With strings attached by Kelly Jamieson

Pub.Date Jan. 22 2013

Rating 2/5 stars

One more book like that and I will start hating the book which contains threesomes in a romance novel!!!! I truly believe that and I hate to say it aloud.

A 2 star rating because:

A) The  plot wasn't good (It's better if you watch the movie No strings attached or Friends with Benefits).

I did not get what the author was trying to write about.3 people got together, 3 people got hurt and only 2 of them found their HEA. 1 was left hurt and alone to face his fears (name of the author) make a big mess. Unless she plans to write Dylan's story she has made a big fuck up. This is the story of 2 friends who have a no strings attached relationship and are completely satisfied with that get their lives complicated when Dylan arrives. Suddenly our couple realises that each has feelings for the other which is something I did not liked. Even though Matt is jealous he acts like nothing is bothering him and Corey doesn't realise her feelings about him until the end.They have no idea who they feel about the other until the last pages.It was kinda plotless.The book could be written with half the pages it has now and nothing could be missing.In fact it would be better.

B)The point of views were confusing.

Usually in a romance novel when we see different point of views are mostly of the people who will end up together.But here we have also Dylans POV and that was unsettling.He seemed liked a temporary thing but then we see his view.His catalytic role made him like him a little.Just a little.


C) It made me hate the threesomes in the book.

I love threeways you should know that.But not the ones when it gets in the way of a relationship. I like then when they happen between strangers, a couple which knows what they are getting into and when the 3 parts are in a relationship.But not like that.I ended up skipping the pages when Dylan, Corey and Matte were together.

Commitment by Margaret Ethridge

"Maggie McCann, will you have my baby?"

I had been waiting to read this book for over a year.As soon as I got the chance to I read it and somehow the magic the book had got lost.I wasnt expecting a two person point of view even though in the end I found I welcomed it.

It was slow and fast at the same time. I know it doesnt make sence so I will explain.It was fast and easy meaning that I had not realised how the time had passed from the moment I started the book until I finish it.It was slow because Maggie dont say the words I want a baby until we have read about 40% of the book. In this case that's ok since Maggie and Tom did not know the other well even though the knew each other for 15 years and it would be a little weird if the decided to have a baby  together that way.So in that 40 % they develop a better relationship and learnt a few things for each other and the reader gets to know him better.

I liked the book.The characters, especially Fred, the story and everything about it.

So 5 stars for the playboy who tries to convince the girl who knew prince charming doesnt exist and still wanted him to give a chance to him and find their Happily Ever After. 

I love VA.I had to make that clear.I am not sure about my feelings for the Graphic novel though.The cut out half the lipgloss scene :( .If you have read the books you know what I am talking about.The one where Dimka gives to Roza Victor's necklace and then a lip gloss he bought for her because the one she had was running empty.I love that scene!I made realise how sweet Dimka can be and how much he actually cares for her.The other thing I did not liked is they way the characters looked and especially Dimitri. Maybe it was because I had a different image in my mind or because they can not be drawed perfectly.The story prety much stays the same as I already ( and maybe you) knew. I still though turned every page eargerly waiting what was going to happen next.Only the most important events were transfered in this book and I was happy reliving it.It took me less than 1 to 2 hours to finish it and that made me think that the graphic novel is the best way someone can find to see what's going on with the VA books if he wants to see the movie but not read the books.

Hot ticket by Olivia Cunning (Sinners on tour #3)

5/5 Stars (Read it and you will get why)

To love or to love this book?There is no question about it.Of course you wouldn't be reading or considering to this book if you didn't already liked the series.

Is 4rth in publishing order.In reading order H.T is the third book.40% of it actually happens the same time as the events ofRock Hard.Some things we read in Double Time and didn't make sense then make now like the bus accident and the tattoos on Brian and Tries asses.In case you don't think H.T deserves your time since you have read D.T. you are mistaken.You might know some things but some other are unknown and are expecting you to find out about them.

I think Jace and Eric are my favorite Sinners after H.T..I started seen Eric as a man and not as a boy as I did and I related to Jace and saw how he really is.Until now he kept a part of him as a secret because he doesn't feel like he belongs with the rest of the band.Also somehow Trey's feelings for Brian where more pointed out than any other book,even D.T.. 

