Review: North Star - Karly Lane -  April 2011
Have you ever been stuck in a town and then once you are old enough , you can't wait to get rid of it ? For Kate Thurston, growing up life was difficult and she didn't have the most easiest childhood ever , spending most of her time with her grandparents . When her grandfather dies , Henry Campbell leaves Kate his estate - North Star. Kate wanting to escape her life in the city as she has just gotten out of a divorce and a marriage that is no longer perfect due to his gambling problems decides that a move back home may be just what her and her two children Liam and Georgia might need. When she arrives at North Star, it seems that it needs a whole lot of work done to it and so they begin , but it isn't long before those demons from Kate's past start to catch up with her and it becomes even more so when she starts to show feelings for the town's local police officer John. When history starts re-appearing , can Kate control what is said and done or will her family's so-called curse be past onto her ? North Star by Karly Lane is an amazing novel that presents itself not only as a family drama/saga but also a suspenseful mystery as bits and bobs from Kate's family's past is revealed. Filled with twists and turns , North Star will keep you enthralled till the very last page and I for one am interested to read what Karly will bring out next , so reader's next time your'e searching for a good read pick up North Star by Karly Lane.

  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
