Ink Reunited (Montgomery Ink, #0.6) By Carrie Ann Ryan

Ink Reunited by Carrie Ann Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heey ^^ this certainly was new, this is my first Triad book, well the official one anyway (since I sneaked a peek at couple of threesome books before but never read them as a whole book, can't blame a girl for being curious XD)

I wasn't enthusiastic about it at first with them leaving each other 10 years ago, and now they are back. All the emotions and hurt and the angst is what made me balk at first, and I was glad they reached an understanding between them.

- I was glad that many people accepted them not just the Midnight family about also Rafe's family, since it's typical for most families to deny their children where as families not-of-the-blood (long version of friends, but wanted it more dramatic, and in those cases they were a family), but I'm glad they were ok with it.

- And I'm not ashamed to admit that the whole threesome thing was hot!! XD

- Hated her dad for what he did, he was a total asshole, I just wished that Ian already went ahead and crushed him.

A Loving Scoundrel (Malory-Anderson Family, #7) By Johanna Lindsey

A Loving Scoundrel by Johanna Lindsey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Since forever I've been looking forward to Jeremy's story, actually since his introduction in book 1, because it's known he's not the first bastard in the family, but he was one with unusual background and was suddenly found and was instantly adopted by the family. ^^

The whole book was entertaining and intriguing, and what I liked most about it, that it didn't focus solely on the mystery part of the book, regarding Danny's past or about just the romance between the main couple, but instead it also shined on the complete book as a whole, how a girl from the slums starts working in a higher class bachelor residence, how she starts to adjust and adapt, how the couple get to know each other, how she meets people, how she goes places and learn things for the first time, and how Jeremy slowly understands how much she means to him.

The main couple were cute together, and it figures that Jeremy's story would start the same way hi father's story did, with a cross-dressing women XD

- I liked how Danny interacted with all the characters, Jeremy, her friends from the streets, the Mallory's, her household coworkers, she was vastly entertaining, and how everyone could take to her instantly.

- The trick they played on that witch of a girl was a bit ugly but seriously she brought it on herself, and as I said she was a witch, like seriously who goes telling people they got pregnant just to get a guy, and then go pinching rivals out of the way?!

- I liked how her place in the house was settled after she succumbed to his seductions, and that didn't affect how the staff treated her.

- Loved the rat scene, it was hilarious, and then how he went and got her more pets XD

- I liked the last part the most, the reunion scene, but what I liked most was how she always hid behind Jeremy when she was scared or shy or embarrassed, it seemed both his chest and back were good hiding places. Oh yeah forgot to include where the uncles interrupted the confession moment, that was seriously funny considering it was a small scene, but since it included the usual duo of James and Tony then I guess it was to be expected.

The Present (Malory-Anderson Family, #6) By Johanna Lindsey

The Present by Johanna Lindsey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was certainly a holiday treat, though I'm not reading it in the holiday it's meant for XD

I liked how it showed the Mallory clan couple of years after the last book, still together, and still as entertaining as ever.

I liked how the story came to be with all the Mallorys gathering and then all are intrigued with The Present, I liked how it was infinitely connected to Jason's story, and how he finally is getting what he deserves, his happily ever after.

I liked the story of their grandmother, or great grandmother for most, it was intriguing how she lured the Viscount, how he instantly fallen in love with her, how he claimed her, how she was launched into society, how he claimed her again as his wife, and how the Present came to be.

The ending was nice, a happy gathering for a happy family, with happy news ^^

Ink Inspired (Montgomery Ink, #0.5) By Carrie Ann Ryan

Ink Inspired by Carrie Ann Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a cute beginning for what looks like an entertaining series ^^

This short story was cute, the mismatch couple who found their happiness in each, thy only knew each other couple of days yet their love blossomed and progressed. I liked the fact that the heroine literally blossomed under the care of the hero, he didn't demean her by finding her lacking like her Bitch of a mother and he didn't try to change her, he wanted her the way she truly was, to her what she wanted to be.

I also liked the fact that the heroine knew instantly when she tried to lie to him, he knew something was wrong and he didn't back away from it, just so he can keep her by his side, and the fact that he and his people and family don't take crap from anyone is another plus, how they solved the problem deserved a thumps up ^^

Property Of By C.P. Smith

Property Of by C.P. Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved it!!!!!

This isn't my first all nighter to finish a book, but it's my first time being totally engrossed that I didn't feel sleepy or tired in the least, laughed, cried and not any kind of crying but weeping with hiccups and all.

I loved everything abut this book, but especially the main couple, they were so cute and how their relationship kicked off in matter of days.

