Nicholas D’Agosto as Harvey Dent and Ben McKenzie as James Gordon

So Nicholas D’Agosto’s character on the new TV show Gotham is set to appear on November 17, 2014 which is the ninth episode of the series. He will be playing the role of the iconic character of Harvey Dent/Two Face. In Gotham [the show], Harvey Dent is a “bright, charming, idealistic Assistant District Attorney whose sole mission is to eradicate the crime and corruption that has poisoned Gotham. Although he will one day serve as the white knight Gotham needs so badly as a DA, Dent also gives us a fleeting glimpse of the hideous villain he will become — Two-Face.”

I’m pretty excited with Nick playing the character. I think he’s one of the most underrated actors in the biz and I’m glad he got chosen for the role!  I don’t exactly get the fuzz about his age because the guy looks awfully young and he definitely fit the bill as the young ambitious DA who turned into a dark villainous character in the series! Yay! Can’t wait to catch the episode! Be sure to check it out on Fox at 8/7 central.

Here’s the preview of the episode on Monday.

Book Review: Brokedown Hearts – Cameron Dane

There was promise in this book when I started reading it. I loved that the “antagonist” from the first book of this series got his well-deserved redemption. David is a beautiful and complex character and it’s so easy to love him despite his past mistakes – mistakes as a result of his upbringing. Ben however was a totally different case. He is too controlling, too abrasive and none too gentle. I didn’t really root for him throughout this story. It was presented as if they actually have a symbiotic relationship but I rather find it too unhealthy- at least for both of them. The story was nice and dandy at the beginning but it dwindle midway with excessive and prolonged sexual chapters (like they’re having sex 50% of the book) and I found myself drifting from the story. It’s also strange how this story totally deviate from its first three books’ style. Perhaps Miss Dane got bored with the series? I surely hope not. It was great with the first three books and I think I’d love to read more from it – maybe Sam and Mikael story for the next book? I wished I could have given this a higher rating but it just didn’t work for me this time.

 Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

Book Review: Take – Ella Frank

Posted on November 13, 2014 | Leave a comment

[Book 2 of the Temptation Series]

17798654I’ve already expected this to be a good follow up for “Try,” what will all the raves amongst the genre’s fans. Man’ I’m totally joining the bandwagon and was chanting Logan and Tate’s name at the top of my lungs after reading this. LOL. I love that we get to see more of Logan’s sensitive side here and who would have thought that our hotshot attorney used to be a geeky lovesick puppy? Poor Logan.

And poor, poor Tate – I feel so bad for him. It actually surprised me that despite the length of this book, the story never falters anywhere. It shows both MCs inner struggles with themselves and how they could work their relationship out against all odds. Oh yeah, the sex scenes? They’re okay. Like mind-gasmic okay!!! Drool worthy? Yeah – tell me about it.

 I cannot wait for 2015!!! Ella Frank, you’re so killing us!

Book Review: Snowfall – Cameron Dane

I enjoyed this novella immensely! It was nice getting a glimpse of how Christian & Jonah’s [Fostered Love] relationship progressed into something almost fairy tale-like and yeah, it was indeed a happily ever after ending for this couple. The intensity of their love for each other is just freaking adorable!!! It’s amazing how they balanced out each other’s personality. It was really sweet. The sex here was loaded (maybe a bit too much but no complaints here) and the whole Valentine’s Day theme was perfect. What a beautiful ending to their story.

 Together for four years now, Christian and Jonah from A Fostered Love are still wildly in love and passionately attracted to each other. Jonah has never seen snow, and Christian thinks he’s set in place the perfect Valentine’s Day weekend away to show his man something new.

Sometimes, though, Mother Nature can be a real bitch, and this year she brings Christian’s and Jonah’s plans to a screeching halt before they can even begin.

If there’s one thing that messes with Jonah’s head and heart, it’s seeing Christian upset. Can Jonah come up with a miracle and show Christian that sometimes the best holidays are the ones spent at home in your own backyard? via Goodreads

Book Review: You Get Full Credit For Being Alive – Cari Z

Posted on November 12, 2014 | Leave a comment
'had fun doing this. image from the net.

‘had fun doing this. image from the net.

Justin is a retired “professional killer” who stumbled upon a wildly beaten man along his property and decided to get some help for the young man who happened to be a cop and was believed to be a victim of hate crime having the word “fag” sprayed over the uniform of the victim. While recovering from the incident and trying to stay alive,  the young cop named Shawn seemed to touched something from Justin deep within. This leads to Justin making sure that Shawn gets the best care until he’s well and then plot revenge towards his perpetrators. Only this would make Justin come back from his retirement. Is he willing to do this for the man he barely knew but was extremely drawn to?

I really did enjoy reading this one and I love Justin’s character! The no-holds bar killing is just the way to go with this kind of story. I loved that he’s not a heartless killer but is equally brutal when it counts. It’s also nice how both MCs pasts were established well within the development of the story. There was a great connection between them that made them perfect for each other. I would’ve given this a perfect five stars rating if not for the too James Bond-ish characterization of Justin. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful story of love, redemption and second chances.

This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group’s “Love Has No Boundaries” 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.

