Beast (Part 2) by Ella James

Continue the dark, erotic journey of Annabelle, the warden's daughter, and the man she's pined for since her girlhood. No longer Cal Hammond, actor, Beast is a brutal man who runs the prison's gangs from behind a shroud of secrecy and lies. Can Annabelle's love save him from his tainted past, or will his deceit ruin both of them?


I am all for a bit of sexy fun and I won't say no to reading a bit of smut. That was what I was thinking when I started reading this serial. Unfortunately, I forgot to remember that this was a modern version of a fairy tale and when it was put into the mix, it got pretty weird to me. Fast.

I mean, the Beast and Annabelle's attraction to each other as well as their chemistry was enjoyable to read but I just wasn't feeling the setting, that their affair started in a prison. Granted they did have a past, years before, but all I can think of was Prison Break and T-Bag causing trouble.

I have to internalize (hard!) that this was based on Beauty and the Beast but I was not entirely convinced with the plot. But then it is supposed to be a modern fairy tale. You'll just have to take it from there.


Final verdict: 6/10. Okay read.

Little Black Book by Tabatha Varga ad Melissa Andrea

My name’s Sebastian Black, and I want to buy you. I could have any woman I want, but I choose you. 
NO RELATIONSHIP, JUST SEX. 

Here’s my offer… 
I’ll put your name in my LITTLE BLACK BOOK, and when I want you, I’ll call you. When I call, you’re going to come, in more ways than one. It will be mutually pleasurable for both of us. 

There are only two rules: 
DON'T EVER DENY ME. 
DON'T FALL IN LOVE. 

If you do either, I’ll remove you from my book and payment stops. 

Do we have an understanding?


This was one of those books that you just couldn't almost wait to read as soon as you hear about them and then by the time you get a copy, you are a big mess. Never mind that I had to set this aside for last week's Sex Me Up Readathon. So I had to wait for several days more than necessary. I never knew such patience. Haha!

I was enjoying reading this because I was really into the chemistry between Sebastian and Rosslyn. Well, Sebastian started out as a douche because, hey, he did have a little black book...versus men in this age and day have theirs in their heads...or smartphones. That doesn't make them any less douchy, of course. But still, the possibility of this incredibly cocky character falling in love was really something I looked forward to.

Finding out about the conflict of the story really burst my bubble though. What a party pooper. The going was good and then poof! I don't know but there are just somethings that I can be black-and-white about and this is one of those things. But I guess fate can be bitch like that on occasion...like the conflict, not about me refusing to see gray.

Nevertheless, this was still an okay read. It might have gone downhill for me for a bit but this was well written enough for me to finish it. It might have ended still a bit off for me but I think some other reader will find enough of the closure the story deserved.


Final verdict: 6/10. Okay read. I think.

The Billion-Dollar Marriage Contract by Alyssa Urbano

Doomed from the start...

Nikos Demakis and Cassia Andrade were married under a billion-dollar company merger contract. Nikos isn't ready to give up his playboy lifestyle, and Cassia is far from the glittering socialite that their elite circle expects. Events force them to live separate lives.

Ten years later, Nikos is ready to give it all up and settle down with the wife he only sees once a year. Cassia is also ready to settle down...just not with Nikos. 

Will Cassia once again surrender herself to the man who scarred her forever? Or will she give up her inherited fortune to leave and never look back? Will they still be able to fulfill the terms of their billion-dollar marriage contract, when death and danger stalks them at every turn?


The premise of the book right away attracted me because when I stumbled on this book, I was looking for a feel-good read. But as it turned out, this wasn't the feel-good read that I was expecting because aside the romance that I was looking for, the story was injected with enough action to get me reading this book in one sitting.

In short, this was an absolute surprise. Although I wasn't able to really connect with the main characters, there was enough chemistry here that really kept me on the story. There were was some regular romance cliches to the plot but I still enjoyed the play of intrigued weaved right into the romance.

This is another gem of a find because I didn't know that the author is a fellow Filipino. After this, I could probably say that I can spot it when a book has an "accent" when it isn't written by a native speaker. This was the second time I felt it, didn't mind it, but turned out that the gut feel was right. I'd love to see if I will be able to do so sometime in the future again.


Final verdict: 6/10. Okay read.

