Does he have what it takes to be America’s Next Top Model?
America’s Next Top Model Cycle 22 premiers Wednesday, August 5 at 8/7c only on CW!
Marubdob at makahulugan. Napakaganda ng pagsasalaysay ng kwento. Kahit na hindi inabot ng dalawampung pahina ang kwento, naisalaysay ng manunulat ang kagalingan niya sa pagkukwento. Ang ganda ng tema, ang ganda ng pamagat. Tama si Aris, maari kang magmahal ng sabay subalit hindi ka maaaring magmahal ng pantay. Tumbok na tumbok niya dun yun.
– at sa aking pakiwari, nangangati lamang itong si Calvin at kagaya nga ng nabanggit ni Aris – tulad ng ikalawang piga sa gata, malabnaw na ang pag-ibig na iniaalay ni Calvin. At ang pinakamaganda sa lahat ng sinabi niya, kung walang katapatan sa pag-ibig, hindi magiging ganap ang kaligayahan. Sa bandang huli, itong si Calvin magiging mesirable sa kanyang buhay pag-ibig. Napakagaling!!!! Bravo!!!
“Masasaktan siya kung mamahalin mo ako.”
“Hindi siya masasaktan dahil mamahalin ko rin siya.”
“Ayokong makihati sa kanya.”
“Buo pa rin ang pagmamahal ko sa’yo.”
“Bawas na dahil mahal mo rin siya.”
“Maaari akong magmahal nang sabay.”
“Hindi ka maaaring magmahal nang pantay.”

This book was from a new male author Jamie Dean and it actually has a lot of potential because the premise was brimming with plot opportunities. I also thought that it was very current and the characters were quite likable. What I didn’t like very much which I thought dragged down the story was the way the flashbacks from both characters was presented. You see, backstories are wonderful because we get to feel more from where the characters are coming from. It adds depth into our understanding of their ‘angst.’ I guess what irks me were the constant flashbacks in it – I feel like they did nothing but reminisce all about their high school life. I’m like – okay, get on with the program already boys. It was like an endless loop that goes on and on. In all fairness with the author, he was able to finish the story in a solid note – albeit a predictable one.

About The Author
Jamie Dean is pansexual in his late 30s. He lives in the southwestern US with his domestic partner, two dogs, two cats and a selection of outdoor-dwelling lizards.
He tries to write at least 1000 words everyday, though most days it ends up being much more. For Jamie, writing is an addiction and a way of life. He finds inspiration everywhere and sometimes can’t sleep for all the ideas fighting for his attention.
His first male-male romance, The Story of Jax and Dylan published April 8, 2015.
This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group’s “Love is an Open Road” event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.
Photo Description:
A person stares out at you, someone clearly no longer human. His hair is white, his skin is dusky purple, and his eyes are the color of honey. He’s scarred, a cut spanning his face from cheek to cheek, and he’s looking at you like you might be lunch.

Cari Z sure knows how to create quirky, adorable and just oh-so-dreamy characters! Javi and Conrad are simply a wonderful tandem! I totally loved Javi! He’s just the cutest and most adorbs ever! Of course Javi will remind you of Jesse Eisenberg’s character from Zombieland but a way funnier version of him – and way hotter of course. And Conrad! Ugh. So dreamy!!!!! The hottest human-zombie (?) ever. I loved the whole interaction of the cast, the comedy was very well written and of course, the world building itself. We’ve seen a lot of Zombie Apocalypse stories but personally, this would be my first time to read one centered on queer romance. I just loved it!
And this is also free so Yay!
