Good Lips Series #2
One Night, One Lie
It was wrong to be near her. No. He shouldn't be near her. Nilalabanan ni Brandon ang kanyang sarili dahil useless ang attraction na nararamdaman niya. For him, it was all just a game. For him it's pretend-love every night and the show is over every morning. Kaya illegal ang makaramdam ng constant attraction para sa isang babaeng hindi niya naman gaanong kilala.
But when Aurora Veronica wore that freaking corporate uniform, the walls he tried to build so hard came crashing down. Come on, Brandon, who are you kidding? The girl looked innocent but she's damn hot with those killer heels. It probably won't hurt that much. After all, it's just a game.
It's just a game. Yes, it's just a game. Just one night. One night. It only takes one night to believe all the lies.

I'm going to be a bitch and rate this story a 3 star rating. I really hate Brandon and how he handle things. Grrrr. But ofcourse I won't deny that I like it (I always like Jonaxx's stories), I just hated Brandon, well, not very much but I still hate the pains he inflict on Avon, eventhough it's intentional or not. I hated Avon's father as well, and Arielle even though she's sick or something. But I hated her father more.
This is more like a hate letter so I'll just end this here hahaha.

This is by far the best Jonaxx story for me. Hands down. This was the story that had me crying at 3 am in the morning, the story I read while I was supposed to be listening to the discussion, and the story that I couldn't shut up about until now!
I just felt all the emotions I could ever feel at 100% in this story! The anger and jealousy of Arielle. THE FEELING THAT I JUST WANT TO BASH HER HEAD BECAUSE OF IRRITATION. She really is my most hated villain of all Jonaxxstories. She knows how to push Avon's buttons and is very manipulative.
The kilig and awww-moments when Brandon shows his love for Avon. You can really feel that what he feels for Avon is something far greater than he tells her. You can see that he would do everything he can for Avon.
The sadness and annoyance whenever Avon's dad chooses Arielle over her. I mean like CAN U NOT?? I understand na bago mo lang na discover si Arielle and you want to start being there for her. But doing these things while setting aside your wife and daughter?? MAY SARILING PAMILYA KA OMG!! Have time for each one of them naman. And also I am so angry at his blindness. Can't he see na Avon's hurting na? And it's because of Arielle? Can't he see how Arielle is so manipulative?? UGH.
And now for Arielle, I can't help thinking how her past affected her so much. It's sad yes, but shouldn't she, especially, know how hurting someone can be? I understand na she wants to experience having a parent or parents na would love her the way a person should be loved but her ways of attaining it is just so wrong! Avon's mom was depressed and she almost ruined their family! Atleast in the end she realized her mistake.
This story is a whirlwind of emotions. RAW. EMOTIONS. And reading this is a must!

