"Misguided Angel"

This book is the continuation of the Blue Bloods Series which I enjoyed thoroughly. The book is kind of thin but its contents is PHAT indeed ha! Before I forget, from the previous books Jack and Schuyler are in LOVE and run off together to try and fulfill her destiny to find the gates to protect everyone from Hell. Oliver, Schuylers Human Familiar, loves her dearly and is obviously connected to her for the eternities, but he sees that she loves Jack and they were meant to be together. So being the good friend that he is, he reluctantly lets her go with Jack. I love me some Oliver. He may not be as good looking or posess a hot bod like Jack, but I love oliver for his dedication and loyalty to his childhood friend Schuyler. She doesn't deserve the love from both guys Jack and Oliver..I was always attracted to the underdogs and the ones that get left out in the cold..Thas just me..Mimi and Jack Fore "the twins" are suppose to be bonded, but Jacks love for Schuyler is stronger than his bod with Mimi Force; therefore he leaves with Schuyler.


Misguided angel was kind of slow in the beginning but as I read the chapters were getting better and better and I found myself anxious to see what happens. Jack and Schuyler are together in Florence looking for the gate keeper, or the gates to fulfill her destiny and complete the Van Allen Legacy. There are different characters that come into play but you are atill able to follow the story.
Oliver and Mimi get together and work as a team trying to figure out who has killed 2 Blue Bloods. Oliver never really liked Mimi, but as the story progresses Mimi and Oliver kind of develop a nice working relationship. I have my own wishes for the book. I hope that Mimi and Oliver kind of end up together. You figure they were both dumped by the ones they loved, they are both left in limbo wondering where their lovd ones are and Mimi feels the worst since Jack left her and Kingsley has died or is in the underworld protecting everyone from Lucifer. So hopefully Oliver and Mimi join forces as a team and find love for each other, who knows it could happen (fingers crossed).

Another character comes into play in the book Deming Chen from China. She is a twin and was called upon by Mimi to help crack the case on who killed the 2 Blue Bloods. Deming is known for her record of tracking her suspects so Mimi wants her to help! Deming indeed does a good job of trying to find the killer but it's not an easy task as she goes through many suspects and interrogates them. Just when you think she found the killer some more information pops up and you're on the whirl again thinking of who could have killed the Blue Bloods..enjoyable indeed.

Anxiously awaiting for the next book, but like my friend Kia, she gets tired of waiting and waiting for the next book to follow. I hope the next one comes quickly! Misguided Angel is a good read and I was very happy to read other characters come into the story. If you've read the other books, you gotta read this one..

'10 Things I Lovev About You"

I enjoyed Sebastian Grey's story in this book. I love how this story ties in with Harry's story in "What Happens in London" by Julia Quinn. A very cute story of how Seb falls in love with Annabel Winslow a county girl who comes to London to live with her aunt in preparations to marry Lord Newbury. This marriage was arranged by her grandparents to secure the well being of her family. Annabel is the oldest of 8 siblings. Her brothers are in school, her house is being run by her mother and they had to let go of their governess. It's up to Annabel to helpe her family by marrying Lord Newbury who is twive her age. He is an old man desperately seeking a wife to produce an heir in order to inherit the familys fortune. If Newbury does not produce an heir or if he die,s then his nephew Sebastian Grey will inherit everything. Newbury and Sebastian have hated each other since Sebastian was a young lad. When his father passed away Newbury took care of Seb paying for his schooling and then sending him to the Army. These two men despised each other. Sebastian is a young man who is not really concerned about the familys fortune. He is young, vibrant and is known for having affairs with married women in London who have married young and are quite frankly tired of their old husbands or tired of the daily life in London. Seb merely spends time with these women, doesn't really love them but uses them for his physical and lustful gain. He is out for fun and loyal to none as I would say..

Annabel cannot stand the sight of Lord Newbury and the thought of her marrying him makes her so uncomfortable and she thinks to herself what about the welfare of my family. Such a hard decision for a young woman, but her grandparents are arranging for her to marry Newbury. She met him at a ball and everyone in London knows that he's soon to marry Annabel with her bodily curves, full bust and milky skin. They meet and he pulls Annabel aside and practically violates her right there. In desperation she pushes him away and runs into the garden her breathing ever so heavy. She is beside herself and terrified of the man. He just wanted to lay his filthy paws all over her..UGH not the business, dirty ole fart..haha..She backs up and bumps into Sebastian. He was in the heath waiting for one of the married ladies and he is indeed a gentleman to her. She was uncofortable at first but then warms up to him and his kindness. They speak to each other and she returns to the party and doesn't know his name, only that he's handsome and was a gentleman.

The story continues and Newbury and Sebastian have an exchange of words over Annabel. They finally meet again and Sebastian and Annabel are introduced formally. We find out in the stroy that Sebastian Grey is the author of all the Sarah Gorely books. He uses a pen name to sell all his books which are a hit in London and in Russia.

Seb is known for keeping his cool and has been put down and demeaned by his uncle all his life but when Newbury calls Annabel a whore in front of everyone, Seb looses his cool and attacks Newbury. He lost all control and had Newbury by his throat demanding that he apologize to Annabel, Newbury did not even budge to attempt to apologize. Newbury had too much pride to do anything Seb demanded of him. Seb would not let go of his uncle until he apologized, but his uncle still refused to do so. Annabel seeing this stepped forward and told Seb its ok, he knows that she is not a whore and she knows she is not and that is all that matters. From this act, we see that Seb loves Annabel..

