SPOILER FREE REVIEW

I rated it 4/5 "really liked it"

I couldn't clearly wrap my head around why the title is the title. I blame it on my lack of comprehension. Classic works just have too deep a meaning most of the time.

I would've ranted with the way the story ended if I hadn't done further research. Turns out the end is just as vague and letting the readers come up with their own conclusion. It broke my heart when Biggy married Joe but they both deserve to be happy. I was also happy when Estella finally became a human person with feelings and no longer a cold, heartless living robot.

Gave it four stars because I wasn't really all over it. Maybe I'm an Austen fan rather than a Charles since I'm a die hard romance fan.

Once again these Manga Classic adaptations are truly helpful.

I rated it 4/5 "really liked it"

I would like to thank the author Shona Husk for the ARC I received via email.

I know what I'm about to say is really cliche but I do mean it. This is no ordinary Cinderella retelling. The events are guided by the original fairy tale but this book has its own world. I can even almost favor this over the original. Well written and well thought out, there were no loose ends.

It's got witches, curses, potions and lots of pretty dresses, it's a three day party what do you expect. It has the right amount of thrill, mystery, and romance. I was hooked by this book from the very first chapter. Written in both Orabella and Gauthier's POV I was determined to be beside them both in their journey and see it through the end. By the end of the book it made me appreciate the forest and all living animals and insects around. It not only satisfies our reading needs but it also carries an important message.

I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because it didn't play with my feelings too much like the way I'm used to but it did keep my interest going. I'm always curious, I'm always searching for the solution and the reason.

It's so hard to give a review of this book without spoiling anything. All I can say is, take a chance and visit the world Shona Husk has created. Servant of the Forest comes out September 1st, be sure to grab a copy.

Book Review: Rhapsodic (The Bargainer #1)

Rhapsodic (The Bargainer #1) by Laura Thalassa

Publishing Date: November 15, 2016
Publisher: Lavabrook Publishing Group
Synopsis from Goodreads: 

Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past. For the last seven years she’s been collecting a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favors she’s received. Only death or repayment will fulfill the obligations. Only then will the beads disappear.

Everyone knows that if you need a favor, you go to the Bargainer to make it happen. He’s a man who can get you anything you want... at a price. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects.

But for one of his clients, he’s never asked for repayment. Not until now. When Callie finds the fae king of the night in her room, a grin on his lips and a twinkle in his eye, she knows things are about to change. At first it’s just a chaste kiss—a single bead’s worth—and a promise for more.

For the Bargainer, it’s more than just a matter of rekindling an old romance. Something is happening in the Otherworld. Fae warriors are going missing one by one. Only the women are returned, each in a glass casket, a child clutched to their breast. And then there are the whispers among the slaves, whispers of an evil that’s been awoken. 

If the Bargainer has any hope to save his people, he’ll need the help of the siren he spurned long ago. Only, his foe has a taste for exotic creatures, and Callie just happens to be one.

I rated it 5/5 "it was amazing"

Desmond Flynn is King of the Night and is a Bargainer for a sideline. A girl owes him 322 bargains and he has come to collect. What does he want in return? 

"I'll be back tomorrow night, be prepared for more than just a kiss." 

From the very beginning this book got me hooked. I keep comparing Des to Sarah J Maas's Rhys but later I've stopped because they are completely different. Not just the physical description but Des is a different person with a different background (which I'm so excited to read in his Novella 'The Emperor of Evening Stars').

I love stories where two people have this huge history together and the way the book was written, to jump between the past and the present and how they somewhat parallel to their arguments and revelations.

Overall this was a very exciting read, my heart pounds whenever Des and Callie are in the same room. I could feel their electricity jumping out of the pages of the book. This is my first Laura Thalassa book and it certainly wouldn't be the last. I also heard so much about her other series and will check those out soon too. This book deserves more praise because this is truly one of the gems.

