The Spiral Down (#2 The Fall Up) Review, Quotes, Excerption by Aly Martinez

If you read this book, you're bound to love Henry and go crazy over Evan.

The first book, The Fall Up is not my taste but I continued this series because of Henry. He's such an amazing person and I would love to know about him more. Then, I got into the mess of this heated romance and...

/phew/

The writing is good. It's funny and sensuous. Nothing to comment. It's just great. But what's better is Evan Roth...

"you can't cure ignorance with violence. They need to understand that love is love. Between a man and a woman, a man and a man or a woman and a woman. And babe, I know you consider yourself gay, but you know how I feel about labels. I sure as hell don't want the boys growing up thinking it's okay to cast them on others."

Why is he like this? I fall for him pretty hard for saying this.

I tagged this book under celebrity romance. Henry Alexander is a star, everyone loves him and it looks like he's getting everything he wants in his perfect little life. But that was not true. Henry was lonely and he constantly is searching for the love he wants. The love that won't leave him after seeing his ugly side. And because of too many failures in finding his one true love, he started to go for the straight men.
He thought Evan was straight when he pursued him.

And the story goes...

Life is a struggle, but it’s who you chose to take on the journey with you that matters the most.


I didn’t understand how, after all these years of avoiding men, I was suddenly enamored by one I barely even knew. I didn’t understand how he had enraptured me with a single stare from across a crowded arena. I didn’t know why the heat from his flames consumed me like never before. I didn’t know why my mind was screaming at me to run as far away as I could, but my body absolutely refused.


I miss him. His laugh. His randomness. The way he can captivate me from across a room. The rush I felt when we were together.

Lost in Scotland Review, Excerption and Quotes by Hilaria Alexander

The first book I read in November !!!
Because Colleen Hoover read it and complimented it just like "The Sea of Tranquility"

This book is about a romance between a makeup artist and an actor. Sam is that makeup artist and Hugh is that actor.

"I wanted to see how the LA girl would fare in Scotland, with its mysterious beauty and harsh climate. Set in the fictional town of St. Martin, Lost in Scotland has every element of a good romance: a hot Scot to die for, a feisty British BFF, gossip, revenge, Hollywood drama and a grand finale." That's outright came from author, herself.

Sam ran away from her hometown after breaking up with her famous actor-boyfriend and she needed air. She got herself a job at as a makeup artist and met Hugh at work.

A sneak peak of Hugh's thoughts on Sam ;)

Things were good for all of two days. Granted, it was neither my fault nor Sam’s. The circumstances sucked, and it only got worse.
I didn’t seem to have a choice when it came to Sam.
For years, I had avoided any distraction and only focused on work, but now I couldn’t push my thoughts of her away. I knew this wasn’t the time to chase after someone, yet my heart wasn’t listening.


The book is real fun. It's easy and interesting read. I think I only spent two nights on that book. Sam could be a little stupid in the end but overall, the whole book is good.
So, Check out the quotes ~

Hugh Macleod, you're everything to me. You know that, right? The world might know you because you're gorgeous and good at what you do, but you are so much more.

The power of music was undeniable. A good song could make me feel stronger, empowered, and suddenly I felt able to sweep away most of my feelings of homesickness.

It was a daily struggle to be so close to her and not being able to do anything. Even when we aren't together, I could see her.
