✻This is not a review.This is the raving of a fangirl.✻

Oh.my.god.this book was fan-fucking-tastic!!A sweet,funny,sexy read that left me grinning like an idiot!!


“Ignore the tall,dark,and handsome vibe.Book boyfriends exist for a reason.”

Julian Lefray exists for a reason.To melt your insides into goo and destroy your chances at finding Mr.Perfect.I don't mind,I'd take Julian any day.



Josephine left her small Texas town and her overprotective parents and moved to New York chasing her dream;to make a name for herself in fashion industry.She was a popular blogger but that didn't pay her debts,so she took the job of Executive Assistant at Lorena Lefray Designs.Only she didn't work for Lorena but for her pantdroppingly handsome brother Julian.There was insta-attraction,but Jo wasn't willing to jeopardize her position and prove to her parents that New York isn't a place for good country girls,so she tried to resist Julian's advances.For a while.
“The morning light played up his hazel eyes and for a moment I was caught in his allure.The dark brows,the dark hair,the tan skin.A weaker woman would have thrown herself at him a long time ago.”

Excuse me while I fan myself and try to think of something else besides how devastatingly sexy Julian is!Phew!I swear if I ever encountered his dimpled smile I would giggle maniacally and I'd ungracefully swoon!


“One word:Ijustgotpregnant.”

Ok,ok,I'm getting serious.R.S. Grey's writing is really compelling,she wrote a story that could be easily turned into a Hollywood movie!The Allure of Julian Lefray is a book that combines romance,sassiness,funny incidents and a healthy dose of steam,a light read with not off-the-charts drama,a perfect romantic comedy!I laughed and enjoyed the banters and flirtations between Jo and Julian so much,they were both fantastic!!Jo is a feisty heroine with a humorous attitude towards life,you may think she is shallow because of her obsession with fashion but she is far from it!In fact she is a good-natured,determined girl who tries to balance her life and achieve her goals and falls in love with her boss.I already expressed rather enthusiastically my feelings towards Julian,but I need to point out that he is more that meets the eye!He is a sweet and loyal brother,a successful businessman and although he understood Jo's reservations,he fell head over heels for her and that made him adorable!

If you haven't read it yet,go for it.You're welcome!

Χαρά Ζ. I will definitely read the book, but i am not the kind of girl that fights over boys, so, he is all yours <3 You know, i've never pictured myself reading this type of books but you make them seem so much fun and enjoyable. I'm so out of my comfort zone and i love it. This is pretty damn amazing xD

(το γυρνάω στα ελληνικά :Ρ) κι εγώ μέχρι πέρσι δεν τα διάβαζα,αλλά ήταν στιγμές που ήθελε ο οργανισμός μου κάτι ανάλαφρο (ιδίως αν διάβαζα κανένα φαντασίας που μου διέλυε την ψυχολογία) και άρχισα να ψάχνω στο goodreads και βρήκα την RS Grey που είναι υπέροχη!Το συγκεκριμένο το διάβασα σε ένα μεσημέρι και όλη την υπόλοιπη μέρα γέλαγα σαν χαζή,έμοιαζε με χολυγουντιανή ταινία!Επίσης αγαπώ την Julie Johnson,γράφει απίστευτες ιστορίες!Ελπίζω να δοκιμάσεις το συγκεκριμένο είδος! :D

Χαρά Ζ. Ναι ρε συ, μετά από τόσα κλασσικά και τόσο ψυχοπλάκωμα θέλω κάτι πιο ελαφρύ. Δεν γίνεται συνέχεια με τους θανάτους, τις ψυχολογικές αληγορίες και την εσωτερική πάλη. Ως νορμάλ άνθρωπος χρειάζομαι και κάποια βιβλία απλά για να περάσω καλά ρε παιδί μου xD Ειλικρινά τα reviews σου είναι όαση σε σχέση με αυτά που διαβάζω, και εννοείται θα διαβάσω κάποια από τα βιβλία που προτίνεις <3


Carlene Inspired I read this review because of Thumbelina (Come on, she's so cute!) and now I'm buying the book!

