His Kiss by Melanie Marks


No sex, no tounge acrobatics, just plain normal highschool break up and love but got my tummy in knots. I love it.

After read it, I kept saying "its so sweet!" And I'm pretty sure I was bushing.  Now I wanna have a boyfriend...hmmm,maybe. Hahaha

It's the story of Ally, her break up with her almost perfect boyfriend and her 3 minutes of heaven Griffin. Ally and Griffin are so cute. Aly had a huge crush on Griffin and he was already int her even before then but he just stayed away coz she keeps running away from him. I don't know if I like Maiden or not. He's like a dream boyfriend, sweet, sensitive but he's also so...ugh! Can't even think of the right term for him.

This is my first Melanie Marks novel, i'm pretty sure i'll be checking out the others.

Episode: Her Best friends 's brother by TJ Dell

This is a story about a girl crushing/falling in love on her bestfriend's brother and finding herself and about a boy who's supposed to be good wth words except when he's talking to the girl he loves.

This story starts off as just a love story. You know, a girl ikes a boy and he minght .ike her back but not really sure. Libby and Tony's love story is kinda frustrating, i mean this in a good way. They don't easily run into each others arms and live happily ever after. Tony tries to consider their age gap and gives Libby time to experience life on her own. Its good, right. Libby didn't get it though. Can't blame her. They were both not huge in explaining stuff, that what got this story frustrating. I was like "say something!!!". Another thing they touched on was life in college. We have friends, close friends but unlike highschool, we don't go throught the same path. We struggle in finding our own spot, what we are good at, what we love, what we would really wanna become.

Although, i'd have to say, i didn't like that "european adventure". I didn't feel it.  It kinda felt forced, rushed even.

This is a good, easy read. Perfect for those who love light reading especialy those in college.

Episode: After Math by Denise Grover Swank

This book was unputdownable. It gave me the same feel as Beautiful Disaster toned down to 45%. It's like taking milk tea with a lot less sugar. My tummy didn't have knots but i still can't stop reading.

Tucker was a soccer superstar, man-whore and Scarlett was a math major. Tucker tur ns to her for tutoring in algebra and their romance develops from there.

I like tucker. I like that he's able to read through Scarlett and he helps her. I like that he shows us that some people act the way they do coz that's what's expected from them but also easily spots the real people and those who are just there coz he's famous. I like Scarlett coz it hurts reading through her anxiety but once she has found ways to fight it, she doesnt back down.

I hate jason! He was irritating. He's forcing his dreams on Tucker and thinks that anything not soccer related is not good.

Another light reading and its good. I loved it. It probably got me sun burnt reading it under the tiny shade the Starbucks umbrella offered me but i can't move till i finished it.

Episode: Walking Disaster by Jaime McGuire


I read beautiful disaster last December and loved it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to read this coz I tend to get bored reading basically the same story just with the guys feelings inserted. But I'm glad I did. It reminded me how I intense our boy Travis is. it made me feel his desperation and fear of losing Abby. It also explained the "WTF Travis" moments i had in Beautiful Disaster.

I loved it. I love both books. Now the story of Travis and Abby is complete.

Travis is my number 4 book boyfriend tied up with Rush of the Too Far series by Abbi Glines.

Episode: Beautiful Disaster by Jaime Mcguire


I read the filipino edition of the book and fell in love with it. This is the book that made me decide to start reading contemporary again which lead to my contemporary month last February. 

This is a story about Abby and Travis. Abby moved to Penn to escape the trouble with her dad and her drunk mom. Travis is an underground fighter who doesn't do girlfriends till hr fins his pigeon.

Like a lot of stories, it starts out with Abby not wanting anything to do with Travis coz he is the type she has to avoid while Travis has this unexplainable intense attraction towards her. Yes, the main plot is common but the things that happen in between made the story unputdownable. I love Abby.  She's a bad ass. She's not whinny, she's cool, and stands her ground. Travis is hard ass adorable. I wanted to throw a bottle to his head several times but i still loved him.

I loved Travis's family. His brothers treat her as a sister coz she's dating Travis, so cute. His dad is awesome. Can't say the same for Abby's dad though. I hate him. What kind of dad blames his kid for losing his luck in poker? then he get her to pay for his huge debt!!!

