Winter's Kiss Book Review


Author : Jennifer Echols (The Ex Games), Catherine Hapka (The Twelve Dates of Christmas)
Released year : 2012
Genre : Romantic comedy, fiction

This is a 2 in 1 book where there are two different stories in it. The first is The Ex Games and second is The Twelve Dates of Christmas

Synopsis:
The Ex Games
Hayden and Nick's steamy relationship has ended in a frosty breakup, and now they're just friends. But when they decide to go head-to-head in a boarding contest, the friendly competition gets heated....Will sparks starts to fly on and off the slopes?

The Twelve Dates of Christmas
Lexi has come up with a master plan to make Cameron break up with her: get him to fall for another girl so she'll be free (and guilt-free, too). But when the plan goes well - too well - Lexi starts to wonder if she hasn't made a terrible mistake. Has she let the perfect guy get away? And is it too late to get him back? 

My reviews:
The Ex Games 
Both books were fun! Haha. A light and easy read. The perfect books to read during winter although there is no harm reading them during other seasons. lol

I like the second book slightly better than the first though. Don't get me wrong, Jennifer Echols is a wonderful writer and The Ex Games was nice. It's just that both Hayden and Nick's relationship was quite silly. Sorry to say but yeah. Okay, they broke up - that too over a stupid reason, only to realize that they still like each other. Nick was mean to Hayden for 4 YEARS because he still likes her but at the same time he still dated other girls?? =.="

But all in all it was an interesting read. All thanks to Echols for those cute and funny moments. The characters were relatable too, at some points.

|| People mag reporter : "Are you seeing anyone?"
  Nick : "Yes, I'm seeing someone."
  People mag reporter : "For how long?"
  Nick : "Four years."  *squealsss* LOL 

Rating : 6/10 stars.

The Twelve Dates of Christmas
A cute cute cute book! Hahaha. 

Ok first things first. Personally, I didn't like the main character, Lexi very much. Why are you playing games girl? At first she decided that she and Cameron aka Cam will not survive a long distance relationship once she furthers her studies. So, she decided to set him up with someone else only to realize that she still loves him? Lexi is just lucky that Cameron knows her so well that he decides to go along with her plan. 

Those plans to get him back were funny and yeah, it gave me a good laugh. 

|| "The only thing my heart is set on is being with you. Whatever it takes, we'll work it out." - Cam, The Twelve Dates of Christmas

Rating : 6.5/10 stars.
