A Book Lover's Bookish Thoughts

Burned Promises by Willow Winters My rating: 5 of 5 stars Gosh, this book was just phenomenal. Despite it being a bit short as compared to my other reads, Winters did not disappoint with character building, plot driving, extension of both characters' lives, and setting. We first meet the female protagonist Emma, who's almost finished graduating uni and living at her sister's house studying for her final year. Meanwhile her sister is busy romancing her boyfriend, friend of Emma's ex-boyfriend Derek, the male protagonist. All in all, it's all going fine, until one day when Emma's sister invites her boyfriend and Derek, who comes face-to-face with his ex-girlfriend and first love. Tension runs as Emma faces Derek and the baggage of his past, trying to better things while reclaiming their love and starting a new life. Meanwhile Derek has his own problems aside from the businesses Emma doesn't approve of. But then Emma makes De...

Cold, Hard & Heartless by M.V. Ellis My rating: 5 of 5 stars This novel was just fantastic. Literally loveable and more than anything in the world. This is after Catching London with Arlo's thoughts this time. Catching London revolves around London and her world solely. Arlo and London have such chemistry, and there's no denial in it. At first glance Arlo knows that not just physically, there's more to London than what she looks like and he wants her enough to know her more. And knowing that they are meant to be together whether London believes it not is Arlo's mission. Arlo and London are so suited for another despite their polar personalities such as Arlo being a no commited man in relationships and believing the worl is filled with crap. London, with her horrible singing (if you have read the novels, you know this is true) but ambitious, caring personality knows that there is some hope in the world. Woah what polar opposities.....

Risk by K.B. Rose My rating: 0 of 5 stars I can't even bother to rate let alone feel the need to point out true feelings for this novel. Where do I start even? Let's see, we first see our main hero, a bodyguard hired by the heroine's father to basically get her back from her "unstable" mother. He agrees and sets off. Next scene we see is the heroine at her mother's house, sneaking out and making negotiations with her father about when she comes back, and heartfelt confessions about why her father treats her mother like garbage. Another scene later, we see the girl reach her mother's house and basically spend time with her and her young boyfrend who is not afraid of showing some interest in the girl herself despite being the boyfriend of someone else. Talk about a scumbag sucking up the girl's mother's love for him. Not the weird thing only though as we also meet another character, a weird girl who spends time wit...

Dropping In by Carrie Quest My rating: 5 of 5 stars Second book in the series written by Carrie Quest. This book was fabulous as heck. We first meet Natalie, a roomate of Piper Easton, Ben Easton's sister, a struggling writer and, a daughter pressured constantly by her parents, and a person who believes that she can never finish anything, a commitment phobe in almost every aspect (her words, not mine). Then an accidental meeting with Ben Easton, as Natalie doesn't realise who he is and throws the satanic pet of a devil, Chuckles (yes the ironic fact), on to poor Ben. Gosh, do I feel bad for Ben. Hope Chuckles let most of him live longer. After the first meeting between both, there are sparks, flames of desire that pull them together and are certainly very hard to resist. It's because Ben's babes say so. And you do not disagree with true information. Soon, they are together but it doesn't mean that it's all roses and sunshine. ...

I Bet You by Ilsa Madden-Mills My rating: 5 of 5 stars Note: I got an ARC copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. DAMN..... Literally my first words when I read the first few sentences of the book. I must confess I haven't read anyone like Penelope in any book. And I must also confess that Ryker was almost like the cliched jock I had met in other books. But for some reason, all I think is whew, what a rollercoaster ride I had with Penelope and Ryker. We first meet Penelope sitting in a restaurant, a waitress, dreaming of a sea-filled steamy romance with a dashing pirate (like her rom-coms in her private stock) but each time, the pirate is someone she hates. Oh such hate. And for that only one human being. Ryker the god of good looks and absolute excellence in sports. And then "garcon!" comes in. Literally. I tell you literally. Clearly, people should have been able to tell the difference between a fille and garcon (a boy ...