Book Review: Manga Classics: Pride & Prejudice (Graphic Novel)

Manga Classics: Pride and Prejudice by Stacy King

Publishing Date: September 17, 2014
Publisher: UDON Entertainment
Synopsis from Goodreads: 

Beloved by millions the world over, Pride & Prejudice is delightfully transformed in this bold, new manga adaptation. All of the joy, heartache, and romance of Jane Austen's original, perfectly illuminated by the sumptuous art of manga-ka Po Tse, and faithfully adapted by Stacy E. King.

I rated it 5/5 "it was amazing"

Thank You Udon Entertainment for the copy via NetGalley and for auto approving me on the said site. I no longer need to request for your mangas if ever I wish to read them. Yaaay!

First of all this is my first time to read Pride and Prejudice. I only ever saw the adaptation film of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies which had the major events covered and it helped a bit as I was reading this manga. Beyond that film I have no other idea about this popular novel by Jane Austen.

I find that this manga was very helpful. Whenever I want to read a classic I would turn to graphic novels now to spare myself the time of reading the full length novel. Not a lot of people read the classics anymore and I'd be fine by knowing enough rather than nothing at all.

The drawings on this manga were very wonderful, aristic, the women are beautiful, the men are handsome! I wish men were often drawn with Mr. Darcy's hair in this manga. His hair is fabulous!

For students who are tasked to write an essay on classics (who aren't really fond of reading lots of words) I suggest you pick up Mangas or Graphic Novels because they are quite helpful and easier to read. It takes a lot less time too!

Book Review: I Knew You Were Trouble

I Knew You Were Trouble by Lauren Layne

Publishing Date: June 13, 2017
Publisher: Loveswept
Synopsis from Goodreads: 

New York City’s hottest bachelors are stirring up trouble in this fun, flirty Oxford Novel, as a love triangle forces a feisty beauty to choose between winning back Mr. Right or giving in to Mr. Wrong.

Taylor Carr has it all—a sleek job in advertising, a stunning Manhattan apartment, and the perfect man to share it with: Bradley Calloway. Even after Bradley dumps her for a co-worker on move-in day, Taylor isn’t worried. She’ll get her man eventually. In the meantime, she needs a new roommate. Enter Nick Ballantine, career bartender, freelance writer—and longtime pain in Taylor’s ass. Sexy in a permanent five-o’clock-shadow kind of way, Nick knows how to push Taylor’s buttons, as if he could see right through to the real her.

Nick’s always trying to fix people, and nobody could use a good fixing more than Taylor. Sure, she’s gorgeous, with mesmerizing silver eyes, but it’s her vulnerability that kills him. Now that they’re shacking up together, the chemistry is out of control. Soon they’re putting every part of their two-bedroom apartment to good use. Then Taylor’s ex comes crawling back to her, and Nick figures she’ll jump at the chance to go back to her old life—unless he fights for the best thing that ever happened to him.

Thank You Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept for the copy via NetGalley.

Short blurb: Taylor Carr and Nick Ballantine just click. They're both simply too dense to realize that all that bickering was a love spark being expressed in a different way. 

This is my first Lauren Layne book and I must say this is very well written. It's realistic, it doesn't feel rushed, it's not boring at all. Every event surprises me and books like that are simply great!

Taylor and Nick are just perfect for each other. No one else could get their sassy-ness and see it as a challenge rather than an insult. Nick screams sex appeal and I can't help but imagine Nick Bateman (a hot model) as I read this book. As I was reading this book I kept texting my friends my feels even though they wouldn't relate but I use small sentences to make them understand before I dive right back in.

It a huge possibility that I'll pick up another LL book in this series. ;)

Book Review: Fallen

Fallen by P.J. Fox

Publishing Date: April 18, 2017
Publisher: Evil Toad Press
Synopsis from Goodreads:

In entrepreneur and billionaire heir Dane, Ani sees a man who is gorgeous, brilliant... and intimidating. But in the equally intimidating world in which they live, a world that rose from the ashes of the Third World War and that now prizes dominance above almost all else, he's perfect. Ani, who's known her whole life that she doesn't belong in this world, is startled to discover that-despite what he is, or maybe because of it-she might not hate him quite as much as she thinks. He might be her polar opposite, but he has a lure that, try as she might, she can't deny.

Dane, meanwhile, finds himself unable to resist Ani's independent spirit. Even though he, as a product of the society that's given him so much, has long regarded such spirit as anything but a virtue. He likes his women like he likes everything else: on his own terms. Can he, he wonders, tame her?

And will Ani let herself be tamed?

And can she, a pacifist in a world of violence, keep herself safe? Because, despite its veneer of civility, this brave new world is a violent place; no trappings of wealth, and privilege, can disguise that fact. Crimes of all kinds, up to and including murder, are more than tolerated; under the guise of keeping society stable, they're encouraged. Particularly on one night of the year, a night that's fast approaching: the highlight of every loyal citizen's year, the night of the Purge. 

REVIEW

I rated it 5/5 "it was amazing"

"I’d intended to win you over, ah, I believe the phrase is the right way. Or the way, at least taught by mothers and gentlemen’s magazines and approved by my housekeeper. With flowers and jewels and whatever other things women might want. And flirtations and promises, not all of which were meant to be kept.”

My take on the plot.

Dane has been in love with Ani ever since he first laid eyes on her when she was sixteen. He waited for Ani but as he did he entertained other women. Now, Ani being 21 her aunt is eager for her to get married with her rich best friend Archer and one of wealthiest bachelor in the world Dane who she hates and purposely avoids during parties. The night of the Purge comes and Ani is left if with no other choice but to accept the shelter and hospitality Dane is demanding more than offering. But the death of her uncle remains a mystery, was it coincidental or intentional? Her aunt and brother even came out without a scratch.

SPOILER ALERT

Dane. Dane. Dane. Let’s talk about Dane. 

“You were - and are - dreams made flesh.”

In their time, monogamy is not a thing. It’s not a surprise if married men would warm the beds of other women. Someone as pure as Ani caught his eye and he made an effort for her to see him differently. I was pained when he revealed to Ani that every time he approaches her he sees it clearly in her eyes fear or him. And when she’s around other people she lights up and smiles and how badly he wishes he could be the one to make her shine that way. Soon he felt like he doesn’t deserve her, his lifestyle, he himself as a human being - unpure and tainted with disgusting gossip about him - doesn’t deserve her pureness. He wishes for Ani to be happy but human as we are he can still be selfish and could not shake the fact he wants Ani for himself.

Their relationship.

“It might be fantasy, but it was better than reality.”

Ani began with hatred for Dane. I think she just hates him because of his lifestyle and Ani wants nothing to do with the drama. In the modern world he would be labeled as a ‘bad boy’ and under that category as a ‘fvck boy’. With that much stain to his name no matter how rich, utterly handsome, and composed he may be Ani only wants to stay away from him. Unfortunately for Ani, Dane seems to keep his eyes on her during parties. Soon when Ani realizes they as different as they may seem they have this special bond where they connect. The moment she accepts her feelings for him the more things become easier. The progress of their relationship wasn’t rushed, it was clear how hate turned to love. In the number of pages it may seem short but as I read with the thoughts of Ani I understand how her feelings came to be.

The mystery.

Everyone was a suspect. Okay not everyone, but a lot had motive and many gained from the death of Ani’s uncle. Up until before the revelation I wasn’t even sure who the culprit was.

The revelations.

Ani’s past uncovered it was remarkable. I was too engrossed with the story that I didn’t have a moment to step back and wonder about her past which is why I missed that detail and I failed to analyze things.

“Each war is fought with different weapons.”

The writing.

