5 STARS! ★★★★★
You know that feeling where you just put down a read and all you want to do is scream out from the rooftops how amazing it was? I've been sitting at work all day with a goofy smile on my face every time I think about this read! If Showmance was a real life musical play, I'd be in the front row audience giving it a standing ovation and demanding for an encore. Rose & Damon's story was a tantalizing performance that will hypnotise and captivate you from page one. I would happily devour it once more just to fall in love with the story all over again.
One of the greatest joy in picking up an LH Cosway book is knowing that I can always expect something different from her, may it be the vivid settings of her stories to her beautifully flawed characters. It's like walking into my favorite ice-cream parlour, demanding for the flavour of the day and I'd walk out like the happiest customer and ready to come back for more. Showmance is no exception with LH Cosway transporting us to the musical theatrical world where the alluring Moulin Rouge play comes to life.
[image]
Rose and Damon were amazing characters on their own, each with their own little quirks that made me fall in love with them even more. Rose is a choreographer who has mad dance skills but has never been interested to be in the limelight. She stays with her best friend, Julian (whom is so freakin awesome!) and we see him nursed Rose through her bad breakup with an ex, Blake who was a doucheface actor. Ever since then, Rose vowed to not let her heart be tempted by another actor until Damon Atwood landed a role in the upcoming Moulin Rouge that she's been working on.
[image]
It would be an understatement to say how much I ADORE Damon. Honestly I made a mental list of 10 things why Damon Atwood is possibly one of LH Cosway's best hero yet (Jay Fields is still sitting on the top spot with Oliver King close behind but I'm pretty sure I just bumped Damon to second place!!). Damon was not your typical Hollywood golden boy, he was anything but. Which only made his character so endearing because he reminded me like a lost sick little puppy when he first showed up in the book. He was like a quiet storm that you can't quite understand at first but yet you're drawn to the intensity brewing behind his reserved character. Being able to tap into his thoughts and understanding the pieces of him he's hid from everyone, it was hard not to fall in love with this man.
[image]
Now getting on to the main reason I really loved this book, which was the slow burning romance between Rose and Damon. All I can say is that the sexual tension will be burning through the pages! It was a slow, sexy tease of a dance that Rose and Damon were playing at that had me tethering to the edge of self combustion. It was executed perfectly because when it hit the boiling point, the emotions that rolled off the pages went off like the fourth of July. Imagine the taste of sweet victory when the romance was worth the wait. Oh it was so good, trust me, I could only dream of having the kind of love that Rose and Damon had. I was hardly fazed by the drama that surrounded them who tried to break these two apart because I had so much faith in them.
[image]
With the perfect balance of angst, humor and romance, Showmance is a true testament of how talented LH Cosway is by showcasing her versatility when it comes to her writing. This author never cease to amaze me with her stories but mostly, it's the raw passion that I felt through her words that always latched onto me every single time I read her books. Another stunning performance delivered by LH Cosway, this book has undoubtedly made its way to my top reads of 2016. Also I am absolutely dying, DYING for Julian's book now!

