Rush

Rush by Maya Banks

You know I have heard a lot about this author, she is really popular in the romantic, erotic kind of books, so I decided to take a look to one and I was like huh it's not that bad. I know I always mention this, but after reading Fifty Shades you either expect much more from another book of it's kind. You always compare the other books to Fifty Shades. So I chose this trilogy to start with her books, and I thought they were pretty good. These books were not as intense as I was expecting and I like that. You know you get to a certain point were reading the same kind of staff is tiring. I actually skip all the intimate parts now, I find them all the same!

Ok, well this book is about Gabe and Mia, of course Gabe is the wealthy, passionate, the cold one (they should try to make a book that the girl is the wealthy, passionate and demanding, so she could pervert the poor, intelligent, and virgin guy) Now that I mention it,  imagine a book about Elene Lincoln aka Mrs. Robinson from Fifty Shades of Grey, it would be awesome to read her story!!! I'm going off topic again!! Gabe is a wealthy man, who likes to have his personal life really private, and have the girls sign a contract which specify what kind of pleasures they can have with him. (sounds familiar?) Mia is the sister of one his company partners Jace which Mia and Gabe know each other since she was a young girl. Now that Mia is 24 she is old enough to have a relationship with Gabe. Of course Gabe has always been Mia's love since she was a teen and doesn't think twice when Gabe asks her to join her on her guilty pleasures. Mia decides to go for it, but after a uncomfortable situation involving different people, Mia decides that that kind of life is not her and the book goes on with Gabe changing some things for her, until they both happy and together. This is an OK book, like i said nothing really different. I just can't help but compared all the books, they all have the same problems, the same drama, the same characters. I know the second book Fever this book is all about Jace, Mia's brother and the third book is about Ash, Jace's best friend who also works for Gabe. I might give it a try.

Aftershock/Afterburn

by Sylvia Day

These were two short ebooks, that now are printed in one book. I have had this book at my library for a while and it was until yesterday that I started reading and I finished right away. Whoot whoot! it was actually really good just a little different from the Crossfire trilogy, same as for excitement! This book is about Gianna a restaurateur who is working for a large company in NY. Gianna comes from a very close italian family, and her job is her life until of course a man comes to her life. Jax is Gianna's ex lover who left her two years ago and now due to her new job, he has also come back to her life. But that is not all, he is making Gianna's life miserable and also full of romanticism and love! Really short book compare to the trilogies that I've been reading lately, and I kind of want to read more! I really recommend these books if you're up for something quick and entertaining.

Beauty from Pain

Beauty from Pain by Georgia Cates

I really don't understand this title lol, it has nothing to do with pain. I mean, I thought I was going to be reading some BDSM kind of book, but I am glad it wasn't. I found this book for free on iBooks and I really liked it.

This book is about Laurelyn an American girl who's going to Australia for three months with her best friend Addison. Laurelyn goes running to Australia from the States because of a bad relationship. Basically, what happens is that there is this mysterious man who is looking for his next victim at this very same club where Laurelyn is with her friends. He finds Laurelyn and he convinces her to be in a three month agreement to be together, but only for those three months. He assures her that those months she will enjoy all of sorts of things, gifts, trips and sex. Of course this agreement estates that she won't know his true identity and he won't know hers. This guy is a multimillionaire and doesn't want any commitments with anybody, and of course doesn't want any stalkers, like the one he has now. For some reason Laurelyn agrees with this craziness, and starts a relationship full of lies and they will be discovering the truth little by little and end up falling in love.

This is a really good book, just a little different from the other books yet very similar if you know what I mean. This is the first book out of three and of course I will continue with book # 2 soon.

El Affaire Blackstone

Ya termine la serie de libros del Affaire Blakstone de Raine Miller.

