Description from goodreads :

  From New York Times bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes a sexy standalone Billionaire Romance.

My ex was a con artist who left my life in shambles. But am I going to let that break me? No.

I’ve got a plan. It’s a long shot, but with some hard work, I’ll pull my life back together.

Only, just as I’m in the thick of it, I find an unusual bottle with a note inside: “You get one wish. Make it count.”

Har har. Someone’s idea of a joke?

Apparently not.

And nothing could prepare me for the screamin’ hot man with piercing blue eyes who shows up at my door. He says the note is his and he wants to give me true happiness. Money is no object. A wish granted from a billionaire.

Uh, is he for real? And why me?

I should slam the door in his sex-god face, because this guy has trouble written all over him. But the more time I spend with the demanding, arrogant man, the deeper I get into a twisted history that pulls at my heart.

Suddenly I do have a wish... Him.



My opinion:
          This is really a good and funny romance with a touch of dark events, i loved it and had to read it in one sitting.
For her first standalone this author does it's wonderful! The story is great , a message of hope with well buit characters.

Ginnie is  a strong woman, she was deeply hurt but she is moving on, independent she put others before herself and she is an artist. When offered a wish she simply can't believe its'( true and even if it is she doesn't have one, in her eyes you must work to deserve something.

Mr Wish... he is mysterious, generous but buried behind that there is something traumatic too. He is partly broken even if he refuses to admit it

together they make a great pairs with their difficulties, their hopes and their feelings growing.

Really i loved this story and if you want an excellent contemporary romance this one you can grab and simply wish for the best.


Score:  5/5

 Description from goodreads :

 From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes the STEAMY Part Two and conclusion of The Boyfriend Collector.

My name is Dr. Bex Hughes, and I’m in love with a woman who cannot truly love me back. Unless I help her as my patient, and that is forbidden—a taboo in the eyes of the world and the worst professional sin for a therapist.

But what else can I do? Rose was once a real-life Cinderella. Now she’s wealthy, single, and free. Except she’s convinced that love is used to hurt people, family tries to murder you for money, and no one can be trusted. It’s all she’s ever known.

So I’m bending every rule I’ve ever lived by and helping her find her way to real happiness. Only, my self-control wears thin as I hear the details of Rose’s dating adventures. Can I prove I will love her unconditionally before my jealousy shatters her trust in me forever?




My opinion:
          
    This story starts right where part 1stopped and it's great because this is not just a steamy book it actually has a more deep story behind it and it's what makes it a good romance in my eyes.
Rose is determined to follow her dreams to be free but not really sure of how to do that when Bex just can't deny his feelings anymore....he is determined to help her without making her feel like she has obligations towards him so he decides to keep his feelings secret....even if it means listening to Rose's experiences with other men....

They both need to learn to trust each other but themselves first which isn't easy as danger is still lurking around and even bigger than before.... some unexpected allies, some twisted villains  added to their insecurities....and fantasies.

This story has steamy descriptions but a real background story as well; we follow both Bex and Rose point of view, as well as another, on the events and investigation trying to keep Rose safe so it's really an interesting story of which  you will want to discover the conclusion.

YOU Description from goodreads :

 From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes a Horribly Sunny Mystery, The Librarian’s Vampire Assistant.

NOBODY MESSES WITH HIS LIBRARIAN. . .

Who killed Michael Vanderhorst’s maker? It’s a darn good question. But when the trail brings Michael to hellishly sunny Phoenix, Arizona, his biggest problem soon becomes a cute little librarian he can’t seem to stay away from. He’s never met a bigger danger magnet! Even her book cart has it out for her. And is that the drug cartel following her around, too? “Dear God, woman! What have you gotten yourself into?”

Things go from bad to worse when local vampires won’t play nice.

Can this four-hundred-year-old vampire keep his librarian safe and himself out of hot water? Can he bring his maker’s killer to justice? Yesterday, he would’ve said yes. But yesterday, he didn’t have a strange connection with a librarian. Yesterday, people weren’t trying to kill her



My opinion:
          I really loved this paranormal romance mystery , it was refreshing and funny!  original as well because for once the vampire isn't the boss -oki among vampires he is- the human girl is her boss in the normal one and poor vampire is only a librarian assistant so no high class job.

I particularly loved the fact that it was his choice. Miriam intrigues him and he wants to understand why especially since she isn't a top model and more clumsy than he could have imagined adding the fact some are targetting her  then his need to protect her jump into action with some consequences he wasn't looking forward like a bond with an human. Michael is on the hunt to find his the one who killed his maker, not looking for love and he has zero experience with turning or the general rule with a bond between humans and vampire.  The law he knows the how, consequences, effects he is only guessing since he had  no interest in that for 400y.
I loved the fact that no matter how strong he is he still has to learn. he best part? He is a books lover!!

The secondary character like Lula are funny as well, she needs Michael as she is younger than him but she also understand him and second him the best she can even when she disapprove his decision. Some members of the council are more than funny as well.

The investigation is captivating, there is a lot of humour and action and a touch of romance : the perfect mix! I can't wait to get my hands on book 2!



