Review: Storm and Silence

Storm and Silence Storm and Silence by Robert Thier
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One word - AWESOME!!

Absolutely one of the best romantic-comedies I have ever read.

God, I don't even know where to start.

All I can say is that READ THE BOOK. - http://w.tt/1QGFlxu

Ambrose is awsome. Lilly is awesomer. The book is the best!!!

I know this isn't exactly a proper review, but I am too hyper at the moment. Maybe when Book 2 comes out, I'll do a better job. Sorry.

Warning: The end is a cliff-hanger.

Can't wait for the second book

Review: Bound by Her Ring

Bound by Her Ring Bound by Her Ring by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It was a good one-time read.

The story is about Jasmine, who is suffering from amnesia, and doesn't remember the past year of her life. The year she fell in love and got married to the gazzilionaire Luciano. The only indication of any relationship or a marriage is the wedding rings on her finger.

Jasmine, confused and indignant at being threatened with the ruination of her father's business and dragged on a trip to Brome with who claims to be her husband, tries to remember what had happened and why her husband was so angry with her and on the way rediscovers her lost love.

The story is basically what happened on the aftermath of the accident that caused the amnesia.

Spoiler Alert

It really was a good story, but I found some major gaps in the story.

1. I never really saw the point of Luciano dragging off to the unknown only to have sex with her. I understand that he was angry and wanted revenge, but what was the revenge? That's the part I was most confused about.

2. Again, Luciano's anger was completely justified, but I felt that he should have given Jasmine the benefit of doubt, before he completely blamed or even channeled all his anger towards her, especially knowing that her father is a douche who never liked their match. (This is totally my opinion)

3. Jasmine's father is a A-grade douche as I said before. He was the reason the for Luciano's animosity towards Jasmine. In my opinion, Jasmine should have been more mad at her father. I really liked jasmine's character. But it was completely ruined when she very easily forgave her father for all those years of ignorance and harshness, especially after what he did with Jasmine's pregnancy He tells Luciano that Jasmine aborted the fetus when she actually miscarried due to the accident. I am sorry to say, I wanted a fight and little more drama. Especially after it was reiterated throughout the book about how controlling her father was and how much Jasmine hated that.

4. It was like a flashbulb came on in Luciano's mind. One moment, he is there blaming Jasmine and being all angry over it and the next, he is convinced of Jasmine's truthfulness. *sigh* I am again sorry to say, so not happening for me.

The bottom-line is, the story was good, but could have been executed better. But it was a Happily Ever After nonetheless.
