MoMoBookDiary (20 KP) rated One Day in December: A Christmas Love Story in Books
Oct 1, 2018
I loved the idea of this book and it sounded just my perfect romance read. However it was so much more than I could have hoped for! I read it in one sitting and found the lovely sunny day had gone dark and wet by the time I moved from the sofa - but oh! what a day I had in the world of this amazingly beautiful love story!
The story is told over a ten year period, beginning in December 2008 which is where the Christmas part comes in. The story is told in sort of diary form from the characters perspectives and jumps many months at a time so you get the good bits whilst the story unfolds.
It sounded like it could be yet another love triangle with the obvious difficulties however it is so unlike anything I have read before. It is a book for all ages – no nasty double crossing, no detailed erotic sex scenes or nasty, bitchy comments we are so used to being part of daily lives – however, there are many tear-worthy moments in this absolutely wonderful true love story.
The author has found a way of telling a story in today’s times without having all the drama that we are so used to seeing in these types of situations. Everyone deals with events in a very mature way and forgiving way which ensures that whilst reading you can live in a feel-good bubble. I did plenty of bubbling while reading and many sharp intakes of breath at times too. It is a story of love, heartache, friendship and the unbreakable bonds.
I can honestly say I will be recommending this to everyone I speak to in person, on twitter, Facebook and anywhere else that I can. It’s amazingly beautiful – you really should go read it!
Thanks to Josie Silver, NetGalley and Penguin for giving me the opportunity to read and review prior to the paperback release in October 2018.

ArecRain (8 KP) rated A Very Ruby Christmas (Bound and Determined, #4.5) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
Everything Lavinia Kent writes is gold. From her characters to her story, it is easy to read the love and work she puts into every word. I am enamored with her complex characters who stories grab you from the very beginning and keep you hooked until the end. She has the ability to make her erotic scenes both intimate and tantalizing.
I have been waiting for Rubys story for a while now. As one of my favorite secondary characters, I was interested in story and HEA. Kent did not disappoint. A Very Ruby Christmas was everything I wanted and more, everything I didnt know I was asking for. I couldnt be happier with the story and how it ended.

Emotionally gripping (1 more)
Multiple person view/take
Wonder had me gripped from the first five minutes. The story is emotionally touching from the very first scene. I personally absolutely love how they portrayed every character in first person with their own aspect of the story, while not jumping around and making the story hard to understand. It also somewhat forces the viewer to understand the emotions felt by each character, because of their place in the family, and family situation. Without spoiling the film, I can say personally it is easy to feel for other characters than the youngest child.
All in all the film flows well, has an incredibly touching story to which many I feel could possibly learn from.

Love more Maul? Will not disappoint
Contains spoilers, click to show
This story of Maul is the best comic purchase I ever made. It goes more into the story of how good Maul was as a Sith before the Phantom Menace.
He originally is sent off to kill some Trade Federation types, but he is then presented an opportunity to kill a Jedi Padawan. Having an unbridled hatred for the Jedi, he takes advantage of killing her.

Not as good as the book, but not bad
I read the book years ago and fell in love with it. I was excited to see the movie but was left a little disappointed. It was good but kind of ruined what I had made up in my imagination when I read the book. The story is beautiful, fun and action filled. The chemistry was perhaps lacking between the lead actors. It didn't really gel for me.
