    10 Book Characters from Romances to Go Back to

    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. 😆

  • Unchained by A Forbidden Love [Eternal Mates #15] Book Review

    Unchained by A Forbidden Love [Eternal Mates #15] Book Review

    If it is not an easy 5, I have to give it 4.

    Book: Unchained by a Forbidden Love

    Series: Eternal Mates #15

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Page count: 290

    Genres: Fantasy. Romance. Paranormal. Fae. Shapeshifters. Dark Elves.

    I wanted to give this one 5 so badly, and the first 10% to 60% I read non stop, there it was the juicy part and the angst, the falling for the characters.

    Hello, dearies! 💜

    I started off this one without any greeting but I had to get it out first. Well then… what was missing in Unchained by a Forbidden Love? What made me rethink and not go for the top rating? Probably the repetitive moments or long internal dialogues.

    I get it, they were necessary at some points to convey the dilemma of Fuery, not so much with Shaia, she was a bit annoying to be honest.

    TBT: The Smoke Thief

    Hello, dearies! 🐲

    It’s been a while since I did a TBT, but recently I have been feeling that longing to re-read a good book and one that I have loved for a while is The Smoke Thief by Shana Abé.

    This was the first book I read by this author I think 10 years ago or so, wow! I did not expect to think back and see that it has been that long since I first picked up and only after a small description and learning that it was about dragons, that was more than enough for me.

    Possessed by a Dark Warrior [Eternal Mates #9] Book Review

    Maybe I set my expectations too high.

    Perhaps I thought too much while reading it.

    Or simply Bleu was not what I was expecting but this had all the potential.

    Book Title: Possessed by a Dark Warrior

    Book Series: Eternal Mates #9

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Genres: Romance. Demons. Shapeshifters. Paranormal. Fantasy.

    Page Count: 453 pages

    4 ⭐

    4 stars and I am being generous. I have a soft spot for elves as you might know from my other reviews of these series. And I like romance fantasy, however, there was something not quite there and I cannot wrap my finger around it.

    Hello, dearies! Welcome to this full review of Namaikizakari.

    It was the best ending for this romance/sports manga. Yuki and Shō are really my favourite.

    I can’t remember when I first started reading it but I do remember that after that first chapter I had to continue.

    July Book Mail: Light Novels

    Hello, dearies! 📬

    I got new books in the mail and of course, I had to share them with you. 🥰

    Why do I buy so many light novels? They are light, lol. They don’t occupy as much as space as the hardcover books that I want to have on my bookshelf.

    But I got this particular ones because I really enjoyed My Happy Marriage Vol. 1 and I wanted to continue the story straightaway.

  • Taken by a Dragon: Book Review

    Taken by a Dragon: Book Review

    Series: Eternal Mates

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Genres: Dragons, Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Urban

    That title sounds a bit stronger than the book actually is…

    It took me a while to finish to be honest.

    But the last 10% it came rolling back to life.

    Also, one chapter was dedicated entirely to introducing a new character and get your attention to another book. It was too obvious but it did the job because I added that book to my TBR 😅😆. I’m a sucker for fantasy, angels, and romances. As I have previously stated on these reviews about the Eternal Mates Series.

    Hello, dearies! I might end up reading all 19 books one day. For now, I’m mixing and jumping among them, even when I usually like to read books in order, this particular series can be read like this almost without problem.

    Well, it hadn’t been such a problem so far until this one where there were some characters that I knew who they were but didn’t know they ended up together, so spoilers for me. 🥹🥲 But it’s alright, I brought that on myself for skipping books.

    TBT: Kissed by a Dark Prince

    Hello, dearies! 💜

    This one acts as a TBT because I had read this one before, but I re-read it again recently and it almost felt like the first time 😄.

    I could barely remember what happened on this one, but one thing was clear, I didn’t misremember the fact that I freaking loved this book. I knew there was a reason for me to like Tempted by a Rogue Prince so much (book #3 in this series). It’s all because of the incredibly honest princes here. Wow.

    Spoiler Time Sunday: NANA (Anime)

    Oh wow… I’m not even remotely ready to talk about this one.

    Anime: NANA

    Genres: Romance. Josei. Drama. Music. So much drama.

    Director: Morio Asaka

    Originally a Manga by Ai Yazawa-sensei

    You can watch it on Netflix or Crunchyroll.

    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!
