The Girl & Her Ren by Pepper Winters
The Ribbon Duet Book 2
Publication Date: 5th June 2018
Genre: Coming of Age Romance
“What do you do when you write down all your secrets? No…that’s not enough. What do you do when you write down all your secrets and the one person who should never read them does?
I’ll tell you what you do.
You hope.”
REN
Ren didn’t know the meaning of love until he took Della for his own.
To begin with he hated her, but as the months bled into years, he learned the opposite of hate, dedicating his life to giving her everything.
Every sacrifice, every gift, he gave wholeheartedly.
But then love turned to lust and ruined everything.
DELLA
I was stupid to write my secrets down, but I’d been stupid before so it was nothing new.
I couldn’t blame him, hate him, fix him.
I tried to move on without him.
But no matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to delete the secrets I’d written.
Until something happened.
Until he came back and read my stupid secrets.
And nothing was the same after that.
Jolie Louis is a smart girl.
She knows that her best friend, Sage Poirier, is a bad idea.
He’s a walking, talking cliché. The Adonis quarterback with the bulging biceps and harem of fangirls trailing behind him on campus like a stench you can’t get rid of.
Sadly, it is also the very reason she can’t seem to stay away from him.
No, wait. That’s not fair. They’re also roommates, at least until May, when they graduate from college.
Jolie is already straddling the line between friendship and more when Sage comes to her with an offer she cannot refuse: be his fake girlfriend and live for free for the rest of the semester.
She tells herself that she can handle it.
He’s just the boy she saved ten years ago, right?
Wrong. So very wrong.
He is a man now, and she is his captive
Heart, body, and soul…

One week.
Private beach.
Invisible girl.
Jerk-faced bully.
What’s the worst that could happen?
Kaitlyn Parker has no problem being the invisible girl, which is why she finds herself hiding in various cabinets and closets all over her college campus. Despite her best efforts, she can’t escape the notice of Martin Sandeke–bad boy, jerkface bully, and the universe’s hottest, wealthiest, and most unobtainable bachelor–who also happens to be Kaitlyn’s chemistry lab partner.
Kaitlyn might be the only girl who isn’t interested in exploiting his stunning rower’s build, chiseled features, and family’s billionaire fortune. Kaitlyn wants Martin for his brain, specifically to tabulate findings of trace elements in surface water.
When Kaitlyn saves Martin from a nefarious plot, Martin uses the opportunity to push Kaitlyn out of her comfort zone: spring break, one week, house parties, bathing suits, and suntan lotion. Can she overcome her aversion to being noticed? Will he be able grow beyond his self-centered nature? Or, despite their obvious chemistry, will Martin be the one to drive Kaitlyn into the science cabinet of obscurity for good?
I watched a lot of movies this month and these are among some of my favourites. All of these here are re-watches except for Persuasion.
I was very happy when I managed to find a copy of Persuasion 1995 as it the only adaption of the story that I haven’t seen.
Reading is one of the things I love the most. I always like to set goals for what I want to read in the new year. I have set my Goodreads challenge to 200 books this year. For me this is achievable because in past years I have read twice this amount. But my circumstances have changed after graduating University, so I won’t have as much free time that comes with holidays.
I am excited for this year. One of my goals is to read all the books by some of my favourite, top authors. These are authors that are generally a 5 stars read for me and I want to get a chance to experience everything they have written. Some of the authors included in this list is Emma Scott, Aly Martinez, Alice Clayton, Linda Kage, Leylah Attar, Penny Reid, Carian Cole, Colleen Hoover, Rebecca Yarros, Tabitha Sazuma, Sophie Kinsella, Jay Crownover, J.M. Darhower, Amy Harmon, Cora Brent… Just to name a few. This will be a continual work in progress. When I find an author that I love, I know they are always a good choice when I don’t know what to read.
Another goal this year is to read more classics. I used to read nothing but classics and would refuse to read anything published after 1963 (this year is specific to any books published after The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath). But in 2013 I started reading more contemporary and I haven’t read as many classics as those first few years when I really started to love reading in 2010.
Similar to the goal above I want to read classics by some of my favourite authors. I want to read Anne Bronte, more Charlotte Bronte and Elizabeth Gaskell and Charles Dickens. Plus many more, I love books from the 18th and 19th centuries and I love being informed on history. There are also some modern classics that I want to read.
My final goal is to read a greater variety of books. I tend to stick to romance (although there is lots of variation in romance itself) I wouldn’t mid reading more literary fiction.
These are the books I’m looking forward to, in the first half of 2018…

These are the books that I want to read in 2018…
This is the perfect calendar to your daily Outlander fix. For me this is ideal as I will be reading Outlander this year and acts as a perfect companion to the books and anything else Outlander related.
I have it placed on my bedside table and all you need to do is rip off the next page to get a new day. The calendar is filled with pictures from the TV series, quotes and facts from the book and ‘you know when your obsessed when…’
I am really happy with this purchase and is a must for any Outlander fan.