“There is no one I would rather see the sunrise with than you.”
I've never been more thankful to my reading buddies for introducing such a tragic yet “There is no one I would rather see the sunrise with than you.”
I've never been more thankful to my reading buddies for introducing such a tragic yet enthralling love story that left me deeply wounded because OH MY GOD THIS BOOK. Thinking about this book makes my heart hurt every single time. It's been a few days since I've put it down but the ache in my heart has hardly been soothed at all.
I'll be honest: I rarely pick up a book that involves a retelling because duh it's a retelling. I'm always afraid that it would be predictable in some ways but with The Wrath & The Dawn, I couldn't flip the pages fast enough!!
As the blurb mentioned, this is a story inspired by the A Thousand and One Nights; in this one we have a strong heroine by the name of Shahrzad or easily known as "Shazi" who volunteers herself to be the next bride of the King. By each sunrise, the King kills off his bride until he takes a new one in and the vicious cycle repeats. She vows to take vengeance for her friend who is just one of the many victims.
Right from the start, I already had the good tingly feelings that this book was going to give me the EPIC feels. The author's writing flowed through the pages beautifully and the characterization of Shazi was nailed down to my perfect heroine type. She was courageous yet it allows you to see her vulnerability when facing the throes of her death.
“A true plague of a girl. And yet a queen in every sense of the word.”
And the King, Khalid. BE STILL MY HEART. I didn't imagine I would fall head over heels for him but I did! In every way that matters, I truly did. Tortured with a secret that hangs over him, his brooding personality from the start drew me immediately. The romance and chemistry between Shazi & Khalid was so naturally beautiful- thinking about it still give me the goosebumps. It's just that good. I lost count on how many quotes I highlight from this book alone- simply amazing!
“What are you doing to me, you plague of a girl?” he whispered. “If I’m a plague, then you should keep your distance, unless you plan on being destroyed.” The weapons still in her grasp, she shoved against his chest. “No.” His hands dropped to her waist. “Destroy me.”
Easily another top read of the year for me, I can't believe I didn't find out about this book sooner last year! The book ends with a mini cliffhanger but thankfully, I heard it's a duology so the agony of waiting the next one will be worth it!!
Pick up this book, you won't regret it. Fans who are looking for an epic love story won't be disappointed because Renee definitely knows how to spin a tale that will captivate you and bring you down to you knees with this. I need my own King Khalid!!
“You have a beautiful laugh. Like the promise of tomorrow.” ...more
Well holy crap on a stick. What. Was. That. Ending?! When I was told that the book ends with a dreadful cliffhanger, I was preparing myself for all thWell holy crap on a stick. What. Was. That. Ending?! When I was told that the book ends with a dreadful cliffhanger, I was preparing myself for all the scenarios that this duo authors would pull off. But oh hot damn, that really took me by surprise. Not to mention, royally shocked (no pun intended)!!!
So what's this book about, you say? Just imagine one girl living in a large mansion with 5 smexy teenage boys and BOOM! Testosterone overload. And a whole bucketload of angst. LOVE THE ANGST! I LIVE FOR THOSE.
Welcome to the Royals world courtesy of Erin Watt, brainchild of two amazing authors, Elle Kennedy & Jen Frederick. Let's talk about those amazeballs characters.
Ella Harper - She is the absolute BOMB. Like y'all know how much I love my feisty heroines and don't take shit from nobody, Ella was the exact definition of an absolute kickass, ballsy teenage girl. Sometimes I even forget she's 17. Life has dealt her some really shitty cards but the girl knows how to stand up for herself even when the world is against her. What I really love is that she still showed her vulnerable moments and doesn't pretend to be okay when she's not. There's no shame in admitting the hurt that comes with the hurls and accusations, which I felt allowed readers to connect with Ella easily and understand her. You go, girl!
Reed Royal - The sexy enigma of this book. He's like the hot and cold, bad boy that each book needs. And boy, do I love him! He hates Ella and he loves his brothers, he'd do anything for his family even if it means breaking Ella into pieces. He doesn't trust Ella has any good intentions coming into their family other than for wealth or a hidden motive. This HUGE strife between Ella and Reed was the source of all the sweet motha angst which I totally dig. Team Reed please!
Easton Royal - Self proclaimed manwhore of Aston High. He's a huge flirt and shamelessly so that he started hitting on Ella in no time. He can mostly be seen with Reed having brotherly conversations in the dark. But there's more than meets the eyes when it comes to Easton as he battles some demons from his past.
From mean girls to the Royal boys being A-Grade jerks, this book had my emotions soaring up and down like a rollercoaster ride. Reading this book was like crack for me as I couldn't even put it down for one second as I navigate through the hurricane that is Ella's life. You're gonna hate some of these characters and you're gonna love some of them. They'll be some you hate to love and love to hate, it really doesn't get better than this!
The writing was flawless, so fluid and you couldn't even tell where one author begin and the other ended. I'm dying to know how the writing process is done between these amazing ladies because they got me hooked to this read like mad! Written completely from Ella's POV, I didn't even need to be in the Royal boys' head to be able to connect with all of them, especially Reed and Easton. There was enough interaction and dialogue going on for me to gauge these characters and still get a level of depth to them. To put it simply, I LOVED IT.
Now excuse me while I hold my breath waiting for the sequel because lawd knows I need to know what happens next. GAH THAT ENDING!! Yup I'll be just over that corner now rocking on my heels. But in the meanwhile, everyone needs to make sure they pick this up and get swept away by this new hurricane of a series! ...more
I don't know why it took me so long to pick this series up but my God, this is quite possibly THE BEST fantasy series I've come to read 5 STARS! ★★★★★
I don't know why it took me so long to pick this series up but my God, this is quite possibly THE BEST fantasy series I've come to read and love. I know the last time I felt this way was reading The Infernal Devices but oh my gawd THIS SERIES- from having the most badass heroine that has graced the literature world to weaving a storyline that knocks the wind out of you, Sarah J Maas proves why she deserves to be the Queen of YA Fantasy.
“She was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. She was Aelin Fireheart, and she bowed for no one and nothing, save the crown that was hers by blood and survival and triumph.”
I've spent the last 2 days reading the prior books and even after 24 hours of finishing this latest masterpiece, the read still consumes my mind. Entirely. What started out quite simply for all the characters in Throne of Glass has grown immensely up to this point and to fathom that this is hardly the end, I'm in awe. The twists and turns, the unexpected romance, the badassery that is Aelin- it continues to blow me away each time.
No doubt that it's the characters in this series that have stolen my heart and has me placing this book on a mighty pedestal. I would have never imagined that when I first started this series, the dynamics of Aelin, Dorian and Chaol would have changed in so many ways. Yet Maas pulled it off flawlessly and the entire last portion of this read would have warranted 10 stars alone from me. The gigantic amount of feels that slayed me right there!!
“They joined hands. So the world ended. And the next one began.”
I'm literally in book hangover after this one and honestly I'm sitting here with glasses of wine wondering how I'm going to get through another 9 months to get the next book. It's absolutely agonizing because even with this being just right past the halfway point of the series, I know the worst has yet to come. I'm terrified and nervous out of my wits, pondering the fates of these characters. I'm DYING to know who Aelin will ultimately be with. I'm DYING to know if any of my favourite characters are going to die next. I just, I can't-
I'm not over this book at all, can you tell? #bookhangover
Deservedly a winner of the Goodreads Choice Awards this year, everyone just needs to read this series and revel in the awesomeness that is Sarah J Maas.
Thank you Rachel for pushing me to read this and then holding my hand as I cried/swoon/fangirl throughout. No one enables my reading addiction like you do ;) ...more

