This post is overdue for about.. a month ago. Sorry! I won the above two books at a giveaway at Sasha White's blog. Thank you Ms White!

Yes, I did state that I already own the eBook version already before entering the giveaway. But holding the fabulous book in your hands is such a wondrous feeling. Go away eBook.
My road to My Prerogative:
Before this book is released, I've seen the cover around, and of course I really liked it and would love to own a copy, all because of the cover. Big cover junkie I am.
Then time passed, blah blah blah, and then one day, I was surfing the net and was hit by a serious-sudden-urge-to-buy-a-new-book-to-read. Like, asap. NOW. So I was clicking around blogs, saw that My Prerogative has been released, and after briefly scanning through 4 excerpts (they were everywhere) of the book, I immediately went to purchase it at Books on Board (here's the Fictionwise link if anyone prefers it there). And viola, got a new eBook downloaded to my pc in about 5 minutes after I got hit by the serious-sudden-urge-to-buy-a-new-book-to-read.
eBook is a very dangerous technology.
A few seconds later, I transfered the eBook to my mobile phone and cuddled up on the bed to read it. And then OMFG what a story. It became my favourite book of 2008. And my best impluse buy ever. Ever. EVAH!
^ The back. I like the book spine really. Red, bold text. Wow.
^ Autographed. Wow.
It's really an awesome feeling owning the book. It's not just a great story, it's something seriously way better than great, and.. it's great! Pardon my limited vocab, even with the amount of reading I do.
I loved the way the story was told. The heroine is written in first person, and we get to know a good damn lot of how she feels. The hero is written from a third person view, it makes him.. puzzling? Mysterious? (Insert-suitable-word-of-your-choice)? It's like there're so much more to him that we don't know, won't know, reading it from a third person. This is the first time I read a book like this and it works darn well for me. I won't have it written any other way! I highly doubt I'll get the same feeling. Sundays at Tiffany's (by James Patterson) is written like that too. It so works! Love both books. I cried hard at both of them. It's the romance dude. Romance! ♥

^ Sexy Devil. Yes I got this in the mail too.
^ Don'cha wana see more of that hunk? Primal Male is the sequel to this book.

My first Sasha White read (and my only read before I got My Prerogative) is 'The Crib' in the anthology Pure Sex. The ending is like a major cliff hanger to me. I was pleasantly (wrong word) surprised to discover that they're going to star in another novella as main characters. YYAHHOOO! YIPPEEE! AAHHHHHH! Really? I wish for a happily-ever-after, but I'd settle for a happy-for-now ending. I wanted them to stay together. Unless there's a promise of a future story about them. Here's the hot cover for that book (an anthology):
It's out May 26th. And today is 13th Feburary. Damn.
A BIG thanks to Sasha White for making this post possible, and also for making me extremely happy!
☺
