I just looooooooooove the way this book was written! This is the story that I've been daydreaming all along. Pretty girl Kayla Turner meets Pretty boyI just looooooooooove the way this book was written! This is the story that I've been daydreaming all along. Pretty girl Kayla Turner meets Pretty boy Daren Ackland ...in the most compromising situation? Yes, that "situation" happens to include real handcuffs! Now...now... before you start thinking kinky? Which I can't blame you? ...because Daren...Daren , my gosh! Daren "the Woman whisperer" will make you want to handcuff yourself with after you finished reading this!
Nothing is more exciting to see these two being stuck together. Yes, there is attraction ( oozing! ) but then there is also distrust? What could be Kayla's motive showing up all of a sudden after shutting off her Dad from her life? And how come Kayla's Dad trusted Daren to include him on his will? Take all of this , plus the preconceived notions they had? But as they go along this hunt , never have they been prepared for a beautiful surprise that will change everything they believed to be.
Speaking of "sexy"... Well, hellllllooooo!! I did not realized until now , that it could be that HOT without even doing "the deed"?! Yes, ladies, I admit , the things this" woman whisperer / kiss bandit" also known as Daren can do? Can totally make me feel "ticklish" in all places I dare not say! *blushing hard* You can just imagine the "actual deed"?!! I'd be like, on fire!! Ms. Fine can CLEARLY and amazingly write a very.... uhhhm, stimulating "scene" ! Yeee-haw! [image]
Overall, I ABSOLUTELY loved everything about this book! The ending is just PERFECT. For the hopeless romantics out there, you're up for a real treat! This one's for you!
I was never disappointed when I read this book. There was definitely magic. Not that kind of magic that we saw in our faerytales. There are no spells.I was never disappointed when I read this book. There was definitely magic. Not that kind of magic that we saw in our faerytales. There are no spells...no pixie dust...no dragons..but a different kind of magic. This kind of magic touched my heart so deep that it reached my soul.
Kerrin Mayham work so hard to be the Golden Pinnacle 's director of the year. She knows that if she wins this award ,she will be moving up. Which also means bigger projects and making full use of the talent that she knows she had.
Once she finally had that award in her hands, fame started to follow. The biggest project was being handed to her in a silver platter and that includes the casting of this high budgeted film. The search for the lead role , Demion Glass is on.
Hollywood has the abundance of potential leading men to choose from. But Kerrin's full attention was locked when he saw Anthony Zorr. There is something in him that says he's Demion Glass..
“Anthony grinned. Dawn shimmered across a rising tide. Kerrin lost track of the conversation. All she saw were those cheekbones, those masculine bow lips, and that stance—not bloated and beefy, just taut. And tan. He glistened. Standing with his hands jammed into his pockets, he gave off an air of bashfulness. Where had he come from?”
“Kerrin wanted him—she didn’t know for which film, and she didn’t care. She just wanted him in front of her camera, filling frame after frame, with that natural boyish exuberance, at the edge of becoming a man.” [image]
That smile ... from that beautiful boy .... Kerrin was more than intrigue as I am. What's behind that beautiful exterior? Oh , if you ask me? I'd say, TROUBLE is clearly written over Anthony Zorr. But can Kerrin see that?
As I read this book , I found my self entering into the glittering world of showbiz where BEAUTY is everything...
Yes, I imagine all the glitz and glamour...the beautiful actors and actresses ...the eager paparazzi , the flashes of cameras ...all of it. They wanted recognition... they clamor fame. But have been thinking what's behind all of these? Take a closer look... you might even be surprised.
I love how Ms. Heidi Garrett wrote this book. Kerrin's life story was told as a fairytale . And Kerrin was quite a good storyteller herself... sharing this to her daughter , Mirabella each night. I find this scenario very touching as I remember my Mom reading me bedtime stories each night as a child. Every word feels like magic to me and I never grew tired of hearing it again and again. So, when Kerrin told her story, I am Mirabella.
