Review

This story is really really really good, well, my raging 5-star rating sure is the evidence eh? I really don’t know how to make this review without squealing. I’ve finished reading this story just last night, or should I say, early this morning, so I’m still having a hangover. I really can’t get over and it’s making me look crazy because I keep on smiling, squealing, and daydreaming, good thing my mom isn’t here yet to witness me losing my mind haha.

The story started when Entice came back to Alegria after spending almost 10 years abroad. She’s 18 and an only child that’s why her family are so overprotective of her. Since her cousin Hector is getting married, the family was so busy preparing, and Entice being Entice, didn’t want to wait another day at their mansion doing nothing, so she decided to escape. And then she reached Tinago falls and had a dip. After some few minutes, she was greeted with this oh-so-handsome heat-inducing man to fetch her, his name is Knoxx. And that’s the beginning of Entice’s admiration of him.

I love how their relationship progresses (which was actually kinda into hate-romance thing)and I just can’t contain myself whenever I read some “kilig” worthy lines from Knoxx. Here’s some of my favorites:

“Skype when I get home. I’ll show you how alone I am in my house.” (Ikaw Knoxx ha, double meaning!)

Here’s another one:

“Don’t . Make. Me. Jealous”. Dang! I won’t for sure Knoxx haha lol.

Honestly, I was really not that impressed with the first three pages of this story, I don’t know but I can’t read any jonaxx from them, or maybe I’m just adjusting? It’s been like two months since I’ve last read from her so I guess that’s the reason behind it. But thankfully, I was able to be in pace when I read some familiar names from this story. I remember Knoxx from Until Trilogy so it was really nice to know that Jonaxx utilizes her characters. Remember how I love to be one of the Montefalco cousins? Haha.

All the scenes and conflicts hold up, and no confusions or questions or any questionable scenes at all. The antagonists (yeah, you read it right, there’s not just one antagonist here) really surprises me. I thought I knew what’s going to happen, but Jonaxx being Jonaxx, proved to me again how unpredictable her stories are. I know I told you about my annoyance on b*tch third party, but surprisingly, I wasn’t that angry to the extent that I want to get inside this story and kill that b*tch myself. Both the antagonists did their job but surprisingly I can sympathize with them too. Also, I just love how Jonaxx is making her story so great that you’ll believe there’s still things in this world that are perfect, and obviously, this story is one of them. Though, I think that the ending is quite lacking. I still want to read Entice and Knoxx getting married and Entice getting along with the Montefalco cousins. But the appearance of the Montefalco cousins remedied that, haha, I’m really such a sucker lol.

I don’t have any problems with the characters. Both of the main characters are so realistic that it’s so easy for me to picture them out and relate to them. Though, sometimes, I feel like I’m being harassed (in a nice way) when Knoxx is licking his lips while his face is so near to Entice. Haha, I really can’t help myself and keep picturing him doing that in my mind. The number of characters are kinda long but surprisingly, it didn’t make me feel overwhelmed. Probably because most of them are familiar to me including Hector, Chesca and the Montefalcos. The characters are also well introduced and this story didn’t let me skip some lines because I felt that if I do that, I’ll be missing something out. And btw, the main female character’s name is really unique and I just think it really suits her. I mean, she’s undeniably ENTICING that’s why Knoxx fell in love with her eh? hahaha.

This story was being told using Entice’s point of view but I really love that the epilogue was taken from Knoxx’s. So it was really clear to me how he really felt with Entice and how it all started. All supposed questions that could arise were answered too and I just love it.

Btw, this story has some SPG scenes too 😉

I can’t convince you enough how much I love this story, so I guess you’ll just read it for yourself eh? Please come back and let’s fangirl together 🙂
