Ah, finally found what I was looking for after being disappointed with previous reads. Also, I didn't care much about the romance though so I had no complex thoughts regarding that matter. Next, Book 2!

The Darkest Hour (A KGI Novel)

DNF @ 37%

I was in the mood to read something suspense, mystery and thriller. Oh how I did enjoy the action at the beginning of the book only to find the excitement was short and killed with uber emotional afterwards.

I wanted to finish it but the more I went through, it gotten weird and weirder. Let me tell you why.

I didn't feel the connection between Ethan and Rachel - note that they're married. However, there was a spark between Rachel and Garrett, Ethan's brother - which didn't bode well with me. I begun to think "Uh oh somebody married to a wrong brother." I didn't know what other readers might think of this but to me, it seems it's wrong on so many levels.

Endearment from Ethan to his wife, it didn't bother me. Others as well too but with moderate usage. However, in this book, it was overrated.

I get the family affection and all but why did it feel like... incest.

Too emotional. I'm not ready to handle that after previous read.

Seriously, it was a bummer because it was action pack with a little bit of romance of course that I was looking for. Not some drama llama emotional drained thing.

Anyway, I rest my case here. I guess everybody loves it but me. Read on your own peril.

This book was great. I loved the romance between Arthur and Anna. It was sizzling, all right. I loved the plot line too. It was very interesting.

You know, reading this book makes me wish to visit Scotland someday.

I didn't like the heroine AT ALL. She was so annoying. Thank goodness I loved the hero. He's the best so far and quite charming. Also, he was a former professional surfer guy and still surf! What's not to love about that, eh?

Once in a Lifetime (Lucky Harbor)

This book was amazing! It had a wonderful story and I really loved it! I loved the main characters. The list stuff thing was brilliant and I liked the mystery as well that got me hooked until the end. Just awesome.

By the way...

I learnt that the next trilogy will the final one in this series. In other word, there will be no more Lucky Harbor after Book 12. I want to cry. No, scratch that. I'm actually crying because I'm going to miss everything about this series. I'm going to miss it terribly. Sobs.

Highly recommended.

Haunting Blackie: 8 (Cyborg Seduction)

I love this series! You are awesome, Laurann Dohner.

What I disliked.
I just don't understand why I felt dull chemistry between Blackie and Eve. I tried to like them as a couple but I couldn't. Also, I found Eve's annoying. Well, sometimes.

What I liked.
Although Eve isn't in the top of my favourite heroines' list, she's kickass though. I loved heroines who are independent and can protect themselves, don't need help from heroes, you know. Blackie's hot. Also, I loved Danica. I even loved the idea of Danica and Gene. Their chemistry was palpable.

Here I'm wondering when will the next book out. I hope it's sooner enough.

Recommended if you like erotic PNR.
