diary of a wannabe writer

The story has all the elements of a great book—a Regency-era romance about an arranged marriage with a twin twist—but I couldn't get into it. Although the premise is quite interesting, it fell flat for me. Also, the writing style is not a good fit for me.      rating ❤❤ cover ❤❤ Goodreads  ||  Amazon happy reading, anie

Jade is excited to start her summer job of managing a bookstore on Nantucket Island. For the next three months she will be surrounded by books and perfect scenery. On the drive there she runs into Liam, a rich resort owner, who will soon become her new book.  They have an instant connection, but he is determined to close the shop and she will do anything to keep it open.  I wanted to love the book; from the synopsis, it sounds like a perfect fit for me. However, I couldn't get into it. The dialogue was... let's just say not it, and I couldn't like any of the characters.  He was arrogant and obnoxious and she was over the top.  Then there is the plot... why would she try so hard for a job she had for a day?    rating ❤❤ cover ❤❤❤ Goodreads  ||  Amazon happy reading, anie

Adriana is not in a good place, single with an almost failing business, she went on a vacation with her brother, who is also her best friend.  One mistaken delivery later, she is stuck with a bracelet she can't take off, and is asked on an adventure of a lifetime with a hot Indiana Jones-like scientist.  She reluctantly agrees to go, especially since there is payment involved and she desperately needs money... but all that running around, solving puzzles together and constant danger pulls them together. Andrew desperately needs the bracelet and the only way to get it is to take the girl wearing it with him... but his mission is a dangerous one, without a snarky sidekick, and her brother. They have mad chemistry and the romance that develops is just the cutest (there are lots of spicy moments too :)). I love the adventure part the most, it was like reading an Indiana Jones novel, but better.  Highly recommend it to anyone who likes spicy romance with a side of adventure. :...

The cutest story! Sangwoo lives by the rules he set for himself. He has a schedule and routines he follows religiously. His whole day is in disarray if anything were to mess with those. He is a computer major at a university. At a group project, when none of the team mates managed to contribute to the presentation, he did it himself and cut all of the other names, making them essential fail the class.  One of those teammates was Jaeyoung, a design major who failed to graduate because of that class. It ruined his plans to continue his studies abroad and made him very, very angry.  Sangwoo is working on a video game and needs a designer. His current one no longer has time and has recommended someone else. When they meet up, it's none other than Jaeyoung.  He is very determined to get back at him, and disrupts his routine, just to make him mad. What makes Jaeyoung the most mad, is the fact that Sangwoo fails to remember him, even though they meet many times. They even end up...

Jess is a journalist about to lose her job. She loves what she does, but her writing is not what it could be. As a last chance, she takes on interviewing an artist, who is notorious for not being keen on the media.  Xander is an artist, who has a bad reputation. Some of it is warranted, some not, but Jess can't afford to give up now.  He has struggled with his art for a long time, but being close to her, makes him want to work again. So they make a deal. He agrees to answer questions if she agrees to pose for him.  I wanted to love the story, it has all of the right ingredients,  but I just couldn't. There is very little chemistry between them, there is no tension or anticipation. Everything happens and unfolds too fast. The dialogs were not it... and some scenes were hard to read. 3 stars for what it could have been.  rating ❤❤❤ cover ❤❤❤❤ Goodreads  ||  Amazon happy reading, anie

The cutest story! You've got mail, but in book form (so it's even better). Summer is all about romance. She runs a romance book store, looks for a perfect meet-cute, and wants to find her HEA. Her life is not all pink and fluttery thought. She has a series of meet-uglies, and the big-box bookstore moves next door, threatening all that she built, and on top of that thing with her twin, her other half and a bit tense. She hates that book store and most of all she hates its owner, Wes. They have an epic prank war, that reaches its peak when her sister unexpectedly brings a boyfriend she never even heard of to a family vacation. And he comes with his brother, who happens to be Wes.  Forced to share a room and spend time together, their chemistry becomes undeniable. They stick together, through family drama and get really, really, close.  But they still have an epic battle to finish.  It's a true enemy to lovers' romance, with so much tension that is sure to make your heart ...
