Review: Covet - Tracey Garvis - Graves - Book #1 Covet Series - September 2013

Life in Suburbia is always curiosity to the outsider as we wonder what really goes on behind those closed doors and tight-knit community. Coveting is such an easy pattern to fall into and one temptation that many of us slip into as easy as our clothes. What if that one person you wanted so much and fell in love with belonged to somebody else and the life you envisioned for yourself belonged to someone else too ? Covet takes us into the lives of Chris and Claire whose marriage has been a bit shaky since the big recession and her husband lost his job and then took a new one which has forced him to travel alot. Over the course of the novel , we will read two POV's - one from Claire as she learns to live life like a single mother and finds herself falling in love with new friend Daniel - the policeman and Chris as he struggles with the hours of his new job and as he looks at the point of how his job is taking him away from his family. Reading this novel, it did make me wonder that major "if only" question as I was thinking to myself - that alot of Chris and Claire's problems would have been solved if only they talked to each other, if only they told each other how they were really feeling and not ignoring and skating around the issue. 
Covet was one of those women's fiction novels that as you read it , you can view it as - this is something that has probably happened in many households due to lack of communication and emotional bonding and makes the reader reflect on their own life and question whether if they have a family/partner - are they communicating as well as they should be or are they slowly drifting apart ?
This was another wonderful book by Tracey and I look forward to reading what she brings out next to the world of books.

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