Book Review: Frankie & Al – Sue Brown

Posted on November 12, 2014 | Leave a comment

8782738Blurb: Dumped by his boyfriend, Frankie Mason goes out with the girls, gets totally trashed, and ends his night by falling in front of a taxi. He’s rescued by a man with beautiful green eyes who takes care of him until he’s put into an ambulance. Frankie curses himself as he realizes he doesn’t have the man’s phone number. Still in pain a few days later, he is dragged out to a club only to be saved by Green Eyes once more. This time, he isn’t letting the man go.

Unfortunately Frankie has to attend a team-building exercise, nicknamed Womb Weekend, organized by his company. Al is working so he doesn’t mind, until he discovers who the team leader is. Al has a lot of explaining to do! 

§§§

Man, this was like the sweetest thing ever! A quick read with two super adorbs MCs oozing with undeniable charm. I really liked the fact that Frankie and Al are just regular guys who happened to find each other at the right time. I could easily relate to them especially with Frankie. So much for sheer beauty and wealth, these guys are so realistic; it was so easy to imagine them. The easy chemistry between them was there, the romantic connection was ample and the setting of their meetings – I’m totally giggling like a schoolgirl. Another great read from Sue Brown. 😉

Book Review: Lord Of The White Hell Book #2 – Ginn Hale

Posted on November 11, 2014 | Leave a comment

via goodreads

Picking up after the tournament that was the culmination of the first book in the series and Kiram was allowed to stay in Sagrada Academy given that Javier will look after his welfare. There are so many things that happened in this book but the main highlight for me was Kiram’s homecoming in Anacleto where we get to see more of his family and the ways of where Kiram grew up. Here, Javier also has to make a very difficult decision that could change everything in his life.

Oh, and I so loved that angle about Eleazar. That was hard for the guy I’m sure [no spoiler though 😉 ] I thought the middle and the most latter parts were a bit fast-paced but hey, I’m not really complaining. It’s still pure awesomeness [like seriously, I cannot wait to read the next book in the series]

Kiram fought his family and Cadeleonian bigots to remain in the Sagrada Academy to prove himself as a mechanist and to dispel the deadly shadow curse that threatens to destroy his upperclassman, Javier Tornesal.

 But when his efforts provoke retaliation, Kiram’s family and home are endangered. Both Kiram and Javier risk everything in a desperate gambit to combat the curse.

 But they never imagined their battle would come so soon, or that it would be led by the one person they trust most of all. via Goodreads

The bit about the man behind the shadow curse was kinda predictable but it’s all good since I’ve already expected it even from the first book. Oh and how I loved the people of Haldiim! Wouldn’t it be nice to have a place like that for real???!!

The conclusion here was rather abrupt but I think it ended that way to create more clamour for the series and it very much succeeded in a way. It is once again, just beyond!!!

Book Review: Lord Of The White Hell Book #1 – Ginn Hale

Wow! Just wow! And I thought after reading the “Wicked Gentleman,” Ginn Hale will have a hard time surpassing the greatness within the confines of Hells Below and beyond. Boy. Was. I. Wrong.

Kiram Kir-Zaki may be considered a mechanist prodigy among his own people, but when he becomes the first Haldiim ever admitted to the prestigious Sagrada Academy, he is thrown into a world where power, superstition and swordplay outweigh even the most scholarly of achievements.

 But when the intimidation from his Cadeleonian classmates turns bloody, Kiram unexpectedly finds via Goodreads

Lord Of The White Hell is a totally different universe of its own. It has magic, royalties, witchcraft, tribes, gods and so on and so on. Just imagine the vibe of Captive Prince [S U Pacat], the magical appeal of Hogwarts, put a pinch of Hugo and mix it with a tiny bit of the Hunger Games and you’d get the story of Kiram’s adventure here with his charming duke Javier – the lord of the white hell.

I haven’t read a book this detailed in a while and I’m totally awestruck by the world created by Miss Ginn Hale in this series. The book has everything you are looking for a romantic-fantasy series that you’ll find yourself wanting for more – more from this fascinating realm. Truly, the book is perfection. A total MUST-READ.

Hail Ginn Hale!!!

Book Review: A Fostered Love – Cameron Dane

[Book 1 of Foster Siblings series]

This is another beautiful story from Cameron Dane. I always appreciate the way the author so seamlessly writes her stories. Here, there’s fluidity in the way the romance blossomed between Christian and Jonah. As teens, they were put under foster care and they immediately bonded together. They got separated when Jonah was sent to JD leaving Christian behind. Years passed by and they were reunited when their foster mom died summoning them to take care of some business. What they used to have re-ignited and old and new feelings resurfaced.

 I just totally adored how the romance between the two came about. The sweet innocence of Christian, the endearing vulnerability of Jonah and their need for comfort was just heavy sigh-inducing in a good way. There was great chemistry between them and the sex was just an additional bonus. Scorching bonus for that matter.

 I honestly didn’t expect this to be this good and I’m very happy that I listened to my gut on getting this. It’s truly worth it and I couldn’t wait to read more of this [apparent] series!

Born to a prestigious political family, Avery Adams plays as hard as he works. The gorgeous, charismatic attorney is used to getting what he wants, even the frequent one-night stands that earn him his well-deserved playboy reputation. When some of the most prominent men in politics suggest he run for senate, Avery decides the time has come to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps. With a strategy in place and the campaign wheels rolling, Avery is ready to jump on the legislative fast track, full steam ahead. But no amount of planning prepares him for the handsome, uptight restaurateur who might derail his political future.

Between owning a thriving upscale Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Minneapolis and managing his long-term boyfriend, his plate is full.