Score:  4,5/5

Accidentally in Love with… a God (Accidentally Yours 1) by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

Hello to all,

                    i'm really posting late ( or early in fact since it well past midnight) but i didn't want to make you wait longer so  now that i have a few minutes of calm i'm sharing with you my latest read.

First, i wanted to thank you for your thoughts and prayers for my dog, he isn't out of danger yet but i got the results of his new blood analysis and that show a little improvement, enough that the vet decided a new traitment ( injection during a week) to help him fight his infection. he was energic to go out for a walk but for the last days he wasn't eating at all so he couldn't oral medecine, this should help ( he needs to eat, he lost 2kilos in less than 2weeks). i'm still terrified for him but i don't give up i will do all i can to make him better so thank you for your support.
this was taken a few years ago but i though you should see for whom i'm fighting and praying for. He is so cute don't you think? kind and protective too

 Now what did i read?  A new series... at the moment i start more than i follow up but it has been a long time since this one tempted me so it was the perfect moment to indulge and take my head out of the problems for a bit.. the result was simply addictive and i will read more by this author in a near future . Here comes my opinion on " Accidentally in Love with... a God"

Short description from goodreads :

 Twenty-two-year-old Emma Keane has a secret friend. He’s powerful, mysterious, and devastatingly handsome. In her dreams, anyway.

In real life, he’s an enigma. Maybe just a teensie jealous. Definitely overbearing. He’s also a voice only she can hear.

So who or what is he? He won’t say. But if she wants to be free, to be normal, Emma will have to trek to the jungles once ruled by the Mayans and find the forgotten ruin holding the answers.


However, the ruthless deity she’s about to unknowingly unleash on the modern world, might not be so easily extracted from her life. Bottom line, he’s got enemies, and now, so does she.

My opinion:
          Fantastic, I really loved this one.  At first I was intrigued because the summary spoke of Mayans and I’m quite attracted but story set in that time of with element from those cultures ( Mayans, Aztecs etc)… a remembrance of my love for the anime “ Les merveilleuses cités d’or” ( the old version ( ’80) with the after little explanation for historical or geographic elements)

Yes the story isn’t fully on those elements but Votan  later called Guy is from there ( and other cultures^^;;) and part of the story is in the jungle so  for me it was more than enough. Add to that a really interesting plot, secondary characters well done some intriguing like Cimil  ( really energic goddess) or Gabran the chief who loves to annoy his god ,some irritating like Tommaso  ( can’t understand how emma can trust that one he is so “off”). The universe is really well thought and well described, right at the beginning you get insight about the Uchben and later  more information come to complete the description, Votan explains right at the start how “gods “are working so all that make the story one you can really easily get immersed into.  I was hooked right from the start and couldn’t stop turning the pages.

After speaking so much about the setting and the secondary characters it’s time to focus on the main couple. First, Emma, I quite liked her she is funny, can make stand up for herself and don’t let Votan/ Guy bully her. She is energic but more important she has a wonderful heart. Since little she had someone amle speak to her… first like a friend later like an arrogant infuriating companion. She doesn’t know why but it has started to be too much for her and she wants to be free or she thinks so.

 I loved to see her interactions with Votan and it was really funny.  Now  she also started to be a little infuriating when she couldn’t make up her mind about being free or not, trusting him or not she was like a yoyo in the second  part of the book and I just wanted to shake her a good time and stop whining.  Still  , I’m not sure how I would have reacted either.

Votan… I was immediately vouching for him^^;;, hard to explain why but in all mythology ( greek, roman, norse, mayan etc)  I’m not against the god of death and/or war….more than often in fact I pity him. It’s not a easy job and it makes you be seen as bad but there isn’t life without death to start with ( even if it seems unfair and that we hate it  it’s a fact)… as for the war…. Battle with honor are different from simple violence and while I dislike (euphemism) the war in general I know humans won’t stop, no need for a higher being to have a hand in that.  It’s not my favourite deity but like I say I pity the one with that task because I think he ( she sometimes) must feel really alone and  misunderstood. Votan did share that trait. OH he is a fighter, a warrior and one really talented but he takes no real pleasure on taking care of the bad souls…; he just do his job. Later in the story we will learn that it’s even more complicated than that.

While my heart was on Votan getting the girl I still was annoyed from time to time with him because he is the arrogance itself and while wanting to protect Emma….he is so out of place. He wants her to feel angry to make her ready? Perhaps it works with soldier but not with a lover and treating her like a child because mortal and fragile doesn’t help his cause… he was quite clumsy in a way that was also touching.

Really there is only  1 or 2 details that bothered me and it’s the reason I can’t give a 5/5 but it’s barely since I loved it so much despite everything. First I took some times to understand why the narrator suddenly called Votan Guy…  thought I shouldn’t have because with a French pronunciation it’s a perfect traditional  first name^^;;), it’s logical and explained a little after but at first it was confusing. The second thing that bothered me? The last page..; really I could have done without it since it set a cliffhanger and I’m not sure book 2 will start where we left  these characters and it frustrates me


 That being said this story is really funny, with endearing characters, romance, a lot of action and some elements from less know cultures and mythologies so if you want a original story with those elements you must try this one! I can’t wait to start on book 2 and get the others already released. You won’t be disappointed!

Score:  4,5/5
