Eight-Second Ride (Willow Bay Stables, #2) 

Review: Eight Second Ride - Book #2 Willow Bay Stables - Anne Jolin - July 2016

Eight Seconds as I found out from reading this book and from watching the movie The Longest Ride is how long a bull rider must stay on the bull in order to qualify for the championships and making the big bucks. As someone who grew up with a little bit of knowledge with the rodeos as my Nana and Grandad participated in it as did my Uncle, the rodeo side of things has always fascinated me and one day I wish to see an American Rodeo.  The book starts ten years ago where we meet Rayne Brooks and her husband , he is a bull-rider and tragedy strikes . The book then fast-forwards to ten years later where Rayne aka Ray Brooks has just moved to Willow Bay to take over her father's Vet business and raise her daughter . After being hurt after the accident, she made a rule - Never Date a Cowboy or at the very least one involved with the rodeo circuit.  After his horse was injured in the Rodeo , Owen Daniels has returned home to Willow Bay Stables - to get his horse fixed and help out the family before heading back onto the road and into the circuit. Owen meets Ray and his heart is captivated with her and so begins the cycle of his asking her out and she - rejecting him with the line of "I don't date cowboys". Can Owen prove to her that he loves her and would do anything for her ? However, when it comes to the crunch - can Owen give up his love and passion of the Rodeo for romance and a life settling down in Willow Bay ? Is Owen Daniels ready for an instant family ? Also for those who remember London Daniels and Branson Tucker from Book #1: Change of Rein  - the two have a little baby in Eight Second Ride.
Find out in another awesome book by Anne Jolin in her Willow Bay Stables series and I now can't wait to read Book #3 which is the younger Daniels sister's story.

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
