Review: Blossoming Flower - Book #1 Wildflowers - Vivian Winslow - October 2015 Not having much luck with the books on my actual bookshelf, I went scrolling through my Kindle trying to find something to read and came across Blossoming Flower which had been sitting there for a few years. Again, with the majority of books on my kindle, I am going in blind with them as I have no idea what they are about - just the main gist is back when I got it originally there was something about it that had jumped out at me to read and purchase. Blossoming Flower by Vivian Winslow was a good read as we met Flor who is the daughter of a now-disgraced billionaire in Brazil. She has been living in the US and studying as she dreams of becoming a vet. When the school she was at suddenly closes down and she finds herself without any place to live and needing an idea for some money before she starts Smith University, Flor heads to a family friend Poppy Baron. Poppy has a strong connection to Flor's famil...

Review: Bubble Gum Love - Book #27 Ice Cream Shop Series - Rita Delude- July 2019 If you are in the mood for a sweet YA love triangle story, then BubbleGum Love is the read for you. I was snuggled into bed and just needed something to relax too and read before going to sleep. Browsing through my kindle, I came across Rita Delude's story in the Ice Cream Shop series. The book starts with the introduction of best friends Seth and Amanda, these two have been inseparable since they were at least six years old. Now they are about 15-16 years old. The book then jumps to Amanda aka Mandy's work - Rick's Ice Cream Shop and the introduction to a new co-worker Cory. There is an instant attraction between the pair and if Seth isn't onto it, he may just miss out his chance to date Amanda as seems like Cory is moving on as she is by all means - not attached. Will Seth get his chance and find the guts to ask Amanda out or will he have missed his window and Cory end up with...

VBT# Review - How to Quit Your Crush - Amy Fellner Dominy - May 2020 If you are in the mood for a YA romance that is finally about standing up for yourself despite your family's approval, then How to Quit Your Crush by Amy Fellner Dominy is the read for you. I have to admit that this was another slow-burn romance which seems to be the theme around here lately in the books I have read recently. I have to admit I wasn't keen on the main female lead but at least she finally came to her senses at the end after a bout of jealousy kicked through, but took her long enough. I also hated her parents especially when it was revealed what they both said while they thought she was sleeping when she was seven and got lost. I was so angry at them as it's like how dare they say that about their daughter, don't they have a caring bone in their bodies? Anyway, How to Quit Your Crush is about Maya aka Mai who has just recently graduated high school and is on her jour...
