M.L Rhodes Always


Book Title : Always


Author : M.L Rhodes


Rating : *****, Two Kisses


Review :


This book holds special place in my heart.

The book combines the first two part of Never Let Go series. For years Will McClaren and Ethan Gallagher hid their deepest love, and desires from one another, each thinking the other was straight. Both of them too afraid of shattering their friendship to admit their real feelings. But, one night, in her sister wedding, Will was drunk and declared his deepest secret in his whole life to Ethan, that he been in love with Ethan ever since they were kids. (Yay! They Love each other). So, they spent one explosive and memorable night. (Of course). The morning after, Ethan was gone, leaving behing Will with heartache and raged.

I love this story. Can you believe it ? two best friend who been in love with each other but never made moves because they were too scared they will ruin their frienship. (They been in love for 16 years). Can You Imagine It. Such beautiful story and sad. I love everything in this book. I even love name of the characters - Will and Ethan. :: Tizi, Focus, Focus with review ::


Continue with review, ....


Another Can You Imagine...

Can You Imagine after you been in love for 16 years and finally..., finally... you know that person loves you back, and even that person also loves you for 16 years too. (Aww... I think I'm gonna cry), you spent one hellacious night (I don't know how many rounds they made love. hihihi...), and in the morning you found one person.. ONE person that you love for your whole life been gone. Yup. Ethan gone. And he gone for 3 years. Without contact at all. No phone call, No email, No letter. (What The F***).

Don't worry, this is not the heart breaking story with sad and bad ending. This is the heart breaking story with happy ending. Yay.

So, another Can You Imagine... Can you Imagine after that person been gone for 3 years, and suddenly he shows up in front of your house. Oohh.. There's reason behind why Ethan been gone for 3 years. (Don't ask me. I will not tell you, because it will ruin the moment. Believe me). You have to find out on your own.

Like I said, I really love this book. I feel what Will's felt after Ethan gone. Especially after Ethan suddenly shows up at Will's house after been gone for 3 years. I feel Will's hatred toward Ethan. I was crying when I was reading the part when Ethan came back (50 pages, or more). I couldn't stop crying. I know.. I know... I'm such a crybaby,... and a whiner...Hey, I can't help it. It's a sad story and a beautiful story.



So, Never Let Me Go.

Rowan McBride - Want Me


Book Title : Want Me


Author : Rowan McBride


Rating : ***** Five Star, Two Kisses


Review :


Joel Beckett is a popular jock football (Yeah ! Love that ). He is a star on the football field, and he likes fooling around with girls around campus (Yuck ! Hate that). Everyone worshiped him on campus, including Walker Cain, his roommate.

One night, Walker Cain couldn’t hold his love for Joel any longer, and he invokes ancient magic that binds him together with Joel. Walker Cain is cursed, and everytime he provokes the spell he gains a thing from Joel. One thing that is precious to Joel : His Blessing. Each time it happens, the reality shifting, and new life given to them. Suddenly the situation changing, now Walker Cain the popular one, and Joel become the not so popular one.

It’s never enough for Walker Cain. Each new life, Walker whispers the seductive words that Joel can't resist. His spell.

Want Me.


The Story is very original. I never met story like this one. Last year when I read this book, I was so amazed. The author did amazing and wonderful job creating the character and the storyline. I really couldn’t put the book down until it finished. I feel the love that Walker feels toward Joel. It feels real and pure, and I couldn’t help feel sympathetic for him, even though he is the bad one. And I couldn’t help feel for Joel, I’m really scared for him, because he is losing so much in his life (Trust me!). I never knew what will be the ending. But don’t worry, the author gives a wonderful ending. In the end, I’m really smiling (BIG SMILE ).

I couldn’t say anymore for this book. Until now, this book still in my TOP TEN books.
If I could give this book Ten Star, I would. Trust Me.

