Whitney, My Love (Westmoreland Saga, #2) By Judith McNaught

Whitney, My Love (Westmoreland Saga, #2)Whitney, My Love by Judith McNaught
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

FINALLY I'm Done!!!

I kinda missed this XD I haven't read a book in a while now, cause I've been busy with my Uni Finals.

I read a lot of positive reviews and recommendations about this book, but personally I didn't like it that much. Both the main characters annoyed me furiously. The Heroine was a naive dumb stubborn desperate woman, who was chasing after a childhood crush, and I don't think it was even a crush, she was just after the competition with the most beautiful girl in the village and that guy just gt in the middle of the things. The Hero was had his kind side but he simply was one hell of suspicious, distrustful jackass.

Like the previous book in this this series, it was full of misunderstanding from both sides, each kept doubting and misjudging the other, each did terrible things to the other, then they apologize and reconcile ... and then the cycle repeat its self. The misunderstanding concept is such a hateful theme I hate in book, to be truthful I detest it, it just create unnecessary conflicts wherein if these two idiot would just communicated properly and TALKED no one of them would have been hurt.

Overall, *thumps up* its a good book, but it wasn't the one for me

A Kingdom of Dreams (Westmoreland, #1) By Judith McNaught

A Kingdom of Dreams (Westmoreland, #1)A Kingdom of Dreams by Judith McNaught
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Honestly this is the first book that made be hate the Scots. This is my first books by Judith McNaught and I have to say this book was full of excitement and turmoil and bigger dose of angst.

In this book I didn't like or dislike the characters, but aspects of their personalities or some of the things they have done that made me feel frustrated. Like I preferred the Hero over the Heroine here cause she is so blinded by her loyalty to her clan that she ignores her true thoughts, jumps to the wrong conclusions or behave based on misinformation. Even the Hero wasn't a saint he had his faults as well but they were minor to his hurts, he like the Heroine based some of his actions on misinformation, but most of his actions were kind toward her. Even though they were both betrayed or supposedly betrayed several times, he suffered more than she did, and I almost cried for his pain and anguish at the end both the physical and the emotional ones.

Though this book contained more angst than to my liking (Which is none at all, I prefer happy books^^) it still contained humorous elements, like Aric he's my favorite character in here and the Aunt XD oh the aunt was surly something else, there moments together were amazing. Although Aric didn't speak much he emits an aura that compels to the characters and the readers, I loved the bearish hug he gave the Heroine at the end of the book, it was his first sign of gentleness or even minor liking toward her, and the look he gave the aunt when she gave him his Christmas gift for a second I thought he would go on his knees and pay her homage, I bet if she left somewhere he would follow her like how he followed the Hero.

Overall, *thumps up* I'm looking forward to the next book, cause it's the one I honestly wanted to read in this series
