I initially had some expectation as this is the first novel I’m reading which focuses on the “second woman”, but I’ve been severely disappointed. The title and synopsis may as well be rewritten at this point because the plot seems to be going in the complete opposite direction. Only the initial 50 chapters correlate with the title and synopsis. After that, it’s like the story has diverged into the budding romance of Valentina and Jason. This is turning out to be no different from any other romantic novel where the girl is cheated on and her lover marries another while she having been heartbroken finds a man who loves her, etc. The supposed ML lacks any sort of backbone and and was forced into a marriage where he’s simply being used as a puppet and has no real control over his life. The FL who claims to be deeply love the ML and will get him back at all cost has within the span of a week already moved on and looking to start a relationship with another while stating that she wouldn’t go back to the “ML”. So in what way is this any different from the vast majority of romance novels on this site? Don’t get me wrong, this type of development is perfectly fine and enjoyable to me, but I just feel like I’ve been scammed of the original reason as to why I started reading this in the first place. The factor that hooked me in was taken away from the equation, so my interest has waned.

Hii... Well, I will tell you to just have a little patience. Because it just starting and has 80+ chapters. I planned on taking this novel to around 500 chapters. So, you can expect that Valentina is giving a chance to Jason. As for the title and Synopsis says, this novel is about a "second woman" you just need to give time to settle everything between everyone. Cuz, everything will not happen in just a day Can It? lives take turns into different ways. But it's totally fine if you are dropping reading this novel. Thank you for reading until now. 😇

It’s not even about patience. We’re nearly 100 chapters in which generally gives readers a fair amount of time and content to make their own opinions and see the direction in which the story will go. At least that’s how I go about things when making a decision to read further. I understand the saying that things don’t just happen in a day, but in the story how much time has passed in which the “ML” cheated on the MC and got married and the MC saying she’d have him at all cost to she now havIng moved on and giving up on the love she’s had for so many years? A week or two at most? I’m still fairly interested in the outcome of who’ll end up with who, so I’ll check up every now and then, but as of now the current development is disappointing in relation to what I thought this novel was supposed to be about and what the title pertains to.

hello...do you know any stories that are just happy shit? for curiosity sake I ask, cause every story in this site has the plot of what you described. There no originality in them. Sad chick gets fixed by either sad ML or a normal ML, is their plot. if u know any stories where the FL/ML isnt a sad/betrayed/broken person or the ML isnt some awkward/horney/edgy, etc shit. could u tell?

Two particular ones that stand out to me are “I Deserve a Second Chance” and Loving You Too Much”. I especially love the first novel I named as it’s more of a slice of life and none of the cliche in which I’ve mentioned before. Neither is it the usual revenge story. The love in that story is so beautiful. While the second is not as unique as the first has a just as a beautiful love, but there’s a bit of drama and scheming involved though not overwhelming so. Anyhow, for the most part both are great feel good reads which align with what you asked me. Do give them a go.

I totally agree with you. It just that she feels so betrayed by the love of her life. He surely told her that he is going on a honeymoon with his wife and still the FL trusted him and let him go but she didn't expect the outcome that he will reveal about his marriage. Well, Not even Xavier knows that in the first place. Because all these revealing things were done by George and Edward. The things aren't settled between anyone. it will only settle when Xavier again comes in front of Valentina. I know that Valentina promised herself that she will never let him go... But, we still don't know how stories turnout... Just need to wait for a little while until Valentina figures her feelings out again.

Sorry but I think... You have got there wrong... The MC's love each other in this novel... But the FL will get to know that her one of the other best friend has feelings for her.

To Love You Again is very action pack (in a way where there is a lot of scheming but it’s not for the couple romance ? Like it is a legit war between the ML n FL and the villlain but the villain doesnt really care about their romance cuz the guy just wants to kill them all etc etc) so maybe you’ll like it?

