The Magic of You (Malory-Anderson Family, #4) By Johanna Lindsey

The Magic of You by Johanna Lindsey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series is getting better and better, I have to thank my friends Eden Creed for introducing me to Johanna Lindsey, so far I'm loving her books.

Amy was such a refreshing heroine, she literally lightened the atmosphere in any scene in the book. What I loved about her was her boldness, brazenness more like it, I have read my fair share of bold strong-minded heroine but Amy was totally different, she took boldness to a totally different level, going after her man like that, which had me going "You go girl". I loved how likable she was, how comfortable she was with the other characters like Jeremy and such.

Warren was another matter entirely, he was gruff, mean, and on time downright cruel. He kept refusing her, taunting her, thinking all kind of possibilities why she was after him, first from her being practically a "bitch in heat" to her being pregnant and wanting him to marry her, then wanting him to have sex with her so he Have to marry her. Honestly there wasn't a thing I would have changed in this book, not even the days that went on with him avoiding or ignoring her, it just made the book more worthwhile. Especially the scenes when he's so set against her, and then the next second he either full of jealousy, or pulling her to him or falling to his knees (Personally my favorite *snickers*)

- I loved how everything worked out for the previous characters and how they are settling in.

- Jeremy is one of my most endearing characters, that's why I liked how well he fitted in with the rest of the family and even becoming Amy's best friend.

- I liked how the two pirates that worked for James in his ship now working as his butlers, oh how I wish I could see Arty and Henry XD

- I liked that Chinese guy who's was like their prison guard "Taishi" or something, he was funny, and I would have loved if he really left with Warren and started to work in their household.

- Yeah the two young uncles, are like a comedy duo they are just so funny I can't help myself from grinning whenever they are mentioned

- One last thing I especially loved the spanking scene XD

Overall, *thumps up*

Asshole teacher

Well here goes the story of one of my teachers at Uni when he turns from boring to jerk ...

Once Upon a Time ...

There was one boring teacher, he used to keep on talking and talking nonesense the whole class, honestly after 3 monethes since the beginning of the semester I still don't have a clue what the class is all about.

On my second test in that class, the whole class got better marks than the first one so obviously we were all like ...

But then Mr.Jerk said that since we gt better on the second he will put more weight on the first, and of course we were like ...

I just had the urge to turn violent, it was a shitty move from his part and I don't doubt that my classmates had the same urges ... To bash his head on something ...

Oh how wonderful it would feel, but for now my classmates are badgering him till he succumbs ... 

The End ... So far

Gentle Rogue (Malory-Anderson Family, #3) By Johanna Lindsey

Gentle Rogue by Johanna Lindsey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was the cutest book I have read in a very long while (re-reads not withstanding), and the best Malory book so far, and to tell the truth its way better than the previous two.

Georgina was a funny character and immensely amusing to read, one of the reasons that endeared the Malory family to me is that they were a big brood, and an addition to another brood was a big welcome, I loved her relationship with her brother and with Mac, it reminded me of Regina from the first book. She was a bit over-confident especially at the beginning but I guess James remedied that XD

James was the typical hot-sexy-bully-pirate, he practically oozed sexy, especially with that gold earing of his. He was mischievous and horny most of the book, but mostly amusing honestly, even when he did mean stuff to her, like telling her brothers that she was his mistress when she was right there. I thought that was over the top a bit, but when he told her the reason later I just loved him all the more, he had a way for apologizing at the end that made d two thing *drool & sigh*

This story was lighthearted honestly, and pretty interesting and funny, the sarcastic and taunting remarks that some characters said made me laugh so hard that people started looking at me as if I turned crazed. One of the best scenes that I liked is when Jeremy dragged her home with him, she trying to pull a way and started to kick him, then discovering that he tried to protect her was just adorable.

Tender Rebel (Malory-Anderson Family, #2) By Johanna Lindsey

Tender Rebel by Johanna Lindsey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was disappointed in this book, I expected more for dear uncle Tony, and I realized from these two first books that there is a pattern, at least one main character is an ass, and in this case it's the dear lady.

I still loved Anthony in here, even thought he acted mean most of the story in retaliation, still I felt him sweet and loving, even in moments when he was giving her a lesson he could help but be tender and devoted to her.

Roslyn in my eyes was a self-centered bitch, I know that I sound mean, but she deserved what she got, her circumstances not withstanding, I read about more desperate circumstances that hers. Since the beginning she was judgmental and distrustful with Anthony, and I hated when she was making the decision she kept saying it's not fair when he treated her like that making it sound as if it was His fault! I really had an intense urge to slap he face and pull her hair (and I'm the peacemaker in my family). She kept getting made at him over nothing and making everything his fault, he's the problem, he's the unfaithful, he's the one who shouldn't be trusted, he's the pauper, all him never her.

