Rhyzkahl.

*Pls don't mind the nonexistent editing.*

I just finished page 140 (end of Chapter 9) and wow.

I want Rhyzkahl.

I want him so much that I actually a read non-romance labelled murder mystery novel. (It's labelled as fantasy on this library book in my hand.)

NOT that I don't like the non-romance novels, I just have no mood for it. With my awful hectic lifestyle, I just want to read romance... happily ever after and all that.

*Sigh* I know, I know, this is not a romance novel.

And I don't like love triangles that's why I stay away from stories with more than one man in the heroine's love life.

But what I've googled about Rhyzkahl makes him soooo appealing that I couldn't resist bringing up my library catalog search in firefox and typing in 'Diana Rowland'. Viola. Her first two books are available at this library, the second closest to my home. I did this search at work, and so went straight to the library to borrow them after work. So I got 'Mark of the Demon' and 'Blood of the Demon'. And that night was the start of my ravishment of Rhyzkahl. ♥♥

Well, just that morning I found out about Rhyzkahl. In my google reader on my mobile, on the train ride to work. A BIG thank you to whoever blogged about him recently! Sorry I can't rember you because I was just scrolling l through my romance blogs feed. You guys seems to be part of one big happy romance blog. ☺

Anyway, how does one resist a demon LORD summoned just for sex? Okay, there's something more than sex I think, but I looove that 'summoned just for just sex' idea. (Don't you?)

Is there a romance novel with this premise?

If I remember correctly I've read something about Kresley Cole's smoke demon being summoned by a woman when reading Cadeon's (love the full name) story. Ah Cadeon my man! My first demon book ♥.

Now Rhyzkahl baby is just a romance reader's (well, at least mine) dream come through. Fine, I've only read three scenes about him, but I've cheated and browsed through this book and the second book for more of him. I can't resist!

And I loved what I've scanned through so far ♥♥♥.

I am SO in love.

I can't wait to get more of Rhyzkahl! Though I'd probably breeze through the murder mystery part (again, not that I don't like it, I just have no mood for it).

I want a Rhyzkahl in a pure romance novel please.

I don't know about Ryan, he only just appeared in what I've read so far. He is interesting though. Well he has to be right? Since he's supposed to be one of the main character.

Argh, I just don't like love triangles.

Because someone is gonna get hurt :(

I wish there was no Ryan, and this is a romance novel.

Well, Ryan can appear, and then star in another romance novel after Kara and Rhyzkahl got their HEA. Like how Jeff Corbin got his book with his own HEA but I digress.

The only thing that can make this right is that Ryan is Rhyzkahl in disguise so yeah HEA for Kara!

But not gonna happen.

Still, I've already made up my mind to continue reading about Rhyzkahl. It's still good writing ya know.

Rhyzkahl. Rhyzkahl. Rhyzkahl.

But if Ryan catches my heart too, great! But I only want Rhyzkahl for now.

And the covers are gorgeous.

Her Surprise Hero by Abby Gaines.

The most boring part of the book:
Chapter One. Only Cynthia and no Ethan.

When did the excitement pick up for me:
Chapter Two. When Ethan appeared. Wait, it's more like that the end of Chapter One, when we first hear (read, whatever) Ethan speak.

I'm not saying Cynthia is boring, it's just that what I read this book (and other romances for) is the hero and heroine. Together.

If the books starts out with Ethan only, it'd be boring for me too.

With that said, I love how they met.☺

I just love every moment they're together. All those scenes, conversations, I'm sooo glad Abby Gaines writes normal stories (I meant no saving-the-world, escaping-from-psychopaths thingies). Hmm I prefer her NASCARS though. But anything she writes, I read. All thanks to a free eBook once upon a time at Books On Board.

Favourite part:
When Ethan and Cynthia are both in the closet at the end. ♥

Mentionable:
Cynthia's judging of competitions.

When Ethan got Cynthia the job of judging competitions at the fair (to enable her to met people blah blah blah), I was like, I thought I read something like this before... Sabrina! Haha pumpkins!

Oh the memories...

A page was bookmarked for this sentence:
"The silence in the courtroom was complete, he could have heard an onion growing."

So that I can re-read it laugh.

But you have to read the book for it to be even funnier.

☺

Sigh.

I only have One in a Million and The Memory of a Kiss left of Abby Gaines goodies. I think they could last me only till Feb.

So.

Write more quickly please?

Her Secret Rival by Abby Gaines.

You know what, it's easier to mention what I didn't like much about this book: The front parts where Megan and Travis have yet met. ☺

After that?

Just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!

I simply, love, reading Abby Gaines.

Some favourite parts:

Ice-skating.

Travis blewing off his dad so that he can watch basketball with Megan.

Travis being jealous of Robert.

Travis can cook.

Travis being jealous of Nick.

Megan revealing her feelings first. ☺

Every page where Travis & Megan are together.

All their conversations!

And you know what (again), I purposely chose an Abby Gaines book to end my year.

And yes, I've choosen an Abby Gaines book to start 2011 too. ☺

Mail-Order Groom by Lisa Plumley .

Lisa Plumley's heroes seems to have this trait-- they're totally caught off guard when the heroine's smile and their attention is fully directed at them. So cute. ☺

What I love about this book is how Adam is smitten with Savannah. It's cute how she pampers him when he's injured, and the patting down the napkin on his lap hahaha and just when they're together. I've always love reading lots of hero & heroine time. I just breezed through all the bad guys part :p

The Millionaire's Nanny Arrangement by Linda Goodnight.

My face is sooo wet after reading this! My tears are just drying as I boot up my PC to start on this post..

What do I love about it? How Ryan and Kelsey fell in love. Those situations when they're together, just FALLING in love. ♥

And everything about Kelsey and Ryan's daughter, Mariah too.

You know, it's really the whole book. ♥

A supersuccessful businessman, the only thing Ryan Storm can't quite get a handle on is his daughter, Mariah. All she really wants is a mom. So he hires the next best thing…. Pregnant, widowed Kelsey Mason isn't Ryan's idea of the perfect nanny, but little Mariah bonds with her straightaway.

Even Ryan starts to fall under Kelsey's spell as she tempts the workaholic to take time off to enjoy his family—a family that might grow into something even more special if Ryan can open his heart again.…

A first chapter except at Amazon. Read it! I love how all three main characters (yes Ryan's daughter is a main character) are introduced. ☺

I think it's around the part where they got some important news for Kelsey, my tears just started to flow non-stop.

And I love Kelsey's line about how a woman without chocolate is dangerous. ☺ So just leave us to eat more of it please.

How I got to know Linda Goodnight is because of her free book at TryHarlequin.com. ♥

Maybe all authors should have a free book available for download. I got to know and love many authors because of free books. Abby Gaines, who once had a free novella at Books on Board, is one of them. ♥

And, is it really so hard to digitize all books so that no book will ever go out of print? Travelling cost (around the country to check out used-book stores) are eating into my reserve for romance novels..

Epilogue for Melisande and Jasper!!!!11

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.

Damn!

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.

I 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.

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?