It took a long time for the story to get to the main plot. It was very hard for me to read at first, with all the placing of events, their setting, the characters. There were a lot of unnecessary side stories and some scenes took to long and weren’t even that of a game changer. The ending wasn’t rushed but it lacked happiness. Most of the story revolves around Dane and Ani’s relationship and the readers weren’t even given the privilege of seeing their wedding. I personally wanted to know what happens and how big a wedding in Victoria can be especially when you’re marrying a filthy rich man such as Dane.

"You have the right to your own life. To your own dreams, your own goals. To be yourself."

Overall I did enjoy this book so much. It was a very fun read, the thrilling events didn’t lack heart racing features. I wish for a sequel too.

IMDB Blurb:

Before she was Wonder Woman she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained warrior. When a pilot crashes and tells of conflict in the outside world, she leaves home to fight a war to end all wars, discovering her full powers and true identity.

Review:

5/5 stars

Diana, Goddess of the Amazons.

The words that best describes this film are “GIRL POWER”. I have so much love for the Amazonians now. I wasn’t their biggest fan because I somehow see them as girls of the wild and like female versions of Tarzan. The film portrays them as civilized women who despite lack the interaction with other people - especially men - and the exposure to the world beyond their island, they are quite educated to the ways of the people beyond.

The film is filled with beautiful women and girls. Diana is a hero who stands for what’s right and doesn’t care if she’s out of line. If she sees or hears something wrong she speaks her mind. Her goal is to save the world. Such an achiever! To stop the war, she needs to find Ares and kill him. Well that sounds simple enough too. If you set your mind to something, you’ll reach it no matter what.

I really want to know when and how she got her superhero name “Wonder Woman”. I’m too lazy to read the comics, I hope it’ll be revealed in the sequel though.

There was never a moment of boredom in the film. All conversations meant something and are always game changers. 

I really hate it when men die before the girls. It seems really unfair for me. Steve was great, Steve was hot too. I mean come on, Chris Pine, hello! His sacrifice gave Diana the push she needed and unleashed her full power. So the plot for the first film was in order for someone to be completely strong, the factor that makes them weak must be removed. There’s just no words for this film. It’s the best. Gal was the perfect Wonder Woman, she did a really great job even though she was pregnant during shooting. This has been one of my most anticipated films of 2017 and it did not disappoint.

Book Review: Bossed

Bossed by Sloane Howell 

Publishing Date: March 28, 2017
Publisher: Loveswept
Synopsis from Goodreads: 

He’s the boss. But she’s ready to take charge.

In this provocative and sexy* office romance, a cheeky new hire tempts a hotshot sports agent to mix business with pleasure.

Jenny: Job interviews are a bitch under the best of circumstances, but when your potential boss is the world’s biggest prick, that’s when you should simply walk away. It’s just that I need this job so badly—and I’m mesmerized by Ethan Mason’s piercing gaze. Men like him aren’t supposed to exist in real life. But under the tailored suits and GQ looks, Ethan simmers with barely restrained ambition. And no matter how hard I work to fight the attraction, I’m going to get burned.

Ethan: You don’t become a top agent without learning how to close a deal. I always get what—or who—I want, by staying cool and in command. Then Jenny Jackson walks into my office with her lush curves and “screw you” attitude and blows away my intentions of keeping things professional. All I can think about is exploring the perfect body hidden beneath those conservative clothes or shutting her saucy mouth with one hot kiss. Jenny’s worth breaking the rules over—if I can convince her to break the rules for me.


*By sexy, we mean sexy. Like, 18+ sexy.

SPOILER FREE REVIEW

I rated it 5/5 stars "It was amazing"

I highly suggest this book to everyone who likes to read about men who are filthy rich but with a good heart, who are still human and make honest mistakes. The characters almost feel like their real persons in the real world because of how they react and behave in certain situations.

"Everything about her was a bad idea." 

A boss who likes to be in control, has a filthy mouth, and sexy from head to toe, inside out. And Jenny likes that about him.

