Remember Jason from Book #1 I Found You and his now wife Rachel. Well Book #2 follows on from that story and features Jason's workmate and close friend Justin. Just You is a story of Cinderella in the modern age with a twist as Justin happens to be a Black kid from the Bronx and is the father of his household , trying to keep his three brothers from the gang life that they are exposed to every single day while his mum works to provide for the family. Portia who works with Justin at the Sports Magazine , is from the upper class and is wealthy, white and has a british accent. She is as different to him as day and night. The thing is though , that once they get to know each other they can't help but start to fall in love but it seems their different cultures and upbringings keep on getting in the way of their happiness. Can Portia prove to Justin that she isn't just another run of your mill rich white girl and that she isn't taking him on as a charity case but that she really loves him ? Can Justin really marry someone whose seemingly in a class above him ? When it all boils down to it , what really makes true love and happiness is "Just You".
 If you are wanting a fast-paced contemporary New Adult romance with a bit of an egdy side as this novel does focus on life in gangs and gang-related incidents, then Just You by Jane Lark is the book for you and if you haven't read the first one,  then what are you waiting for - check out "I Found You" by Jane Lark as both books are worth the read.

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
