Epilogue for Melisande and Jasper!!!!11

To Sedure a Sinner is my favourite. I ♥ Melisande and Jasper!

This morning I woke up, and always the first thing I do is to check my emails on my mobile, and today has got to be one of the BEST mornings EVER.

I got a newsletter from Elizabeth Hoyt and the only thing I saw on it an epilogue for Melisande and Jasper... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMGGGGGG!!!!!

I love them I love them I love them so much they're my favourite in the Legend of Four Soldiers series. And to read more about them is just... is just... I could just cry.

Can there be more? Please?

The Comeback by Abby Gaines.

The Comeback by Abby GainesDamn!

I still think back to the time when I first discover the greatness of ebooks, how I found this site call Books on Board, and that one of the ebooks they offer free (FREE!) then was a novella by Abby Gaines, The Natural, starring Danny Cruise.

I still remember I read this story during a time when I was pretty down, and surprisingly, I enjoyed it! It's seriously not easy for me to like reading any thing when I'm in a sad mood (but sometimes I torture myself). Thus The Natural got stuck in my head, and I began to check out other books by Abby Gaines...

I almost read them all ya know.

Those darn out-of-print books are hard to find :(

The Comeback didn't not disappoint (will her books ever?). It contains all those trademark Abby Gaines smart conversations and funny situations, and of course, past characters. Damn I love it!

I don't know if I should consider this a favourite part, but when Zack suddenly blurts out "I love you" to Gaby at the wrong moment, it's just, well in a way I like how spontaneous it is, though still seriously bad timing. And Gaby just have to reject him (awww *tears* but serves you right Zack).

Then the ending with Gaby looking for Zack and Zack looking for Gaby makes up for everything. ☺

The number of times Sandra appears in this story so makes me want to go back and read her story again. I can never forget the six-foot-four gorilla part. ☺

Remember to read an extra ending at Abby Gaines' website!

I still love the appearance of Trent's charming silliness. ♥

And I'm pretty unhappy that eHarlequin does not have ALL the backlist. Grrrr.

How to Seduce A Texan by Karen Kelley.

How to Seduce A Texan by Karen KelleyI love Karen Kelley's books. I thought they're perfect if you just need to smile, have a good laugh, and get some sexy reading. ♥

Nothing too emotional to weight you down too.

It's kinda hard to stop reading this book, I love reading every moment when Nikki is roughing it at the homestead, and can't wait to know what Cal is making her do next.☺

Despite those.. unbelievable situations, Nikki is tough. Many times she made me think, hey, I should adopt this the we-can-do-it! attitude :P

But I wouldn't want to be called a barracuda. They're ugly.

Bessie 1 & 2 hahaha.

I want to hook Cal's butt too.

And that poor, poor rooster. ☺

^ It may be the reason why I will continue to look out for Karen Kelley's books. ☺

In Christofides' Keeping by Abby Green.

In Christofides' Keeping by Abby Green ♥This is what I've been waiting for, my absolute favorite kind of storyline!

Those one night of passion -> hero finds heroine after two years ->hero finds out he has a little daugther from za one night of passion -> I don't love you I only want what's best for my baby -> I love you marry me --kind. ☺

Favorite part is when Rico lets Gypsy drove off with Lola. And everything that comes after. The ending! I read Abby Green for those heart wenching and just perfect endings. Love them!

I totally liked the fact Rico admits early on that he regretted leaving Gypsy after their night of passion. But Gyspy just has to be deaf then. Huh, I could have made use of that revelation somehow..

And here're actually not much misunderstandings. I don't know if I should complain about this; I don't really like reading them.. much (some just makes me want to slap the characters) BUT they do lead to seriously long grovelling speeches which I luuvvve.

Rant aside, damn I love this book. Want more like this. Please?

Home for the Holidays by Lisa Plumley.

Time is not what I have for the past month. Reading has sadly been very slow for me :(

I needed a book which I can read slowly. Simple. Fun. Cute. Not tooooo emotionally draining. I don't mind shedding a bit of tears though. But not too much.. I can't take too much.

So Christie Ridgway is out.

Then I have Lisa Plumley's Home for the Holidays.

Home for the Holidays by Lisa PlumleyReno, the main hero, the go-to guy, ♥. And Nate, the secondary character, the fudge maker, ♥.

My favorite moment with Reno and Rachel, is the part where he got Rachel over his shoulder. Every about it. Butt-pinching included.

Nate and Angela? Aww. I already liked their story alot, and the fudge moment is just so aww. I wanted to hug Nate and tell him everything is gonna be all right.

You know, I get annoyed when I was reading about Reno and Rachel, then suddenly the next chapter is about Nate and Angela. THEN I get annoyed when Nate and Angela's story is interrupted by another chapter of Reno and Rachel.

Haha. I really liked both couple's story.

And living in my kind of world, it's really nice to read about a place with all nice people. Really nice.

So glad I picked up this book.

Falling for April by Lisa Plumley.

Falling for April by Lisa PlumleyThe book actually started out too slow for me. It's seems like ages before Ryan & April actually meet. But remembering the cute moments in Making Over Mike, I persevered.

I just love how Ryan thinks around April. Thinks OF April.

The wow April campaign? Awww.

That little league double date? Haha I like Mark & Jamie!

A pickup with bows and balloons? Be still my heart. I think this is my favourite part.

And I thought Ryan sounded desperate when he mentioned that with a phone call he can whisk them both away to some luxury resort. ☺

And the BBQ moments.

Overall, it's a great feel-good, cute read for me. ♥

HOT by Julia Harper.

HOT by Julia Harper ♥I love it!

I love it!

I love it!

I love all those phone calls!

No, I've not read anything like it.

As much as I want Turner & John to meet face to face soon, a part of me still hopes that they continue to communicate by cell phone only. I really love all those parts. While reading, I had wondered if the whole book is only going be like that for them, and that they only meet each other face to face at the very end. Which would suck actually. But nah, it didn't happen like I wondered.

I still love how they eventually meet though. Dumb luck. ☺

And points for John for the handcuff idea.

I love Squeaky's presence too.

Have to admit, having a bad memory, I was trying to figure out if Dante Torelli is the hero of For the Love of Pete (which I read back in October last year according to my reading record). And yup, he's him alright. Feel like reading that book again. ☺

If I had to pick which one (between For the Love of Pete & Hot) I like more, it probably will be Hot. It's the phone calls. ♥ Can't resist them!

And the book is hot too. And not just because of the title and weather in the story. ☺

For those who didn't know, Julia Harper is Elizabeth Hoyt too.

And I have all her books.

Can't wait for Notorius Pleasures. ♥♥

Kev McCloud.

Shannon Mckenna - Fade to MidnightI just love how Kev makes Edie his only thought. How he only focuses her. And despite his scarred life so far, he still wants to do it the normal way; to court her, date her, marry her, and have babies.

So want.

Wicked Intentions by Elizabeth Hoyt.

Wicked Intentions by Elizabeth HoytThere're times when I read a great book, I really wish I'm eloquent. So that I can also put down in words how much I love it.

I just so enjoyed every moment of Lord Caire & Temperance together.

Just love the whole thing.

My first favorite scene: When Lord Caire first broke into Temperance's foundling home. ♥

And the first lines of the story (page 2) that just reminds me why I love Elizabeth Hoyt's writing:

"It's ghostlike if he's the dead spirit of a harlequin player come back to haunt the living."

"For bad reviews?"

Bahahha. Read the first chapter here.

Can't wait for the next. How many exactly are there in this serie?
