The Andreou Marriage Arrangement

Complete | Helen bianchin,Earithen,Harlequin | 2019 released

My rating: 7,5/10 It was alright. The ML's face looked a bit like a plank, but the art was ok otherwise. I liked that the FL didn't forget all about her trauma right away with their first kiss, it was more realistic. Her ex is abusive scum, he got what he deserved. MARRIAGE, WILL, TRAUMA Before he died, the FL's father made arrangements with a wealthy businessman in order to save his company and get her a husband. Now she has to marry the former playboy, but she isn't ready for love due to her past trauma.

A Valentine for Daisy

Complete | Betty neels,Shizuku katsuragi | 2019 released

My rating: 7,8/10 The ML is a bit of a coward. He basically watches her all the time until the last couple of pages and thus seems pretty cold. His proposal came a bit out of the blue. The FL is an angel. She's so kind and flawless, it wouldn't surprise me if she began to shine or something. DOCTOR, CHILDREN, FINANCIAL GAP When the children at the nursery she works at suffer from food poisoning, the FL loses her job. Luckily, a handsome doctor she met in the process recommends her to his sister as a temporary nanny.

A Lover's Kiss

Complete | Margaret moore,Yoko iwasaki,Harlequin | 2019 released

My rating: 8/10 It was actually quite interesting as the story had traits of a whodunit. The FL is strong and the ML is a bit difficult due to his trauma from the war but still a good man. I enjoyed it. HISTORICAL, STATUS GAP, CRIME After the war between England and France, a french seamstress goes to London in order to search for her brother. One night, she saves a lawyer from assassins. But when they come to get her later on, she returns to him and they both temporarily move into his friend's house for safety.

Stepping Out Of The Shadows

Complete | Robyn donald,Ruka kirishima,Harlequin | 2019 released

My rating: 7,2/10 The idea was interesting, spending a night together after a plane crash, an abusive ex and a child. But it went downhill later on. The FL acted dumb and seemed oblivious. What bothered me the most is that they used her child to lure out her ex. Like, do you wanna traumatise him?! REUNION, ABUSIVE EX, CHILD Six years ago, the ML and the FL survived a plane crash together and spent the time until their rescue in a passionate embrace. Now, they meet again, but the ML forgot what exactly happened and doesn't recognise her. Meanwhile, she is afraid to fall for a controlling man again.

Her Impossible Boss

Complete | Cathy williams,Yoshiko hanatsu,Harlequin | 2019 released

My rating: 8,3/10 He's a jerk, but not intentionally, he just can't understand other people's feelings and is an arrogant workoholic. But he has a kind side. I loved the FL, she's funny and strong, she puts him in his place from the start. I loved seeing him regret his actions. CHILD, NANNY, PREGNANCY Bc his daughter rejected all the nannies he hired since he took her in after her mother's death, a company president hires the sister of one of his employees who's staying in America for the summer. But he didn't expect to fall for the bright girl who easily manages to bond with his daughter.

The Marriage Debt

Complete | Louise allen,Takako hashimoto | 2019 released

My rating: 8,2/10 This was quite good. There actually was some development as the story was a two-shot and I liked the main couple. They felt drawn to each other right away but didn't confess until the end was near. I hate her brother tho, he's scum. DEATH ROW, DEBT, HISTORICAL Bc of the huge debt her brother made under her name, a young noble lady decides to marry a convict who's on death row as her debt would disappear the moment her husband died. But when she meets him, the man turns out to be gentle and sophisticated and on top of that wrongfully accused. To save him, she decides to search for the real culprit.

Dokushin Otoko No Kanpai

Complete | carol mortimer | 2006 released

He's a horny jerk who hates women. What the hell did she fall for?

Ame ni Nureta Tenshi

Complete | Julia JAMES,Yuko Ichiju | 2000 released

My rating: 6,5/10 He's a sexist man who makes assumptions without checking if they are true. I don't get how he can be a successful businessman, he's so childish. The romance doesn't feel realistic. MISUNDERSTANDING, FINANCIAL GAP When he hears that his gullible brother is marrying, a rich businessman wants to check out the bride to protect him from gold diggers. The woman he meets is a hostess, but when he sees her without make-up, he falls for her and wants her for himself.

Dark Heritage

Complete | Emma Darcy | 2000 released

My rating: 8/10 It seems I'm really into women who teach the ML how to raise his child. It was really interesting as his niece was rather difficult due to a lack of love. But unfortunately, the end was really rushed, like the author realised that they only had a few pages left. CHILD, NOBILITY, NANNY When the FL goes to the mansion of a baron in England to find out more about the mother she never knew, she gets mistaken for a nanny and introduced to his nasty niece everyone hates. They clear up the misunderstanding, but she decides to help the little girl and stay for one week.

MISTRESS FOR A MONTH

Complete | Miranda lee,Jet | 2019 released

My rating: 7,8/10 The FL's special. She's wounded, strong, proud and overall so elegant. She criticises him in her cold way making him mad for her. I love their chemistry. BET, MISTRESS, CHEF Although the ML is a successful chef and gets many women, he can't settle down. He's in love with the cold woman from his poker group who always fights with him. One night, things escalate and they make a bet. He wins making her his mistress for one month. But is that what he really wants?