La verdad no puedo recordar que paso exactamente con el libro # 2 Todo o Nada. En realidad no hubo nada tan emocionante que me haga recordar lo que paso, solo Ethan y Brynne una pareja que esta conociendose mutuamente, los dos con secretos que se van descubriendo poco a poco. Eso si es algo que me gusto de estos libros que la autora no tardo hasta el ultimo momento para descubrir todo los secretos. Ya saben hay algunos libros que se tardan todo el libro ya hasta el mero final se descubre todo y zapatelas!! pero este no.  Otra cosa que tambien me gusto, esque no hubo una tercera persona en ningun libro de la trilogia, claro si hay un loco ex novio que no les voy a platicar de el porque de eso se trata el drama, pero nada de esa persona resbalosa que quiere quitarle el novio a la otra o viceversa :/ La verdad si estas buscando de una trilogia llena de amor, romance y secretos estos libros estan de maravilla!

*Spoilers (Si no has leido este libro no leas esta parte)

El ultimo libro se titula Sorprendida

Este libro fue el que mas me gusto, tenia mucha accion! Si ustedes se acuerdan el segundo libro termino un con super final, cuando Brynne se entera que el papa de ella habia contratado a Ethan para vigilarla y es asi como estos se llegaron a conocer. Obvio ella devastada se va y lo deja, pero me gusto que en el tercer libro ellos hablan del problema y se reconcilian y de ahi nada mas sobre el tema. En este libro se dan a conocer mas secretos sobre estos dos y claro que al final se sabe quien es que esta atormentando y siguiendo a Brynne, sobre todo me encanto que ahi la heroina es ella y no Ethan que eso tambien fue un giro a un final inesperado.

Se que la autora esta en proceso de publicar el cuarto libro, lo que no se es si es una continuacion de esta serie o es algo diferente.

Desnuda

Desnuda escrita por Raine Miller.

Desnuda es el primer libro de la serie El Affaire Blackstone. Este libro esta buenisimo! Se trata de Bryanne, una muchacha Americana que esta viviendo en Londres, ella es estudiante de arte y a la vez una modelo.  Esta historia comienza cuando Ethan un directivo de una compania de seguraridad y es contactado por el papa de Bryanne. El papa de Bryanne le pide que se haga cargo de la seguridad de su hija porque piensa que corre peligro. Ehan accede a esto cuando ve una foto de Bryanne posando desnuda y rapidamente queda encaprichado con ella. Aunque se enamoran rapidamente Bryanne no quiere entregarse completamente a el porque tiene un pasado abrumador que le afecto su vida. Ahora que su relacion va avanzando, ella esta aprendiendo a confiar mas en el cuando descubre que en realidad su papa fue el que lo contrato para cuidar de ella.  La verdad esque este libro si me gusto, es romantico, tiene secretos, drama y es intenso. A diferiencia a otros libros como el de Cincuenta Sombras de Gray no hay una tercera persona en su relacion. Me gusta que este libro tiene un poco de drama y secretos politicos tambien, hace que este libro sea diferente a los demas. Y el final estuvo muy bueno!! Ya empeze a leer el segundo libro que ahora es Ethan el que cuenta su version de la historia.

Just One Night

Just One night by Kyra Davis
17571567
The back of this book says that this book gives Fifty Shades of Grey a run for its money and that this novel gives some depth, respect, and sexual tension to the genre, but I don't believe that. I really didn't like this book as much as other books of this genre. It started really good at the beginning, Kasie a Harvard grad who works in one of the best companies of LA. Kasie is responsible, smart, and determined, and she is also engaged with her dream guy. Dave comes from a good family, he is rich, has a good job, and above all loves Kasie.  Although their relationship is really predictable, she knows that Dave is the guy for her, she doesn't want to disappoint her family, and she doesn't want to disappoint herself. Everything is going well until one day she goes to Vegas with her best friend, who encourages her to sleep with a stranger before she marries Dave, she wants her to enjoy her life for this last time. This is how she meets Robert an intense, dangerous, dominant and of course rich guy who wants her from that very same moment, and like that they have a wild night together. After that night she returns to her predictable life at work and with Dave, until Robert Dade finds her. That part was interesting, and that part I did like, but  the rest of the book wasn't that interesting, everybody went crazy! Robert was too possessive, not seductive possessive he was just rich and wanted everyone to serve him. Kasie was in between two people who wanted her to be like a puppet. Her co-workers were crazy. Every other book that I read of this genre have some romance on them. I have felt the chemistry the romance even the love between the characters, and that makes me understand about the dominance from the male and jealousy. It is a good book but sadly  not one of my favorites. BTW for my understanding this paperback includes the three ebooks in one.

