Stolen away years ago, Princess Lara is offered an ultimatum by new King Adel. Return to her kingdom as his Queen or pay back the bride price! Feisty Lara refuses, but remembers how Adel used to make her heart race… When Kate takes a job in Africa and meets old flame Simon, she’s shocked to discover he’s an honorary king. She’s sure the sun has gone to his head when he says she’s his perfect queen!

The Problem with Josephine by Lucy Ashford- Review!

To celebrate the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton, Mills & Boon are releasing a fabulous e book collection, featuring seven royal romance short stories through the ages.

I was lucky enough to be sent The Problem with Josephine by Lucy Ashford, which is one of the seven stories, for review:


Lucy Ashford


What its about:

It’s springtime in Paris and Emperor Napoleon is about to marry Archduchess Marie-Louise of Austria. All around the city Napoleon’s courtiers are preparing for the spectacularly lavish wedding. Everything must be just right… Ordered to remove all portraits of Josephine, the Emperor’s first wife, seamstress Sophie has to track down a talented artist called Jacques. He promises to carry out the commission, but only in return for a kiss for every hour he works…

My thoughts:

This is a sweet little love story, perfect for when you just want to have a little awww-true-love-still exists smile on your face and a gooey feeling inside of you!

Sophie is the head seamstress in Napoleon's palace and has dilemma which only a very talented, yet cheap artist- (since money is tight)can solve!
So she seeks out the rakishly handsome and super hot Jacques who, {surprise, surprise} wants his payment... in kisses!

I liked this story. It was sweet and totally fluffy and soft.
Jacques was so hot! Plus you just HAVE to love a guy who is creative.
Artists FTW!
It was also good to know that Sophie did not fall in love with Jacques because of his money/wealth, but because she genuinely liked him and had SPENT TIME with him. In a lot of romance stories, there's just a lot of sex and BOOM you're in love. But even though the getting-to-know-each-other part felt a bit rushed it was nice to see the main intimacy happened AFTER they had fallen in love!

The background, of Napoleon's wedding is pretty cool. I loved reading about all the artsy tidbits buried in the story  about the various artist and paintings!

On the fluffy short story scale i give it  2.85 stars! And if you're crazy romantic then 3.5 stars!

Thankyou to the lovely people at Mills and Boon once again for sending me a review e book!

BestFriends: Gotta Love.

I wasn't feeling so good today.

The problems are the usual shit: Me being an obese blob, growing a double chin/ stupid shits who suck/ exams.
You know, the usual.

When I finally got home from school, I just wanted to put the earphones in, and switch the world off and SLEEP.
And then I saw it.



It was lying on the table.
It was from Karachi.
It had my name on it.
IT WAS FROM MY BEST FRIEND.


AAHH! I WAS SO HAPPY.

 Surprise packages FTW!


She sent me the most gorgeous/adorable/creative shizz eva:

Really funky cards with an equally funky envelope = ALL MADE BY HER. By PEN.
Two adorable key chains from Firefly.
And again, with the cute pink envelope, made by her awesomeness.
A pretty notebook.


And.... *drum roll plz*

A BOOK!







Sounds good. Can't wait to read it.

In other news, we went to watch Rio, in 3D this week. It was SO CUTE. And very funny. Loved it.

I also got crazy and tried to draw something cool but ended up with the following fail.
But woteva. Betta like it goiz.

Thats all for now.

Faith, Trust and a sprinkling of Pixie Dust.

When I was very small and first saw Peter Pan, I thought the flying bit was very possible.
I had my faith.
I had the trust.
All I needed was the pixie dust.
Thats where my mommy came along, and helped me. We got a big bag of sequins, and the glitter at the bottom of the bag? That, she told me was the pixie dust.
So I stood on the bed (though mom tried to tell me it wouldnt work) and prepared to jump.
To fly.
I took a fistful of the glitter and flinging it in the air, I jumped.

And promptly fell down.


It was very very disappointing. My lil' ol' heart almost broke from the intense sadness of the situation.
I had been looking forward to fly for so long, and when finally we had gotten all the ingredients, the ending was a huge fail.
As I look back on that day, I feel sad once again, for my crushed hopes, and as I look at myself now, at some things that are going on in my life at the moment, I feel a surge of hope.

If I got through being dissapointed at the failure of magic at that tender age?

I can certainly get through it now.

Though I wish, for the upteenth time, I had a fairygodmother who'd wave her magic wand and turn the asshole into the toad he is. :)
Oh and bestow upon me a brain so I can stop the mindless procrastination and study for the MEGASUPER CHEM EXAM I have tomorrow.