Their friends were also great. Shep, Mare, Finch and the football guys. Mare was too much sometimes but everybody needs a crazy loyal friend right.

This is the first Filipino edition that I was able to finish. Filipino is my first language which is why it frustrates me when read FilEd. i always end up throwing the book to the wall coz I don't understand the words. They're in tagalog, not filipino but didn't find that problem with this book. It was easy reading.  It was kinda awkward though when i fist read Travis call Abby pigeon. It's a name so it wasn't translated to filipino,i know that, but it kinda weirded me out first few times coz my brain didn't immediately process it as a term of endearment with all the filipino words around. My problem, not the translator's.

I love this book. The title is a good match to the story. This will surely be one of my favorites this year.

episode: Shallow by Georgia Cates


I didn't think I'll say this but I like Going Under better.  I had high hopes for Payton, her smart ass mouth was too much. I rolled my eyes so many times i was afraid i'd lost control of it. 

The story was OK. I thought it would get complicated when the found out Paton's mom was having an affair and Aunt Tillie turns out to be Nick's mom but it didn't.  It's really just about their relationship. I was kinda disappointed that their reaction was real life like and not like those from dramas.  No "i hate you"s, no tantrums or running away, I missed it.  Hahaha.

When it got to the part where some girl came saying her kid was Nick's, i was so hoping it was true. That would have been such a mess. It would have been more heartbreaking. But it wasn't true. I hated Payton since she found Nick told her and she got too stubborn to even listen.  The boy tried to explain several times. And by then end when they found Payton's car in Shallow, i was hoping she got murdered.  Not coz i hate her, coz it does have been exciting.
For me the title fits. Its my age probably.

Episode: Cress by Marissa Meyer




I loved Cinder for the love story,
I loved Scarlet for the action,
I loved Cress for the gigles.

Cress was so fun to read. I found myself laughing at Cress and Thorne a lot.  Cress is so innocent and Thorne is so…Thorne. Haha When Cress was running a fever and she asked Thorne to kiss her coz she was sure she was dying and she hasn’t been kissed yet and she doesn’t wanna die not experiencing that, I was like “NOOOO…you did not just say that to Thorne!!OMG OMG” and started laughing. (To my English/communications teacher, sorry for the loaded sentence.:p) That scene was my favorite.  I also LOLed when the wedding coordinator was discussing the menu while Kai was lying and covering his eyes.  Then he looked at her through his fingers.  It was torture for Kai but it was so funny.

I liked the way the story developed.  I was sad for Scarlet though.  She went through so much pain.  I hate Levana!!!  And Wolf is so cute missing his Female Alpha.  I hope Cinder gets stronger and I hope she gets some anti stress meds coz I’m kinda scared for her.  She’s been blaming herself for everything.  I’m afraid she might crack like Winter.  Winter is kinda freaky.  She scare’s me, for now.  

I’m excited to see how this ends and what role Winter will play.  I hope I love her as much as Cinder, Scarlet and Cress.

Episode: Take a Chance by Abbi Glines




Grant just moved up from being my 2nd book boyfriend to number 1. Yeah, he bumped Clay (Always You). Clay’s of now 1.5 and Prince Kai moves to #2… haha

I’ve liked Grant a lot since Fallen too Far and wanted more.  Now I’ve read this, I want more more more. 
I know Grant had temporary insanity, he hooked up with Nan.  Thank God he realized how wrong that was. 
Take A Chance is mainly about his relationship with Harlow.  I swear I got jealous but not enough to hate Harlow.  I like Harlow but she surprised me massively in this book.  It’s not because of her secret, the ones she kept from Grant, but on how horny the girl was.  I thought she’d resist more. Hell, I wanted her to resist more but sadly, she didn’t. She tried, a bit. It was kinda funny.  After she met her mom, she was a mess so asked Grant to help her forget by doing her in the car.  I was thinking “she’s finding every excuse to get inside his pants”.  She reminded me of Riley (Always You) after she and Clay decided to be together.   

I want book 2!!! I love Grant but at this point I wanna hit him in the head for what he did at the end.  I’d also wanna strangle Harlow for just leaving like that.  I can totally see how she can be Nan’s sister.  That girl is as needy as Nan, she also has a cruela side to her, she just handles it a gazillion times better.  She’s the insecure Nan version.