I loved the hero and his tough your-mine attitude, how he doesn't take crap from anyone and knows what he wants, I loved the heroine with her insane twins and girl gang, her cute response to the hero and her whole demeanor.

- I loved how the heroine was part of a triplet, it made me jealous I want to be in my own triplet too, how her brothers were protective of her, I liked the scene at nearing the end when she went to hug the brothers like all three of them were in sync it made me cry

(view spoiler)[ "The twins were huddled together talking, their attention straying from time to time to look at me. I could see in their eyes that they were angry, maybe even terrified that with Janeane’s disappearance, and Toni and Melissa’s murders, I could be next.
We were as close as siblings could be. When you added in the fact that we were triplets, I knew if the positions were reversed and one of them was in danger, I’d be terrified too. We were an extension of each other, not whole without the other, and if this madman had his way, he’d rip their world apart. Knowing that, and knowing how they must be feeling, I moved to Bo and Finn and wrapped my arms around them both." (hide spoiler)]

- I loved the friendship theme that's been going on, and I truly understand how they are important in her life, how they get her more than she understand herself, the words she used to describe her friendship with her friends struck true to me, because I have my own friends who mean the world to me and I can't imagine losing one of my soul sisters ever.

(view spoiler)[ "It’s often been said if you remained friends with someone for seven years, you’d be friends for a lifetime. After fifteen years with these women, I’d say that’s true. I could go months without talking to them—I have a unique form writer’s block and forget the world around —yet, pick right back up where we left off, never missing a beat. Our connection was forged from love, sweat, and tears."

"Best friends are the people you turn to when your life is going down the toilet, when you need a shoulder to cry on, and who support you unconditionally. They don’t judge you, they hold your hair up when you’ve had too much to drink, and they always make a pitcher of margaritas when they show up at your house to listen to you bitch about men on a Saturday afternoon" (hide spoiler)]

- I liked the author's way of writing, I found it unique and enthralling, making the reader a viewer and a participant in a way.

- I liked the coffee incidents they were cute, and how it wasn't just sparks flying between these two but a whole thunderstorm.

- I liked how he was instantly welcomed into the family, and the brothers finally found someone worthy of their sister XD

- I liked how jealous and possessive the her was especially with the Jose debacle XD

The Spring Bride (Chance Sisters, #3) By Anne Gracie

The Spring Bride by Anne Gracie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finally!! ^^ I waited a long time for this book, ans when I saw a GR friend currently reading it for an instant I could believe it then I found the book too ^^

I had conflicted feelings toward the heroine in here, for a second I didn't liked her, then I was siding with her, back and forth my feelings went throughout the book, till is settled siding with her at the end. First I have t say she's my least favorite of the Chance sisters, the others have more background, like Abby she was the one who took care of all of them and got them to where they are, Damaris was the other kidnapped girl but who had a knowledge of herbs and a mysterious past, Daisy was the maid of the whorehouse who helped getting them away. But Jane was the beautiful one and kind heart nothing else. At first I didn't like tat she was getting married for materialistic reasons, which obviously didn't help in my view of her, but the thing that started improving her position in my eyes was her meeting with the hero in the alley.

I liked how kind she was, to the animals and people, it was obvious she has a soft heart, but her insistence of having enough money to secure her and her kids future was a bit much. Slowly but surely she saw the flaws in her betrothed, when he said that the dog should die cause he's ugly, when he told her to leave the old lady alone because other people were there, when he was scared for his reputation because she was seen talking to a man with Shabby clothes, and when nearing the end of the book with the final straw he pulled she finally saw reason, Smart girl XD

The hero was nice but I think cute more appropriate, not in looks but behavior. He was the flippant devil may care kind of guy, didn't care about the risk, just wanted to enjoy the moment, but then he clipped his eyes on her and everything changed for him. He wasn't like any of Anne Gracie's heros I have ever read so far, first he wanted to talk to her, then get to know her, then when he discovered that she was betrothed he wanted her permanently, I think his love for her was the fast paced kind, everything went so fast for them. Plus he never lied to her, other than what she might presumed about him depending on his clothes, but he even told her his true occupation. I loved how the people who've known him 12 yrs ago believed in him and had his back, if I was in his place I would have cried shamelessly at court just for the fact that those people believed in him and came over to have his back.

- I liked the hero's interactions with William, I literally laughed so loud that my family thought me crazy.

- I love Lady Bea she's so funny and endearing.

- I loved the hero's interactions with his friend Gil and Jane's family especially his meeting with Lady Bea

- I loved the interactions between the sisters, there wasn't much like the first two books, other than with Jane-Abby and Jane-Daisy.