"Maybe one day, if it's meant to be, they'll intersect. In the meantime, we'll always have Del Mar and 101."
It's no secret that I am a huge fan of Aleatha's work since the Consequences series. She's one of my go-to authors for the dark suspenseful reads. So when she decided to start a new serial series, I couldn't pass up the chance to read it despite the wait in between.
[image]
Just to clear the air up behind the title, there is NO CHEATING involved. The concept of betrayal here does not involve a third wheel nor is there any kind of cheating in its literal sense. Our heroine here, Alexandria has been living her whole life trying to reinvent herself. She's trying to leave behind her family in the Montague Manor who may seem prim and proper but there's more than meet the eyes. She refused to be controlled by her rich step-father who has a grip on her mother and be at his every whim. And so, she left the Manor to pursue her studies and started anew as Alex Collins.
During her recent grad trip with her bestie, Alex decided to escape reality once more by letting loose by coming up with her new persona, Charli. Crossing paths with one sexy mysterious and dominating man called Nox only seemed to help her fueled her fantasy to learn what's it like to lose control. One week with no strings attached, it sounds like the perfect plan but what happens when you want more?
"Our first time will be what you want, what you fantasize about. I'm going to take you, right here, right now."
[image]
This book had me equal parts intrigued and equal parts aroused. Both Alex and Nox are strong characters on their own and together, the sexual tension was clearly palpable. And sweet baby jeebus, Nox was such a deliciously sexy enigma that exuded the confidence that could probably melt my panties with his words. I loved how the alternating timeframes was done in the book and how it all came together to the present time towards the end. My only minor issue with that the first 3/4 of the storyline dragged a little and I was clueless to where this was heading. But the final 1/4 definitely kicked this story up a notch and changed everything.
Betrayal is definitely a strong start to the Infidelity series and with the last quarter of the read that hints at where this story will go next has already got me impatiently waiting for the second book!! I need more Nox, that's for sure. Can't wait!
[image]
Betrayal is the first book in the 5-parts Infidelity series. Next book is set out to release in Jan 2016.

