Kiss the Frog by Alice GainesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was categorised under New Adult. I am not really sure what exactly New Adult means but I reckon, it's not this book. It has a lot of steamy scenes that it is borderline to erotic.
Okay, onto the book. This a feel good read. It's not too long. Dev is just an admirable character. Well, all of the Royal family are. It's unreal not that I am familiar with the lives of the royalty. I suppose, they are just like normal people.
The character of the parents of Felice made me like her even more. She is very understanding and forgiving. And I suppose, resigned that she will not be the number one priority. But it is fine as she found a new family in Dev's.
I like Fredriech. I'd like to read his story with Marta soon.

Because the sequel was such a cliff-hanging and there are a couple of chapters of this book included, I have to buy so I can continue reading.
It was well-written but a bit short. Dev was quite an ass at first when Scarlett wanted to interview him. Scarlett is just being herself, madly inlove.. can't move-on self. I suppose, because there was no proper closure anywhere in the book, I felt that I didn't have either.. so she's excuse for not doing so too. Does that make sense?
There are lots of fill-in the gaps or blanks. Maybe because I skipped some of the long narratives.
But there's HEA so it's okay. I'd like to read more about them in the same book, I suppose.
There are some intense emotions involved but only few of them makes me really feel for the characters. Again some love scenes are present in this book.

This one is another freebie in a series. The book is good enough. Scarlett is a good girl, strong and wanting to be independent. Dev is a cliche when it comes to having crush and loving someone, someone who's his sister's best friend. He was being an ass.
I like this book because it tells a lot about the heroine, her relationship with the people around him. This is also the reason why I didn't like the book because there's less of Scarlett and Dev. But all the scenes where it mattered, it was good.
This is a cliff-hanging one in a way. Also, it's quite different with some new adult books that I read as it has some explicit sexual language in it.
so this is a sequel of Play with me. I know the MO of the freebie first series books - it's to entice you to buy the other books in the series. I don't do that often but for this one, I just have to. 
The guy in the Play with me as I have said is very likable but even more so in this book. I read in one of the reviews in Goodreads that there's no basis for Ryan's love to Lisa. And yeah, that's true in both books - nothing has been discussed about it. But as a believer of true love, I know you don't need reasons to.
Anyway, he is just a dream in this book. It was written in a very nice point of view of Ryan Hunter that it almost sound unreal and fairy tale-ish. Makes me think somewhere while reading that, is this guy really out there? But I suppose, Liza being who she is, deserves a boy/man like hunter. I'd recommend this book to anyone.
One thing I notice though, much like what I did above.. the author did not spell Liza's/Lisa's name consistently.
There are more books in the series but I am not considering of buying them at this point.
I discovered a new adult book accidentally one day and I never looked back. I thought that I am more of an adult romance reader but after reading a few of new adults, the earlier genre just doesn't do much for me anymore. Anyway, here's another new adult book that I read this week. This is a freebie in itunes again.
It's your typical high-school romance per se but it has some twist to it. Because the girl didn't end up with her bestfriend that she thought she loves soo much. It is a cliche story but somehow it was relatable for me. The naive girl and the popular guy but the guy is not an asshole. The guy is actually lovable and mature. I'd read more books like this.