Here is the link to read the reviews in goodreads. The only good thing about this book is that Kasie describes Robert Dade like Taylor Kinney and I TOTALLY love him! He is my very example of my dream guy. How lucky Lady Gaga

En tu Piel/ If I Were You

En tu piel de Lisa Renee Jones

La semana pasada sali de vacaciones con mi familia a Miami y despues unos dias mas a Mexico. Y me lleve este libro para leer en el avion (esto es lo bueno de tener un libro y no un ebook). Este es un libro nuevo que habia llegado a la biblioteca esa semana y me llamo la atencion la portada asi es que me lo lleve. Me gusto la historia, es quizas un poco diferente a los libros que he leido ultimamente no tan erotica jaja pero si de romance y esos tambien me gustan. Sara es una profesora que se topa con unos diarios intimos de una tal Rebecca. Rebecca cuenta sus intimadades con un hombre peligroso y misterioso que le gusta lastimarla para provocar placer. Este libro no lleva a fondo lo que Rebecca escribio en el diario, solo poco fragmentos de ellos, pero se que estos Diarios de Rebecca se venden por separado en eBooks.  Este libro se trata de Sara al querer saber quien es Rebecca y que es lo que paso con ella y con este hombre misterioso.  Ella entra a trabajar a un lugar nuevo, conoce a dos hombres que le llaman mucho la atencion por ser tan peligrosos y demasiado atractivos. Sara piensa que quizas uno de ellos es el hombre misterioso de el diario de Rebecca asi es que ella termina enredada en la vida de Rebecca al querer investigar que es lo que paso con ella. Me gusto el libro, quizas no el mejor libro que eh leido pero si me gustaria leer el siguiente. El final no me gusto de hecho no sabia que este libro era el primero de una trilogia, asi es como ya saben me dejo asi como que???  que paso??? no paso nada de nada, con eso me refiero a que no me dejo tan picada en leer mas, y a la vez si quiero leer mas. No se la verdad es un final raro muy seco sin altas ni bajas. Este libro no lo compraria a menos que estuviera super barato, mejor esperare a que llegue a la biblioteca. ^_^



En mi viaje a Mexico cuando visite un mall, me encontre con el tercer libro de "This Man" la serie. "Mi Hombre" en español. Me emocione mucho primero porque es muy raro encontrar una libreria en algunas partes de Mexico (en especial de donde soy yo). Estaba a punto de no comprarlo porque 1ra estaba muy caro $28 dolares! y 2da es que tenian nada mas el tercer libro! pero bueno al final lo compre porque a mi si me encanto esta trilogia la verdad. Me volvio loca de angustia, me dio dolor de cabeza en el tiempo que lo lei pero pues igual asi de masoquista soy y si me gustaron mucho jeje

Pideme lo que Quieras, Ahora y Siempre

Libro # 2 de la trilogia de Megan Maxwell


Si ustedes leyeron mi reseña/review del primer libro ya sabes masomenos de que es lo que se trata este libro o dale click aqui. Pideme lo que quieras es un libro muy fuerte en terminos que yo nunca habia pensado con respecto al sexo. De verdad que una persona nunca termina de aprender en esta vida! Al principio si me hizo un poco pesado pero a la vez la historia lo recompensa, es una historia facil de leer y divertida. A mi por lo general me gustan libros que desde el primer capitulo me atrapen en la historia y me hacen querer leer mas. Estos libros son asi,  desde el comienzo me atraparon y asi continuaron durante todo el libro. Este segundo libro quiza un poquito menos pero aun asi lo termine. En este libro # 2 no hay tanto sexo pero cuando lo hay lo hay, me entienden? jeje Ahora en esta historia es mas como los problemas que Eric y Jud estan pasando como pareja, hay celos, esta Flyn el sobrino consentido esta la familia y valla muchas cosas mas. En este libro es mas como ellos dos Eric y Jud dos polos opuestos trabajan en  sus diferiencias. A veces como que me quedaba asi como que??? que paso? Judith me ponia histerica por ser tan dramatica, pero de algun modo la entendia. La verdad si me gusto, pienso que faltaron cosas por discutir como la enfermedad de Eric, pero nada tan importante. Lo que me parecio raro es el final, ese si parecio final jeje espera no me estoy explicando bien terminaron felices! pero se supone que falta otro libro y como que no me atrae mucho leerlo porque lo feliz ya paso. Tu sabes en una trilogia el primer y segundo libro por lo general terminan catrastoficamente porque el verdadero y feliz final es hasta el ultimo libro. A mi si me gustaron estos libros pero no creo que compraria el tercero, mejor me espero hasta que llegue a la biblioteca y asi tomarlo. Para esas personas que no les gusto tanto las partes intimas quizas este libro les guste mas. Y claro que seguire leyendo mas sobre esta autora ^-^