This series has taken me by surprise when I first read Diamonds back then and now with Trihn's story starting in Emeralds, I thought I'd be prepared with what Kyla have up her sleeves but apparently I've been blindsided yet again. She sure knows how to pack a punch even with a novella length read that has absolutely leave me wanting the next book ASAP!
[image]
Fans of the series would have met Trinh already in Gold and we've only scratched the surface back then. She's almost the total opposite of Bryna; more on the reserved side and more composed. Emeralds kicks off Trinh's backstory before she hits Vegas (and pre-Bryna days). Trinh is a girl with many talents- an ex-model, loves dancing ballet and about to enter NYU to pursue her degree in fashion design; she almost had the world at her fingertips.
What she didn't expect was a gorgeous guy named Preston to collide paths with her late one night after her ballet session and sweep her off with his charming ways. The last thing Trinh expected was to be caught up with a random stranger but Preston knows exactly how to win her heart. It won't be too long before Trinh lays her heart open for him and to only discover the devastation that comes after.
[image]
I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this book immensely because I gobbled it up in one entire sitting. This read had my emotions swinging from one extreme to the other. The first half had my head swimming in the clouds but when it came down to the other half, I literally had my jaw dropped open at the sudden twist! Well played, Kyla. It's a compliment to say that you're a sadistic evil genius who knows how to rile us readers up and drive us bonkers.
[image]
This book stayed true to what Kyla does best- it had the crazy angst, the smokin' hot steam and it made sure we had one helluva rollercoaster ride with some glorious angst! It's probably too early to judge but I'm already loving this better than Diamonds/Gold. Trinh had her moments too but I could understand her choices. And Preston? Oh boy, I just hope I get to see more of him in the next one because I am just DYING to know what he's really up to.
No one does a read better than Kyla when it comes to MCs you'd hate to love and love to hate, so if that's your cuppa- Emeralds is right up your alley. Plus, it has tons of angst and you don't even need to read the previous books in the series to start ;)
[image]
Emeralds is the third book in the All that Glitters series but can be read as a STANDALONE. This is the first of the duet that tells Trinh's story which will be concluded in Platinum.

"But as long as air moves in and out of my lungs, as long as I breathe, I will fight for you. I will fight for us."
Once again, Brittainy C Cherry has delivered a top-notch romance read and dare I say rather effortlessly. Her previous work, Art & Soul easily snagged one of my top reads of 2015 and so does this one. Right from the prologue, I already knew this book would put me through for an emotional ride.
This is a story about loss, forgiveness, redemption and finding love again. Both MCs, Tristan and Elizabeth have experienced a crippling loss by losing their most loved ones and stumbled upon each other when they became neighbours. Tristan is the least of welcoming and puts up an icy exterior to every person he comes in contact with. Even after an attempt by Elizabeth who saved his dog, Tristan wants nothing to do with this woman.
Eventually when they realised they shared a common loss, they saw a chance to make their pain more bearable by holding onto their past through each other. Two broken souls who desperately seeks the feelings they once felt and longed for. But will they be able to move forward if they keep latching onto their pasts?
"She undressed me and made love to her past. I slid into her and made love to my ghosts."
[image]
I've said it before but I'll say it again: this author has a way of writing so beautifully that will tug at your heartstrings in every book she puts out. From the admirable characters whether main or supporting, you can't help but be smitten by all of them. Even right down to the golden retriever, Zeus. She brings the light moments into the read by bringing in characters like Faye who says the darnest things that cracked me up like mad! But most of all, this author writes like she pours her heart and soul into every read because you will truly feel for these characters and experience their love, their loss and their heartbreak of it all.
"The magic is in the tiny moments. The small touches, the gentle smiles, the quiet laughs. The magic is about living for today and allowing yourself to breathe and be happy. My dear boy, to love is the magic."
Easily another of my top read of 2015, The Air He Breathes promises a love story that teaches you that with loss, there can still be love. There is beauty in tragedy and there can always be more than one happily ever afters in your life. This story will gripped you from start till end and also promises some unexpected twists that will shock you. I'd highly recommend this read for sure!!