- I felt bad for Daisy, I noticed throughout the whole book, where Lady Bea pushes her to d something and learn something, but all what Daisy is doing is work, plus I know the next book would be about her, since she's the only remaining Chance sister, but I truly hope she would end up with Flynn, they seemed cute together.

Say You Love Me (Malory-Anderson Family, #5) By Johanna Lindsey

Say You Love Me by Johanna Lindsey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this one I certainly took not just a long while but forever to finish this book, I don't know how many months it has been in the Currently Reading section.

The scenario of a well-bred lady becoming a man's mistress was not a new concept to me, and I have read it twice actually, but the thing is that's the react reason that I didn't instantly read this one, the other ones were somehow grimmer which made me imagine that this one would be much worse considering the circumstances the main couple met at. But surprisingly it wasn't!

I liked the main couple, they seemed on the shy quiet type not at all like James and his wife Goergie XD. Though Derek being a Mallory doesn't have a shy bone in his body and given his statement to the family at the end of the book is prove enough, yet he wasn't as crazy as his uncles Tony and James were, and that's why I said he seemed on the quiet side, the Mallory's are crazily bold in some areas men and women alike. Kelsey on the other Hand was the shy type, she blushes a lot and not like Regina who would venture into an subject or any argument yet she's not the timid sort either.

- I liked the awkward moments when she met with Regina, and how she and the rest tried to cover it up.

- I liked the fact that what was in the story wasn't how the synopsis painted it to be, from it I imagined meanness and some ugly encounters, but I'm glad I ended up with them both happy and comfortable, and obviously enfatuated and in love.

- I liked how he was when he was frantically looking for her, how she was strong enough to delay the asshole as long as she did, and how the Mallory's handled his torture, he deserved what he got, that asshole!

- I liked how he instantly knew what he wanted and didn't give up, kept persisting and even announcing it to his family.

- I liked that his father Jason had someone, since book one till book three, I felt sorry for Jason the eldest Mallory, all three brothers loved there wives yet he seemed stuck in a loveless marriage, but I'm glad he loved a women and love her still, what's lovelier is that they are still together and she's Derek's mother.

- I liked how the family quickly accepted the fact, about him and Kelsey, not having a big fight over it.

- I liked how her aunt came in to the picture later, like a general demanding her charge back, and how she still refused to accept Derek just to annoy him, and how everything ended.

- I loved the ending it was beautiful, just wished that there was an epilogue.

A Texan's Luck (Wife Lottery, #3) By Jodi Thomas

A Texan's Luck by Jodi Thomas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well it certainly took me forever to finish this book XD

When I started this book, it seemed to have a similar beginning like the last one, which I didn't like, both couples misunderstanding each other.

I liked both Lacy and Walker in here, they were like water and fire when they fought, one would stay calm when the other blazes, usually it's Lacy but there are times when it was the captain. I liked when they reach an understanding and settle into a comfortable rhythm with each other and then a problem pops up and all that progress would go down the drain, I don't know how many times they decided on a truce XD. I liked how Walker tried to find everything regarding his wife so they can settle more comfortably together without crossing any lines the other might ignite about. I know they had a rough start together but I'm glad to the way everything ended.

- I liked seeing Carter in this book, he was a cute character, and I'm glad he settled in to some sort of friendship with Walker, at least it's the closest thing to a friend, and I liked when he said both Lacy and Nell were family so of course I wants them in his farm XD

- I liked how they were together when they were at the Fort, it reminded me of the Regency books, where the ladies would call on each other during the day and in the evening the couple would go to a ball XD

- I liked the shopping scenes, I bet the Walker became her favorite customer XD

- The countdown tablet was annoying, I knew at the beginning it was for both of them because both didn't want the other around, especially Walker thought it was for Lacy not being able to stop counting the days to get rid of him, but to Lacy it became fr another reason, it became a countdown for her blessed life as a true wife having a true husband to end, she's counting the days so she can have as much memory as she could get.

- Poor Nell, she was such a brave women, I almost cried when her Ranger came and saw her state.

- I liked how Walker always wanted her close, how he always seemed reluctant to leave her, hated not to touch her, well that when they become moooore comfortable with each other.

- I liked when they went to Carter and Bailee's farm,how everyone seemed to me there to the discomfort of Carter, the good parts were Nell getting better, and how Dalton was always by her side, how Walker and the Ranger seemed to become more friendly.

- Loved the epilogou I think it's one of my favorites, it shows us how obsessed they are about each other and how all his soldiers know about, especially when he send 12 escorts to pick her up, or how he rides and rides like the devil to get to her sooner and how they both run in t each others arms like newly wed love birds, even the soldiers like the scene because his armor as a tough mechanic soldier cracks when shes around XD

Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy, #6) By Richelle Mead

Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A beautiful ending for a beautiful series ^^

- I loved all the characters in here even the minor or the evil ones. Of course I loved Rose, Dimitri, their gang of Eddie, Lissa, Adrian, Sydney, and of course Abe, Jeannine, Mikhail, Sonya and Ambrose. Plus when I say evil I meant the Dashkov brothers.