2013 Reading Challenge book #3 Clash (Crash #2) by Nicole Williams

4.5/5 Stars

Published September 2012

"Love is like a seed.You’ve got to plant it to grow. But that’s not all. You need to water it. The sun needs to shine just enough, but not too much. The roots have to take hold.And from there, if it pops its head above the surface, there are about a million things that could kill it, so it takes a whole lot of luck too.” 

4.5 stars for Clash only because Lucy didn't learn anything from her mistake in Crash.I would have rated with 4 but in the end she changes(and I hope it will last) and does a big gesture to winJude back.I always praise the evolution of a character.
Jude is the same Jude we saw in Crash.Not that is a bad thing.He is understanding and lets her go even though that breaks his heart and is more mature.

The story is more comlicated and has more agony.After high school Lucy goes to Julliard and Jude plays football.Of course he kicks asses and seems to have a bright future as a player.Adriana his Spirit Sister is a total bitch and tries to steal him.No matter what he says to Lucy she believes he is going to sleep with her and has her insecurities.What happens when Adriana has a plan to break them up that actualy might work?Will Lucy believe him or will she give them up without a fight?

Clash is one of the few books I cheered and did my happy dance when the couple had sex for the first time.It wasn't like I expected it to be but the way it happened was better.I loved the scene before the epilogue after she makes up her mind.Now I can safely say that the microphone confessions of love and the acceptance of their mistakes they make is a Jude and Lucy thing.In less than 12 hours I fell in love with the Crash duet (and soon trilogy).

2013 reading Challenge book #2 Crash (Crash, #1) by Nicole Williams

5/5 Stars

Pub. Date July 2012

Beautiful Disaster and Travis Maddox fans will like this one.It's not B.D. but similar.If you like B.D. is highly possible to like Crash too.Jude is a bad boy with criminal record (not that matters to me) and a womanizer.Just read the way he introduces himself:

“The name’s Jude Ryder,since I know you’re all but salivating like a rabid dog to know,and I don’t do girlfriends,relationships,flowers or regular phonecalls.If that works for you,I think we could work out something special.”

******************************************
"That's why I didn't call. That's why I didn't show up on your doorstep the second i was released from juvy like i wanted to. I'm cancer Luce. And not the kind you can kill off with radiation. The kind that kills you in the end.

I think you got my point.I found it funny though.I don't like the way he talks about himself.He has proved that he is worth the time and the effort.I liked his second intro better.What do you think?

Hi,I’m Jude Ryder Jamieson.My mom left when I was thirteen. My dad’s serving alife sentence for killing a young kid.I spent the last five years in a boy's home being bullied,beat,and abused by the kids, the staff, and even the goddamn dog. I sold drugs. Idid drugs. I got arrested. A lot. I screwed a lot of faceless women.And then I met one whose face I couldn’t forget.I fell in love with her.I hurt her because I fell in love with her and was afraid she was going to leave me the way everyone else had.I still love her.I love you,Luce.And I’m sorry I ruined everything we had before I could admit it to you.Before I could admit it to myself. You didn’t make me abetter person, because no one can do that. You made mewant to be a better person. You believed in me and stuck upfor me.You cared for me when no one else would. Youmade me better, Luce. You’re right—one person can make a difference.One person can change another person’s whole world for the better.

Lucy is the girl next door type type of girl and the type who won't sit down and let you explain what happened, think of the worse and leave you.I say that before it pissed me off while I was reading the book and that behaviour caused a lot of trouble and heartache.

She wants Mr Right and falls in love with Jude Mr I don't do relationships.Their relationship is not easy but they try some more than the others.

“Caring for someone is scary because you both know how it feels to lose someone in the span of a heartbeat.But you can’t let fear dictate your life or else you’ll end up like me.Don’t live life hiding behind your past,live for right now. When you find someone you want tospend forever with, you don’t let them go, whether foreverturns out to be a day or a year or a hundred years.Don’t let the fearof losing them keep you from loving them.”

2013 reading Challenge book #1 Letters to a Young Mathematician by Ian Stewart (Review)

Pub. Date March 2006

Rating 3/5 stars

OK,I was out of my element here.My math teacher lend me the book and though it's recommended to high school students but I think if you're a high school student should really like maths and you read books about them then you should read this.I as mostly romance reader couldn't exactly follow the idea of the book because it's plotless.Stewart just talks about maths all by himself.It might had helped if Meg's letters were also inside the book since sometime he answered things to her that I did not knew she had asked.If you like maths you will find this book interesting.If you want to read about maths but you're a newbie I would suggest to start with another book before you read this.
