Reviews from the heart.
Male Characters that is… 😏
Hello, dearies! 🙃
Because of a post on one of my favourite book characters, I realised that I haven’t updated or done a book characters from romances in like ever, I have never done it.
So, here we are… I’ll try to keep it short… even when we know that it is not my forte. 😆

Hello, dearies! 🧑🚒
Welcome to 2025’s first finished book, but that came from 2024 because I started reading in December.
Beautiful Burn is about the burn, nah, that’s a bad joke. It is about two people who like each other and would walk through fire for their love, in the end, and if there was a fire Tyler would burn for Ellie.
Now, a quick note. The only thing that I agreed with Ellie on this book was that Jim was a former detective and Abby was smart and so they would have to know that what the Maddox Brothers said they did for a living was a lie. 🚒

I don’t know.
Don’t ask me what was missing but something was, probably in the last 10% of it. Maybe somewhere in how it ended.
Hello, dearies! 🚨
I finished the second book on The Maddox Brothers book series Beautiful Redemption, which is Thomas Maddox story. And no, that’s not spoilers because it is in the description of the book, unless you don’t all Maddox boys and how their stories would then get ready because everything on this review might be spoiler.

Oblivion indeed. 😮
Hello, dearies! 📚
OMFJC on a cracker. 🍂
This woman got me, I didn’t see that coming. I had no clue. I still don’t understand what the big secret is about.
Other than the fact that TJ knew that Trenton was in love with Camille his whole life and he still went and asked her out, crappy move there, but I suppose since they were not together it was fair.
But I did not know it was HIM.
Okay, let’s do this review right.

I couldn’t wait for the book to be over. I’m proud because I finished it, but disappointed because I let Booktok trick me into reading it. 🥹
Hello, dearies! 📖
Not all that you read on those descriptions of books on TikTok is accurate, always keep that fresh in your mind as it is true, and it is not the first time that it has happened to me, just that other times I don’t follow through, but this time I really thought: hey, this Bullets and Bonfires might be interesting.
And it was, but not quite what I was expecting of the book.
All of that said, I enjoyed parts and bits of this book, I did not fall for the main characters neither the “hero” nor the “heroine”, there were instances that I cringed, and that has not happened to me in… ever, I think, if it has I blocked it out, some parts I basically skimmed, say a page because I didn’t find it completely relevant or worth it of the story, I know it was, this was when Bree was talking to Teller, and to be honest all the side characters got my attention more than the main two.

Welcome, dearies! 💍
This is the first time I do a light novel review.
A light novel, or ライトノベル (raito noberu) in Japanese, is a popular form of literature originating from Japan. It is typically categorized as young adult fiction, with its primary audience being teenagers and young adults in their twenties.
However the review still remains the same way as it is me rambling here. Alright, alright, today’s novel is My Happy Marriage #1, why specify the one? Because so far there are 8 books in this series. I’m glad I didn’t know about it back in 2019 when it came out for Japan because I wouldn’t have been able to read it as only on January 18, 2022, did the English version come out. And thanks to Yen Press, it seems like I’m always promoting them but I really am not, I wish I got free stuff but true is that YP has a lot of my favourites so I often find myself buying the manga and books from there. In any case, I got MHM in the mail back in June, you can check out the book mail for it here.

I’ll try to keep it short, and to the point.
NANA description:
Nana “Hachi” Komatsu hopes that moving to Tokyo will help her make a clean start and leave her capricious love life behind her. Nana Osaki, who arrives in the city at the same time, has plans to score big in the world of rock’n’roll. Although these two young women come from different backgrounds, they quickly become best friends in a whirlwind world of sex, music, fashion, gossip and all-night parties! Anxious to get into a Tokyo groove, both women are on the prowl for a funky and cheap place to live. But inexpensive apartments in Japan’s capital city are hard to find. Thank goodness each Nana has a clique of cool friends willing to help out. Too bad these friends are a little wiggy!

Where to start? I suppose from how I got here? Oh well, I first read the description for the sixth book in the series, Teacher, and was intrigued as hell, then I saw it was a whole series, and of course, I couldn’t read the last one first, so it began my journey.
The Voyeur Series has 6 books and a short story that you can read for free here.

Main Characters: Travis Maddox. Abby Abernathy.
I cannot believe I don’t have a book review for Beautiful Disaster. And honestly, all that I remember is that I loved it at the time, despite being kind of a regular one, a romance, yes, but no fantasy in there. Yet, it hooked me for a time. 💞
Now, there is a movie in the making, and for some reason, I am excited about it. I am not feeling the actors that much, but I want to watch. Filming ends this week, and Jamie has been giving us regular news on it, and it’s making me want to read the book again. There are two sides of Beautiful Disaster, from Abby’s point of view and from Travis’, and the one from Travis freaking Maddox was too much excitement. I mean, he is on my list of favourite male characters in books, so there, I admit that bad boys do hold their appeal.
