Set in modern day Hollywood. Celine has been crushing on her idol, Hollywood megastar Dare Montgomery (the most famous actor in the world) since grade school. She decides to make her dream come true and embarks on a mission: Become Mrs. Montgomery. Now, the road isn't exactly clear of tough competition as it is filled with starlets, supermodels, A-list actresses, socialites, name the breed, Dare has 'em all tucked nicely in his high-traffic bed. BUT, she has a secret weapon none of these women posses. Dare will be HERS. Carve that in stone!

Burned out, bored and badass, Dare Montgomery meets his self-proclaimed No. 1 fan in the world. One look at this maddening smartass with a face and body that could launch a thousand dicks and he wants to play with her so badly. She's also dying to but preferably with a ring on her finger. 
A jaded player. An idealistic virgin heiress. A clash of the Titans waiting to happen.
Dare and Celine meet in MEGASTAR (Stars Trilogy Book 1) and sparks immediately fly. She becomes his temporary secretary. Now Celine has an ulterior motive in working for this MEGASTAR: Marry him!. But it's easier said than done because Dare is a textbook case of narcissistic chauvinism. They are on opposing sides of the fence in lifestyle and perspectives but the sizzling attraction between them cannot be denied. Pretty soon, it's a blazing wildfire and they both give in to the demands of their passion.
In STARGAZER (Stars Trilogy Book 2), the fire of their passion rages on. They indulge themselves and feed on their hunger for each other. Problem arises when idealistic Celine starts talking about soulmates and happy endings. Dare freaks out. He is a master of the mating game but the soul business? No thanks! But Dare has become addicted to Celine's presence in his life and he has to choose: keep his free-wheeling lifestyle or let her go because she is cramping his style with her fairy tale notions of happily ever after.

Meet The Author


Her favorite authors are Jackie Collins (modern fiction) and Robert Greene (Philosophy). Her major influences in romance writing are Brenda Joyce, Linda Howard, Sandra Brown, Judith McNaught, Susan Johnson, Penelope Williamson, to name a few. (Source: Miss Eve's Smashwords Profile)
Interesting Facts: "I did not Wake up one morning and started writing like I do now. Nothing comes that easy in this world. It took several years of intensive reading and studying until I finally had the guts to submit my first manuscript to the major publishing house in those days, which I will confess was REJECTED. But I have come a long way since then. Yet even today, after several published books, I will continue to study, to hone my craft. I read tons of books on all subjects. I never stopped learning. Such is life anyway. We should never stop exploring and learning. Knowledge is the key to a higher understanding." 

Eve Montelibano is an Interior Designer and a hopeless romantic. That said, she couldn't be blamed for the amount of cheese and cream you'll find in her books. She loves to write about jaded, super alpha heroes and spunky, sassy heroines.and enjoys putting them in a lot of sticky, steamy, sweaty situations. Definitely not for the fainthearted.



Name: Evelyn May Guinid
Nickname: Evie
Penname: Eve Montelibano
The first thought that I had when I handed in my final manuscript to my editor:
-          Holy crap! :) Just like every first timer, I couldn’t believe it.
The weirdest thing about being a writer is:
-          Sometimes I wonder if I’m still sane with all the stuff that I write. Like, a crazy person doesn’t think he’s crazy, right? So I wouldn’t know. Writers exist in their own unique time zones. Don’t ever set up a date with them using your time zone. They won’t show up.

The end of the world will happen as a result of:
a.       World War III
b.       Alien Invasion
c.        Zombie Apocalypse
d.       Other : People not having sex. Seriously, mankind can survive with food scarcity but take out sex or make one gender an endangered species and it will be the beginning of the end.

My Favorite Hot beverage to drink on a cold day is:
a.       Coffee
b.       Tea
c.        Hot Chocolate
d.       Hot Cider
e.       Other: Milo

If I was a book character I would definitely be:
Lucky Santangelo because: She’s a bitch who takes charge and gets things done.

If given a chance, I would love to spend a night with:
(Explain):  Anonymous. I will ask him when he’s going to kill the bogeyman he’s been forever talking about in his YouTube channel.

In my own words, EROTICA is: 
Sex with a bored author.

A word to describe my final book in my series:
Uhm.

If I was going to rename my series, I would call it:
Blitzkrieg

If I could collaborate with one living and one dead author it would be:
Can I take three?
Living:  Jackie Collins, Robert Greene, Anne Rice
Dead:  Oscar Wilde, Hunter S. Thompson, Chuck Palahniuk

Now that my series is done, my next project is: 
Whoever (character) makes me horny.

My Review

So yea, this is the continuation of Miss Eve Montelibano’s Megastar. The first part left us hanging, right? The second installment will give you the oozing feeling of delight, ovary explosion, and pleasure.  I cannot give you any spoilers so you better read it. At first, I thought 10 chapters won’t be that lengthy but upon checking the pages; it was almost as long as the first one so yea, I was pacified. But I want moooooore. This book was full of intimacy, understanding and love. Miss Eve avoided the predictable pitfalls but brought a delectably sexy novella with a smart and funny woman and an oh-so-hot hero.

As I’ve told you guys before the little things that were written earlier, the small, tiniest details that we don’t pay attention to? Well guess what, they were useful. I love the characters especially Cruz. His lines were short but FTW!

