KALEIDOSCOPE HEARTS (Hearts #1) by Claire Contreras

-
“The thing about life is that you never know when it will show you something that touches you so deeply that you can’t help but be grateful for everything . . . even the bad.”

    Claire is one of the authors that I discovered last year and I'm so glad and happy that I loved her books from reading them for first time. I'm a sucker for second chances romance so her books are really perfect for me.

SYNOPSIS

He was my older brother's best friend. 
He was never supposed to be mine. 
I thought we would get it out of our system and move on. 

One of us did. 
One of us left. 

Now he’s back, looking at me like he wants to devour me. And all those feelings I’d turned into anger are brewing into something else, something that terrifies me. 
He broke my heart last time. 
This time he'll obliterate it.

    To be honest, this book is nowhere near my tbr this year and I was kinda conflicted on what to read next after reading L.J. Shen's Sinners of Saint, All Saint's High and Boston Belle's series. So I was scrolling my list when I found this on my "Rom" bookshelf on my iPad so I gave it a chance since I've already read Claire's Second Chances Duet and I loved it so much! And OMG! I devoured this series too in no time and I really loved every moment of it.

    When I read a book especially romance, I always have this standard that the hero and the heroine have that chemistry from the start. Like, when I read that part where they meet in the book for the first time, I can already feel their chemistry. And this book did not deny that to me. Oliver and Elle's chemistry is so undeniable and so cute that my heart clenches and I feel butterflies (wow!) in my tummy with their interactions with each other. I'm glad that Oliver's POV is that from the past, that way I can also understand their relationship more and what made them do such decisions in the past and not be blinded with the others POV.

    What I also liked about this book is the side characters especially Elle's brother Victor and Elle's bestfriend Mia. I love that each character complimented each other and it was not messy. I always wanted to read a book where the heroine has an overbearing older brother and Elle and Victor's relationship is so funny and cute especially whenever they're in their parents house.

    I really love books about second chances so when I found out this is about it, I never hesitated to read it and I'm glad I did. I can't recommend this book enough. A must read!

THE FAVOR by Suzanne Wright

              "Love you, baby girl. You told me you don't need the words, but you deserve to hear them. I don't want you to ever be unsure of what I feel for you. I need you to know deep down to your bones that you're the most important thing in my world. I need you to know I could never love anything or anyone the way I love you."     I have to say it makes me super happy whenever I pick a book and never regretted a second reading it. This book has been-as usual- been on my TBR list since last year but I only got to pick it yesterday and I loved reading every page of it. I was so giddy while reading it I don't want it to end. SYNOPSIS Vienna Stratton knew she only had herself to blame. You didn’t let yourself become indebted to a man like Dane Davenport, no matter how badly you needed his help. As his personal assistant, she was very aware that the globally successful CEO was ruthless and unforgiving.  Of course, if she’d know...

“The universe doesn't matter, green, you do. Then. Now. Always.”   BLURB Love is impossible. Hate is an open game.   Kimberly   He was once my best friend, now he’s my worst enemy. Xander Knight is heartbreakingly beautiful. Ridiculously popular. Brutally cruel. He’s a knight but won’t do any saving. Xander   We started as a dream, now we’re a nightmare. Kimberly Reed is pathetically fake. Terribly innocent. Secretly black. She can hide but never from me.         Books that talk about mental illness always makes me a crying mess so it's no news that this book made me cry ugly. Some readers might find this book triggering because of the metal illness issue that this represents. As someone who struggles with weight loss, I relate to Kimberly because of how the people that surround her mock her. I do't really care about what people may think about my physical appearance but when some crude comments get to me, I can't help think that I'm not wort...