- I loved her friends and family for what they did for her, their unflinching loyalty to her.

- I loved Abe here, he was just so ... so much like Abe XD, I liked him in the jail breaking part, the part when she came back and called him Dad, I really think that this one truly took him by surprise, and when he defended her at the end, and of course him being Abe at the coronation ^^

- I liked the part when Lissa was having her the trial for running for queen, for once being Lissa was intriguing and curious.

- I liked the "Savage" people part, it was funny, and having a man cave takes a totally different meaning in there XD, plus I hoped that their situation would be mentioned to Lissa and that she might do something about it.

- I liked Sonya, and I was happy that she was turned back, she was good from the beginning, and didn't hesitate to help Rose, and was Over the Moon with her reunion with Mikhail, it brought tears to my eyes.

- Ok now Rose and Dimitri were on a totally different dimension than the rest, their explosive attraction was sizzling the air throughout the story, the sparks were flying everywhere. The kiss scene when Rose wanted to run away, the strogoi killing part, the library scene, Dimitri's attitude when they were with the "Givers", and everything after that actually, and before anything happens they admitted they love each other but he won't be the man you takes another man's woman, but I was glad their defenses fell and they succumbed to temptation, and like what Sonya said they lit up when they are together.

- The ending when Rose comes back to court was phenomenal, how she faces everyone with the truth, how everyone trusts her even without knowing all the facts, how they became layers of walls to protect her, and the part where she get shoot even if I already know that she lives I still cried, how now that she saw the faces of her two most favorite people in the world she can die happy.

- The thing about Jill was shocking, take about scary coincidence, she and Lissa had a touchy past I just hope the not just mend old bridges but that they can build new ones.

- The losing of the bond was shocking, What will happen to Lissa now? they were so perfect as a bonded pair, and like Rose not knowing how Lissa feels or thinks is starting to worry me.

- Adrian on the other hand is a different matter, I liked him more and more throughout the series, and felt bad for him when he discovered about Rose and Dimitri, but his last scene was understandable but ... I don't know how to say it, I just hope that he can mend bridges too and become friends with Rose.

Ok I think I covered everything ^^

Overall, *thumps up* an amazing series and worth the read.

Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy, #5) By Richelle Mead

Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series is amazing it has such twists and turns that keeps any reader enthralled.

- I liked the first scene of the book when Rose was still in the academy, the somehow nice yet creepy letter from Dimitri, the Trial exam, the ceremony, even the after party and her dad and all his flirting, and Jill saying goodbye XD

- I loved how Rose developed a friendship with Mikhail considering both know how the other feels since both has their loved one's turned strogoi, and I know his Sonya would return to being a Moroi in the next book I just how I can see the reunion at least.

- I liked how both Eddie and Lissa followed Rose without any hesitation, it shows how deep their friendship is. Especially when Lissa clearly didn't want anything to do with Victor and Eddie not asking any questions even after knowing it might be treasonous, yet some way I didn't like how he turned sulky afterward and giving Rose attitude.

- I was glad that Lissa and Christian were mending the bridge between them, slowly but with progress till we reached the finale at the end with the kiss.

- The turning for Dimitri was ... beautiful. I know I read it not actually saw it but the whole scene seemed beautiful to me, and Lissa's attitude after that was so motherly and beautiful, I understood the jealousy that came over Rose when Dimitri would want Lissa but not her, and I know it's not romantic in the least yet I knew how painful it is for the man you love and always wanted and after everything you did he didn't want you, not just being with him but out of his life.

- I was pissed at Dimitri's attitude after the turning but I understood it, he was so sad and ashamed about what he did to Rose that he don't want to defile her or something.

- At the cafe shop before the guards came for Rose, she and Dimitri somehow reached a draw zone where they were more or less on friendly terms, which was nice for a change.

- I agree with Rose that the evident's against her convicting her to be a murderer were to obvious to be true, but I also liked how Abe was instantly there for her, for a second there I thought that she might choose the other lawyer but I was glad she choose him, somehow every time he promised her something he was so intense and I thought that was beautiful too, because it showed he cared about her that he would move mountains for her, and him being Abe he just might be able to XD

- I was pissed at Tatiana at first with the underage decree but after reading that letter I kinda liked her, and I knew she trusted Rose and believed in her abilities, plus I hoped that Ambrose didn't believe that Rose murdered Tatiana, I liked him he was nice and he seemed to really care about Tatiana, but like Rose him being with her was kinda disturbing to me too XD

Overall, *thumps up* I can't wait fr the next and final book in the VA series ^^

Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, #4) By Richelle Mead

Blood Promise by Richelle Mead
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The action keeps escalating from a book to the next and so far this one has been full of action.