Pideme lo que Quieras

..but I am here! I also have been reading but most of them Spanish books. There is a book in particular that caught my attention and really liked it. The book is called Pideme lo que Quieras (Ask me whatever you want) by the Spanish author Megan Maxwell.
Now let me just tell you that this book is erotic! OMG I didn't know that this book was going to be this hot! We got the book at the library where I work, and obviously I had no idea the type of book that it was. But let me tell you that this book is hotter than Fifty Shades of Grey, hotter than the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day and a bit hotter than the This Man Series. Now since this book is in Spanish I am going to write my review in Spanish. I think I have a link above this page in case you want to translate this. ------>

El libro que termine de leer se llama Pideme lo que Quieras de Megan Maxwell. Este es el primer de tres libros. Cuando el libro llego a la biblioteca donde yo trabajo lo vi y la portada me llamo la atencion. Una portada simple, parecida a los de Twilight or Crepusculo, pero ahi abajito dice no apto para menores de 18 años y pues eso me llamo mas la atencion. El libro empieza cuando Judith ve a su jefa y un compañero de la oficina en una situacion muy comprometedora en el parking del trabajo. Desde ahi la autora me llamo la atencion y tuve una idea del tipo del libro que era. Este libro es quizas mas fuerte que el de Cincuenta Sombras de Grey, mas que los libros de Silvya Day, este libro es erotico, lleno de morbo y sexo! Yo no sabia lo juro!!  hay unas partes que esta muy fuerte la verdad, (y mas si no tienes una mente abierta) pero la historia es buenisima. Ahi la heroina o la persona fuerte es Judith, ella es una española fuerte, que se anima a todo! Que tiene una boca que nunca la puede cerrar (literalmente) jeje es super honesta y gritona. A veces como que se pasaba de dramatica jeje pero una persona muy real.  Eric es un Aleman que viene a visitar las empresas que su padre le dejo y obviamente es donde conoce a Judith.  Es el hombre que la enseña a muchas cosas que ella nunca (ni yo) se imaginaria que existieran. Ellos juntos van a vivir un monton de fantasias sexuales que te dejaran con la boca abierta! La verdad no quede "enamorada" de Eric como quede por Cristian Grey <3 pero el es igual de fuerte y terco como los demas.  La verdad que les recomiendo este libro si esque te gusta este tipo de libros. Si tu creiste que Cincuenta sombras esta fuerte, creo que este libro esta mucho mas! Ahora estoy en el libro #2.

Fallen too Far

Awee I just finished reading Fallen Too Far! man!! how I love this book, this is definitely one of my favorites, if is not my most favorite book!!! You know this is not the kind of book that you can only read once, this book can be read over and over. Fifty Shades of Grey is also one of those books that you just don't get tired of reading. Even though you know the whole story, you still get excited every time you read it. That's what makes a good book, to an unforgettable book. I actually read Breathe a couple of weeks ago also from Abbi Glines, this book however was more intense! I kept telling Jasmine that this book had some more to it, like more explicit episodes from Jax's part. I also love that book so much, and now even more. I am almost done reading This Man Confessed book # 3 from the Man Series (another of my favorites).

