Love Me (The Keatyn Chronicles #4)

Love Me
The sweet parts in the book are so sweet. Pinky touching sweet. Hand intertwining sweet. Feather light sweet. The hot parts are soooo HOT. Bath tub hot. Rubbing hot! oh my....

This book makes me doubt. (Like we all haven't been doubting, duh?!) What was clear has became muddy again. It's so hard to write a review for this book without spoiling it. Every single line could be every single clue. And top it with, it was like that for every single boy. Oh my.

Aiden - I had to scream "This is uneffing-believable!!" I mean, when he's sweet, he's so super sweet & chivalrous. But when he's not, he's so frustrating and I'm afraid "that" will push K away for good someday.

Dawson - I can't. I seriously can't say anything about Dawes without a spoiler. We definitely get to know him better. Because he's so honest. I'm so curious to see Team Dawson's reaction.

Brooklyn - Brooklyn's definitely bouncing back. Some traitors in Team Aiden are loving B and I can't blame them.

Vincent - Omfg. He's brought his creep factor to another level. He's desperate but he's smart. It was so scary. Vincent scene always got my heart pumping, adrenaline rushing. Jillian's so brilliant to come up with this.

If last book had Riley as an aww... cute factor, this book is definitely Braxton Johnson. He's hilarious. He cracked me up. But Riley's definitely still there and be such an observant and resourceful best friend. :)

- Pay close attention. Don't miss any line. One blink and things might take different turn! That's my advice for the book. But the ending.. my... nothing can prepare you for the end. Having said that, don't spoil it by flipping to the end of the book first. DON'T!

Jillian always ALWAYS have such a way to end the book. Such a way that you wanna strangle her and scream... NEXT BOOK PLEASE!!! And this ending might just give you a heart attack. Somewhere in the book, my heart stopped. It restarted again at tge end....Be warned. :)

Lick: Stage Drive 1

Lick
I liked reading Lick. Light. Easy. Brought me a smile. And feel like cuddling up with hubby while reading.

Lick got me hooked from page 1. Every emotion well transferred. I felt tight chest for David so many times and so understood his reactions. And they talked. A nice change for a book.
David and Ev talked about their feelings and what they wanted.

I'm still surprised she still couldn't remember how they got married. But heck, Ev's sure one lucky bitch. :)

Arsen. A broken love story by Mia Asher


Arsen

Arsen is a broken love story. 
A broken love. 
A broken marriage. 
The book's message came across very clear. 
Marriage requires work. 
Don't take the love you get for granted. 
Don't take your husband for granted. 
Don't take your marriage for granted. 
Work. Communicate. Try. 
Second chances are not for everyone.

I hope you enjoy the book. 
Mia nails it with messages, emotions.. 
And lighten it a bit with some jokes here and there.

I read Arouse/Allure and fell in love with Dean... 
now reading Arsen... 
ah.. man.. 
I wish I could be sandwiched between the two of them. 
(Though I'm sure they'd go mad.. seeing how obsessive they are!!) 
Best book husbands... ever! 
(sorry Christian, sorry Jesse)

Ben was so darn cute.. 
I loved it when he patted his pussy, 
or was it my pussy? 
or her pussy? 
LOL. 
I wish I married him. 
**sigh**


Collide by Gail McHugh

Collide

I haven't felt myself highlighting sooooo many lines as much as this book in a big big while.

It must be his look. Because they fell for each other since first glance.
"Yes, he was that good looking. Take your breath away good looking. Want to strip your body naked and let him devour you alive good looking. Certified eye candy good looking."

Maybe first it was just the looks, but after knowing him and his witty remarks.
"Well, you're assuming I would cheat on my boyfriend to go out on a date with you, so that right there makes you a cheater."
"I'm hoping you'll break up with your boyfriend and go out on a date with me.. That right there makes me an honest man."
"Honest, no. Conceited, yes."
"I prefer to use the term hopeful."
And his bedroom skills...
"Like, when he calls me, I come." She giggled again. "And I mean, literally. God, do I come. That man knows what he's doing in the sack."

And the pain... of a love triangle.. I can feel his pain.
"Here's to bottle caps, the Yankees and 'birds,' and most of all... to a beautiful girl named Molly who refuses to believe the man who loves her-the man tho loves her more than she'll ever know... Oh, yeah.. and to Emily and Dillon."

And interesting secondary characters..
"I make myself available to any age, race, or gender if given the right opportunity." - Fallon

Stayed up till 4:45 to read. So totally worth it.
Ah.... Gavin Blake... Mr.Tall, Dark, and Fuckable Handsome
Can't wait to read book 2!!!!

Behind The Scene


A little more than a year ago, 
I couldn't find a book to read after Fifty. 
I had no idea what the heck a kindle was. 

Today, 
I read about 7 books a month on average. 
And buy at least 10 books a week. 
My unread pile is HUGE, it's over a thousand. 

I've gone from having no one to talk to about books 
to being a member of a bookclub, 
having several "imaginary" friends to talk to online. 

From having a trepidation to talk to my favorite authors 
now I beta read for some. 
And because of that I learned some "behind the scenes."

I learned that writing is hard working and time consuming. 
It involves lots and lots of work. 
Writing is one. 
Promoting is one. 
Worrying about the rating is another.
Writing requires your talent, linguistic ability, 
vast knowledge about your book subject, 
creative and unique plot. 
(and names?)
you might have to make sure names used in the book don't reconcile with real life people as it's a turn off for some readers a/o bloggers.

Promotion
Web page. Facebook. Goodreads. 
Oh and nowadays, book trailers.

Rating. 
Rating is so everything.
 No matter how much you promote it, 
if a book has got bad rating, it's bad. 
But if it's good, it's really good. 
I for one look at the rating before buying a book. 
I may not read synopsis. 
But I do care for rating. 

I think I can summarize two big conclusions
which sure don't apply ONLY in book world,
but also in real life. 

1. 
You can't please everyone. 
Their opinion depends on their past experience.
Edmund Wilson - "No two persons ever read the same book." 

2.
Be nice, since rating is everything....
One enemy is one too many <3