This was a very cute story of how Sebastian Grey the towns pimp daddy finally finds a woman he can love for the rest of his life. He has found the one woman who he can see himself waking up to every morning, and who he can devote his life to and make her happy everyday of her life. He tells her he loves her over and over and finds a sense of peace knowing that Annabel loves him in return. He tells her, I love you and I just know.

I enjoyed Sebastians story and I love how the characters from Harrys Story are in this book. I do know that I will continue to read Julia Quinn's novels and I am a big fan of Historic Romance Novels.

A good read indeed.

"10 Things I Love About You"

This was a lovely story of Sebastian Grey a bachelor who would soon inherit a little fortune if his dear uncle died or could not bear an heir. Sebastian Grey is a young bachelor out on the town to get his kicks and not settle down with any one woman for the time being. He has a fine way of using words when speaking to others or belittling them like when speaking to his uncle and is a good narrator being that he is an author but uses a pen name of Sarah Gorely. He meets Annabell Winslow a country girl staying with her grandmother to find a husband so that her family would be secured with education, finances and a home to live in.

What pressure that must have been on the young ladies back in those days to prepare themselves to wed a man probably twice her age to secure the well being of her family. In these times, love was not the only factor in a relationship. I would say Love didn't matter in some instances where young ladies were pre-arranged to marry older men, how terrible!

Sebastian's uncle Lord Newbury was out and looking for a young wife to produce an heir so that he could inherit the fortune. He had his eye set on Annabel Winslow. She loathed him. At one of the balls Lord Newbury practically violated Annabel. She was a young girl, lovely, with big birthing hips and a bust that caught every mans attention. She did not want to marry Lord Newbury, he did not respect her and tried to rip her clothes off at the ball, what a jerkface! She ran out of the ball and through the bushes as she backed up she bumped into Sebastian Grey who was laying on a blanket awaiting one of his playmates. Her heart was racing as she fled the side of Lord newbury. She spoke with Sebastian Grey who was a fine gentleman but was known for seducing and sleeping around with the married women in town. He respected her and found that he was quite interested in conversation with her. They did not exchange names at first and she thought to herself, what are the chances that she would see him again as she herself admired him. He was an attractive and polite gentleman.

Annabel being a country girl doesn't exactly know the rules of living with her aunt and so she gets herself into some trouble. She cannot stand the site of Lord Newbury after he tried to have his way with her. Her stomach churns at the site and mention of him. She goes the Opera and Sebastian was also invited to attend. The whole evening she and Sebastian were talking and carrying on all nite and so there went the gossip in London. Things got twisted and word was spread that Annabel was being fancied by Sebastian and Lord Newbury was disgusted and did not take any interest in her for the time being. Her reputation was going downhill and at the same time the men in town were all flocking to her house to court her. If Lord Newbury did not want to have her then her family would lose their house, her siblings would have to return home from school and they would lose everything. It was her only hope to save her family by marrying Lord Newbury, "the old fart" is what I call him haha!

To stop all the gossip the right thing to do was for Sebastian to court her and put on a show for the town, but little did anyone know that Sebastian and Annabel did have feelings for each other when they were together. Her body trembled and his sotmach would turn when they caught each others eyes and they could both feel the intensity in body language when together.

Towards the end of the book Sebastian tells Annabel that he loves her over and over again. Annabel tells Sebastian that she always has cold hands and feet and he tells her, "I vow to spend the rest of my life keeping your hands and feet warm". He tells her that he knows its right for him to be with her and is lost in words, which is not like him as he always has something to say when speaking being that he is a writer but when he talks to Annabel he is at a lost and tells her I love you because "I just know." He realizes that some things need not be said in so many words but left to be sweet and simple!

A very cute story of how a man who is the towns pimp daddy has finally found someone to love and settle down with. He has finally found his one true love whom he chooses to spend the rest of his life with, to wake up by her side, to dedicate his life to making her happy everyday. Enjoyed this book very much and I'm quite the fan of Julia Quinn and Historical Romance Novels.

Reading again..YEA ME!!

So its Wednesday, January 12, 2011 and I started reading "10 Things I love about you" by Julia Quinn and I'm still in the beginning chapters but its getting good. I'm sure the plot will be great. I was telling Wena how I love when the books come together and are connected. I read "What happens in London" by Julia Quinn which told of Harry, Sebastians cousin and this book is about Sebastian and according to Wena she loved it, so I know I'm gonna enjoy it as well. All the books I've read thus far are arerecommended by her so I know its all good in the hood!

I also just got "Misguided Angel" which is the 4th or 5th book for the Series Blue Bloods which I loved as well. I read the first chapter and its taking me a little while to recall what happened in the other books but its all coming back to me. I think I'm gonna read some more of Misguided Angel tonite and then resume with Sebastians story tomorrow. I love it reading 2 books is beyond me. Since I'm not so new in the reading game now, I hope not to confuse all the characters in each book so good luck to me. But I think I'll be okay with these 2 books since Sebastians story is in the British setting about love and what not and Misguided Angel is also about love but with vampires as well, the Blue Bloods, the Silver Bloods aww goodness again.

Alritey so off I go to read and enjoy my nite...Good nite all..
