BOTW: Holly Vane - The Devil's Bible

Well, I'm 4 days late :) but if you like supernatural, vampires and love, you will forgive me...I hope.
The book is divided into four parts, each one presents parts of the action through someone's eyes.

There are three brothers Alex, Angel and Rain who were turned into vampires when they were little. The man who turned them never finished his job with Rain, so he is not human nor vampire - he's somewhere between, and the Council can't kill him, unless they have the Devil's Bible, a book thought to be written by Lucifer himself, containing the worst spells and the darkest magic. To protect their younger brother, Alex and Angel outlawed Rain, but everything went south when he met Faith. She was a hooker that Alex went for fun, but because she was very beautiful, he kept going to see her and she got pregnant at one point with him. Faith kept it a secret, but only for about five years, because he found out that Alice is his daughter, too. Not long after that, the girl died and because her mother suffered a lot, he turned her into a vampire, presenting her to his family and making her Angel's partner. But she had fell in love at first sight with Rain. From that point on, the action gets interesting. Infidelity is a deathly sin in the vampire world, so if the Council found out about her affair with Rain, she would be murdered. So the Elders negotiated with the brothers: they will leave her alone if they find the Devil's Book in two weeks, if not, they will start the war between vampires and humans. Wanting to avoid both evils, they started looking for the book and got in Wove, a small town. There they meet Sophie and her little sister, Ellie, who moved there after their mom lost the battle with cancer and were left with their alcoholic father. Sophie, Ellie, Angel, Faith, Sunny and Jack all went to the same school. When Sophie sees Angel, she fell in love and said to herself that she will do everything to be with him. She and the rest of the group got along very well and became friends. One day, while she was killing her free time until Ellie gets out from school, Sophie sees Faith and Rain kissing in the library and making plans to go at his place for some more ... fun, let's say. Seeing that and thinking that it's the perfect reason for Angel to break up with his girlfriend so she can go for him, Sophie makes a plan...and talk about it with Stace (not knowing that she is supposed to be Rain's girlfriend and part of the Council's plan to kill Faith because of her infidelities). There is a fight between Rain and Angel because of what happened in the library and Faith receives an ultimatum from her boyfriend - it's him or she dies. He leaves the house trying to relax and gets a call from Sophie. Knowing that she is in love with him, Angel accepts to meet with her, planing to feed with her blood. But when time comes and he bits her neck, he feels the poison that she ingested - a poison she drank because Faith gave her an cocktail earlier that day and because everyone suspected that Angel might go for her. The poison is harmless for the humans, but makes vampires feel very weak. Because Angel felt noxious he could drink her blood and Sophie called Jack to come and help her. He came with Alex and took them both home. Everybody was there and later on, Rain appeared too. After explaining Sophie everything, including the fact that her mother died because the Council wanted her to move with her father in Wove because they needed her to prove Faith's infidelities so that she can have Angel, the Elders made their entry holding Ellie as an hostage. Seeing what happens, Faith and Rain go outside to negotiate their freedom. But before she could say anything, Rain tells the Council that if they leave his family and loved ones alone and never shadow them, he will help them in whatever they want, he will become one of them. Because they know that he cannot be killed only by the dark magic from the Bible and it is, still, a myth, the agree. The story ends with Rains thoughts: "Two hundred years ago Faith broke my heart to save me, I just hope one day she’ll realize I’m doing the same…"

From my point of view, and not only, this story is a "Romeo and Juliet" mixed with "Twilight" ... and only at the end of the book, I could put everything in order, because each part is different, told by Sophie, Faith, Angel and Rain and neither of them know what is really happening until the very last moment.

If you like vampires and romance, you should read the book. And I hope you had the patience to read what I wrote. :) And I thank you for that. :*

BOTW: Sandra Brown - Temptation's kiss / Sarutul ispitei

Hi, there!
It's a new Thursday, so we have a new book!
The good news is that today I'm on time...the other good news is that today you will have to read 6 more book reviews. :) We welcome this week Adelina and Alina.

Salutari!
E noua zi de joi, deci avem o carte noua!
Vestea buna nr. 1 de azi este ca ma incadrez in program...iar vestea buna nr. 2 este ca pe langa rezumatul meu, mai aveti inca 6 de citit! Le uram bun venit Adelinei si Alinei.

This time I want to talk to you about Sandra Brown's book - Temptation's Kiss.
De data asta vreau sa va povestesc despre cartea Sandrei Brown - Sarutul ispitei.

 


It's the story of Megan, a young widow and a workaholic at a television station. On the day before her wedding, she and her fiancee at the time, had a party where James's boss was invited too. The attraction between Josh - her fiancee's boss and her was very intense. At one point, they were alone and kissed. And from that kiss on, everything went south in Megan's heart concerning her feelings for James. 
Josh was engaged at that time, but the day after Megan's wedding, he broke the engagement, telling Laura that he loves a married woman and he can't continue this relationship. He kept the distance from Megan, knowing that she hates him because of the kiss. Megan always blamed him for her husband's death, thinking that he was the one that made James work extra-hours and stress a lot - leading to his heart failure. But after three long years, Josh finds a way to get close to Megan; they are working on the same campaign for a big hotel - Seascape. He tells her that they will be a couple and he can be patient, because the time that she was married was the toughest, not now, that she is single.
After this not-so-small talk, they go for the big opening of the hotel, on a vacation and while she thought she will get her well deserved revenge...she falls back in love with him. The dates they have on the resort and everything, lead to his proposal. What she answered...well, there was no answer, to be honest. Only a big misunderstanding that got between them because they both are stubborn. 
It's a good read, because you can finish it in a day ( a few hours) and it's not erotic...it's a romantic story with some fireworks.

