Duff's  A Cinderella Story. This book starts with Zach experiencing his father's death as a young boy. This caused Zach to grow up to become someone who didn't like to touch and lost all senses of feeling as he was a cold human being with no experience of sensation. He especially hated touching another person. That was until he met Farrow who he has struck a bargain, that she come and work for him and be his cleaner. Farrow was caught trying to break into his house as she was there to steal back her father's pendant - the one her stepmother sold along with the rest of his belongings when he was killed in a freak accident. As the book goes along, we see sparks fly between Zachary and Farrow, but of course, his mother Constance has different plans during the majority of this book is the storyline of an arranged marriage with Eileen Yang that his mother is busy setting up but us readers are in anticipation and hope that  Zach will finally stand up to his mother and be with Farrow -the one girl he can stand to touch and the only one who has allowed him to be himself and help him grow. She also has amazing banter with Zach and his friends. I also loved how she finally got justice for her father and got what was hers all along. I have to admit, I didn't have high expectations for this book at first but even after reading it a few days ago, I am still thinking about it, and because of that the rating has moved from 4Ps to 5Ps for me. I am now excited to read Oliver's story, though reading the preview - I was very surprised to see that it wouldn't be with Frankie but with another female, which was a tad bit disappointing as those two have had flirtatious moments and chemistry in the first two books.  If you love Cinderella-themed movies, then My Dark Desire should be at the top of your reading pile for March 2025.

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...