Seeking Her by Cora Carmack

A few months after being honorably discharged from the military, Jackson Hunt is still struggling to adjust back to the real world. He needs to get a job and find a sense of normalcy if he’s going to keep his own demons at bay. The job that falls into his lap, though, is anything but normal. 

Bodyguard (and baby-sitter) to spoiled-rich-girl Kelsey Summers isn’t exactly what he’d been looking for, but it’s a chance to travel, to get away from the home that has felt stifling ever since his return. It would be a pretty sweet gig if it weren’t for the fact that Kelsey’s father doesn’t want Kelsey to know she’s being followed. Hunt feels guilty (and a little bit creepy) as he watches her from afar. She’s vibrant and infuriating, exciting and reckless, mysterious and familiar. When he sees her falling into the same patterns that he suffered years ago, he decides it’s time to stop watching and help her instead. But getting to know her is more difficult than he thought, especially because the more he knows her, the more he wants her.


Jackson and Kelsey were probably the most difficult characters to connect to in this series. At least that was how I felt when I read their book. That was probably also the main reason why their book was quite a difficult read for me. So I was glad to have this chance to know the couple again.

Unfortunately, it still didn't do it for me. I was a little excited to be reading this novella because it was Jackson's POV. I really wanted to know what he was thinking when he started his job to follow Kelsey around Europe. But the interest kind of waned bit by bit. Probably because it was already anticlimactic knowing what eventually happened with Kelsey and Jackson.

This novella just cemented how truly bad I feel that Jackson had to witness Kelsey's downward spiral. I guess knowing how things panned out between the two of them was a consolation. CC's writing is still flawless but this story in this series just didn't float my boat. If this had been a novella set after Finding It, it could've been a totally outcome though. Oh, well.

End Of The Innocence by Alessandra Torre

He thought I owned him. He thought he loved me, that I was enough. But this animal, this sex god who could drive me crazy and steal my heart in the same breath, he would never fully be mine. It was impossible. No one ever owned a God...

One year. I have one year to find out more about this man I am marrying. More about his family. More about our sex, and all of the dirty, delicious places it will take me.

I thought I’d spend this year making a decision. I never thought the decision would be taken from me, snatched right from my naive little hands.


So I finally had my hands on the last book of this trilogy. The last book of my Brad de Luca adventure.

Okay, so I had massive loads of fun reading the first two and a half parts of this series that my expectations for this third installment is naturally sky high. Unfortunately, this read was a bit bumpy at best for me. There were some good points and then there were also some not-so-very good points. Although AT's prose is still the kind that makes it no hardship to read this in one sitting.

But we can't alway have perfection. I wasn't exactly thrilled about the climax of the story. I mean, I was okay with it and I really wanted it to be this big explosive confrontation. But my balloon kind of got deflated in this department just at this most important part of the story. And it kind of got of downhill from there because the confrontation I was waiting for never did happen and I felt cheated. 

Then there was an extended epilogue available online. And it battered some more of my expectations of Julia becoming a kick-ass lawyer. Why? The whole trilogy got ruined right at the end. I just don't get it. 


Final verdict: 6/10. Good read.

The Boy Who Sneaks In My Bedroom Window by Kirsty Moseley

Amber Walker and her older brother, Jake, have an abusive father. One night her brother's best friend, Liam, sees her crying and climbs through her bedroom window to comfort her. That one action sparks a love/hate relationship that spans over the next eight years. Liam is now a confident, flirty player who has never had a girlfriend before. Amber is still emotionally scarred from the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. Together they make an unlikely pair. Their relationship has always been a rocky one, but what happens when Amber starts to view her brother's best friend a little differently? And how will her brother, who has always been a little overprotective, react when he finds out that the pair are growing closer? 


Hmmm. Okay. Even two days after I finished this book, my mind is still the same--still not made up about it. In a nutshell, I have two separate reviews for this book.

Let's start with what my fifteen year self would have said. I would probably have loved this book at that age because Liam James would've been the perfect boyfriend material in my eyes. The best-of-friends, knew-each-other-since-childhood will probably always appeal to me. Not to mention that Amber's big brother, Jake, was awesome, too, and I never had a brother so...

But my present (old and boring) self just freaked out at one thing in this book--can you imagine having your sixteen-year old daughter sleep in with an eighteen-year old and have this go on for years? I still couldn't wrap my head around this. You can only imagine what happened! Hahaha! I don't even have kids nor any maternal bone in my body and I was worried.

