80: Book Rant: Sinful by Charlotte Featherstone

omg, first I have to collect my thought. I'm still in spaz.

okay, inhale exhale.

I was skeptical about reading this because someone had left a nasty review on this book that took out all of the enthusiasm I have (okay, remind me not to read reviews again ). But I have tried to read this and thought just to get on with it. So I started earlier in the morning until I realized that I was dragged. The book had dragged me and made me so hook that I spent the last of my 9 hours reading it; and finishing it within the day. ~ I kick arse, ain't I? hahaha.

I love love love how Charlotte Featherstone write. So far with the last two books that I have read I was not disappointed. She brings the emotion in the story. She shares to the reader the depth of the emotions that her characters were feeling. Thus, I couldn't help but share with them what they are going through. I had been angry, sad, happy, just by reading it.

~ I love you Charlotte for being a good author! ~

The characters in the book had so much depth in them that I understood so clearly why they are lead to be that way. It was easy for me to understand them. To sympathize with them because I had understood their character.

What I also love about this book is that it did not tread to the usual historical - romance plot. It had its own twist. It would take you for a ride while clenching your hands against your heart because it's going to be broken ... then mended.

All in all, I recommend this book. If you love a deep -- I mean emotionally deep -- gut wrenching deep historical romance pick this one. It's not a disappointment.

... I want to say something though; damn all the characters who gets in the way for their happily ever after. hahaha!



Well off I go and to read the epilogue!

71: Book Rant: Voyager by Diana Gabaldon

OMG. I finally have finished it, yet I am not yet ready to move to book #4! You can't imagine what I'm feel right now. Totally mixed emotion: Happiness, longing, and dread. I want to weep. This third installment of the series is where Claire had finally reunited with Jaime after they parted in book #2 (Dragonfly in Amber) .

After 20 years, Claire had learned the Jaime survived the Culloden War thus her decision to return to the stone to go back to him (who the hell wouldn't? I would! I would!)

During the times they were apart, I have shared with them their feeling of sadness and loneliness. I think I can no longer go back to the part where Claire and Jaime had went on to their separate life. It was depressing. It was saddening in deed.

I do not like reading the moments of their separate life because it was really nauseating. Plus, people who gets into their relationship is annoying! But when I got to the point where they reunited, my, sparks fly. I cannot contain my happiness when they got back together! So Happy!

Anyway, the voyager will take your emotions in different heights. I also love the adventure behind and the incredibly surprises and twists and turns. I cannot wait to read the next book but I have to stifle the urge for a while because I want to prolong my reading. I would want to go back reading Outlander again and understand the book more. :)

This is not a disappointment.

64: Book Rant: Simply Forbidden by Kate Pearce

Your most scorching desires come blissfully true at Madame Helene's Pleasure House--an elite brothel in Regency England where passion has no limits. . .


Nothing's More Satisfying Than. . .

With an unconventional upbringing and a reputation as a shameless flirt, Lisette Delornay-Ross is not your typical young lady of the ton. Unlike her peers, she is not afraid to follow her desires. And what she desires is Major Lord Gabriel Swanfield. . .


Fulfilling Forbidden Passions. . .
Returned to England after his harrowing ordeal as a war prisoner, Gabriel has shunned society. When Lisette brazenly confronts him, he feels an overwhelming stirring of lust. He's sure she would never entertain the illicit desires he indulges at Madame Helene's. But when he kisses her, he discovers her thirst for pleasure--and adventure--matches his. . .




Finally the 6th of the series!

You cannot imagine how I am so relived that I am about to finish this series.

I'm not much of an erotic reader but to say that though this series is highly unusual to appeal my taste - it did. Surprisingly. I don't know why this did. The series contains m/m/f, anal, m/m, BDSM, etc.,. Not for the faint heart. I'm not into this kinds of books. I love romance. I love love stories. Not sadomasochism. But probably I'm a masochist myself (only in terms of reading!) so I take pleasure reading books that will torture me.

So what I have to say about this book: First, I am surprised to say that in the House of Pleasure series this book is the tamest of them all. Second, there are less m/m/f action and the hero is not incredibly hungry towards sex. Unlike the previous book wherein the heroes are REALLY into sex.

Anyway, Gabriel and Lisette stands second to my favorite couple in this series just because they want their relationship just just between them. Thank God. I think I had enough of the menage a trois. hahaha!

I think the book was a little dragging because I got a little annoyed with their behaviors. But then it could be be looked over. I love that this book made me feel I am reading my usual historical-romance, the hero has a tortured past while the heroine has a strong personality. Also, the story does not only revolve around sex but you'll read how they developed their relationship as a couple. Lastly, their conflicts in their past has more depth.

You might enjoy reading this if you are not squeamish because there are scenes that MIGHT cause you to cringe ~ mostly in the sex scenes. But hey this is an erotica book what do you expect?

All in all the book was good. You'd like it if you are an erotica/historical romance reader.

Rating: 3/5
