Bachelor in Paradise (Review)

This week's episodes (yes, episodes) of Bachelor in Paradise was full of drama, manufactured of course.

Let's talk about the sisters first. Lauren has left which is great news for me. If I ever had a sister, I hope she's not like Lauren at all, not even a little bit. Who needs a frenemy when you can have Lauren, Ashley I.?

Ashley I. cried buckets. What else is new? Especially when Jared asked Claire on a date. I don't even know what happened there but apparently Claire is too old for Jared? Anyway it looks like Ashley I and her "perfect guy" are going strong.

The biggest surprise for me is Joe. How big of a jerk is this guy? I could not believe it. I have to confess I mostly just recorded and deleted episodes of the Bachelorette without watching. But when Joe was let go I actually felt bad for him. This guy is horrible! WTF is wrong with him? Is he even a real person? I could not even.

Rose ceremony...

I was surprised that Tenley picked Joshua. Then I remembered what Joshua looked like and I wasn't surprised anymore.

To be honest, I don't watch these shows live. I record them and watch while I get ready for work so I may have missed some things. I still don't care about anyone on the show other than Claire. She really deserves to find love.

The Rewrite (Review)

The Rewrite is a romantic comedy film starring Hugh Grant as a washed-up screenwriter who begins teaching at a state university and Marisa Tomei as a single mom with whom the screenwriter finds romance. The film is directed by Marc Lawrence based on a screenplay he wrote. -Wikipedia 

I have a confession to make.

I don't find Hugh Grant charming. I didn't like him in Notting Hill. The only time I enjoyed his performance was in Love Actually. But to be honest... he just doesn't do it for me. So why did I, at 11 o'clock last night, push play on this movie? Maybe because I was bored. I just needed something to watch to make me sleepy. It did make me sleepy.

Hugh Grant is his usual bumbling self with the accent and the blue eyes and the smile. He was alright, I guess. Nothing spectacular. Marissa Tomei was her usual enthralling, magnificent, beautiful self. She was spectacular.

Don't get me wrong, there was no chemistry whatsoever. The plot was expected and tried but they made do with it. At most this movie did what I wanted it to. It made me sleepy.

Rating: Half a glass of red wine

Accidentally Hooked by Carmen Falcone (Review)

Accidentally Hooked by Carmen Falcone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once again Carmen Falcone has written a story with three-dimensional characters and a great hook (pun intended).

The story of Ryan and Kika is definitely hot, complicated and intense-- everything I have to come expect from Ms. Falcone. And again I'm truly impressed. She manages to create these characters and they're immediately real to me as I read the pages they come to life.

Kika is riddled by guilt and family loyalty when she meets Ryan, who in turn is protecting his family. The parallel lines between the two is quite interesting. Both are broken, trying to fix themselves and feel whole again.

Ryan is now my favorite Falcone hero. He is so charming and sexy! I definitely recommend this book.

Accidentally Still Married by Carmen Falcone (Review)

Accidentally Still Married by Carmen Falcone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Grace and Sebastian find themselves still married to each other and even though things have changed the sexual attraction is still as tangible as it was when they first met. And there's nothing wrong with a little "sexy time" between two consenting, extremely hot, adults, right? It's not as if they're going to find themselves in the murky, confusing and complicated waters called "love". They worked hard for their happy ending and it is well-deserved.

Carmen Falcone once again (ooops, she did it again!) impresses with believable characters and chemistry that oozes off the page. I feel like I'm repeating myself when I write reviews for her books but I cannot help it! I enjoy her voice. I find it flirty, hot and irresistible. So sue me! Or don't. Just read the book and see for yourself.

Accidentally Seduced by Carmen Falcone (Review)

Accidentally Seduced by Carmen Falcone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Accidentally Seduced is the latest hot romance from Carmen Falcone and it sizzles so much I had burn marks on my fingers.



The setting is the corporate world of Denver where we find Devon drooling over the CEO seat that his step mother was about to vacate. But that's not the only thing he's drooling over. His assistant Elena with her sexy librarian look had been tempting him to go over to the dark side. He is trying so hard to resist.



Unbeknownst to Devon, Elena was hired by his brother to spy on him. She has her own demons to escape from. She is smart, competent, sassy and definitely ready to get her freak on.

Conflicts of interest + lust + dark family secrets + balloons (trust me) = ONE HOT SEXY ROMANCE.

Carmen Falcone keeps you flipping the pages with fully-realized characters who make you invested in their goals and dreams. This is definitely a keeper.

The Bachelorette: Season Review

Kaitlyn's run as the Bachelorette has ended and despite all the scandals and "OMG SHOCKING" moments, the guy I thought she would pick was the one she picked. Expected.

This season was indeed a little rockier than most.

What happened to the romantic dates? Sumo wrestling. Rap battles. Boxing. WTFuckery is this? Whoever was assigned to think of romantic dates utterly failed this season. It seemed like all the dates were created to humiliate these guys. It's not enough that they're competing for a girl, let's make them punch each other out. Not cool. Focus on the romance aspect.

Please let's just give Nick a rest. Kthnxbye.