- The thing I think I liked the most was the part where Rose was together with Dimitri's family, the whole part was lovely and cute with how accepted she was, and yet so painful with her delivering the news about Dimitri and all the recollection that she and all of them were doing about him. But overall I loved how they embraced her into their family and everyone keeps telling her that it was no surprise he loved her and her being here was normal like she belonged there with them.

- I liked how Rose found the Shadow-kissed pair and finally found someone who understands what she's going through, somehow it was reassuring that she wasn't alone in that situation. Plus they were a lovely couple XD

- I liked how Rose wsa so hardcore and was in commander status with the unpromised group killing and interrogating strogoi XD

- Dimitri *sigh* had his moments, some moments he was sweet and understanding especially that moments when they talked about his family, but he keeps growing more creepy by the second, giving her jewelry, using her as some kind of a bloodwhore excluding the sex, and taunting her with it. At first I was mad at Rose for keeping up with it, and I wanted her to snap out of it sooner, and when she did realize what she has been doing for the last couple of days I was proud of her. Plus his twisted logic wasn't helping at first he was gonna wait for her to turn by choose, then gave her a deadline and then either she choose to or he turn her by force, and at the end he wanted to kill her, his obsession with her was kinda creepy and scary.

- Avery was a whole different story, even without the spoilers, I didn't like her since the beginning, she had that slimy snake like attitude, and plus Lissa only got worse after she arrived so it wasn't hard t figure out. And I loved the mental battle thing and how awesome it was for Rose to communicate with Lissa through her mind.

- I knew that Abe was Rose's father and the scene where he was saying goodbye to her at the airport and the scarf thingy was cute, but the second she realized that at the ending was totally amusing and hilarious.

- I liked the whole part when she got back to school, how she was reunited with Lissa, how she hugged everyone, how she and Lissa talked things out of their system for hours, and her reunion with her mom too was cute, and how her mom kept talking fondly about her dad, which I found somehow strange since they weren't married and he has been out of their lives for 18 yrs. Plus how the school wanted her back.

- Plus that creepy tune for that the audiobook has for when Rose has this queasy feeling before a strogoi approaches is so surreal that every single time I'm creeped out

Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3) By Richelle Mead

Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book certainly has been intense, and I doubt the next one would be less than that, but here are my thought.

- I didn't liked Rose in her most f the book, because she either was bitchy and grumpy or totally pissed off at everyone and everything, and I didn't like her keeping secrets, she complains that no one gets her but the thing is she's not telling people what's happening to her so that they understand her. sometimes I think she might believe that Lissa can understand her feelings like she does but as they keep saying and she must understand the bond is a one way thing.

- Lissa seemed to me too dependent on Rose, that's understandable since they have been like that since they were kids, but when Lissa had a boyfriend and spent almost all her time with him Rose didn't complain to her about it, but at the end when Rose had to go Lissa was like " You're leaving me?!" and for some reason it sounded selfish to me.

- I liked how Rose was with Eddie they make a nice pair of friends, they understand each other and trust each other's abilities.

- I liked how Christian was with Rose how he trusts her and believes in her never doubting her sanity or ability.

- Of course the parts with Dimitri were in half, the first half of the book was all understandable and like the previous books, well normal I would call it, but the send half was all lovey dovey, it was obvious to me he wants to spend time with her and that he really cared for her plus in this book he was the one doing all the moves XD

- I loved the fighting scenes the one that started with her and Christian teaming up then the big one, it was obvious she was depended on, but at the end of the fight I couldn't stop crying at her pain, the writer has a way of making the all the dying and sorrowful scenes real that I see myself crying at those and really see them as if they are happening right before my eyes.

- I liked the Mason ghost thing, how the relationship develop till at the end when she was saying goodbye to him I cried for the Mason who isn't going to be there anymore.

Frostbite (Vampire Academy, #2) By Richelle Mead

Frostbite by Richelle Mead
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I know some people would think I might ruin the book for myself when I read spoilers, and sometimes I might agree with them, but not here, aaaaaand it's not like I can help it, I just have to know some basic facts before starting a book or a series, and sometimes more than just basic facts XD

I knew from the start what's going to happen in this book, the bad stuff and the worse stuff, but it still didn't detract from it's essence XD (A bit fancy I know but that's the truth) and the good part was even if I knew stuff the summary I read was just that a summary of the book with the main events highlighted not the whole thing. For one thing I didn't know we will get the chance to meet her mom.

