Review: Where You Are - Book #1 Together Series - Alla Kar - July 2014

Did you ever watch that film "John Tucker Must Die" ? I went to the movies to watch it with my Dad on one of our father-daughter dates and I have to say we both enjoyed the movie. In the film, there is this hot jerk of a guy known as John Tucker who basically sleeps around with lots of different women , has plenty of one-night stands and is your average womanizer , playboy. In the movie,  a new girl starts school and finds herself faced with a challenge by three of the women that John Tucker has hurt by his actions. To date him, dump him and get revenge by giving him a taste of his own medicine. The thing is though, that this new girl is different, she is unlike anyone he has ever dated and soon he actually becomes serious about her and by the time she wants to pull out as she realises she will actually hurt him - she is too far in. That is what this book "Where You Are" reminded me of , but of course to make it different there is a few twists in this book. The novel starts off with Laney - who is at college and has been enlisted by Bethany to help her win back Aiden Summers - the school's version of John Tucker. The thing is he doesn't even remember Bethany but he finds himself drawn to Laney and soon a plan starts to unfold and give Aiden a taste of his own medicine. The plan wouldn't be too difficult to execute but life has a way of playing games with us and putting obstacles in our way and Laney's is the guy that broke her into tiny pieces - Lachlan who is back in town for his best friend Lucas's wedding .
Can Laney decide which guy is best for her and will she be able to play out the revenge game as well as save the relationship with the one she really wants or will it backfire and Laney end up the one on the losing end ?
The only disagreement I have with this novel and it's possibly because the author was American, she did not realise but Palova is in fact spelt Pavlova and is in fact a New Zealand dessert and not Australian as you see the Aussies are always trying to claim New Zealand icons for themselves and we are pretty protective of what is rightfully ours.
Find out in Book #1 of the Together Series by Alla Kar.

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
