Tender Rebel by Johanna Lindsey (Malory-Anderson Family #2)

I have not been this Malory series for such a long time, and now, when I read another, feels like I should open the other again. After I read this from the first book, I found that Johanna Lindsey has some uniqueness in her stories. That is the way she never forgot to make us open another book from the same series. She always makes us glance at the book before or afterwards. JL has always made me curious about the stories of other characters, though in this case I've read the other three books in this Malory series. When I read the first book, I felt compelled to read the story of James and Anthony. When I read The Present, I feel obliged to know the story between Warren and Amy roomates is unique. When I read the fourth book, I was intrigued by Jeremy's story that I had never read. Well, when I read this second book, Tender Rebel, suddenly I wanna read the first or the afterwards book I have ever read before. Indeed, when reading the Present, I do not really follow

The Magic of You (Malory-Anderson Family Book 4) Indonesian Review for this novel: The Magic Of You I just finished 3 JL’s novels when I read this. And I gave two of them with 5 stars. Somehow I really love the way JL process her stories become very interesting and not boring at all. It’s adorable, funny, lively, exciting, romantic, strained, and certainly complete! I couldn’t stop myself to stop reading before I finished it. I just could take a break about 10 minutes before I should continue reading. Sometimes I know this kind of genre is unpredictable if I take a look the ending in this book. In this case, I finally just gave up to find the spoiler and read patiently from the start, which is I couldn't wait to finish. Normally I do not like stories where there is a conversation that does not involve the main character, especially if the viewpoint is put to the supporting cast. Well, this novel is an exception because I cannot stop falling in love for e

Love Only Once by Johanna Lindsey (Mallory-Anderson #1)

Click here to see:  Indonesian Review for this Novel I like Johanna Lindsey.. Somehow this book is a good start for me to read Johanna Lindsey's book.. The story in this book is rather complicated and difficult to follow. I mean, if I was asked to tell the story in detail from the beginning, I was definitely confused to answer. But if you look my progress, you’ll know what I mean. From the beginning there were always parts that I wanted to pass because I hardly got the point and I became bored. But later, in some parts of the book, I felt like I should back to the part which I said I  didn't  get the point’. It’s because I needed the information. And I often felt like that. I think JL loves to put the mystery in her story, so we cannot forget how the story was going anyway. Sometimes I was not wondering and not curious about a few things, but suddenly surprised in simply so I have to repeat to read again like I said. Geez, Mallory family was really potential

Review: Ten Things I Love About You - Sepuluh yang Kucinta Tentangmu

Ten Things I Love About You - Sepuluh yang Kucinta Tentangmu by Julia Quinn My rating: 4 of 5 stars Waaaah.. sebastiaaaaan.. Kayaknya kalo diinget-inget lagi, yang bikin aku bertahan baca seri kedua Bevelstoke termasuk karena keberadaan Sebastian ini, sepupu Harry yang dari luar dia kelihatan begitu sempurna dan tenang. Rasanya nggak ada apapun yang bisa membuat orang ini goyah sampai sampai bikin penasaran gimana rasanya kalo bisa lihat Seb marah. Entah karena aku memang menyukai seri ketiga ini atau apa, kenapa disini karakter Harry sama Olivia jadi nyenengin gini ya? Mereka lucu. Olivia cerewet sedangkan Harry jarang ngomong. Apa emang sebenernya dari seri kedua emang karakter mereka kayak gitu ya? Habis gara-gara lihat kehadiran mereka disini jadi penasaran gitu, rasanya pingin curi-curi baca Bevelstoke #2 lagi deh. Trus, ya ampun ya ampuuun, rahasia sebastian yang diungkapkan disini bikin pingin aku baca lagi semua bagian dia di Bevelstoke #2. Kelucu-lucuannya dia, waktu dia baca