I was really disappointed at the ending, it was not satisfactory, she got way too easily with her action. first she didn't trust him accused him of adultery, then made some idiotic rules that cause them to drift more apart, just like that with a simple letter from his brother ad couple of tears from her and he's like it's okay now! are you fucking kidding me?! She should have trusted him from the beginning, if not his actions should have spoken for themselves. I was fuming most the time, hating her reaction and attitude toward Tony when he was innocent from all accusations.

Love Only Once (Malory-Anderson Family, #1) By Johanna Lindsey

Love Only Once by Johanna Lindsey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a great opener!!! Johanna Lindsey certainly knew how to begin a delightful story, form the main characters to the introduction of the rest that will follow, unlike some opening books where some authors focus on the background story and lose sight of the events and characters of the current book.

I of course loved Regina, not at first but I grew to admire her gumption. Of course I loved the rest of her family and her connection and attachment to them, especially the four uncles, they were all just adorable. At first I thought her a spoiled brat, but oh how she proved me wrong. if I was in her place I would have done it all differently, and I'm not ashamed to say that I wouldn't have had her steel backbone, for not all women would stand and tolerate what her beloved  *snort* husband did to her and still stand straight and face him, take over his home and not resort to her family. I guess the thing I would have done the same and wouldn't change it for the world is that when he dumped her at his home and was about to leave she never told him about the baby, no matter that he was supposed to know about his son, if he didn't want her then so be it, she did the right thing, because if she told them she would have regretted it her whole life thinking she pinned him to her through a child , not love.


Him I totally hated and never sympathized with. Nicholas was a total asshole through and through. He wasn't like usual male characters, where his past was a huge mess that tormented him to act that way.The things he did to Regina were despicable from their engagement till they finally got things straitened out. His Bastardy wasn't that big of an issue, is character was the type that didn't care what society thought he even said so at the beginning of the book, but he contradicted himself throughout the whole novel. He wants but pushes her away, he wants he but seek other women, he wants her but leave her at the wedding night, he wants her but left her for over 6 months, he wants her but fights her.But I never hated him more until when he came back and thought the baby wasn't his, all I could think of was Fuck You.  He keeps saying that he always regrets whats he said or done to her, but it couldn't help she will hate him just because he was a bastard. But I have to admit and give him some credit to his feelings for her, even though reluctantly, he did love her, his reaction when her uncle James who still was Captain Hook t him told him that he kidnapped her was praise worthy, and at the end after they patched things up and cleared the skies from any other misunderstanding his behavior changed a great deal you can say he unleashed his feelings for her since she knew the whole thing now and didn't give a damn.

What I really liked was the Mallory family, they were so lively and loving and protective of each other, just how they all were doing everything for Regina was proof enough, and I loved that the ref was mended between the brothers, the scene where Anthony met Jeremy and was shocked to see him so identical to him and then suddenly was pulled in to a bear hug and he hugged him back I just went Ahhh~

All I Need Is You (Straton Family, #2) By Johanna Lindsey

All I Need Is You by Johanna Lindsey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Johanna Lindsey's novels are starting to be more promising by the minute, since I'm liking the first series I read from her, I can't help but look forward to the next.

Casey was the daughter of Courtney and Chandos the main couple of the first book, she takes after her father in everything, in both looks and temperament, but that never stopped her being close to her mom which I thought was a nice touch because the differences between them didn't cause a drift or favoritism of a sort and I found her stubbornness is a bit over the top especially leaving her family home after a huge tantrum and wanting to prove herself only to work as a bounty hunter and no one noticing that she was a women , I thought that particularly far fetched a bit.

Damien was a bit of a fashion stuck up, I liked his insistence for vengeance, it reminded me of Chandos a bit, so I guess we can see a pattern here. couple of things annoyed me, which made me a tad protective of him, since obviously I'm a city girl, I hate it when people judge others just cause they hail from the city and don't know something doesn't make them useless, cause that's what Casey did for the most part of their journey, and her father did too, cause they kept thinking and making assumption that Damien can't take of himself, and Casey feeling that she's like a mother taking care of her child, oh pleeeeeeeeeeeez. Another thing, I haven't read about any guy main or secondary who blushes as the author made Damien blush here, it was annoying actually, keeping on reading about him blushing every time he couldn't do something.

A Heart So Wild (Straton Family #1) by Johanna Lindsey

A Heart So Wild by Johanna Lindsey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Recently one of my friends in GoodReads recommended Johanna Lindsey To me, and this is my first novel by her, and I have to say I liked it ^^

Honestly, at first I got confused because the first couple of chapters didn't involve the main characters much, for a bit I was like "Am I reading the right book?" But then I started to understand, when events started to explain themselves.

