Review: Irresistible Refrain - Book #1 Tempest - Michelle Mankin - October 2013

One of my favourite things to read about is Music , I am in awe of not only the hunky musicians but also I love to read the behind the scenes of the industry as it fascinates me on how someone who can have so much money , fame and all the girls in the world can lead such a horrible and miserable existence. The other thing I loved about Irresistible Refrain was the fact that the main character's name was Bryan , for those who know me they will catch the reference. In Irresistible Refrain , it starts off with three children - Lace, Dizzy and Bryan , growing up they were the best of friends and Lace and Bryan had this Cinderella and Prince Charming type of relationship going on . Then tragedy struck and the threesome was split until high school started and Bryan along with his now best friend Warren aka War meet up again with Dizzy and Lace. Bryan still holding the torch for Lace is about to ask her out until Warren stakes his claim - not wanting to disturb the bro-code , Bryan goes along hoping it will be a short lived experience . Years past and now Bryan, War and Dizzy along with two others are Rock Stars and the romance between War and Lace is still going.  When danger and cracks start appearing in friendships, relationships and their band - is this the time to tell Lace the truth that he has never stopped loving her or will this revelation be the one to end everything in the world of balance ?
Irresistible Refrain was one of those music/love stories that not only shows the dangers of love when it becomes an obsession but also the behind the scenes of the rock n roll world including drugs, sex and manipulation .

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
