Review: Kulti by Mariana Zapata

Kulti by Mariana Zapata
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

That was a really good story.
This is the very first book that made me wanna reread it all over again just as soon as I finished.
I mean I knew that I’ve got to the end, and I knew that the ending was leaving my imagination open to fly with the last sentences, so I knew that I didn’t want a sequel but for some mysteriously reason I just wanna to reread the whole book all over again.
I never thought a book about sports could make the perfect background for that kind of story.
This is a really well detailed story, for once I got to read a book where the characters doesn´t fall in love immediately at first sight or for some kind of freaking unstoppable attraction that goes right away between them since the very moment they laid eyes on each other. Here we see the whole development of a relationship, - of course that it has a lot of things that wouldn’t go that way in real life, but nevertheless - we got to see a length of at least six months with ups and downs between the character and how assholes, guys could really be and the heroine has my deeply respect for the things she has to endure in that sport, and of course with a temperamental guy like that as well and besides, adding that has latin influence into it, it also makes it kind of cool.
This relationship, goes beyond the beginning of their relationship, it takes us to the foundation of the strengths and dreams of each one of them, their hopes in life and what they are really looking in life… how every single person in the world is looking exactly for their playmate and waiting their whole life in order to get to them.
I really loved the book, is mostly soccer talk - and that was a good thing because that’s a sport that I’m actually very well aware of, (latin American family here, please)- so… at least I wasn’t in a total loss there.
I can probably could keep talking about this book for veeeeery long, and I’m 100% sure as I’m already searching up the paperback copy to purchase it, that I’ll probably be rereading this one very soon.
LOVED IT, and those quotes!!! Dear God!

”I´ve been waiting, and I will keep on waiting until the time is right. You are my equal, my partner, my teammate, my best friend. I’ve made so many stupid things that you’ve made me regret- things I hope you will forgive me for and look beyond- but this, waiting a little longer for the love of my life, I can do…I have never wanted anything more in my life than I want your love, and I don’t want to share that with anyone. I haven’t done a single thing in my life to deserve you, but I will never give up on you, and I won’t let you give up on me”

Review: Lingus by Mariana Zapata

Lingus by Mariana Zapata
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Mmmm 3.5 stars, I guess.
I´m definitely staying with Kulti, and NO, this was absolutely NOT like Changing His Game
It all started good and pretty much funny enough, I mean it was really good to read a book where everything related to sex was treated like a daily topic - which it was - and besides take it by the funny part.
So yeah, they practically clicked right away, - at least not by an unstoppable force of attraction between each other- they kind of grew their own feeling along the development of their relationship as friends first, which was pretty much great.
The thing here is: any couple has at least- and I’m being very generous here at least ONE FIGHT! What did they have? A jealousy attack for each one of them? …not buying it!
This is a book to have a great time with, but not a meaningful book , I would say… since the time the heroine realized the hero’s true identity… the whole book is focused on the path where both of them will be toguether. Nothing else. The secondary characters brings up laughter an nothing more. The hero brings up teasing and sexuality, and the heroine: humor, doubts and friendship… all of that finishing up in the way the reader was expecting. Not a single trouble or fight, of course without counting jealousy, selfcontrol and doubts.
I’m kind of sad… I was expecting something more Kulti style; but looks like this one stays behind it.
And I’ve been reading two books from this author by now.. so … what’s up with the heroine preferences about older guys? At least in this one, regardless of her preferences: she ends up with a stunningly hot guy very close to her age.
And besides all the sweet comments of the hero to the heroine, this is the quote I liked the most .

"You're like my moon. Pretty pointless according to other people, but without you, the world is pretty much over. I wouldn't have any stability, there wouldn't be any cool things like tides; if you broke like a million pieces you'd kill everything on the planet"

Review: Under Locke

Under Locke by Mariana Zapata
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Charles Dexter Locke, I LOVE YOU! , would it be wrong if I say that I'm seriously jealous of Iris right now?

So, the book started with a very low pace for my liking, besides the whole grumpy deathly attitude, calling names to each other and the constant angry state coming from Dex while he was trying to restrain himself, wasn't helping either. And also Iris wasn't doing so much of an effort either way, I mean she was a good and naive girl, and she really goes through hell and back thanks to her dad; but she didn't have to make anything worse at going by herself at the mouth of the lion, right?
Oh, anyway.
Dex was seriously hot, that's an understatement, and he really was a better person when he was with Ritz, while she was growing stronger when they were together.
Sonny? I'm in love of sonny and Trip, if they ever have their own story, I wouldn't mind reading about it at all.
Also this book is really developed in the whole MC world, at least this one was a decent one, with their own honest businesses and families as well.I seriously like a hell of a lot better Dexter when he wasn't fighting with himself anymore.
The book tells a lot of tragic and real things and how the FC struggled her way out of it, I really love when a book gets to give you hope about a better scenario in life.
I don't have much to say here, the book just focused on the struggle of both main characters in order to survive the hell the female character's dad have thrown above them and how they got to know each other and fall in love... so not much about life lessons there. I 'm still staying with Kulti at it.
I really don't wanna talk much here, a pic worths a thousand words, right?

Dex's frigging hand was underneath my panties, palming my bare butt cheek

"If I was a good man I' tell you to find somebody better, somebody that won't lose their shit over an eye fuckin' you"
"But I'm not a good man, and I'm gonna take everythin' you want to give me and evrythin' you don't"
"I want it all, baby"

"You've gotta be the best thing I've ever knew I wanted"