O avem pe Megan, o tanarar vaduva, o workaholic la un post de televiziune. In ziua de dinaintea nuntii ei cu James, au tinut o petrecere la care a fost invitat si Josh, seful logodnicului ei. Atractia dintrea ea si Josh a fost atat de puternica incat, la un moment dat, ramasi singuri, acestia se saruta. De la aceasta intamplare incolo, Megan isi pune la indoiala sentimentele pentru James.
In tot acest timp, si Josh era logodit, dar se desparte de Laura dupa nunta celor doi, marturisindu-i ca iubeste o femeie maritata si ca nu poate ramane langa ea daca nu ii poate impartasi sentimentul. S-a tinut la distanta de Megan cativa ani, pentru ca aceasta il considera vinovat pentru moartea sotului sau, crezand ca toata munca in afara programului a fost la cererea lui Josh si ca tot stresul a dus la infarctul lui James. Trei ani mai tarziu, Josh gaseste motivul perfect pentru a se apropia de Megan; acestia lucreaza impreuna la o campanie de promovare a hotelului Seascape. Acesta ii marturiseste ca inca are sentimente puternice pentru ea si ca este sigur ca la un momnet dat, ei vor forma un cuplu si ca are rabdare, mai ales ca momentul mult asteptat nu e atat de departe.
Cateva zile mai tarziu, cei doi merg la inaugurarea hotelului Seascape si au parte de o mini-vacanta. Megan a sperat ca in aceasta calatorie se va razbuna pe Josh, dar nu face nimic altceva decat sa se indragosteasca de el. Toate intalnirile lor duc la cererea ei in casatorie. Raspunsul se lasa insa foarte asteptat...O neintelegre ii face pe cei doi sa stea la distanta unul de celalalt, dar pana la urma se intalnesc si isi continua discutia...
Este o lectura usoara, se poate citi in cateva ore/ o zi si nu e genul erotic...e o poveste romantica ce are si putine artificii. 

Check out what other books my friends got for you and your imagination? :)
Eu zic sa treceti si pe la fete, sa vedeti...ele cu ce va vor incanta imaginatia? :)

BOTW: Nora Roberts - Hidden Riches / Comori tainuite

This week's book is another book that I've read some time ago...I don't know where my time goes, but I have no time to read. buuuu....

EN version

Jed Skimmerhorn is a sad man...he left the house he enharited from his family and moved in an apartment with rent. His tenant, Isadora Conroy is an art collector that has an antique store, with a loving family and a beautiful life. This two have nothing in common, except for the strong attraction between them. The whole trouble started when an employee from the shipping yard switched two shipments and delivered the good to the wrong addresses. Nobody noticed, except for the man that had valuable pieces of art hidden in that shipment: little sculptures inside big sculptures, valuable painting over which they painted something else... Well, the bad guy - Finley - hired a thief - DiCarlo - to get his things back, the most valuable of them. He manages to find the trail to Isadora's shop, but with casualties. After a couple failed attempts to rob Dora - and rape her, at some point, he get's killed by his employer, and Finley's "handy man" - Abel Winsap replaces him. The two men try to rob/torture/kill Isadora, but the fact that Jed is madly in love with her and a cop, makes things tough for them and they fail. Winesap is caught by the police while trying to pay Dora for the painting she had, and Finley was shot by Jed and his partner in Isadora's apartment. The man shot Isadora, but she managed to survive. Almost in every book, we have a love story and a couple that goes through hell for true love. Well, Isadora and Jed are fighting for their love and triyng to get over bad memories. 
Haven't thought that I'll like the book, but I loved it. It's a book full of intrigues, secrets and passion. If you decide to read it, you won't regret doing so.

Check out what the girls read this past week.

RO version

Jed Skimmerhorn este un barbat trist...isi paraseste casa pe care a mostenit-o de la familia lui si se muta in chirie. Proprietara cladirii in care se muta este Isadora Conroy, o colectionara de opere de arta cu magazin de antichitati, cu o familie iubitoare si o viata frumoasa. Acesti nu au nimic in comun, in afara de atractia pe care o simt unul opentru celalalt. Toate problemele au inceput cand un muncitor de la vama a incurcat doua transporturi si le-a trimis la adrese gresite. Nimeni nu a bagat de seama, cu exceptia barbatului care avea lucrari de valoare ascunse printre opere de doi bani. Barbatu acesta - Finley- angajeaza in hot - DiCarlo- care ar trebui sa recupereze toate obiectele valoroase. Acesta da de urma Isadorei, dar multa lume are de suferit din cauza lui. Dupa cateva tentative esuate de a o jefui pe Isadora si de a o viola, acesta este ucis de Finley, iar locul lui este luat de Abel Winesap, omul de incredere al lui Finley. Acestia doi incearca sa recupereze lucrurile de la Dora, dar faptul ca Jed este indragostit lulea de ea si nu o lasa singura prea mult timp, ii face sa esueze de fiecare data. Winesap este prins in flagrant in momentul in care a incercat sa plateasca pictura Dorei, iar Finley este impuscat in apartamentul acesteia. El a reusit sa o ranesca pe Isadora, dar aceasta supravietuieste. Ca in fiecare carte romantica, avem si aici cuplul de indragostiti care lupta pentru iubirea lor. Isadora si Jed duc o lupta apriga impotriva sentimentelor lor, dar nu reusesc. Ce se intampla cu ei, puteti afla daca cititi cartea...
Nu am crezut ca o sa imi placa aceasta carte, dar am ajuns sa o iubesc. O carte plina de intrigi, secrete si pasiune. Nu o sa regretati daca o sa va apucati sa o cititi.


Treceti pe la fete, sa vedeti ce au mai citit si ele in saptamana care s-a incheiat:
