Review
If I based my rating on the way the scenes were created, then I would have given it 4-stars. But it doesn’t seem right. So I am basing my rating on what this story made me feel. It’s been almost a week since I’ve read this story, but until now I can’t wipe this stupid grin off my face whenever I remember this story especially Sibal. His name is kinda weird, but that didn’t hinder my love for him. Ayeeeiii!
Unlike her other stories that I’ve read, this one is kinda different. Why different? Well, in this story, I noticed quite a number of typo errors. But so far, it didn’t destroy my reading experience. The twist and turns also isn’t my liking. I am not really a fan of a love story where the guy or the girl will sacrifice something so he or she’ll live and the likes. It’s just too cliché and I hate useless drama. And lastly, there’s some parts in this story that weren’t really explained much. I don’t really want to drop some spoilers so I’m not going to expand on that.
This story has those but I salute Jonaxx because she still managed to get my full attention. Her writing style is really impeccable and I can’t really really really contain my “kilig”. It’s been almost a week since I’ve read this story but I’m still grinning like crazy whenever I remember the characters especially Sibal.
And speaking of Sibal, Jonaxx is one of those rare romance writers that would make me squeal and fall in love with the main character even how ugly their names are haha.
I also love how she added humor in this story. Deym Jonaxx! You really are the best!
For the main characters, I don’t really have any complaints at all. I know some people might find it quite annoying how she described her male character as this “super” as in super duper handsome, to the extent that you’ll think they’re all a Greek god. Tagalog romance is normally like that, but what’s great with Jonaxx is her ability to really persuade you to believe her. Her ability to make you imagine the character and her ability to make you swoon. I’m not sure with you, but that’s what her characters do to me. And Sibal is absolutely one of them, ayeeeiii.
Snow, the female lead, her character didn’t really stood up to me. She’s fine, I don’t feel threatened or annoyed with her so I guess that’s a relief eh?
This story has a third party-thingy. The moment I found out about that, I instantly prepared myself to get ready for some annoying feelings that are about to come. But fortunately, the third party in here isn’t that b*tch, and that’s quite a relief.
Aside from making us fall in love and laugh our hearts out, this story also has some lesson which makes this story even greater!
Just like her other stories, it also ended with the guy’s POV and it’s really really emotional, especially when you’ve got to read how the guy started to fall in love with the girl, and what he did just to have her and it just touched my heart. The scene at the wedding finally won me over and made me drop a tear or two. It’s just simple yet it struck my heart. Can I have you instead Sibal? Deymmm!
What I always noticed with Jonaxx’s stories is that it’s her male lead that I am always excited about. Haha not because they’re hot (which is sooooo sooooo true) but because I love how she makes their character so effective.
This story may not be the best and flawless-free that I have read from the author but it really is one of those stories that really affected me, and that’s a great thing.
So hurray for another 5-star rating story from Jonaxx. And oops, this story contains some SPG scenes and unlike her previous works, it’s more intense for my taste. Well, I’m not really sure but it affected me so much haha. I really don’t know what Jonaxx did in this story because it really is sooooo infectious. Deym! It’s in a great way of course, but it’s bad for me haha.
Good luck and read on your own risk *wink.

OMG i suddenly miss those 5PHP novellas I used to buy/trade in Recto back in the day!
Yep, I do trade novels too when I was younger but when I get a hold of Sonia Francesca’s Stallion series, dang! I learned to collect them lol. It’s really great that there’s wattpad nowadays where we can read Tagalog romance whenever and wherever we want.
Wow, five stars! That’s pretty awesome. I’ve not heard of this author or book! I’m not on Wattpad so that might explain it. 😀 I’m glad you enjoyed this story, Vanessa!
Have a fantastic day. =)

Thanks Alyssa 🙂
I agree with you, if it’s a serial series, I tend to wait until it’s completed before starting it. It definitely sounded like it was well worth the wait. I don’t even know when the last 5 star book was for me, but it’s been a while.
It definitely is Kristin, this story is really worth the wait.
