'Twas the Night

Review: Twas the Night - Sandra Hill , Trish Jensen and Kate Holmes - October 2001.

Twas the night before Christmas and all was snowed in , not a airplane to be flown in the sky. Our story starts in a way that reminded me of the movie with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn "Four Holidays" mixed with the overall story reminding me of "I'll be Home for Christmas" starring Jonathon Taylor Thomas. In the Twas the Night , it seems like an anthology but it isn't , its a lot like Let it Snow with three stories all interweaving into one. The novel starts with a wedding invitation inviting three men who grew up in a boys home to the wedding of their mentor. Each of these three men vowed never to return home until now. We have Slick aka Sam who is a Navy Pilot , Kevin who is a ex-police officer turned Bounty hunter - think Gerald Butler's role in the film "The Bounty Hunter" and last but not least ex-football superstar Stan.  Unfortunately for these three , their trip home isn't going to be as easy as 1-2-3. Their ride home will come in the form of get ready for it - a Santa Brigade bus filled with retired geriatric santas. For Sam , he's about to discover that his long-time crush is the driver of the bus, will this be the christmas where Sam will finally discover what true love is or will it continue to be a bumpy ride as Reba has already been duped once before ?
For Kevin, work always comes first so of course on his way to the wedding he stops to pick up bail jumper Callie whom he needs to drop off at Maine. Is Callie innocent or is she hiding something much more serious and will this christmas entitle the pair to a hunter-criminal relationship ?
Last but not least is ex-footballer Stan and forest ranger Dana , are these two meant to be or will the fiery passion between them stand to be too hot and keep them apart ?
Will the three men make it in time and one piece to the wedding and will this christmas be one that they will never forgot as they discover what Santa may have in store for them all.
A love story that will set hearts on fire and one with the christmas joy and spirit.

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