- I think I prefered the previous book to this one since it looked more darker. I didn't liked how Lissa wasn't how she used t be with Rose, just because she got herself a boyfriend it didn't mean you can neglect the people who care about you and have risked their lives for you, because that's what I have seen here, she basically ignored Rose and whenever Rose wanted to vent to her or talk they end up talking about Lissa which I know is Rose's fault as well but it still bugged me.

- I didn't liked Rose much here too, with the jealousy part, I knew why she hooked up with Mason and I'm glad she realized what she's doing to him is wrong, but here in this book she seems to be engulfed in darker emotions, for frequently than naught.

- I was surprised that we would get introduced to the mother so soon but I liked the interactions between them and how it ended at the book, with the white flag and all.

- I liked that Mia got closer to their circle, and I hope we see more of her with them in the other books

- The most important part to me was the last fight scene at the end of the book, I liked Mason since book one, how he really did care about Rose and how he understood her and did things for, and when I saw how he died I just couldn't stop crying, the whole scene I just can picture it happening right in front of me and I cried and cried. Him lying of the ground motionless, Rose not believing and dispassionately killing the two strogoi and then ending up being alone with him not letting anyone close to him lying on his chest I just felt pain and pain and more pain.

Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) By Richelle Mead

Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I started this series after watching the Movie that was based after this book ^^

There wasn't much difference, both were good actually, and the fact that I know what happens in this book didn't ruin it for me, in fact I was interested in seeing what's difference is in here. Sure there was some differences but not much, some sentences that were awesome in the book weren't in the movie and some scenes were shifted but that didn't make much difference.

- I like the relationship between the two best friends, some people might credit it to the bond, and that it's Rose's job as a dhampir to look after Lissa but it's not.

- I liked the thing between Rose and Dimitri, and actually it was my main reason for reading the book ^^ I just wanted to know how they will end up together.

- I'm not a huge fan of vampires, but I really liked this book, it didn't depict the usual things regarding vampires, it made it in to a nicer high school version not the twilight kind XD

Once More, My Darling Rogue (Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James, #2) By Lorraine Heath

Once More, My Darling Rogue by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It took me a while and some encouragement from my GR friend Carol to read this book, and I want to say thanx, at first I hesitated because I didn't like the amnesia theme cause I knew the emotions involved would be confusion, deceit, guilt, sorrow, that's during the amnesia but it's nothing compared to what happens after the memories are back, that's why I didn't want to feel or read angst.

- I loved the both the hero and the heroine, they had their bad moments but they were both good at heart. The heroine uses her cold blue-blooded veins as a facade to keep her darkest secrets hidden, abusing the hero and staff at first which I'm sure made everyone not like her. The hero using the amnesia as a weapon to deceive the heroine and seek his revenge for previous mistreatment. So both didn't have totally pure hearts and attitudes but who does they are human after all.

- I noticed since the beginning that the heroine had a thing for the hero even before the amnesia, for who notices the shape and color of every aspect of their enemy, like eyes, shoulders, hair, and smile, Seriously!

- I didn't like the deceit myself but at first I thought she had it coming, but not for long.

- I liked the zoo aspect that the house turned to XD

- I loved how they were together, they were adorable especially when he succumbed to her regarding the animals.

- Loved the father-son scene with the watch, I literally teared up.

- Loved how they got back together, so publicly ^^

- As usual loved the epilogue

The Heiress Effect by Courtney Milan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another beautiful book by Courtney Milan ^^

At first I has my qualms regarding the book, so I didn't start it off with much enthusiasm, but soon I was intrigued.

- I loved both main characters, but I think the heroine is my favorite, how she sacrificed everything about herself and she did sacrifice HER self for the people around her, especially her sister. I loved her bravery and courage how she bluffed her way in their midst for years, knowing their opinion of her and not giving a fig.

- The hero on the other hand had was good but in a way self-centered, not the demanding narcissist type, but the type who thinks about his ambition and his goals and others slip his mind, like his promise for his sister and how he made the heroine feel about herself. I don't want to bad mouth him because he also had his redeeming qualities, like how he was head on truthful with the heroine which created a safe haven for her with him.

- I Looooooooooooooved the side love story, sometimes I was more interested in it than the main one, maybe because the Indian aspect was intriguing and a new theme to me, I read abut gypsies but never an Indian one. It was cute and adorable and straight to the point.

- I loved how things worked out for them, slowly one step at a time till they eventually were together.

- I'm hesitating about the next book, because the couple of the next book are showing such animosity here that rebuffs be a bit, it seems I need more courage for the next one.