The Alchemyst


Book Title : The Alchemyst


Author : Michael Scott


Rating : *****


Review :


Ini bukan buku M/M Romance lho. Nih buku bergenre fiction and fantasy buat teen adult, tapi cukup menarik buat disimak untuk semua umur. Apalagi buat yang menyukai buku2 yang mengisahkan petualangan yang seru dan menarik diikuti dngan Magic dan Mythos. In my opinion, ni buku ga kalah dengan Harry Potter, malah gua lebih suka buku ini drpd Harry Potter (Hey, no offense buat Harry Potter fans). Ceritanya seru, ringan, penuh dengan Magic dan enak dibaca.


Story starts with Sophie and Josh Newman, the twin-15 year-old siblings take summer jobs in San Francisco. Sophie works at coffee shop and Josh works at bookstore owned by Nick and Perry Fleming. They don't realize that Nick Fleming is Nicholas Flamel, the 14th-century alchemist who could turn base metal into gold, and make a potion that ensures immortality until Dr. John Dee, the enemy who is also immortal comes into bookstore with his golem and start attacking Nicholas Flamel and Josh. Dr. John Dee looking for rare book "Codex" an ancient text of magical wisdom, which he is succeeded by snatching it from Nicholas Flamel. The problem is, without that book, Nicholas couldn't make potion for his and his wife immortality, and he is only has 30 days, before he died. Each day passed, Nicholas getting older 1 year and he is aging faster. And lately, Josh and Sophie learn that they are the Twin which mentioned in the Codex's prophecies: "The two that are one will come either to save or to destroy the world."


I really like this book, besides the story I really feel the connection between Josh and Sophie as Twin. I have a sister, she is 3 years older than me, but the strange things, We feel like a Twin. We have a connection, something like that even though we are different and obviously opposites, and not a Twin. If she is fire, then I am water. Something like that. The funny things, usually after she is sick, and she's getting better, then it's my turn getting sick. Yuck, It's suck ! :: I don't like getting sick ::


So, for everyone who likes enjoy reading book, and dreaming and fantasy, and you wanna bring the feeling and memories when you are still young or teen, (Hey, No offense People !) (I, Myself still like to dreaming even though I'm not a boy anymore) I know I know, I'm a man now. Yeah, lucky me.



Now, available the sequel of this book - " The Magician " and soon in May will be released the third - " The Sorceress "

The Centurion



Book Title : The Centurion

Author : James Higuchi

Rating : ***** Five Star, Two Thumbs Up

Review :

Buku ini merupakan buku pertama dari Centurion Cycle. It starts with pertempuran antara dua kekuatan besar antara Qul Tos dan Domus Empire. Qul Tos yang dipimpin oleh Ice Queen yang bernama Regent Eleanor akhirnya kalah oleh kekuatan Domus Empire yang dipimpin oleh Centurion General, Agamemnon. Queen Eleanor membuat kesepakatan untuk tidur dgn General Agamemnon dengan persyaratan bila Eleanor mengandung anak laki2, anak itu harus diserahkan ke Centurion di Domus Empire dan bila anak perempuan maka Eleanor dapat mempertahankan tahtanya sebagai Ratu Qul Tos.

Di sini cerita dimulai, Eleanor yg akhirnya melahirkan anak laki2 yg bernama Jason Argot, tdk bisa menerima kenyataan, lalu dia mengurung Jason di Menara Tower dan dididik sebagai anak cewe. Hingga akhirnya Centurion General, Agamemnon datang menuntut anaknya dengan membawa pasukan Centurion nya.

Jangan salah, buku ini merupakan one of the best gay sci-fi fantasy stories I read. Ini buku M/M Romance, bukan buku perang lho. Ceritanya tentang Jason yang disiksa sama ibunya selama 20 tahun (Bayangin aja, uda disiksa, dikurung, dijadiin anak perempuan lg) sampe akhirnya diselamatkan oleh Centurion yg namanya Philip. Dimulai d cerita percintaan dan petualangan Jason dan Philip. ll

When I was a boy, I used to dream and think I'm a Prince. hehehe... a boy can dream. Nah, ni buku memuaskan impian gua sebagai Pangeran dengan Prince Charmingnya.