I like this better than EBNAB. It's more well written. The cringy lines is lesser in this book than in EBNAB. The plot and characters got me hooked and enraged.
Aside from having too much pride(sometimes her pride is annoying), I love Avon. I love how she knows her worth and is firm about standing up for herself and her mom. Especially since the mom is too kind for her own good and is a pushover when it comes to her gaslighter of a husband.
Brandon is your usual red flag book boyfie but you are colorblind so you still adore him. His outburst and jealousy are too funny most of the time. But there are just two things that i cannot forgive Brandon for. First the "Kneel, Aurora Veronica." scene and second is the fact that he encouraged Arielle to ruin a perfectly happy family instead of telling her to be happy and content now that she has her dad who genuinely loves and cares a lot about her. I know Brandon changed his stance about that, but that's only because he fell in love with Avon. If it is any other girl who became unfortunate to be Arielle half sister, then Brandon would no doubt continue encouraging Arielle to manipulate her way into keeping her dad all to herself and damn a whole family to ruin if that's what makes Arielle happy.
Arielle is a needy, two faced bitch. I sympathize with her trauma but I will never support her actions. She's too entitled, too much of a drama queen and manipulative for my liking. What I hate the most about Arielle aside from her bitchiness towards Avon is that that she's a backstabbing bitch to Avon's mom when she should have been thankful that she accepted her into their life as her husband's child. And of course, the way she acts like she own Brandon. She needs to learn how to be content and happy with what she got. Before anyone else can truly help her and give her the support that she truly needs, she needs to help herself first and foremost.
Avon's dad is TRASH. Wanting to fulfill his shortcomings to his illegitimate child is not an excuse to neglect Avon and invalidate her feelings. He doesn't even realize where he's gone wrong when it comes to Avon which made him even more disappointing as a father. He's even gaslighting Avon into thinking that every time something went wrong or whenever they are arguing that Avon is just being a brat who can't lower her pride. Ever since he knew about Arielle, all he thinks about is her. Whenever Avon and Arielle are fighting, he would always side with Arielle and not believe Avon's side or even hear her explanation. He also saw how affectionate Brandon is towards Avon and it's clear that they are in a relationship and even living together at the moment temporarily, but just because Arielle said this and that, he want Avon to let Brandon go for Arielle's sake when it is clear already that his girls dependency towards Brandon is not normal and is toxic already. And most of all, i don't believe that he's that stupid not to know whenever Arielle's is just being a manipulative bitch, but he let's it slide all the time even at the expense of hurting Avon and his wife. His wife whom he keeps pushing to give and give when it comes to Arielle when it's clear that she's still having a hard time about the fact that her husband has an illegitimate child but he's too focused on giving Arielle's whims and too insensitive to notice that or he just doesn't care anymore about anything else aside from Arielle. That's what makes me mad at this man even more.
Overall, I can say that I enjoyed reading.

One of my all-time favorite male characters is someone who’s practically a legend in Jonaxx’s universe. He makes cameo appearances in almost all her earlier stories, connecting the dots across her fictional world and leaving fans thrilled every time he shows up. It’s amazing how his presence feels so effortless yet impactful, making him unforgettable even outside his narrative.

I can't really say if I totally like it, but maybe I do kasi especially sa ending sobrang naapektuhan ako and I can not clearly write an efficient rating/review because I am still affected. I recommended it to my friend in the end.

Here I was thinking that I could write a review of Jonaxx' Good Lips Series pero I don't think I can write it soon.
So here goes, out of the three, I love Logan's story most (it was my first Jonaxx story so hindi nakapagtataka), and I thought that I would love Rage's story, all the while putting Brandon's at the back of my head but how wrong I was.
Brandon's story has impacted me the same way with Benedict's in Julia Quinn's the Bridgerton series. Brandon wasn't really given justice/the spotlight in books 1 and 3 so I never expected that his book would be exceptional but then again, One Night, One Lie surprised me. It's far far better than book 1. In terms of plot and character development, lamang na lamang ang book 2 pero I think it was kinda understandable kasi at the point na sinulat niya 'to, mas marami na siyang experience sa pagsusulat. Anyway, I really really love Brandon (okay, mas mahal ko si Loglog pero almost malapit na din si Brandon dun) :)
p.s. I'm so proud of jonaxx, siguro given a few years' time, she'll become even better. Never been excited to see/witness an author's success story.

Another Jonaxx story that stirred the sleeping butterflies in my stomach. I gave me different kinds of emotion. Medyo nakarelate ako kay Avon specially nung mga unang chapters kasi may pagkapareho yung situation namin kaya lahat ng pwede kong sabihin sa taong iyon ay nagawa ko kay Guillermo. I've never read a father this insensitive in my life. Para bang wala nang naririnig kundi Ariella. Ito din ang unang pag kakataon na nawish ko na sana mamatay na lang ang protagonist kasi sorang sakit. The Betrayal nga dapat ang naging title nito sa dami ng betrayal na nareceive ni Avon from people she cared about. Never akong naawa sa lukaret na si Arielle, magagalit talaga Prof ko nito, Psych patients should be understood at kailangang intintindihin. Intindihin her face, nakakabanas yung mga pinagagawa niya. Siya na nga nkikisampid siya pang epal.
The love story, aww to heartwarming. Gusto ko talaga kung paano kamahal ni Brandon si Avon.
Good Lips slays!