- Loved the epilogue it was a beautiful one ^^

Overall, *thumps up*

Happily Ever Afton By Kelly Curry

Happily Ever Afton by Kelly Curry
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

It's my first time reading a book by this author and I'm sorry to admit that I didn't like it that much, it was good but it didn't leave such a good impression I'm afraid.

From the synopsis I expected it to be more funny and catchy, but it wasn't.

- I'm afraid to say I didn't like any of the characters in this book, especially not the heroine, personally I thought her overly dramatic and over the top kind of reaction wise. And the hero with his self-dugged hole of deceit which was no brainer.

- And the other couple were pushing it a bit too far, though I consider myself a very polite person but those seriously were making me want to just tell them to "fuck the hell away and I don't want to ever see them again" I just can't understand the stamina that the main couple had to keep patient till the very end, and I think the stamina they had for patience is more than their stamina in bed, and that's saying something XD

- I'm glad the ending was fast and smooth without any bumps from the characters that would delay their happily ever after.

Overall, *thumps down*

Dearest Rogue (Maiden Lane, #8) By Elizabeth Hoyt

Dearest Rogue by Elizabeth Hoyt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove Elizabth Hoyt!!!

I think is book is my favorite so far in the Maiden Lane series, The couple were so well suited and entertaining and lovely, I just loved them since they were first introduced together as lady and bodyguard.

- James gave a bad impression at first in the previous couple of books, since he was against our couples and they were considered the outlaws. But of course he showed extreme intelligence and tenacity from books 4 till 6 and especially in 6 we had a closer look into his personality since he assisted the hero at that time and covered for him. In here he was different since the beginning f the book his feelings toward Phoebe were known to us the readers and I loved that he didn't deny his feelings for her or mistook them for another emotion, he faced them head on, the only thing was his extreme self-consciousness regarding their differences and the reasons that prevents them from being together.

- I loved Phoebe since she was first introduced to us, she was so cheerful and sweet. I liked how she was getting bolder and bolder, how she started to stop taking commands from her brother for granted, how she started to stand up for herself, how she stumbled and fell on her own and more especially how she stood right back up with a smile and laughter that shone like the sun, or as James described it XD I liked how she didn't hesitate in her pursuit of James, how she knew she wanted him for him, how she knew he was the one for her, and they were meant to be together ^^

- I liked Alf and I hope later on she gets her own book with her own prince or knight, and I'm looking forward to the next book, it certainly is has as interesting couple, with the heroine being the duke of Montgomery's sister, and him being the way he is.

- The Duke of Wakefield was a bit of an overbearing general, with all the commands and stuff, and I'm happy that Phoebe stood up to him about her freedom, and how later James did the same thing XD

- I liked the fact that the duchess backed up and supported the couple.

- I liked how the couple took right away with being a married couple XD how she was with his family XD

Overall *thumps up* One seriously can't go wrong with an Elizabeth Hoyt book ^^

When the Duke Was Wicked (Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James, #1) By Lorraine Heath

When the Duke Was Wicked by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lorraine Heath, book by devastatingly beautiful book is becoming one of my favorite authors, the type I put in my mind on a pedestal, the type that their writing contain all the elements I love in books.

This is my second series by her, after reading The Scoundrels of St.James, which was a beautiful series about the parents of the heroes or heroines of this book.

- I love the originality of her dilemmas how she bring to light issues that people tend to ignore because it doesn't concern them or their immediate circle.

- In here I found the hero a very stubborn man, keeps on repeating the same mantra again and again, that he can't love again. But to me it sounded as a warning or a reminder that it's not like he's not capable of loving another woman it's that he's not allowed to, to honor his died wife and child. I'm glad for the appearance of the heroine in his life, in a way that the author pictured perfectly he started to move, even though he was rusted and creaking but he moved.

- The heroine here was wild and daring, she knew about rules but deliberately sought to break them, she was quiet the feminist. She was bold and again daring, from the hints since the beginning of the book, I sensed that she was being daring for a reason like she doesn't have enough time and she wants to try everything. After finishing the book I admire her, her survival at what she suffered during her time wasn't something should be taken lightly, and how she faced everything head on was something truly to be admired and sought to achieve.

- I liked their awkward and humorous conversation about the male anatomy XD

- I liked the moments that all the people from parents to siblings to cousins were included in this book, in a way I'm seeing all the characters from The Scoundrels of St.James through a time skip and I know that the couples lived for long and were happy.

- I loved Lorraine Heath's epilogues, I love how it shows us that the couple lived together for a long time and were happy, that they were still together through thick and thin, that they had their children and saw them grow up, that they did grow grey and old together.