“You should do something about your fucking itch, man. Use your fucking black book full of kitties you haven’t scratched for almost a month now." -Cruz, Stargazer

Ah, miss you, man! You should be in the lime light too!  

Over all, Celine and Dare won my heart. Celine was very sophisticated, well-read, stunning, rich, and well-mannered. And Dare, he has big dreams, big house and VERY big bank account. You have no idea what more big stuff he has, I do. LOL He was cocky alright. But if he wishes to open his heart for someone, that someone will stay there for a long long time. Eeek. That’s all for now.

She can't believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth.

But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind.War has come to Earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing.Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came.

My Review

I never imagined life will go on after learning that I was going to wait two more months for the release of Opposition after reading the entire series. I thought, I shouldn't have read ‘em since I cannot contain the excitement. Obsidian made me swoon and drool and God-knows-what. The other books in the series--which I am also looking forward to finish again to be able to write a decent, honest review --and I know will be a 5 perfect stars—are PURR-FFECTO!
No words can describe how I feel about these books. My first thought was… “Please let Katy find Daemon in high-speed… Please let him be the same Daemon I fell in love with and not some crazy lunatic guy who agrees to conquer the world and all that crap… Please don’t let anything happen to him, they just got married in Vegas for crying out loud!”I felt the intense emotion I was eager to finish the book but yea, it took me 4 days to finish it. WHY? I don’t want the book to finish without really understanding the story. This series hit the very core of my entire bookworm heart. The characters even the evil ones will stay in my heart for as long as I live. NO JOKE. Thank God for Jennifer A. and her ingenious mind.


My favorite line.


Heart pounding action packed ending, fast phased, and extreme. I have never loved a heroine as much as I love Katy I mean, she’d been through a lot, lost her dad, met Blake, the supposed step dad was crazy, been to Daedalus, met Nancy, lost her mom. A tragedy after another but remained strong. She's righteous, smart and a bad-ass fighter. That’s what Daemon loved about her, and that’s what I loved about her. No dead black bone in her body. Always, about others, always about Daemon, Daemon’s family and her mom, never about her. Ahhh, girl you are so perfect.

I became a book reviewer because of you Katy. You inspired me to become one. Thank you for that!

Oh she’s a book blogger. LOL Katy’s Krazy Book Blog that is.

The similarities between Adam and Pepe. Can you tell?

And Daemon. Wow. I never thought you’d actually take a bullet for Katy. I mean, man, that was…I dunno how to express it in words but you touched my heart. I guess that’s what love really is about. No second thoughts. When I started to learn about you guys, just reading the synopsis of Obsidian, you were the main reason why I read it. I thought, “Hey! Another arrogant hero to love.” And I never regretted it since. I love you for what you are what you have become, I am so proud of you guys. Y’all pulled ‘em off fluidly!


Unconditional love is what Daemon taught me throughout the story, no matter painful it is you have to move on, look forward, looking back is okay because running away from it doesn't do anything good you have to face ‘em no matter what but still you have to move forward. There’s no way but up.


OH I LOVE YOU ALL!


Shall I add more for you to read the entire series! These books are to die for. 

PS. Please let the paperbacks hit PH! Pretty please?

Title: Finding Sky
Author: Joss Stirling
Series: Benedicts #1
Publication Date: June 2nd 2011
Copy: Paperback (Filipino Edition), Ebook, Audiobook

Synopsis


You have half our gifts, I have the other . . . When English girl Sky, catches a glimpse of bad boy Zed in her new American high school, she can't get him out of her head. He talks to her with his thoughts. He reads her mind. He is the boy she will love for ever. Dark shadows stalk her past but a new evil threatens her future. Sky must face the dark even if it means losing her heart.

My Review

Finding Sky was weird for me at first because of the stalking schemes of the hero, Zed Benedict, but I think that was the whole point of the story. It was meant for you to understand that when you finally found your better half you have to take care of ‘em. Zed was a bad boy in a motorcycle who screams HOTNESS all over his aura. I love you ZED. <3
I just got crept out when Zed suddenly appeared into Sky’s window. I’m sure Sky was all crept out too. But anyways, he made up for that one.  Over all he was swoon worthy, kind-hearted hunk. I loved this guy so effin’ much. MARRY ME? (OH YEAH! I’M MARRIED.)
Sky was actually a girlfriend material. She had gone through a lot from her childhood and was very lucky that she had found her new home. Love her English accent and her obscure understanding to American history. The war got me.

Anyways, I've read a lot of reviews about this book and I read that there was something Twilight-y, AGAIN, about this book. I beg to disagree. I loved Zed, though I’m guilty of loving Edward first even though he sparkles. (LOL Sorry hun, you do sparkle, and I hate to write it down, really but my fingers kept on moving.) ANYWAYSSSSSS! I love the story, the plot, the settings, as well as the characters are purr-fection. The connection of the characters, yes! Please let’s not forget about that! It was amazing. I liked that Stirling didn’t break my heart and make Sky so pathetic (in a pitiable way of course). It was well-rounded, deliberated and was carried out very well. I liked it really! If I have three thumbs I’m going to give it three thumbs up! Better read this book or miss the exhilaration experience that this book will provide.