"Distractions kill productivity, and she was the ultimate distraction - for me."

Ethan Mason built his company because of a shattered dream, and he made a promise to himself that a woman shall never get in the way of his business the way his mother ruined her father's business a long time ago.

As I was reading this book I always felt giddy and excited. I had the feels! Plus I cried with the ending, it tore me apart. I've never cried to a romance novel before, not even 50 shades of grey trilogy (though I've yet to read the 3rd book). But I cried with the book and I felt my heart hurt. It was kind of expected but I never thought it would affect me that much.

This was a very fun and interesting read. I couldn't put it down and I realized I read it in just 3 days (or nights to be specific because I read books that I like so much during night time). The fun characters, Ethan and Jenny's best friends make me wish I had best friends like them. I'm a sucker for businessmen in romantic stories and this was in the baseball business which I have less to zero knowledge about and so it was a great way to somehow expose myself a bit about their world. 

Book Review: Kiss the Boys

Kiss the Boys by Chris Myers, Diana Downey

Publishing Date: November 1, 2016
Publisher: Books on the Edge
Synopsis from Goodreads:

Three estranged brothers.
One runaway girl.

Sweet and sexy Noah soars as Spartans’ basketball shooting star. Overly protective, bad boy Nathan has beaten the devil and believes he’s invincible. And angry and bitter Jake cannot move past losing his unit in Afghanistan. After suffering personal tragedies, the three brothers barely speak to one another.

Until River.

When she runs away from her abusive foster home and notorious past, she crash-lands into Noah’s arms. She should feel safe with him, but she is attracted to guys more broken than she. And his brooding brothers Nathan and Jake wait patiently to catch her when she falls. Her relationship with each jeopardizes the precarious balance of their troubled family, and she will either mend their wounds or break their hearts.

Kiss the Boys is psychological romantic suspense, containing explicit sex and covering dark subject matter. This is the second book in the Lost Girls Collection. The first book is Blackout (steamy psychological thriller) by Chris Myers. Each of these books is a standalone. 

*Copy was received from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.*

SPOILER FREE REVIEW

I rated it 3/5 stars

"There's nothing human to hurt us, only my memories." 

I can't say I love this book, but it isn't a bad book too. I enjoyed it rather well and with just enough curiosity to turn the page.

Nate is just screaming for sex. He has this strong appeal that simply draw women to him and get down on their knees. Just by the description of his physicality, the reader would be drawn to him.

A family with 3 sons who barely get along, the life of rich people in art museums, a basketball star in high school about to go pro, an ex soldier who lost a leg, a best friend, and a girlfriend, an orphan.

If you're looking for steamy bed scenes, and things that keep you warm at night then I'm sorry to disappoint because this book isn't it. The characters try to find the light in their dark universe and it's inspiring to see them work hard to reach the surface. Sometimes I feel for them, their pain, their hopelessness, but we know that there's always that one person who refuses to sink with the ship.

The writing looks like it's been written by an amateur, so are some parts of the story. Other times it just seems too exaggerated and unrealistic. If it wasn't for the different world that Nate and River live in I would have stopped reading. But it's because of Nate being a famous artist, him, River, and Jake being survivors, it gives me a glimpse of how people with their same experiences or challenges live. It's new information for me and I'm always on the hunt for new information.

Book Review: Captive of a Commoner

Captive of a Commoner by C.J. Pastore

Publishing Date: October 1, 2016
Publisher: New Rose Press
Synopsis from Goodreads:

Can love penetrate an abusive past and defeat unwarranted guilt?

Alicia Cesare has a lot to celebrate. A recent Parsons School of Design graduate and recipient of a fashion design award, she embarks to Europe on a quest for independence and recognition. Instead, she finds trouble and mayhem and must accept the help of ex Marine and real estate magnate, Chase Reardon, the only man she’s ever desired. Problem is he barely knew she existed. That is about to change. 