I liked the main characters, Courtney "Cat eyes" started off timidly at first, but during the journey and 24/7 presence of Chandos with her rubbed off on her, and she started to grow more bolder, more braver. I loved her moments she faced off her kidnappers both times.

In here Chandos felt to me a bit cruel, not the ones that derive pleasure from physical cruelty , but the type that distance himself from others while hurting them with his words, but he did have his physical moments as well, like his first night with her when he wanted to teach her not to trust anyone, even him. Plus his first time he saw her, when he pulled her hair, but after that I liked the part when he kept a bit of her hair with him these last four years.

I looooooooooved the ending part, when she met his father, then her father, then he came back for her and finally confessing to each other, if only there was an epilogue *sigh "of regret" * XD

My Addiction to Certain Songs

Are you the type who gets so into a song that it's the only one he listens to for a week or two? Well, I am. I don't know hwy I just can't seem to help it: I like it, I listen to it after a week I still listen to it. But it's not just any song I like the ones that their lyrics make sense, in a way have feelings in them.

The songs I'm addicted to currently are:

• Love Runs Out By OneRepublic

• Counting Stars By OneRepublic

• Just A Dream By Nelly

Akatsuki No Yona Opening

I loved the opening of Akatsuki No Yona, it summarize the whole story ^^, plus as I mentioned before the animation gives proper credit to the manga

• Princess Yona

• Hak

• Soo-Won

• Yoon

The Four Dragons:

• The White Dragon "Kija"

• The Blue Dragon "Shin-ah"

• The Green Dragon "Jae-ha"

• The Yellow Dragon "Zeno"

Do You Believe in Love?

From time to time I wonder how can I be an addict to Romance HEA books but be skeptical of the existence of true love.

Personally I don't think that love exist, I do believe that extreme liking exist but not love, not the kind we read in books, the everlasting one that only increase with years.

The kind that people fight for, challenge for, never leg go of.

The kind that provide constant companionship, and devotion.

The kind that doesn't care about the surface, but the one that cares about what's deep down

But I don't think that kind does exist, it's only in books and movies, I only see that the real world full of people who lie, cheat, who are judgmental and superficial.

So Do you Believe in Love?

My Key Chains

My Key Chain Collection 

I have a weakness for key chains, and some of the ones I have were over 8 years old, they spent longer years with me than most people I know ^^

1000 Origami Cranes

1000 Origami Cranes

"Thousand Origami Cranes is a group of one thousand origami paper cranes held together by strings. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. Some stories believe you are granted eternal good luck, instead of just one wish, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. This makes them popular gifts for special friends and family. The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures (others include the dragon and the tortoise) and is said to live for a thousand years: That is why 1000 cranes are made, one for each year. In some stories it is believed that the 1000 cranes must be completed within one year and they must all be made by the person who is to make the wish at the end. Cranes that are made by that person and given away to another aren't included: All cranes must be kept by the person wishing at the end."

At first, I started it as a whim to waste time, then slowly it was all I could think about and do. Eventually I reached 865/1000 then I went in to a slump and currently waiting for when I get the feeling to continue the rest ^^

Naruto's End

Naruto Finished after 15 years of publication, all I have to say is that I loved it, some evil members of my family used to tell me that Naruto will end with the death of Naruto, My only reaction was:

But thankfully it he survived as I predicted, and had a happy ending, I have to admit I have a thing to couple up guys in any series or anime or manga I read, and My Most Favorite Couple: Sasunaru.

The ending certainly had a huge Sasunaru moments which I can certainly appreciate ^^

The only thing I regret that it was a straight anime with a straight ending *sigh* well it's nothing I can do about, but I sure as hell I'm going to be lonely

Bad Luck Comes in Threes

You know the saying that says that bad things don't come alone they usually come in three's? Well I starting to believe that, but in my case it's: bill's come in threes

1. My laptop: it recently fell and when I took it to be repaired they told be I need to pay 400 
2. My friend is getting herself married and I have a bridal gift to buy for her bachelorette party 
3. There is a man I bought something from and soon I'm going to get it but I'm virtually broke

I'm so sad and I needed to vent a bit

Oh yeah plus my exams are close and I'm working in 3-4 projects, so I guess they DON'T just come in threes

Mystique By Amanda Quick

Mystique by Amanda Quick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is one of two by Amanda Quick that deals with Medieval Historical Romance, and personally I prefer this one over Desire.

In here I liked the characters, they had a comfortable balance between brilliance and idiocy, both the male and female character had their moment where they needed a throttle, a pat on the head or a kiss.