Nevertheless, I liked the premise of the book. There were some good points--good plot, good characters, good emotions. But the writing can still be improved and be more structured. The not-so-good? I thought that there might have been a lot of twists and surprises for one book--it was like they were crammed in one story and it might not have needed everything that were in it.

But I'm a sucker for epilogues especially the good ones. This book didn't disappoint in that department.

Interview With A Master by Jason Luke

It's the interview like no other.

It's the interview of a lifetime.

It's THE Interview with a Master.

When Jonah Noble reveals details of his life within the world of BDSM, the tale he tells is intensely erotic, profoundly sensual, and brutally honest.

This is His world. His way.

There is only one question the man will not answer...

When I first came across this book, I was all excited to read it. Having to read something that's more commonly available in women's voice but this time from a man's POV will always be such a novelty. That is why hero POVs get me all excited. And I learned that this is by a man too. Huh, challenge accepted!

So I should've known from reading the title and the blurb that majority of this book was going to about The Interview. I just thought that it was going to be the focal point of story...but I didn't expect it to be just an extended version of what it really was. 

And that was when I really thought that the story dragged on quite a bit. I also couldn't stand the fact that Jonah was narrating stories of his conquests and I just didn't feel comfortable reading all that--especially upon knowing how Leticia started to feel for him and him her.  

I thought that Leticia was losing her journalistic stance on the subject since she started to get attracted to Jonah. That was a concern right there. It should make the article she wrote something to read because I would've liked reading how it went about.

And just when I thought that Jonah and Leticia was really going to have a stab at being together--boom!--JL gave me a very unexpected twist to the story. I have to admit though before this twist, I had convinced myself that there was no need to follow the series anymore. Now it has changed everything. I may not be the biggest fan of this book but I am surely looking forward to reading the second book.

Final verdict: 6/10. Okay read.

Down London Road by Samantha Young

It has always been up to Johanna to care for her family, particularly her younger brother, Cole. With an absent father and a useless mother, she’s been making decisions based on what’s best for Cole for as long as she can remember. She even determines what men to date by how much they can provide for her brother and her, not on whatever sparks may—or may not—fly.

But with Cameron MacCabe, the attraction is undeniable. The sexy new bartender at work gives her butterflies every time she looks at him. And for once, Jo is tempted to put her needs first. Cam is just as obsessed with getting to know Jo, but her walls are too solid to let him get close enough to even try.

Then Cam moves into the flat below Jo’s, and their blistering connection becomes impossible to ignore. Especially since Cam is determined to uncover all of Jo’s secrets even if it means taking apart her defenses piece by piece.


And I was right--Braden and Adam from this series had some very big shoes to fill. Seriously. I loved the first 1.5 parts of this series so much I could cry and that was why I thought this was a bit of a letdown. The bar has been set.

Samantha Young still did an amazing job on this book. I still love her storytelling and I am determined to see this series through. Maybe this is a just a bump along the way. 

It could be that the start of Cam and Jo's story didn't really impress me that much and you know what they say about first impressions. Cheating doesn't impress me at all and that was all I could see right off the bat when I started reading this book. Bothers me, bothers me, bothers me. But as soon as that part of the story is done with, the story quite picked up from there and I was only too happy to zap my way through it.

There were some good points and the ending was kind of okay. I think the hardest part would be just get through the first part and all was alright in the end. 

I just hated that there was a Becca, a Malcolm, and a Blair in the story. That is all.

How (Not) To Be Seduced By Rockstars by Marian Tee

When Fangirls Lie

Sapphire “Saffi” March used to be known as an eccentric genius, the girl who had made a laughingstock of her illustrious family. But she’s reinvented herself since then. Now a post-graduate honor student, Saffi is determined to be a dutiful daughter, with no one in her world ever supposed to know she’s also the most diehard fangirl of Sweden’s #1 Sex God.

It’s her greatest secret, and the times she watches the sex god

sing and dance are the only times she could just breathe…and be herself.

Handsome like a classical statue but earthy and sexy like a pagan god, Staffan Aehrenthal is the most wildly successful rockstar that ever came on stage. He should be celebrating being on top of his world, but a woman’s betrayal had Staffan forging a path to self-destruction instead.

Life no longer meant anything--until serendipity introduced him to a beautiful and funny girl with an adorably unique fascination with fishes.

