Hasty Julia Kent (Do-Over Series, #4) Publication date: July 28th 2020 Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance AN ALL-NEW STANDALONE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENT I never thought my perp walk would lead to true love. Then again, I never thought I’d be arrested on RICO charges and hauled away in zip ties on camera for the world to see, minutes after closing the most amazing deal of my career. And all of it in front of my biggest viral, billionaire wunderkind Ian McRory. I am broke. I am disgraced. I am alone. I am a sucker. But the worst part? I have to go back to my hometown and live in my bedroom filled with relics from my childhood. Lisa Frank never made me so mad before. Just when I needed a rescue, I got one — in the form of help from my biggest rival. He can’t bring back my money. He certainly can’t bring back my reputation or my pride.

Review: Deep - Kylie Scott

Review: Deep - Book #4 Stage Dive Series - Kylie Scott - March 2015 Like most series, unfortunately, I have a habit of reading them out of order. A series I have had for a while and now read Books 1, 2 and 4 is Stage Dive by Kylie Scott. I felt that it was good reading Book #4 Deep after Book #2 Play.  Book #2 featured Anne and Mal, and Book #4 features Anne's younger sister Liz and Ben - the bassist for the band Stage Dive. When Anne started to get serious with Mal, Lizzie started coming along to the band rehearsals and events and slowly she was captivated with Ben. The pair knew that they shouldn't go near each other as they would both be killed by Anne and Mal. The thing is though that they had chemistry and drawn to one another. During the book, the pair becomes close friends and then one night they finally give into temptation and Lizzie's loses her V-card. The book starts to get a little interesting as Lizzie discovers she is pregnant with Ben...

Review: First Date - Krista McGee

Image
Today's book from Booksneeze is a YA or as we call it in New Zealand , a Teens Novel. I would have to say in terms of a Romance Christian Fiction for Teens , this would have to be one of the best ones I have ever read .  Review: First Date - Krista McGee - Jan 2012 When picking e-books to review from Booksneeze, sometimes it is a lucky dip unless the author is one you are familiar with or in this case, the cover of this book looked really good, so I thought I would give it a read and OMG it was amazing and I loved it too bits. If you have ever watched reality TV Shows like Beauty and the Geek or The Bachelor , then it will give you an idea of what First Date is like. Jonathan Jackson, is the son of the President and his father for publicity has chosen 100 girls to compete to win a date with his son to the prom. Each school has sent a representative in and from the small christian school of Tampa, Florida - the principal has chosen Addy. Addy is definitely not the type of girl t...

Review: Tempest - Julie Cross

  Looking for a new debut author to read ? A book that many have already proclaimed as the besy book for 2012 ? One that contains alot of surprising twists ? Review: Tempest - Julie Cross - January 2012 When I first saw this book , I thought OK, another supernatural novel and that it must be about angels as that's what it looked like from the cover to me and then I thought it might be about water sirens etc as Tempest is a water creature e.g like the book "Tempest Rising". But, I was in for a shock as it turned about to be about a jumper - a guy named Jackson , who holds the rare gene of being able to jump back in time and then back to the present time. It has to be careful though, as what happens could alter the future. The longest he has ever jumped back in time was forty-eight hours. We also discover that he keeps a journal , inspired by his best friend Adam. One night in 2009 , Jackson stops by his girlfriend Holly's house and tragedy occurs and soon Jackson fin...