Like a lit match to a firework, rash innocence ignites fierce overprotectiveness and a sizzling romance develops, but Chase is a haunted man. Scarred by an abusive past and stalked by the vengeful head of the Russian drug cartel, he struggles to follow his heart while safeguarding those he loves. When Alicia is unwittingly thrust into his web of relentless violence, Chase is determined—at any cost—to protect her from his past. 

As each new sexual awakening binds her closer to him, Alicia is convinced she must help the love of her life defeat the ghosts of his past. It will prove to be an unyielding test of courage and stamina. 

SPOILER FREE REVIEW

*Copy was received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*

I rated it 5/5 stars
“Green sparks confronting blue stormy seas. Fire and water. Opposites in so many ways but the same where it really counts. Love. Empathy. Concern. And knowing that we’re home in each other’s arms. I feel it. He feels it.”

A girl with a huge and long term crush on her brothers’ friend. A guy who has a dark past that haunts him to his future. Luxury, money is not a problem. A friendship bond made by blood. Sex in places you never thought possible. If these things don’t get your attention then I don’t know what will. It’s like 50 Shades of Grey but only better, much, much better.

I love this book and since this is the first installment to a trilogy I can honestly say that I will be looking forward to reading the rest of the series. This book has its ups and downs but I really enjoy most of its attributes and especially the story. 

Chase and Alicia have this bond where they understand each other so much and would easily be on the same page (sometimes). Also Chase’s corny jokes and sex comments always make me laugh. I’m pretty sure I’ve never laughed so hard reading an erotic book before nor any book for that matter. 

“You and I may have grown up in the same town, but we came from different worlds.”

Alicia has accepted Chase’s past but it seems like Chase doesn’t believe that she’ll be able to understand and cope with his problems. To save a dear friend Chase had put someone in jail and when that person got out he was seeking for revenge. And what better way to have revenge than hurting the people he cares the most. Family, friends, girlfriend, spare no one just to get back at Chase Reardon.

“Problem is, even in fairytales there’s evil.”

Part of knowing someone is after her boyfriend, Alicia thought she would never have an easy life with him. But no fairytale is complete without the villain right?

I’ve been on the edge of my seat while I was reading this book because I always get worried and wonder whether there’s going to be a trap or something bad might happen. The story isn’t predictable for me I have been surprised countless of times. I think this book felt very long but it wasn’t bad at all. I can’t wait to read the second book.

I highly recommend this book to my friends. I’ve even started telling them about my feels and excitement for this book. It’s gut wrenching, exciting, painful and humorous.

SPOILER ALERT

Now I’ll break down the story so I can say the things I didn’t love about the book. It would spoil others of the story so I placed it all in the Spoiler Section (but not all below here are bad comments).

1. They had sex once and the next day Chase was all like, ‘I’m in love! We will be together forever.’ There was no build in their relationship, unless a plot twist happens where Chase has been crushing on Alicia for so long too. I would have loved to see that build but I understand that it would take too long and just drag the story.

2. “I like being able to pay. For too long that wasn’t the case.” This line helped me understand why Chase is the way he is and it may seem like he’s throwing away money of Alicia but he’s only doing what he couldn’t afford to do while growing up.

3.The surprise before Alicia’s award night killed me to the bone. I wasn’t expecting him to be in her room waiting for him and with a complete outfit!

4.Alicia is always jumping to conclusion that they’ll break up every time they fight. She sounds very childish every time it crosses her mind. It’s just a fight and things will work out eventually. She knows Chase loves her yet she still has doubts on their relationship.

5.I always worry when Alicia is alone because I think that something bad might happen to her and Chase would lose his shit.

6.Shoutout to Herman for being part Filipino!

“Everything about you is beautiful. I missed you so much it hurt to breathe.” Young relationship problems.

The cliffhanger was the worst. It may not seem like a cliffhanger to you but I badly need to know what happened to Dimitri and Fiona.