When their worlds collide on one fateful weekend, Saffi is disguised as a gum-chewing hardcore groupie while Staffan pretends he hasn’t been trailing after her all over the Internet. It’s a recipe for the most hilarious and heartbreaking of disasters because when fangirls lie, the craziest things can happen--like a rockstar falling in love.


I read this serial as a bundle so I'm posting this review as one.

Let me just say that personally, I am a fangirl. Saying I'm a huge fangirl of just about anyone--music people (boybands!), moviestars, athletes--is an understatement. That was probably the reason why I gravitated towards these books.

I just couldn't help but feel envious about Saffi catching StafFan's eye. Honestly, that is every fangirl's dream. I may have at least one foot on the ground and never went as overboard as fantising to this extent. But to be given a chance to speak with one of my favorite rockstars at length is a dream! Lucky Saffi, really. I loved how she was a bit nerdy on one side but also had a naughty side to his personality--and was not afraid to show it either. 

This was an easy read. Still not the best I've gotten my eyes on but it was just ridiculously easy to go through with all the giggles along the way. This may not be something that I would recommended to everyone, espcially the pickier readers. Simply put, MT's writing style is an acquired taste.



When Fangirls Cry

Wonderful white marlin!
Fish-loving Saffi March is no longer a boring post-grad student by day, hopeless fangirl at night. Now that Sweden’s #1 Sex God Staffan Aehrenthal is in love with her, it’s only a matter of time before she has her happily-ever-after...right?

Devastating daggertooth pike conger!
Staffan Aehrenthal is determined never to fall in love again. Saffi hasn’t told Staffan she’s pregnant--and he ends up learning about it from the tabloids. She had made him believe in happily-ever after endings but now he knows it’s an illusion...just like the Saffi he thought he knew and loved.

Optimistic Oriental loach!
With Staffan and the whole world mistakenly thinking she’s carrying the baby of a desert prince, a happily-ever-after for her and Staffan doesn’t seem possible any longer. But Saffi is determined not to lose hope, not even if the man she’s only ever loved is the man who’s hurting her the most.


As much as I enjoyed some parts in this book, I hated the lying part the most--white lies, lying by omission, outright lying. They're all more or less the same. So when Saffi withheld important information from Staffan and continued lying about it even if she had chances to be honest about it, it just didn't sit well for me. When Staffan found out about it through the papers and all hell broke lose, there was noone I could blame but Saffi.

This was pretty much a light reading. I'd say there was a serious undertone in some parts...I won't say much to avoid spoilers, but all in all, it was a fun read. The incorporation of social media was a good touch and even if I felt that the ending was a bit rushed, the story still left me with some good vibes.



Final verdict: 6/10. Okay read.

Lawful Escort by Tina Folsom

When Daniel has to travel to San Francisco and needs an escort for a social event, the beautiful Sabrina shows up on his doorstep. Little does he know that she's not an escort. Their encounter quickly turns steamy until lies threaten to destroy their passionate affair.


I just don't get the premise of this book. (Which really confuses me why I picked it up in the first place...but I did.)

I mean, why would a lawyer like Sabrina take on her friend's gig as an escort? If one's friend is really on a tight bind, of course, you would want to help. But in her case, it wasn't the very best decision because it could really bite her in the ass sometime in the future, career-wise. And I think it was rather rash of Daniel to decide to want an escort for the event that he went right after he broke up with his girlfriend. He could've met someone there much better than his cheating girlfriend...although it would have rebound written all over it.

So, there.

The only consolation in this book was I liked Tina Folsom's writing. Great narration, good storytelling, and she made the characters still interesting enough despite my earlier apprehensions.

So if the first part of the story wouldn't bother you, I'd say this was a good, quick read.


Final verdict: 6/10. Okay read.

Exposing Alix by Inara Scott

Under the name Alix Z, Daisy Zahn was once a wildly successful director of romantic, erotic movies that celebrated love and sex in equal measure. But when her pursuit of love left her with nothing but heartache, Daisy left Hollywood behind for a small town in Oregon. At least, she thought she’d left it behind. Until Ryker Valentine showed up at her door with an offer she couldn’t refuse...

