Hard Nox (Wild Scots book 1)
By Jolie Vines
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶🌶🌶

My brother warned me about his 6'5" brawler friend. I'm going to do him anyway.

Isobel:
Lennox is one hot Highlander.
Muscles bulging on thick arms.
A smirk and a bossy swagger.
In a kilt, he's devastating.
To everyone but me. As teenagers, he crashed my car, stole my first kiss, then walked away with another woman.
I'll be damned if my brother's best friend is getting an easy ride back into my life.

Nox:
Isobel is a menace. She races cars and has tattoos in places I can't even imagine. I shouldn't want her. But I can't forget the one kiss we shared as teenagers. Fresh out of the military, I have one thing in my sights - her.
Isobel Fitzroy is my best friend's sister, and I'm going to tame her wild heart.

You get exactly what you expect to get with this book! Adult romance with plenty of spice and a Scots man in a kilt. It was well written with likeable characters and enjoyable to read.

A necessary book to read as a teenager
Reading J. D. Salinger's renowned book when you're younger makes perfect sense because you can relate to the main character, and his wayward ways while growing up. He's awkward, but most importantly he's on the brink of self-destruction which many teenagers can relate to. As an adult reading it, Holden Caulfield will seem like just an arrogant teenager, but as a young person you'll see he's just trying to find his way in the world, also bringing up awareness of mental health. A classic book.

What does feminism mean today? This explains what it means and offers a 20th century definition: inclusion and awareness. She points out institutional behaviours as well as blatant discrimination. She uses personal experiences to illustrate how bad this can be and what it means to be a woman today. Fantastic stuff!
Oh, and if you want to know whether I’d recommend it (the answer is yes), you only have to look at the example of Sweden, where they hand a copy of this book out to all teenagers, boys included, to read.

Fun piece of cinema
I had heard about this film from other and the internet, so I spent some Best Buy reward Bucks and gave it a shot.

Certainly interesting and fun storytelling with a lot of Hunger Games thrown in. Nothing like a bunch of teenagers trying to kill each other on a deserted island to keep me entertained for two hours.


Not too much of a point, but if you are just looking for amusing entertainment, you can certainly do a lot worse than this.

A suspenseful thriller from American author Harlan Coben, released a few years ago but this is a good Ôstand aloneÕ story that will introduce you to the dark world of gritty crime that he writes so well.
The central character, Paul Copeland, is the County Prosecutor of Essex, New Jersey. Twenty years ago his sister, and three other teenagers, disappeared from a summer camp and now ÔCopeÕ finds himself embroiled in a case that may provide some answers to their disappearance. A great thriller with plenty of interesting characters and plot twists.

The way Laura incorporates comedy with Izzys dialog to get through uncomfortable moments is so on point. It's hilarious and real while tackling real issues that today's teens have to deal with while trying to grow up and find themselves and their place in the world. In this book Izzy really comes into her own and finds that space while rallying to help others also be able to be teenagers doing stupid things because we all have. It was a good conclusion with an open ending for Izzy.
