Wed by Deception
My rating: 7,8/10 Ok, I really hate the FL's father. What the hell, you can't call ruining someone's love and forcing your will on them love. Besides, there's too much (sexist) nonsense to unwrap here. The ML was ambiguous, but I liked the FL. REUNION, WILL, MARRIED COUPLE Bc of her father's will, the FL has to live in an apartment for a year without working. After 2 months, her neighbour returns. But he is her husband she believed to be dead?
The Marakaios Marriage [The Marakaios Brides 1]
My rating: 8,1/10 The FL has social anxiety due to her horrible mother, but she is a boss. How she told the ML to sit down, I loved it! The ML was likable too, he respected her and listened. Luckily, there were no toxic people in the story. MARRIAGE, SECRET, REUNION Half a year after she left her husband bc she couldn't cope with the duties of a rich man's wife and he was always working, he comes after her and asks her to pretend everything's fine between them for a week to please his mother who hasn't much time left.
Second-Best Wife
My rating: 7,5/10 It wasn't bad. It was corny but cute. No toxic caracteres, just "forbidden love" although I don't understand how they could fall for each other without even really knowing each other. PRIEST, ITALY, VACATION When the FL goes to Italy to find the place of her great-grandmother's childhood, she befriends a local from a rich family and falls for his brother. But he is going to become a priest and can't be in a relationship.
Katakoi No Atosaki
My rating: 7/10 It's alright I guess. It's cliché, VERY short and the smut is ok. The art isn't exactly my cup of tea here. COWORKERS, UNREQUITED LOVE When the FL hears from her coworker she has a crush on that he broke up with his girlfriend, they go out and end up in bed together. After that, he can't forget about her.
Wife By Contract, Mistress By Demand
My rating: 7,2/10 Oh wow, the ML was a rude jerk with trust issues bc of his ex. He wrongfully accised her mother of marrying his father for money and considered her to be the same. He doesn't deserve her. STEPSIBLINGS, CONTRACT MARRIAGE After their father's death, two stepsiblings have to live as a married couple for six months in order to inherit his property. But the ML accues her of being a gold digger and she doesn't want to be hurt anymore.
MILLION-DOLLAR AMNESIA SCANDAL
My rating: 7,9/10 I liked it. It was corny, especially the end, but it was sweet and I really liked the main couple. The ML was considerate ans it all was just very wholesome. HOTEL, MEMORY LOSS, JAZZ After a car crash, a famous jazz vocalist loses her memory. Shortly before, she traded her label for the hotel of the ML's brother who died in the accident. Now, the ML wants her to void the contract, but she refuses to do it until she remembers, so they go to the hotel together.
The Marakaios Baby [The Marakaios Brides 2]
My rating: 7,8/10 The ML was really caring, everyone was nice except for the traumatised FL actually. But well, healing her trauma with love real quick works in harlequin I guess. MARRIAGE, PREGNANCY When her lover for 2 years proposes to her, the FL cruelly declines bc she's afraid of love. But 3 months later, she returns to him pregnant with his baby and asks for a marriage for the child's sake.
Business Affairs
My rating: 7,6/10 The FL is quite shifty. She actually lied to him about taking the pill to secretly get his baby. I mean I get that she loves him, he's awesome, but that's a bit ... yea nah ... BOSS, PREGNANCY, AUCTION The FL wants children but she's too busy with work to date anyone. One day, she participates in an auction planning to get a baby from a stranger and wins a date with her boss whom she secretly loves.
A Tycoon to Be Reckoned with
My rating: 8,3/10 It was full of emotion, I loved it. She is such a queen singing "queen of the night" after he dumped all his cooked up assumptions on her and stabbing a knife into his table. I really enjoyed his regret. OPERA SINGER, FINANCIAL GAP When the ML hears that his naive younger cousin has been into a bar singer lately and spent some money, he assumes that she is using him and approaches her to protect him. What he doesn't know is that she is actually a humble opera singer who works at the bar as a side job.