- My favorite character in here was Sir Erasmus, though he didn't get much of an appearance but his character outline itself appealed to me immensely

- I loved how Alice kept on going in to the rescue, especially with rival neighboring-related cousins

- I liked the scene when the supposed to be enemy came to pay a call and stayed over XD they really seemed to get along very well XD

Desire By Amanda Quick

Desire by Amanda Quick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm sorry to say that I have read better books by Amanda Quick than this one. My complains are based dolely upon the characters nothing else, the writing, the mystery and the thrill of the events were as expected of Amanda Quick.

For one I really didn't like Lady Clarre, she kept on rejecting Gareth since the beginning, and she didn't even have a sound reason for that. Plus she kept on saying she hates over-bearing brutes , but to me she was the one who seemed over-bearing, opinionated, fast-tempered and judgmental. At the beginning I sympathized with her, on how she didn't have any choice but to marry a stranger, and then everyone thinks that she's not a virgin anymore, but through most of the book I just wasnted to throttle her neck.

On the other hand, I just wanted to kiss Gareth, he was so sweet and gentlemanly, even though he didn't look it, he was as much of a scholar as her father, and more of a knight than anyone she knew. I hated when she fought him on every turn, especially when it was his area of expertise, she DEMANDS him to ask her permission so that he can do whatever he wanted to do, everything was hers, and she didn't stop and think that she MARRIED now so everything must be shared and they are equal partners.

And Again Gareth was so sweet all the gestures he did for her sake, and the last chapter was the best of all. Oh and his scene with his men after his first time bedding his wife in a bed of rose petals XD

Never Seduce a Scot (The Montgomerys and Armstrongs, #1) By Maya Banks

Never Seduce a Scot by Maya Banks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved the book as a whole, even reading spoilers didn't ruin it for me, no it actually made me want to read it more. This is my favorite book by Maya Banks, I just couldn't help myself but to read it a second time, but since I only read 2 of hers that surly limits the competition XD

I loved the hero in the book, he was so gentle and sweet, and all he did for the heroine was *sigh* even when they first met and he was supposed to hate her and pity her, he couldn't help himself but to like her. he was a different and rare kind of hero, one who sought a deeper level of connection between him and another person, not just platonic sex. All his moments with the heroine were beautiful I just can't decide on a favorite.

All I can say to summarize my idea of the heroine is that she's one hell of a girl, I really admired her. How she stood up for herself against all the prejudice and menace that was thrown at her, the little lioness she became when her husband was in danger, Eveline was a true imagine of a brave, warm-hearted loving woman.

I specially liked the ending part how all of them got along with each other and all XD

Overall, *thumps up* the book was so adorable and cute, it's worth reading and re-reading

Fangirling about Akatsuki no Yona

"Since Yona is the only princess of a grand kingdom, she has been raised with great care by her doting father and protected by her childhood friend/guard Hak and others. However, her fate changes on her 16th birthday, when her beloved cousin Soo-won murders her father to claim the throne. She flees the castle to Hak's hometown and begins her new life."

I just Looove it!! when I first read it as a Manga I got addicted, I tried for months to convince my friends to read it, but does anyone gives a damn to what I say? No. Anyway this Fall it started as an anime and Now they come to me to say how awesome it is .. Serves them right, both anime and manga are amazing anime, they have their different attractions.

I just can't wait for the official manga to be translated in to English, I'm so in love with it I could .. could .. I don't know I just love it XD

Personally I loved Yona from the manga more, in the proper moments she looks more intense, and I love Hak either ways.

Reckless By Amanda Quick

Reckless by Amanda Quick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It was yet another great book by Amanda Quick, it contained love, adventure and mystery. I have to say that I loved it, it was humorous, and in a way different, the heroine could be counted as a different type of usual blue stocking, one who is in to literature.

I loved the main couple, Phoebe was the humorous element in the story, her antics and adventures was what made me smile most of the time, especially her family's and her husband's reaction t it, specifically the scene when he had a bet with her brother if she stayed home as ordered, and then he added it to her allowance. but there was a moment were I hated her when she seemed suspicious of Gabriel and didn't ooze the amount of confidence to convince him that she trusts him.

Mostly throughout the story I felt sorry for Gabriel more than Phoebe, he had to protect himself and his heart for a long while that he truly believed that he is not capable of love and doesn't believe in it, all his interactions with people who were supposed to love him, left him doubting the emotion itself.

I really really loved the book, since the beginning I knew that Lachlan was more than he seemed but man he's awesome and I sort of understood Bella's pain and desperation for her daughter but she knew to differentiate a bluff from a real threat.
Anyway I totally loved it, it was worth readying
