Sustained (The Legal Briefs, #2)

Review: Sustained - Book #2 The Legal Briefs Series - Emma Chase - August 2015

This particular book has been sitting on my bookshelf waiting for me to crack it open and read for a while now and I am glad I finally got around to it as I loved it. I loved it so much that I went and brought Book #1 on Kindle and discovered that the library has got Book #3. I had always heard that Emma Chase was a fun author and great writer and after reading Sustained, I definitely have to agree as I loved this book. In Sustained we meet Jake Becker, who is your average playboy lawyer - who is cold in the courtroom, hot in bed and then cold - straight after the encounter. He is a man of many one-night stands. On one occasion though we discover that Jake has contracted a STD from one of his many stands - which throws having sex for two weeks out the window. During this time, a local Senator and his wife are killed in a car accident and the Senator's sister Chelsea has been given guardianship over his six children. When one of them runs into Jake and steals his wallet, Jake sees a young version of himself before the Judge got to mentoring him. After this interaction, Jake meets Chelsea and the pair connects and Jake feels something for her and eventually the whole family, which he has never felt before - a strong feeling of love and connection as he never really had that whole family dynamic before. What will happen though when Jake discovers he is falling too fast for Chelsea and starts to pull away and give her mixed signals? Will he lose her and the family for good? Is this one situation where he can't convince everyone she is better without him? 
Find out in this awesome book - Book #2 of the “Legal Briefs" series by Emma Chase.

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
