Love at first sight.

Sigh.Have I mentioned before that Abby Green's stories are so my type of books? Really can't say how much I love them.

In Chosen As The Frenchman's Bride, it's like I can feel what Xavier and Jane are feeling. The writing really make me seem to be able to feel those moments, their emotions. They may hide their feelings from each other, but definitely not from me. I feel that I know too much sometimes :p Really, it was an emotional ride for me, from the moment they bump into each other. And the ending is just wow (too). They didn't just made up just by saying "I love you." That conversation at the end (and prior to the end), just makes my tear flow non-stop... ho boy.

Love it!

This is it.

The Mediterranean Billionaire's Blackmail BargainI just finished my second Abby Green Harlequin, and bingo. I conclude that she writes just what I love to read. I am sooo lucky.

* Maybe spoilers. *

I totally love Dante's grovelling speech at the end. (Mandorallen suddenly comes to mind, I think I just miss him.) I like Alicia's little speech too when she decided to end their "relationship". I mean wow, the heart wants what the heart wants. It gets to me.

Sigh. The whole story is just emotional. For me, it's like smaller dose of those extreme emotional reads (ala Christie Ridgway / Pamela Morsi for me). I can take small emotional doses anytime. But I stay away from extreme ones (for now).

I also love it that there's a "Three and a half years later" thing. I have a thing for epilogues indicating how many babies they had (two right?). Ooh right when I reach the end, I was immediately thinking about which book of hers should I read next. Sigh.

The French Tycoon's Pregnant Mistress.

The French Tycoon's Pregnant Mistress by Abby GreenI love it!

* SPOILERS! *

You know, I love it when heroes grovel and BEG the heroine to forgive/marry/love him at the end. Basically, I really love reading about the man doing all the work. But in this book, at the end the heroine went on her knees and asked the hero to marry him (complete with wedding band), and I love it! I LOVE the whole scene! Before and after I love it all! *Sniff.*

It wasn't like Alana was trying to be macho or be the man in the relationship or what, it's just emotional. I thought it's really brave of her to do that, after the usual misunderstanding that happens in romances. She didn't just say a simple "I'm sorry", instead she asked Pascal to please marry her. I just love that scene. The whole chapter. Love it.

Gawd I need more of these pregnant books.