The way Ms. Garrett interweave both reality and faerytale was a wonderful surprise. I never read anything like this... and it was really refreshing.
I loved everything about this book. I wish I could put into words the wonderful experience I've gone through with each page I flipped. It was definitely magical. Like, I was inside the two layers of stories : First, inside Kerrin's life story and secondly , inside her faerytale . These two stories were both weaved into a truth that we all probably search throughout our lives. And at the end of it all, leaves us with this question: What's your beautiful, Beautiful?
What's your Beautiful ,beautiful ? Read this book ...you might just find your answer...just like how I found mine...
This was my first time to read a Helena Newbury book, and what can I say? It was really good! The written words took me inside Fenbrook Academy and m This was my first time to read a Helena Newbury book, and what can I say? It was really good! The written words took me inside Fenbrook Academy and met the super shy ( and I say, painfully shy) Karen Montfort. When I say painfully shy , it means dreading to talk in public ever! Yes! Even in front of her colleagues?! I felt Karen. Imagine, having the right answers inside her head but can't spill it out? So, she keeps it to herself. The result? She can't pass presentations ..but she needs to graduate, her dad ( a famous pianist! ) expects it from her. You can sense the pressure there? Yes! A heavy one! Her only hope is to impress the judges during her recital at the end of the semester! So, failing was never an option!
Karen spent most of her college years (and time) in her so-called comfort zone... her beloved Cello ( and more Cello practices!) and a limited circle of very pretty friends, Jasmine, Clarissa and Natasha . While her girlfriends are blabbing about their sexually charged relationships...our Karen here , invents a story of her non-existent boy toy. Or was it her battery operated buddy ( Dildo?!) to warm up her nights?! *shocker!*
Playing / practicing her Cello and going after her dream of New York Philharmonic... was her life? Or was it her father's dream?
“The decision was this: I was going to play with the New York Philharmonic. That’s a cute dream and a nice ambition when your father’s a normal guy. When he’s a concert pianist with a string of bestselling albums, things are different.”
Everything is going well.. Until her Duet partner, Dan was mugged one night and as a result his hand got injured! Ohhhhhh no000.... Noooo... No..no.....How could this thing happen???? Karen felt that it's the end of the world! She desperately needed a partner!! It was a take it or leave it. She has no choice. And arrogant, sexy guitarist Connor was the last person she had in mind!
“I looked up into his face. Blue-gray eyes, like a lazy summer’s day that’s darkening into a storm. Hair cut short and messy, glossy black against his pale skin. And the lips—those soft, full lips that had been the downfall of so many Fenbrook girls in downtown rock clubs or at drug-fueled parties. Even now, they were twisting into a smirk. Connor Locke.”

Shy Cello meets obnoxiously loud electric Guitar. Connor was more than trouble she can handle and if she is smart, avoid at all cost! How can these two opposites work together? Will they blend or will they clash? My interest was instantly piqued.
If you want to see and feel how Karen's Cello and Connor's guitar made me feel giddy , swoon and made my heart swell a little bit more? Go grab this book and find out yourself.

“Happy birthday, Christina,” he says. I love the way my name rolls off his tongue and sends a ripple of heat across my skin, like pouring warm chocolate fudge over cool vanilla ice cream .”

Well...looking at hot Andres... Hmmm.. It's indeed a "Happy birthdayyyyyyy, Christina! There's is an undeniable pull of attraction between these two! And when they touch..it was spontaneous combustion! Andres' touch and kisses burns. Christina never felt so alive! And it was supposed to be one night of no strings attached sex. But why does she wants something more? And why does she wants Andres that bad that he's always on her mind?
This book was definitely a page turner , I've read and finished it within a day. Plus it got an alternate POV's between Christina and Andres which is really good . No more guessing what's inside their heads. And I love how their inner conflicts were resolved at the end.