Bad boy actor-director Ryker wants nothing to do with love or romance but he does want to win an Oscar. So when critics complain his love scenes are too cold, he seeks out the mysterious Alix Z to add her sexy, art house spin to his latest film. Ryker quickly finds himself fascinated by Alix’s combination of innocence and unrestrained sensuality, and determined to show her that sex doesn’t have to be cluttered with love.

If only he can keep his own heart out of the shot...


The blurb intrigued me enough to make me pick up this book. Not to mention that the premise was a tad interesting.

This is my first Inara Scott book and although I have not totally warmed up to her style yet, I'm liking it enough and already planning on looking for the rest of her stuff. Okay, maybe it wasn't so much as warming up to IS's style of writing as much warming up to Ryker's character. I really wanted to kick his ass. No, really. And because IS really put together a great narrative, POV-wise.

So, yes, I'd say that my problem was really with Ryker. And surprisingly enough, his story also gripped me the strongest. I'm easy when it comes to family angles and it wasn't any different in this book. There. Were. Tears.

The secondary characters in this book were also great to read. And oh, there was a second love story in the story, too. Although I thought that the end was a bit rushed (a.k.a. Alix should have made Ryker sweat), the epilogue sort of made up for it.


Final verdict: 7/10. Okay read.

Lana by RK Lilley

Lana can’t remember a time when she wasn’t hopelessly in love with Akira. Even knowing that he viewed her as a kid sister had never helped to dampen her feelings. One night together only made it worse. After seducing Akira, it became apparent that their love affair was hopelessly one-sided, and heartbroken, Lana fled her beloved island paradise.

Eight years later, Lana finally returns home, planning to stay briefly, and only for business, but her plans go quickly awry when she runs into the man she could never get over.


I liked Lana just fine when I first met her in the RKL's Up In The Air series and I was pretty excited to get my hands on this read. Although I also know that this is a novella, in the end, I was kind of disappointed.

I am a huge fan of the Up In The Air trilogy and I was expecting the same connection I had with it with this book. Unfortunately, I didn't quite find it. I thought the book wasjust a bit rushed.

Nevertheless, it was still good to read Lana's story. She was quite the mystery when I read first read about her so it was a good fix to finally read her story and what she was all about, what made her tick. I wouldn't have minded her being more kickass and made Akira suffer just a bit.

This novella provided good closure if you have been intrigued by Lana's character in James and Bianca's trilogy, like I was.


Final verdict: 6/10. Okay read.

All Revved Up by Sylvia Day

On the eve of his thirtieth birthday, Miguel Santos leaves his high-powered life behind for a visit to the small town he grew up in… and the high school sweetheart whose wild passion he's never stopped craving.

Faith Bennett loved Miguel the moment she saw him. But she always knew his future was in New York, while hers was tied to the auto shop that was her close-knit family's livelihood. Pushing him away nearly broke her, but when he took her heart with him, he left something precious behind.

Now he's back, demanding her body, her desire, her very soul as retribution for the pain he still carries. He won't settle for anything less than everything she’s got, but she still can't leave with him and he still can't stay, and their past has secrets too explosive to share.


This is an okay read, perfect for when you are queuing for something--at the dentist's, doing the grocery, or simply waiting for any appointment.

This is very short. Although I prefer long-ish stories myself, I was actually glad that I had this when I did. I was pretty busy these past couple of days so I really didn't have the time to read a full-length novel but just enough time to squeeze this one in.

Now, this book may have spoiled me for this type of premise because, hey!, compressing a story like this into a very short novella is actually doable. Enough of the hulabaloo. There are times though that I like some hulabaloo in my reads. I didn't feel that this was rushed but then I may be singing a different tune if I had read this on a weekend or during those times when I had a lot of time to do some reading.

This is typical Sylvia Day--lots of steam, some very great characters, and a well-written story that even how short it really was, it still kinda left you full.


Final verdict: 6/10. Okay read.

Beyond The Highland Mist by Karen Marie Moning

He was known throughout the kingdom as Hawk, legendary predator of the battlefield and the boudoir. No woman could refuse his touch, but no woman ever stirred his heart--until a vengeful fairy tumbled Adrienne de Simone out of modern-day Seattle and into medieval Scotland. Captive in a century not her own, entirely too bold, too outspoken, she was an irresistible challenge to the sixteenth-century rogue. Coerced into a marriage with Hawk, Adrienne vowed to keep him at arm's length--but his sweet seduction played havoc with her resolve.