Overall, *thumps up*

The Last Wicked Scoundrel (Scoundrels of St. James, #5) By Lorraine Heath

The Last Wicked Scoundrel by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A beautiful conclusion to a beautiful series ^^

I had my hopes that Winnie would end up with Graves and I'm happy she did, cause she needs some gentleness in her life, and from all the previous books Graves was known of his gentleness.

- Liked both characters, Graves for his desire toward Winnie that he held back for almost 3 YEARS! and how he boated her confidence, and of course the unflinching loyalty between the scoundrels/ Fagean's lads XD. Winnie for her determination and backbone.

- Loved the Rowing scene and any comment that included the word "rowing" XD

- I liked how Ms. Heath added a touch of mystery, suspense and humor with the main ingredient of romance t create such beautiful recipe of a book. One of the things I like most about her books is the originality behind the stories, so far I haven't encountered in a single one of them a scene that looked familiar or cliche especially the darkest secret behind each scoundrel.

- Plus here epilogues are lovely they are the kind that assures the reader that the couple did indeed lived happily ever after, mentioning children and old age and such sorts, not the kind that usually found in other books, where it's either instantly after the ending or after couple of months or years.

- I can't wait to start with the next generation XD

Overall, *thumps up* Anyone you is wondering about this series, I guarantee that it's well worth it.

Midnight Pleasures with a Scoundrel (Scoundrels of St. James, #4) By Lorraine Heath

Midnight Pleasures with a Scoundrel by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lorraine Heath is an amazing writer she finds a way to move around words, characters, scenes into different designs that makes every reader enjoys the story even when some elements might be something the reader doesn't like she finds a way to make it all work out fabulously.

- I Loved James, he gave different impressions in each book, mostly a bit distant, like with Luke he followed the orders because he believed it's Luke's due as a lord, then with Dodger he didn't trust him, with Franny he was like a kicked out puppy excluding the exhibitionist portion (still can't get over it XD). But in this book his true colors showed, the previous actions were done but love and complete trust and those misconceptions were by the other members not him. He was so gentle and kind, at first cunning, then he became completely love sick.

- I loved Emma, she was so gentle and sweet, the impersonation part aside, she was lovely, she was the mild tempered gentle sister, and it's my first time reading about a triplet in a book XD. Nonetheless, I can't imagine losing one twin to that ugliness, and what I mostly liked about her is how thought she's tiny and gentle she can be a savage lioness when needs be.

- I'm a sucked fr huge hunky guy with petite women so that's a big plus ^^

- At first I was annoyed with Eleanor cause did she really fell for every guy who complements her, and then she's all snappy at James, but I'm glad how things ended up for her, I just wished that James would have teased the guy some more, since he commented about James love sick attitude couple of times XD

- I loved the courting part, and how each member or their wives reacted when they met her ^^

- Loved how fast things worked between them, they weren't the type to stall or anything and I like that

- The Epilogues are to die for, all happy, all have decades wealth of happiness, every book's epilogues makes more intrigued with the next.

Overall, *thumps up*

Surrender to the Devil (Scoundrels of St. James, #3) By Lorraine Heath

Surrender to the Devil by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm starting to develop a crush Ms. Heath, this series is amazing, at first I didn't realize that it's a sort of parody of Oliver Twist but now I confirmed my doubts and I really think it's amazingly nice

- I have to admit in here I didn't fall in love with any of the characters but I liked them well enough, it's just some of the ideas that are included in this book were the ones I loved.

- Since book one I really didn't like the Duke, and in the beginning of the book he didn't help, being all snobbish and bossy. Plus my thoughts about his dilemma at first weren't of the kind variety, I was like he was turning blind why all the drama, I read books about already blind guys and they kinda adjusted better, but then I felt contrite, I'm in no place to judge since I'm not the one with a timer set to finalize the end of his eyesight. Slowly bit by bit I started to like him, at first I didn't like the idea of his trying to impress her by doing charity and help the boys, but eventually he started ding it for the boys using her as an excuse XD. I liked how he interacted with the boys especially Peter.

- I liked Frannie since book one, since she supported the main characters in their love pursuits. I like her passion about the orphaned boys. And I envy her her relationship with Feagan's lads, and I have to voice my sympathies to Swindler, since he didn't have a chance, but WOW his crush seems more series since he became kinda of an exhibitionist to her and all. I liked her moderate attitude, and when I say moderate I meant that she didn't play hard to get or played to easy to get sort, she knew their differences she knew how it would end and she embraced the results.

- I'm starting to develop a liking to Feagan as well XD

- I liked the scenes with the kids and their interactions with the adults XD

Overall, *thumps up* can't wait to finish this series so that I can jump to the other series regarding their children XD