Reading this series purely for Javier!! While I'm glad that he finally found someone that can match up to him, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Luisa. I barely even know or learnt much about this woman but whatever transpired between Javier and her seemed to have happened far too quickly. Didn't feel like there was much room for their development and suddenly boom, they're all over each other (I'm guessing Luisa is just super gorgeous and badassery, so Javier got super turned on by that) Um yeah, okay.
Also not enough action going on, I would have loved to see Javier getting all brutal on the field rather than being cooped up and torturing people. But yeah, that's just me ;) ...more

“Take it from a man who almost lost everything, you can’t focus on the end. You have to concentrate on what’s right in front of you”
Oh. My. God. I cannot remember the last time I cried so hard over a read but this book completely wrecked me inside out. I mean, I was full-fledged sobbing into my pillow during the last 10% and I didn't know if I could even finish the read for crying out loud.
A. Meredith Walters has once again succeeded in punching me right in the feels (multiple times may I add) with this heartbreakingly beautiful read. There's just so much raw honesty in her words and so much truth in how we cope with the thought of life and death. This story had absolutely consumed me right from the start and I almost wished it never end.
"Stop thinking about your life in increments. Seconds. Minutes. Days. Look at the bigger picture and embrace whatever time you have. Don't look constantly toward the end. Enjoy the right now."
This book had everything I loved in a read. I laughed as much as I cried. The heavy moments were balanced out by the light moments. The pain from the heartache equally compensated by the joy in finding love. I felt like I was truly a part of Corin & Beckett's journey and I wanted to live alongside them. Forever.
Also I never thought I'd get to say this ever but there is finally, FINALLY someone who can match up to Augustus Waters. If you don't know who that is (shame on you!), he's my ultimate book boyfriend from my all time favorite soul-crushing beautiful read The Fault in Our Stars. I'm not even going to tell you how many times I cried reading this book or watching the movie. So yes, Beckett Kingsley, YOU DEFINITELY GAVE ME THE BUTTERFLIES FEELS.
This is a definite must-read for all you romance lovers who thrives on the great emotional punch in their reads.

"We are strong. We are Southern. We have secrets you will never imagine."
I've been contemplating if I should read this one after her previous one was a miss for me but after succumbing to some peer pressure, I caved in. After finishing this one, I was quite surprised by how much I actually enjoyed reading this as AT switches from her usual erotica to the contemporary genre.
This was definitely a much lighter read coming from AT and what I really enjoyed was the heroine who really had some major backbone. And the rooster, Cocky. I really adored that chicken, makes me want to own my own pet rooster right now. Also a surprise cameo totally made up for this read! The heroine's snark towards the hero was also a much added bonus.
What didn't work so much for me was perhaps the pacing. A little too slow for me at the beginning to be invested in the read and at times, certain scenes just didn't catch my attention. Not sure if it's because Quincy sounds like a really secluded town and everything seems to be centered around these few characters only but, it was a struggle at times for me to get around this read. The read just sort of left me feeling rather...indifferent.
Overall I think it's an okay read but it just didn't give me the wow factor I'm looking for. The sexual tension is there, the humor is there, the romance was alright but it just didn't give me the excitement I usually get in a read. But even with all that, I'd still say it was a solid decent read if you're looking for something sexy and funny wrapped up in a Hollywood-meets-simple-girl romance read.

I can't remember the last time I had a 5-stars winner read but I couldn't be happier that I finally found one with a Mia Sheridan book. Most of us are no strangers to this woman's talented gift in writing but I am one of a few to admit that her books have been hits or misses with me in the past. But I believe if there is one thing we can all agree on when it comes to Mia's books, it is that you can always walk out of the read with a renewed sense of hope.