Beneath This Man

This is book # 2 after "This Man" by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Let me tell you this book is insane!! Better than the 1st book, it is just SO amazing!! I am really reading Fifty Shades times 2!! There is a lot going on with Ava and Jesse, lots of drama, lots of fights and way more sex! Really if you were amazed of how many times Mr. Gray and Ana were together, I think this couple are doing double the work! If you read my post for the first book then you know that Jesse owns a Sex House, and there is a lot going on there. A lot of secrets that Ava finds throughout the whole book! I seriously wanted to punch Jesse so many times, I love him, don't get me wrong, but he is seriously a case! There were moments that I wanted Ava to seriously go far away from Jesse!! This is an amazing book, I highly recommended if you like this same kind of books. I will advise though that you are going to get your nerves high up! There are some really good moments, like Ava asking Jesse for his age throughout the book, specially the part where Ava finds out how old he really is. I love this second book a lot! You will love Jesse even though he is a big arse!

* Remember when I described Ava and I said that she was size 10, well I wasn't thinking that they are from the UK so the US size is 6. I was really thinking she was a bit chunky like me ^-^

This Man

 




Wow!!! This book is intense! I really felt like as if I was reading Fifty Shades, but a different story. The author Jodi Ellen Malpas writes really similar to E. L. James, really!! so you must imagine what kind of book this is!!! Well  Jodi is also British but she uses it a little more of the English slang, (I guess) I didn't understand some of the words, but thanks to the technology of eBooks, I just highlighted the word and got the definition :D
"This Man" is about Ava (an interior designer) and Jesse a super mega rich, hot, over protected, charming, confident, conceited man!!! he has everything!!!! but on the bad side (if you see it like this) he owns a freaking sex house!! which brings a lot of problems to their "relationship". Ava  has her own things too, she is a size 10 but really confident as well, she is a amazing interior designer and has worked with powerful people such as Jesse. She knows that Jesse is trouble and wants to get away, but he is really, really intense and do not want to let Ava go!! 

I love the book!! this is the first  of three books and I'm already reading # 2 "Beneath This Man". One thing though this book is really long! 2, 200 something pages on an eBook! I don't remember how many for the "Fifty Shades" but it is worth it!! so worth it!!

Reflected in You

Earlier this year a posted a mini review for Bared to you  and Reflected in You by Sylvia Day 


Basically, what I said was that I didn't like the books because they were almost exactly like Fifty Shades. I still think the first book is really similar to Fifty, but I never got to finish reading the second book Reflected in You. Well after reading Fifty Shades for a the third time I wanted to read something similar, so I started reading the second book from the beginning and guess what? I like it!. I could say that the first 30% is still kind of the same thing, Gideon and Eva are seeing each other, falling for one another right away and they continued with their same nightmares and personal problems. The other half of the book gets really excited!

Everything started when Eva was invited to a concert, the band's lead singer was Eva's ex lover, which brings up a lot of drama because she ends up kissing him!!!

Then Eva's friend Cary who gets beaten up by who knows who (we actually find out at the end)

Then the plot! when Nathan( the guy who sexually abused Eva) gets kill and Gideon is acting kind of weird and breaks up with Eva and it has an excellent finish that keeps you wondering what exactly happened and who kill Nathan.


I know this is too vague but this is definitely a good book, mostly the second one. These two books are perfect to read after reading Fifty Shades of Grey, because they are so similar.

         The third book Entwined with you is coming out this June, 2013, I really can't wait to read it!!

Fifty Shades of Grey



Hi again!

First of all, I would like to thank my very good friend, Jasmine. She is the one who introduced me to all these books. I have always like to read, but after meeting her, now I love to read. We are really similar in some ways, we both fall in love with the guys from the books and get all emotional so excited, mad, and even sad.
I want to start with my very favorite book from all the times. Fifty Shades of Grey the trilogy. I love those books! These books are addicting, I couldn't sleep just to read more and more.  I remember after I finished  I still couldn't stop thinking about them at all. It hasn't been another book like this one that would excite me the same way. Well yes the twilight books, but these are definitely in a different topic. My friend Jasmine advise me to re-read the books so it could help me with my anxiety. Does this sound weird to you? If you have read this trilogy then yes it is weird, but also you know exactly what I mean. 
When we heard that E. L. James was planning on making the movie, we soon started looking for actors who would be good to play Gray's and Anastasia role.