Ααα τι καλά,ειλικρινά εύχομαι να σου φτιάξουν το κέφι και να σε κάνουν να ξεχαστείς!Ύστερα από το φινάλε της Riyria που με είχε επηρεάσει βαθύτατα πήρα σβάρνα όποιο ελαφρορομάντζο έβρισκα μπροστά μου για να ηρεμήσω! :Ρ Και έχω ανακαλύψει έτσι βιβλία-διαμάντια,που κάθομαι και ξαναδιαβάζω συνεχώς!Το contemporary romance έχει γίνει το δεύτερο αγαπημένο μου λογοτεχνικό είδος!(βέβαια αφού τελειώνω ένα τέτοιο βιβλίο κάθομαι και κλαίγομαι ότι θα πεθάνω μόνη μου :P )

Χαρά Ζ. Έλα βρε Κατερινάκι που θα πεθάνεις μόνη <3 Αυτό που είπες με τα ελαφρορομάντζα μου θυμίζει μία φίλη μου που μία περίοδο είχε πάθει εμμονή με τα άρλεκιν και κει που ήμασταν στην παραλία και κείνη διάβαζε κλασσικά άρλεκιν (μιλάμε το κακό το ίδιο :p) περνάει μια καθηγήτριά μας και μας λέει. Καλά, πάλι με το Άρλεκιν είσαι παιδί μου; Λιώσαμε και οι δύο στα γέλια, αλλά συνέχισε να διαβάζει :p 'Αμα σ αρέσει και περνάς καλά, να διαβάζεις. Δεν είναι όλες οι ώρες για ποιότητες. Είναι μερικές φορές που και μένα την τραβάει ο οργανισμός μου τη Ρόζαμουντ Πίλτσερ (την αγαπώ). Με έχεις επηρεάσει τώρα και με τα review σου, μόλις είδα κιόλας το city of bones που έκανες, πάω να σχολιάσω εκεί :P

Χαχαχα πρέπει να ήταν πολύ αμήχανη στιγμή!! :Ρ Αχ μα τι να κάνω η έρμη που δεν μπορώ να διώξω αυτές τις σκέψεις!!Τα διαβάζω τα ωραία μου βιβλία,ερωτεύομαι παράφορα και όταν τελειώνουν κοιτάω το ταβάνι και λέω "γιατί δεν μπορεί να συμβεί και σε μένα κάτι τέτοιο;;σνιφ σνιφ" και μετά τσακίζω τις σοκολάτες!!:D Αα χαίρομαι τόσο που σε επηρεάζω,αυτή τη στιγμή κοιτάω τον υπολογιστή και σου λέω με σαρδόνιο χαμόγελο "welcome to the dark side,we have yummy boys"!

Χαρά Ζ. Χαχα, όχι δεν ήταν αμήχανο. Επειδή μας χαρακτηρίζει και μία άλφα αναισθησία και επειδή τους καθηγητές μας τους ξέρουμε προσωπικά στο νησί. Ήταν απλά, πολύ, πολύ αστείο :p Όχι μωρέ, μπορούν να συμβούν και σε σένα <3 εδώ συμβαίνουν σε μένα που ξοδεύω τη μισή ζωή μου στο πισί. Απλά πρέπει να πάρεις τη μεγάλη απόφαση να βγεις από το σπίτι, να αφήσεις για λίγο στην άκρη τα βιβλία και να κυκλοφορήσεις, να δεις κόσμο, να περάσεις καλά. Μετά όλα τα άλλα θα έρθουν από μόνα τους <3 Το σχόλιο για το star wars το άφησα για το τέλος γιατί ήταν επικό xD Με έχεις κάνει να θέλω να διαβάσω ότι ρομάντζο δεν έχω διαβάσει όλα τα χρόνια. Κάτι κάνεις με το force, δεν εξηγείται αλλιώς


Katerina Μουαχαχα η αλήθεια είναι ότι έχω ενδώσει στη σκοτεινή πλευρά της Δύναμης και την χρησιμοποιώ με περίσσεια χαρά για ανίερους σκοπούς,βλ. να διαβάσεις ρομάντζα!xD Για να μου λένε όλοι ότι πρέπει να ξεκολλήσω λίγο από τα βιβλία και τον υπολογιστή μου κάτι θα ξέρετε :P
