Crash by Nicole Williams

Southpointe High is the last place Lucy wanted to wind up her senior year of school. Right up until she stumbles into Jude Ryder, a guy whose name has become its own verb, and synonymous with trouble. He's got a rap sheet that runs longer than a senior thesis, has had his name sighed, shouted, and cursed by more women than Lucy dares to ask, and lives at the local boys home where disturbed seems to be the status quo for the residents. Lucy had a stable at best, quirky at worst, upbringing. She lives for wearing the satin down on her ballet shoes, has her sights set on Juilliard, and has been careful to keep trouble out of her life. Up until now. 

Jude's everything she needs to stay away from if she wants to separate her past from her future. Staying away, she's about to find out, is the only thing she's incapable of. 

For Lucy Larson and Jude Ryder, love's about to become the thing that tears them apart.

The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons

A magnificent epic of love, war and Russia from the international bestselling author of TULLY and ROAD TO PARADISE Leningrad 1941: the white nights of summer illuminate a city of fallen grandeur whose palaces and avenues speak of a different age, when Leningrad was known as St Petersburg. Two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha, share the same bed, living in one room with their brother and parents. The routine of their hard impoverished life is shattered on 22 June 1941 when Hitler invades Russia. For the Metanov family, for Leningrad and particularly for Tatiana, life will never be the same again. On that fateful day, Tatiana meets a brash young man named Alexander. The family suffers as Hitler's army advances on Leningrad, and the Russian winter closes in. With bombs falling and the city under siege, Tatiana and Alexander are drawn inexorably to each other, but theirs is a love that could tear Tatiana's family apart, and at its heart lies a secret that could mean death to anyone who hears it. Confronted on the one hand by Hitler's vast war machine, and on the other by a Soviet system determined to crush the human spirit, Tatiana and Alexander are pitted against the very tide of history, at a turning point in the century that made the modern world.

MY REVIEW

Set in a time and place where all hope is gone, where courage will be tested, where death is inevitable, where love blossomed inspite of chaos... the only way to survive is what you believed in, what you hoped for and what you loved...

It took me 7 days to finished The Bronze Horseman, it's a long read but it is worthy. Written beautifully its like I'm watching a movie, the story flowed smoothly and very clear. I thought I would be having a hard time imagining the characters and place because of the plot of the story which is set during the World War II, but I was wrong it was narrated and describe very clearly, I was mesmerize on how it was written, magnificent writing. It is hard for me to stop reading cause I want to know what happens next, reading their story is very addictive. Who would have thought that even in War two people can find solace in each other. And now I believe in love at first sight because of Shura! 

The story captured my heart, I cried a lot cause i can feel her pain, his pain. Different kinds of emotion engulf me. It is the best love story that I've read.

I love Tatiana and I love Alexander. They are perfect for each other, their love is tested from the very beginning but they remain together despite the obstacles and struggles they encounter. Their love story is like a 'breath of fresh air' very innocent and pure. I admire Tatiana's devotion and strength and her undying love for Shura. And Shura I love him! All of him! He is perfect even with flaws. I love everything about him. Like Tania I would do everything for him. But every love story has its ending what awaits for them is for me to find out in book two.

Magnificent author, the story is beautifully written, it is not your ordinary love story, it shows the true meaning of Love, Sacrifice... For me I will rate it with endless star!

Ten Tiny Breaths by K.A. Tucker

Kacey Cleary’s whole life imploded four years ago in a drunk-driving accident. Now she’s working hard to bury the pieces left behind—all but one. Her little sister, Livie. Kacey can swallow the constant disapproval from her born-again aunt Darla over her self-destructive lifestyle; she can stop herself from going kick-boxer crazy on Uncle Raymond when he loses the girls’ college funds at a blackjack table. She just needs to keep it together until Livie is no longer a minor, and then they can get the hell out of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

But when Uncle Raymond slides into bed next to Livie one night, Kacey decides it’s time to run. Armed with two bus tickets and dreams of living near the coast, Kacey and Livie start their new lives in a Miami apartment complex, complete with a grumpy landlord, a pervert upstairs, and a neighbor with a stage name perfectly matched to her chosen “profession.” But Kacey’s not worried. She can handle all of them. What she can’t handle is Trent Emerson in apartment 1D.

Kacey doesn’t want to feel. She doesn’t. It’s safer that way. For everyone. But sexy Trent finds a way into her numb heart, reigniting her ability to love again. She starts to believe that maybe she can leave the past where it belongs and start over. Maybe she’s not beyond repair.

But Kacey isn’t the only one who’s broken. Seemingly perfect Trent has an unforgiveable past of his own; one that, when discovered, will shatter Kacey’s newly constructed life and send her back into suffocating darkness.

My Precious

My very first author, Sidney Sheldon. I start reading his books back in high school. While most of my classmate reads Sweet Valley High and Archie I'm hooked with Sidney Sheldon, he opened my eyes to a different world of mystery, lust, adventure and love. I really love the old book cover ❤ my first book actually is Bloodline, planning to reread it again.

I start exploring different author's works. I have Paulo Coelho, Mitch Albom, and Susan Elizabeth Phillips

And I join the craze with the Fifty Shades Series Fever here in the Philippines, my hubby read about an article of how interesting the book was so I grab my copies and wow oh wow a different story from what I used to read. I love it! I even bring the books at my work to finished all the 3 books, (I'm a certified book addict). And then I fell in love with Travis and Remy! Gideon is next. lol

Even though ebooks is more convenient and cheap, I still collect books it gives me an unexplainable happiness and sense of fulfillment. 

I'm crazy about bookz and I'm proud of it! 💋
