Review: This Girl - Book #3 Slammed Series - Colleen Hoover - April 2013

One of the new things that many people would have noticed with this New Adult genre is the re-telling of the stories from the others POV. Same story, just a different viewpoint. I have discovered the perfect solution on how not to feel like you are re-reading the story.  How to do it is to take a break between reading the books. This is what I did with the Slammed series as I adored Books #1 and #2 and then when I saw that Colleen had released a third one , I got it immediately and then it has been sitting on my e-reader for almost a year. I finally got around to reading it and I enjoyed it as much as I could as those who know me , understand that unless the book is OMG FREAKING AMAZING then I do not re-read stories as the excitement for that story disappears once I finish the book. 
This Girl by Colleen Hoover is Book #3 in her Slammed series which feature Lake and Will. In this book , they are finally celebrating their long-awaited honeymoon and on their first night, Lake asks Will to tell her about his past. Starting from the moment his parent's died and leading up to asking Lake to marry him.  There are quite a few repeated moments in This Girl as we would have read in the previous books but also new moments like what happened prior to Will meeting Lake - mainly the break-up between him and Vaughn after his parent's car crash.
I strongly recommend to readers, not to read This Girl unless you have read the previous two books in the series and only read this if you don't mind repetition and also if you are like me and want to make sure you have finished the series.
 Another great hit by Colleen Hoover :)

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
