Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
English Review: It was the first novel I read from this author and the fictional universe was very interesting. The story was very predictable: her plan, their chemistry, he being and alpha male who made her sumissive...
However I'm really curious about the other characters's stories: Sasha and Roland or Talia and Alexei.

English Review: Even if this book is predictable (he found the woman of her life when he lost the one he thought he loves), Ripley's hurtful past and all the feelings she awake in the readers made this book an interesting one.
Warning: the book finished with a serious cliffhanger.

Dragonfly, I won't be able to count this until it works for the board you're on, maybe you could save it for a later board, or swap letters with somebody else? Maybe you could ask Maria to take 'M' with her 'S' book, and then you could take 'S'? I don't know if that would work because I don't know what your team has planned, so maybe you could have a chat with them?

English Review: This was the first book I read by this author and I like it. Specially because both of their families and friends are very important in the plot and that made the story warmer.
The story of the crush being hide as hate is told from both points of view: Birdie and Call and I love how their fights only made more attracted to each other. Although it is a predictable story I really enjoyed it.

English Review: I was an enjoyable but predictable story as are everyone "hate to love" books. The wedding part and the trip to Hawaii was very hilarious and entertaining.
When they come back and Olive confront her cheating brother in love and Ethan's brother the plot become more profound but also the pace become slower...
I love the epilogue and I think the novel would be better if it was told from both points of view.

English review: After a serious of misunderstanding and heavy family drama, the incipient relationship between Zoire and Lennon was destroyed, even after years of being best friends and the something else. But now they are alone in the wood after their fake friends left them behind.
Our protagonist passed from being a control freak to someone who could accept the surprises of life.

English review: I was very excited for this story. And fortunately the book was as good as I expected. After being kidnapped by a human trafficking group, Talia only hope was death. But she didn't expect someone like Alexei who was there to give her all she needs even pleasure and pain.
This was a very unfuntional relationship but in some way both characters could get over their childhood traumas and build a family together.

English Review: I really enjoyed this book because the characters were very unique. Specially Roland who was so silent and letal but love her with an incredible devotion . Her smile conquered all the walls he had built after his traumatic childhood.
But not matter how romantic it seemed, that was not a healthy relationship. So we have to difference between reality and fiction.

English review: The story of Francesca and Senator Wolfe, although it was predictable, was a very interesting one because the characters got over all the obstacles for their love, even the ones that they put in the way.
I really like the scenes in the epilogue and I believe is a very addictive read because we have both points of view.

This 'board' will appear on your team's review thread, but we're going to be nice to you, instead of having to guess which letters are in your board (like in the game show), we're going to tell you what your board says -
Example:
(12) Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _ by _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _
(Please note; we are using the titles from the listopia list for the Top 100 YA Books (According to Goodreads Members)
- Titles will be picked for each team, using random.org)
It is then your team's job to fill in the letters on your board. You can do this by doing the following:
- Read a book of your own choice
- Make a note of the first letter of each word in your chosen book's title and author's name.
(Eg: Desires of the Dead by Kimberly Derting would give you 'D', 'O', 'T', and 'K'.
True Love and Other Disasters by Rachel Gibson would give you 'T', 'L', 'A', 'O', 'D', 'R', and 'G'.)
- Choose which ONE of your letters you would like to use for your book (so for Desires of the Dead you might choose 'O')
- Post your review for your book on your team's review thread along with your chosen letter. Eg:
Letter Chosen: (EG: 'S' for 'Stars')