Grayson's Vow being the latest addition in her Sign of Love series is inspired by the zodiac sign of Libra, symbolizing the scale of balance. In this modern tale, we have Grayson and Kira, two desperate souls with a vow to fulfil but lacking the financial resources to accomplish them. They find themselves in an interesting arrangement proposed by Kira, one so outrageous but tempting that Grayson couldn't resist saying no to. After all, desperate times call for desperate measures, no?
Both Grayson and Kira butted heads at every chance they get, going as far as dubbing one another as the wicked witch and the fiery dragon. They can't stand each others' guts but try to play nice for the sake of living out their new partnership. I really enjoyed watching these two spitting-fire at each other as it builds up for some great humor especially with all the name-callings and sarcastic remarks that had me chuckling.
"Oh, I dare you. Show me that dragonish side. Do your worst."
It also made up for some delicious angst as they battle the undeniable attraction between them but are too stubborn to admit. It's not before long before they realised that despite being complete opposites on the scale, they shared a common bond that led to their distrusting behaviour towards people around them.
[image]
As I was reading Grayson's Vow, I found myself in multiple emotional states; from laughing at the witch-dragon name callings, then to heartbreak from the betrayal they've been through but lastly, a renewed sense of belief that there is hope in all things that mattered. Reading Grayson and Kira's story brought such joy to my heart as I connected to both of them on such a personal level that I can't quite fathom. I'm not even ashamed to admit that I had tears in my eyes more times than I can count as I grieved for these characters. This is a true testament of Mia's ability to put out words that have the power to break and heal you thereafter.
The thing I LOVE most about her books is that she writes about these real-life situations, real-life problems that we all go through whether we like it or not and they remind me that these characters are just like us living in this very real world. She write these stories that grants you strength, to remind yourself that even at the deepest and darkest corners of your life, there is always hope if we choose to believe in it. Her words speak volumes and with such raw honesty that I find myself clinging onto them everytime.
[image]
[image]
Of dragons and witches and of love and betrayal, Mia Sheridan continues to deliver romance stories in spades. This is a story that will leave you enamoured by her characters and convey a message of hope amongst the beautiful setting of Napa Valley. I can easily say that Grayson's Vow is now my favorite Mia book to date or perhaps I'm more bias towards this one since I'm a huge fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope.
Honestly if I could erase my memory and read this book all over again, I would a thousand times over because I can barely bring myself to read another book after finishing this. Definitely going into my top 2015 reads list. So thank you, Mia for sharing yet another piece of your beautiful gift with the world ♥

"I knew this had danger written all over it. Knew there was something wild in him that hadn't been there before."
Right from the start, the Capital Confessions series got me hooked onto each of the Reynolds sisters' stories but this one is hands down my ABSOLUTE favorite! The irony was when I reading the entire series previously, Kate Reynolds was my least favorite sister and I wasn't even sure if my love for the series will continue up to the very end when it came to her story. But color me surprised! I know I shouldn't have doubted Chanel Cleeton when it comes to delivering another kickass heroine.

This final instalment will also be the hardest to review as any details of the plot may give out the most crucial parts away, so I'll try my best to give this book justice by my vague review.
This one had much more action, more intensity that keeps you on the very edge and the stakes have never been higher. Kate Reynolds is still grieving over the loss of her childhood friend and fiance, Matt whom she believes that his death was not a mere accident. Joining the CIA is part of her mission to investigate his death but when she starts uncovering the truth, it'll be more than just answers that comes to surface. Her life might just be on the line too and her saving grace will come from the one man she least expected to.
This book was just full of surprises and packed with intensity that had me flipping the pages so fast. Before I knew it, I nearly wailed in agony knowing that my favourite series was coming to an end so soon. Reading Kate's story and understanding more depth of her love shared between Matt definitely had my heart breaking for her. I mean, I always knew she had this undying love for him since the start of the series that drove her into this cold facade she put up but tapping into her thoughts finally led me to understand her motivation.
[image]
The romance was a slow build-up but it reeked with such strong sexual tension between our two leads that have you rooting from them since the start. Both have baggage on their own that needs to be confronted but I truly enjoyed seeing the support they had for each other as they try to mend their broken bridges.
[image]
Sex, scandals and politics; The Capital Confession series is definitely not a series to be missed and will be sitting proudly on my top reads list for 2015. Although I'm quite surprised by how this series wrapped up in the end, I thought it was still befitting given the circumstances of how everything played out. Similar to the prior books, there was no petty drama in the read and both MCs made mature decisions that didn't drive me up the wall. Throughout the series, the sisters always had each others' backs and it was just amplified even more in the final instalment. I loved every single moment of it and I can't wait to read more from this author!

Falling for Danger is the third and final instalment in the Capital Confessions series. Each book can be read as a standalone but is recommended to be read in order.