She had a perfect "no" on her perfect lips for the notorious laird, but Hawk swore she would whisper his name with desire, begging for the passion he longed to ignite within her. Not even the barriers of time and space would keep him from winning her love. Despite her uncertainty about following the promptings of her own passionate heart, Adrienne's reservations were no match for Hawk's determination to keep her by his side. . .


Faeries are cute and they're supposed to stay that way in my mind. Unfortunately, I met Adam Black in this book and the picture of the dainty, magical creatures in my mind will forever be tarnished. (Well, that remains to be seen until I get to read Adam's book.)

But that wasn't the main reason why I didn't like this book. The heroine just annoyed me to no end--especially when she called the Hawk Adam when he was trying to make love to her, his effing wife. Ugh! I wanted to throw her out a tenth-storey window! I just wanted to throttle her so badly that I could barely concentrate on the other nuances of the story that might be possible saving graces for all the disappointing twists. I've no problem with women trying to hold off men at bay. In fact, they're characters I'd most likely enjoy reading. But the way Adrienne kept using Adam (even if she herself didn't like him) as if he was a shield to ward off the Hawk's sensual attacks didn't sit well with me. Jeez, how much can one person beautiful men?!

The Hawk was on okay hero, I guess. Although I got tired of how his virile perfection was often mentioned from beginning to end. A girl can only stand so much without being bored.

As I've said, faeries are okay. In an LOTR kinda way. But the vengeful role they played and the way they used Adrienne in this story was not my cup of tea. Yes, the Hawk was able to find a countercurse, a way to compel Adam Black to put everything in the right. Nevertheless, the way Adam and the Fae King tried to bounce Adrienne from the present day then back to the Middle Ages as if she was a common ping-pong ball did not improve things one iota. It was just so unfair. And the way these people of the Middle Ages acted to Adrienne's popping out of nowhere baffled me. More so was her modern day housekeeper's reaction when Adrienne told her she was pregnant with a man who lived centuries ago. That left me scratching my head.

Now, enough about this whine disguised as a review. But one last thing: I did enjoy one part--I was glad that Adrienne was able to bring Moonie with her to the sixteenth century. And for that, I won't be giving up on KMM's works entirely--if only to read Adam's story. I won't be reading anything by her right away but I'll give fantasy a second chance soon enough.

Final verdict: 6/10. Try to read.

Forever Blue by Suzanne Brockmann

Blue McCoy was once the hero of Lucy Tait's teenage dreams -- quiet, dart and dangerous. After high school he left Hatboro Creek, South Carolina, to join the military. Years later, now a Navy Seal, Blue was a man who embodied all of Lucy's fantasies.

Now Blue is back in town, and Lucy is not the person he remembered. She's a no-nonsense police officer -- and a woman Blue can't take his eyes off. But then Blue is accused of murder. And Lucy is assigned his case. Now their brief affair has became part of an extensive investigation, where what's at stake is critical -- Blue's future . . . and maybe Lucy's heart.

I dunno why but I just wasn't able to connect to this book like I expected to. It's a Brockmann, for chrissakes! But it just wasn't one of my favorites. Don't get me wrong though, I adore Blue. And Lucy. But there's something lacking in the book--maybe it's the lack of SEAL action. I probably just missed Alpha Squad joking around and saying some really ashole-ish jokes. Or maybe not. But there it is.

But I lack sleep and I don't wanna get cranky. And talking about the details that made me not like this book (in SB level) is bound to make me cranky so let's not. Lemme just point out some of the better points instead.

I liked the fact that Blue could really talk with Lucy. We all know how talkative he was and when he started talking to Lucy about Hell Week, it was really kinda sweet. Any situation that has a person unconsciously go out of character and become this...better, and yet the same, person is always a beautiful and sweet thing. And she did that to him.

And I loved the letter Blue wrote to Lucy when he was detained in prison and he thought was gonna die--to be done in by the same people who murdered his stepbrother and whose murder Blue was pinned for.

"I've never said these words words to anyone ever in my life, let alone written them down, but somehow over the past few days, I fell in love with you, Yankee.
I thought you should know.

Blue"

And better point number three was when Lucy wanted to wear jeans to her wedding. I might not like the book that much but I gotta say: Atta girl!

Final verdict: 6/10. Have-to read. It's part of the TDD series, isn't it?
