The American Roommate Experiment
From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martin, who are forced to share a New York apartment.
Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn't told her family and now has terrible writer's block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina's spare key while she's out of town. But Rosie doesn't know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking-for lack of a better word-on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armour. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks.
Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He'll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control-but Lucas's time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline.

Neon Gods - Alvilági szerelem
Úgy volt, hogy ő csak a mítoszokban létezik. De attól a pillanattól fogva, hogy átkeltem a sztüx folyón, teljesen megigézett...
Az ultramodern Olümposz elitjének üdvöskéje, Perszephoné Dimitriou azt tervezi, hogy megszökik, és új életet kezd valahol máshol, távol az Olümposzt uraló istenek, a tizenhármak tisztességtelen politikájának világától. Azért döntött így, mert anyja a tudtán kívül Zeusznak ígérte a kezét, aki a csillogó-villogó látszat mögött meghúzódó sötét világ veszélyes, teljhatalmú ura. Mivel nem marad más választása, Perszephoné a tiltott alsó városba menekül, ahol eladja a lelkét Hádésznak, akit korábban csak egy mitikus hősnek gondolt... a férfi pedig bevezeti egy olyan világba, amelynek létezéséről fogalma sem volt. Hádész mindig is az árnyékos oldalon élte az életét, és továbbra sem áll szándékában kilépni a fényre. Ám amikor rátalál Perszephonéra, ráeszmél, hogy ezzel lehetősége nyílik az évek óta tervezett bosszú végrehajtására. ennél több ürügyre nincs is szüksége ahhoz, hogy segítsen a lánynak -- aminek persze megkéri az árát. igen ám, de minden egyes szenvedélyes éjszakával, amelyet együtt töltenek, egyre jobban a szívébe zárja Perszephonét, és úgy dönt, készen áll akár az egész Olümposszal szembeszállni csak azért, hogy ne kelljen elválnia tőle...
Hádész és Perszephoné modern átdolgozása, amely édes, mint a bűn...

Lacná kniha Ako sa zo mňa takmer stal Američan (-70%)
Kniha je písaná na základe denníka, ktorý si autor knihy - Andrej Krcho - počas pobytu v Amerike písal. Je teda písaná jednoducho a vecne, no hlavne veľmi autenticky. To iste ocenia najmä tí, ktorí majú podobný výlet ešte len pred sebou. Môžu si to vďaka knižke najprv prežiť len tak "nanečisto" a potom sa rozhodnúť. Ako človek, ktorý podobný pobyt tiež absolvoval však jedným dychom dodávam, že i pre mňa bolo veľmi zaujímavé konfrontovať vlastné zážitky s tými Andrejovými. A napokon, keďže spoznávanie zahraničia sa iste, okrem nespočetných praktických kladov, naviac stáva i akýmsi módnym trendom, je táto knižka zaujímavým čítaním pre hocikoho, kto nežije ustrnulý kdesi v minulosti, rád ide s dobou a chce poznať súčasný životný štýl mladých ľudí.
