Satoh Tomiichi is a busy man. As the successor of his father's multimillion-pound company, he has neither the luxury nor leisure for love - and certainly not the distractions that come from it. But when a crucial project requires him to provide more than just facts and figures, Tomiichi is forced to rethink his strategy, and fast.To secure the lucrative deal, Tomiichi must impress Niraj Chabra, chairman of the luxury resort company OneRoyale. But Niraj is a traditional family man, and Tomiichi is a bachelor of a certain reputation. To succeed, Tomiichi seeks the help of an acquaintance, Ms. Jasmine Knight. The proposal is simple: Tomiichi and Jasmine shall pose as a happy couple until the deal is secured.Except there's one tiny problem. Jasmine has a roommate. A roommate that is unlike any woman Tomiichi has ever seen. She is opinionated, loud, and thoroughly unafraid of polite society. And when she offers to teach Jasmine and Tomiichi how to fake being in love, Tomiichi has the feeling that soon, he may just be falling for real ...…

A high school locker. A ladder. A Christmas tree. Six bowling pins stacked back to back.Geum Jaesan is taller than all of these things.190 cm boy? Good.190 cm girl? Awkward, abnormal; often mortifying with regular breaks for ill-fitting clothes and general lack of male interest. ━━Hedonistic fun. General apathy. A tall girl obsessed with volleyball.Hak Tae-geun is interested in all of these things.Born on the same date of the same year, Tae-geun and Jaesan have been friends since forever. That is if "friends" mean one side constantly ignoring the other ... while the other thinks love is sticking gum in someone's hair.

• WATTYS 2022 WINNER •When Iris Monet married millionaire Jared Darling, she had only one rule - that he could cheat on her with anyone except the household staff. This arrangement of theirs would have gone on quite happily if she hadn't caught him on the snooker table with their maid, and on their wedding anniversary night no less. Humiliated and more than a little drunk, Iris storms out of the house vowing never to return unless it's for a well-compensated divorce. But as the train trundles out of the city, she slowly calms down and quickly realizes that there's a problem. A big problem.Because the only thing Iris has ever done in her life is being a trophy wife. The prospect of unfunded singlehood on the cusp of her thirties is a horrifying nightmare she's unprepared to deal with. So naturally, when she lays eyes on who she thinks is the richest bachelor in Ryefair, Iris is more than ready to put her claws into him.Except, Satoh Akai isn't the richest bachelor in Ryefair - not by a long shot. And as someone who speaks better with animals than people, romance is the furthest thing from his mind.When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, anything is possible but one thing is certain - worlds will collide and hearts will burn.✒ 17th November 2021 (start)✒ 27th July 2022 (end)…

*PERMANENTLY CLOSED. PLEASE DO NOT APPLY :)* So you want me to read your book. Deal. Loki-dokey. No problemo. But here's a few things you need to know first. 1. I will be doing a review on it in this book. And I will be blunt. If you're looking for honeyed words you're not going to find it here. If I like it I'll tell you and if I don't I'll tell you too. 2. I don't do vote for vote and follow for follow. If I vote for your book it's because I love it so much I probably added it to my library and am banging my head at my laptop waiting for updates. If I follow you it means the only thing stopping me from rushing up to you and screaming "I LOVE YOU AND YOUR STORIES SO MUCH ABSKDHSJFGHKLSW" is social etiquette and the fact that I have no idea who you really are. 3. Obviously my reviews are based on my preferences and obviously there will be people disagreeing with my opinions. And obviously a book I hate might be another person's fave - one man's meat is another man's poison and all that. And obviously the converse might be true. Obviously these things are obvious. But still I have to state these obvious things because some oblivious people don't get it. So come along then. Lemme read your books.~amazing book cover by fictophilic~…
