Book Review: First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston

Image
First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston is about a woman named Evie Porter that has everything a woman could want. But the catch is ... Evie Porter doesn't exist. Her identity and location comes first ... Evie Porter. The mark comes second ... Ryan Sumner. Lastly, the job. Evie only knows her boss by Mr. Smith, but after she failed miserably with her last job, Evie can't screw up the Ryan Sumner job if she wants to go leave this live behind and reclaim her true identity. WOW . . . Ashley Elston weaved a fantastic story that had me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading First Lie Wins . It's so engaging that I couldn't wait to find out how it all was going to end. There were twists and turns galore that had me guessing the whole time.

One of the things I enjoyed the most about First Lie Wins is that

Cover Girl (Sweet Dreams, #9) by Yvonne Greene is the ninth book in the Sweet Dreams teen romance book series by Bantam Book publishers. High school junior Renee is signed on with a modeling agency in New York City and begins booking jobs as a high fashion model right away.

It seems more like a demand than a request. I wanted to tell the main character to run in the other direction.  The other thing that bothered me was how the modeling

Book Review: Little Sister (Sweet Dreams, #5) by Yvonne Greene

Growing up, there was a teen romance book series called Sweet Dreams that Bantam Books published. Each book was a stand alone book (for the most part) with different characters and were written by a variety of different authors. These teen romance books are hit and miss with character development and plot, especially when it comes to the earlier books in the series. However, the book series wasn't readily available in my local bookstores. It seemed that the only place I could actually find them easily were the school book fairs, which was frustrating to me as a kid.  Although the internet was around, online shopping hadn't made it big yet, so that wasn't really an option at the time. As an adult, I decided to track down some of these books online, order them, and read them. I came across a copy of Little Sister (Sweet Dreams, #5) by Yvonne Greene on ThriftBooks.com and decided to buy it. Little Sister (Sweet Dreams, #5) opens with Cindy waking up on the
