When the delectable Amelia appeals to him for help, he intends to offer only friendship―but intentions are no match for the desire that blindsides them both.

Review: Love in the Afternoon

Gambar
Love in the Afternoon by Lisa Kleypas My rating: 5 of 5 stars bisa dibilang bahwa aku selalu jatuh cinta oleh karakter karakter unik yang aku temui ketika membaca novel dengan genre ini. Dan harus aku akui bahwa karakter semacam ini akan menimbulkan banyaknya konflik yang unik pula. Aku jatuh cinta pada karakter beatrix sejak di seri pertamanya. Gadis yang menyukai binatang. Sama seperti serial wallflower, Daisy yang suka membaca menjadi karakter paling unik di antara yang lainnya, dan aku jatuh cinta oleh karakter ini. Hal lain yang membuatku memberikan bintang penuh untuk kisah beatrix adalah bahwa aku harus sering menahan rasa sedih yang Beatrix dapatkan ketika hanya dapat melihat pujaannya yang di dalam mencintainya tapi dari luar sangat jauh baginya. Aku menaruh simpati yang begitu besar untuk rasa sakit yang beatrix alami dan rasanya ingin memberikan ia selamat ketika akhirnya christoper menaruh perhatian penuh padanya. Mereka berkorespondi dan jatuh cinta. Tetapi karena selama ...

Review: Dreaming of You - Memimpikanmu

Dreaming of You - Memimpikanmu by Lisa Kleypas My rating: 5 of 5 stars Nah kalo yang ini baru cocok aku kasih bintang 5. Hahahha. Kemarin sisa dua bukunya Lisa Kleypas dan syukurlah aku baca ini sebagai urutan terakhir. Dan novel ini berhasil membuatku penasaran, karena di waktu-waktuku yang sedang malas membaca novel ini, aku berhasil menyelesaikannya selama dua hari. Ini buku kedua dari seri Gamblers, tapi aku langsung tahu seperti apa karakter Derek Craven di buku pertamanya. Pasti penuh skandal. Nah, anehnya, aku sering lebih terguncang emosinya kalau peran utama cowoknya itu ternyata dari kalangan bawah yang merangkak ke tingkat sosial yang lebih tinggi. Itu lebih menyayat-nyayat daripada sekedar kisah seorang Duke atau Viscount. Sebenarnya di awal novel ini, aku masih dibuat bertanya-tanya tentang karakter Sara, meskipun aku lebih mudah memahami karakter Derek, si bajingan bejat yang menyembunyikan kebaikan hatinya. Derek karakter yang berbahaya yang tidak segan-segan memberikan...
