Review: You Said I Was Your Favourite - Book #5 Lancaster Prep Series - Monica Murphy - October 2023

Every year, I try and pick an author or a series to clear off my bookshelf and this year was Monica Murphy's Lancaster Prep series and I am loving it so far, it's one of those why I wait so long series to read. I did have the feeling that I would enjoy it of course as she is one of the OG's new adult romance writers and it shows with her books. Book #5 takes us to another of the Lancaster families, this time Archibald aka Arch Lancaster who is the son of George and Miriam Lancaster. He is the cousin of all the previous Lancaster characters. You Said I Was Your Favourite features Arch and his younger sister Edie. Arch wished he could go to Europe for a gap year and graduate early, but alas his family won't let him, and trust me he has inherited the jerkiness of his cousins Whit and Crew. He is currently #1 for his grades and is set to be Valedictorian. Daisy Albright is a scholarship kid as her father Ralph works as the groundskeeper at Lancaster Prep. She is also Arch's competitor in the classroom as she is currently in the #2 spot and looks like she may overtake him. Daisy is the invisible one, but she feels lonely sometimes and the odd one out. She would rather spend her time helping out in the school office, tending her rose garden, or reading her romance books. When an incident arises with Arch and his ex-girlfriend Cassidy forces Arch to work in the office with Daisy, you can guess where the book goes as we have enemies to lovers situation happen. Like the previous books, we have an I'm secretly in love with someone below my status and eventually when I feel comfortable or forced to choose - I will reveal to everyone that I love her and she will be my HEA we also have the cameo of I have an annoying Lancaster sibling who loves to stir up trouble and wants to befriend the girl I love.  This series is one that you know what you will get before you open the book, but it is also one that has you craving the angst and romance of #oppositesattract and the girl or guy depending on which book you read, bringing the Lancaster down to earth and reality, making them the decent person they were all along.  Stay tuned for more Lancaster Prep adventures as I continue to read the rest of the books in the series.

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: Mother's Instinct - Barbara Abel - Reprinted 2023 Imagine you and your next-door neighbors become the best of friends, so much that you practically live at each other's houses and then you end up getting pregnant at the same time and both have boys who become like brothers and they both have names starting with "M" - Max and Milo.

One family grieves, while the other tries to protect their son and then eventually the parent with the child starts to get paranoid that something might happen to her son, as you know a "Mother's Instinct" is strong. Mother's Instinct was a twisted read that the ending blew me away as I didn't see that coming. Upon more research after finishing the book, I saw that it had been made into a Belgium movie and it's also being made into a US movie starring Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain. Reading the boo...