Tbh, this is my first time writing a review for a contemporary romance novel. I haven't read many so there might be mistakes in my judgment. I started this novel not expecting much, but as I read till mid-way, I put all the thoughts behind my back and decided to stop it. Bcz, this novel doesn't suit my taste. Xavier, the ML, isn't that interesting of a character. He just accepts to marry some random woman his father choses. He isn't a nine-year-old kid that can't think for himself, right? He had Valentina who was his lover since high school or it says. Their bond isn't something that can't be easily broken by a third wheeler. Tears start streaming down his face for who knows how many times. Each line I read makes it more awkward and awkward. It would be better if the author uses other words to describe his pain. Reading the same lines doesn't help but irritate for someone like me. Letting these all slide, what surprised me the most is the wedding night which goes smoothly. Really smooth. I was taking time, keenly going through those lines expecting him to reject or something along those lines, but it still didn't happen to lead to disappointment. And the next day he goes to Valentina's office, telling her to break their relationship. I could go on and on explaining many things. But I'm really sleepy and most of it, tired now. In short, I appreciate the author for writing this novel. Don't take it to heart whatever I said. I just want to advise you to make it interesting for a fellow reader such as I, to read. It would be better if you increase the chapter length because everything I read could be sum into 200 words. Write something which makes the readers react and feel the emotions coursing through the characters. Not just plain one. I couldnt' give more stars and this is the maximum I could. Author, if you reply, type in lesser words bcz I can't read and understand quickly. Try to sum it up in 100 words if possible. That if, you reply. Author name is the same of a popular actress I know. I admire her a lot. Good luck!

Husband With Benefits

Nora is shattered a month before her wedding when she uncovers her fiancé's deceitful affair. As she manages this betrayal, she discovers a deep ploy to hinder her from claiming her rightful inheritance. Devastated but determined, Nora takes a daring step to regain control of her life. Enter Demetri 'The Demon' to those who know him, a formidable man barely known to her, who offers her protection and support in return for a contract marriage to satisfy him. In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel. Excerpt: She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him. Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning? Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."

His Naughty Lessons

[ Caution: High Heat Advisory ] “Harper, stop undressing me with your eyes. The plot isn’t going that way… YET.” Harper McKenzie, a newbie web novel author, has a problem — she struggles with romance scenes. As someone with almost nonexistent real-life experience in the matter, she can’t get the intimate chemistry right, and those chapters always come out dry and cringy. Fortunately for her, Harper finds a freelance editor willing to workshop her writing. But the surprise? That editor turns out to be her childhood friend and the very first crush of her life. What happens now when he offers her personal lessons on how to write the hottest romance … and love scenes? -------------- Note: this is a fun, cozy, sweet story with a low-drama plot. No love triangles, no misunderstandings, no memory loss / car accidents / terminal illnesses / etc.. Mature content abounds, starting out soft but heats up quickly. You’ve been warned! -------------- Sneak Peek: He slid her bra over her shoulders and, with impossibly quick and skilled work, tied the lacy garment around her wrists. “Spread your legs wider,” he ordered. Harper’s already faltering heartbeat faltered some more. The command in his tone was foreign, but it crashed over her like a heat wave, and even though she could barely begin to picture how salacious she must look, with her hands bound and thighs spread wide like an offering to be ravished, she could feel the scorching need coiling hotter and hotter in her core. Her body obeyed eagerly on its own accord, bringing herself fully open just like she was told. Eli grinned. Moving between her legs, he trailed hot kisses along her inner thigh, leaving sizzling little fires crackling in its wake. “Good girl. Now, what should your character say next?” A finger glided over her wet and wanting flesh in a slippery stroke, making her heart slam to a hard stop as a moan tore free. “Write the next line for me, what should I say before I unravel you with my tongue and make you scream my name?”

Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

Yue Xuexia is just an ordinary salted fish that rarely lives in her house, but suddenly one day she woke up, received a sign-in system, and thought she was dreaming. The sign-in system rewarded her with multiple things, including houses, money, cars, and talent scrolls, which led her to the life of the richest lady in the world. She could sign in once a day. One morning, with her eyes groggily and blurry, Xuexia was welcomed by a holographic screen only she could see. Yes, like the ones in the novels and manga. Ding! Xuexia waves her hand in the empty air and mumbles, "Noisy, I told you to turn off the damn alarm, whoever owns it!" When a robotic voice lingered near her ears saying, Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host, and you've received [1 Million RMB in cash!] Xuexia, who is currently in need of great money, was in disbelief as she looked at the words one million and laughed. "Heh~ even in my dream, I was wishing to receive free money. What nonsense, let's go back to sleep. Yue Xuexia was about to close her eyes back to sleep when the old touch screen phone near her pillow vibrates. Bzzt~ Bzzzzzt~ "Urg~ who the hell is calling now?" complained Yue Xuexia in her half-asleep state. She picked up the phone only to see a message notification saying the following words: [Your bank card account ending with 5567 had received a deposit transfer from XXXX at 6:45 am. You had received a 1 million deposit and your current saving balance is 1,003,000.00 RMB (Autumn Field landbank)] Yue Xuaxia mumbled in disbelief and said, "Fucking hell! This is awesome." Who doesn’t like free things?~' This lady wants it too!!!
