diary of a wannabe writer

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. :...

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

rating ❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover ❤ ❤ ❤ He is her brother's best friend and her biggest enemy. He insulted her when they first met and it has just gone downhill from there. Each encounter is filled with insults and pranks that get worse each time. It all escalated when he came to a Christmas holiday with her brother. There is mad tension between them, shifting from hate to attraction. The romance is fast, and steamy. There is mad tension between them and sparks just fly. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop, it's so addicting! It's light, fun, and full of chemistry and pranks. :) Goodreads  //  Amazon happy reading, anie

Mack and Katy are both teachers at the same school in NY. Mack teaches music and his class is often very loud, while Katy tries to teach math. But they don't get along. Mack is very easygoing and loved by everyone. Katy has a huge problem with that and is very uptight. On long awaited getaways they get stuck together in the same place. Being that close together means they get closer, especially after Katy gets injured and he takes care of her. It gets hot and steamy fast, but Katy has no idea what she wants. She foes between wanting him and totally ignoring him all of the time. I like the enemies-to-lovers narrative and the forced proximity of just one holiday condo. It was a funny and entertaining story to listen to. Unfortunately, I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I didn't like the narration and had trouble staying focused on the story, especially with the male parts. The story also felt very immature, and it would be nice if the characters had more depth or...

A Curse of Blood and Wolves is a paranormal retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Ruby works at a bar and walks home through the woods every night. She feels eyes on her almost every time and once she confronts the stranger following her. But she doesn't fear when she sees him. Rafe is a werewolf, living alone, away from his pack. He keeps following Ruby trying to keep her safe, cause he feels drawn to her. I love the premise of the story, it's a fun take on the fairytale, and I like the paranormal aspect. The writing is very easy to get into and read, the story really comes alive before your eyes and the characters feel real. But where I had trouble was the storyline, I just couldn't get into it., I kept putting it down. rating ❤ ❤ ❤ cover  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie
