Usually I simply look at the cover of a novel then the title and jump into reading since I don't see much point in reading the synopsis but after I read the title, I had no idea what to expect so I was forced to read the synopsis. The premise of the novel seems good so I started reading it. Something you'll notice right away is the writing quality of the novel which is amazing. All that needs improvement is the depth of the characters which should come naturally as at the time I am writing this review, the novel is pretty new.

I'm glad you liked it. The depths of the character is a bit slow paced as I wanted to keep it a little witty and natural for a while. It should come along slowly, but surely.

Author here with a shameless 5 :DDD For those who have just started reading, the friendzoning is a little delayed. It should appear within the first 30 chapters though. Before the friendzoning, I wanted to give small backgrounds on everyone around the FL Haneul so it is easier to relate to her friendzoning later on. The ML Yeom Tae appears to be arrogant and aggressive, but is very very bubbly, soft, smooth and nice so prepare for the good romance part later on. It's slow romance though, so please sit tight hehe. Haneul's friends, Haru and Youngsoo have their own small arcs which I will be revealing in the later chapters. Some small fun facts: 1. Haru is based on myself. Yes, everything she says and does is entirely what I say and do :D. 2. Haru's cat Luna is based on a guest cat I had named Luna. I also have a friend named Luna who asked for a cameo so yes xD. I infused cat Luna and Human Luna. 3. Haneul's reason of being a Pediatrician has more depth to it, which will be explained later on. It's based on a real story from a friend :D What to expect: 1. Soft, slow romance. 2. Wholesome friendship. 3. Teeny Tiny action and drama. 4. Small betrayals o-o 5. Mafia + Doctor adventures. 6. Side characters' love life. What not to expect: 1. 18+ stuff. The rating should've made it clear by now :3 2. Too much serious stuff. This is a rom com. 3. Love Triangles. Overall, I hope you guys enjoy this story. It is very very different from my first two books since they give more of a heavy, sad, philosophical outlook. It's not my first time writing comedy focused novels but I'm still a little nervous because my humor sucks xD. Also, I'm not the best at writing romance so if you want the heart pumping, super intense and passionate romance then this book isn't for you. However, if you're looking for soft, wholesome, awkward, and bubbly romance, then this is defo for you :D While you're at it, go check out my other works too kek. Thank you all for reading and supporting!~ Love ya!

Rating 5 Chapters Read:12 of 12 as of 5/18/22 Plot: Excellent We haven't even gotten to friend zoning and already I can feel the depth of the characters. From Haneul's back story to motivations and her faults. Very clearly delivered. The ML' doesn't have much going for him but dude is smooth as butter. Interested to see how he reacts to the latest spin at the dinner past Chap 13. Story flow : Excellent Story is simple but not hard to follow, the scenes transitions like water and are both believable and not forced. The exposition is also done in light heaps to give focus on the elements in the current chapter. even her friends are introduced one by one. So you will never be lost. Favorite Chapter: Chapter 7 Chaos - Mr Bowel movements had me laughing out loud for a good minute. Favorite Character: Haru - girl is supportive as a sister, dear as a friend , hairdresser, nanny and driver all in one. if Haneul is the gloom she is the sunshine. 3 things I liked 1. Chapter 7 hands down. 2. Friendship of Haneul,Haru and Youngsoo 3. While reading I learned Koreans eat rice with a spoon, even with chopsticks on hand. 3 Things I didn't like 1. Haneul's mood swings, as a guy it is difficult for me to follow her trail of thought. 2. Haneul's reason for being a pediatrician - I don't know if I can call her a romanticist or an idiot 3. The entire deal with the hospital, while I get what it is as a plot device. it seems to invalidate everything Yeom Tae has done. its unfair to my boy. Overall Review: My Wife Friend zoned me because I am a Mafia is a novel that wonderfully blends a slow romance with light hearted comedy and plot exposition. each character feels like a true person and not just a cardboard trope cut out. Haru_Catty is particularly gifted in her vivid descriptions, one thing I wish to learn from. The writing quality is superb as I only found 2 typos across 2 chapters. The scenes transition without breaking immersion and feel wholly natural. the thing I like the most is the interactions of Haneul and Haru. Course every scene with Yeom Tae is so smooth even as a guy I need to punch a wall just to feel manly again. overall great work! I'm sure you would get contracted soon enough. Well done!

I've read the previous 2 books of the author and it's safe to say that this will be just as good. Don't miss out! The title of the book leaves you in a limbo and asks you to read it, so I read it. So far, I haven't found anything like the title, but that's because the characters are slowly progressing towards the climax. I'm honestly hyped and can't wait for the climax to show up. With the vast characters as such, I believe the climax will be amazing. Writing quality is top notch, the updates are stable, story seems a bit slow paced but we'll get there eventually, the characters need a bit more depth because we don't know a lot right now. It adds a hint of suspense too. The world background isn't shown a lot, but gradually it is being covered. Overall, a very soft read it is. Give it a try! You will surely like it.

I've been reading this novel ever since it dropped and it's safe to assume that it's one of my most favorite rom-coms. I've read the previous 2 books from the author as well. All the works are beautiful and this work has built a special place in my heart. I love the chemistry between Haneul, Haru and Youngsoo. They're a cute trio and their friendship is warm and cozy. It's like a safe place inside the chaotic comedy of the novel. Yeom Tae is the best boy ever. I love how thoughtful he is. He's smooth as butter and always manages to makes me want more of the novel. The novel is based in Korea and you can tell that a lot of research was put into it as it looks realistic and contemporary. I enjoy the descriptions and dialogues equally and it doesn't bore me at all. In conclusion, read the novel to find out the beauty of it. [img=recommend]

I have read the first two chapters and I think the writing is good, the story is also quite interesting. A romance story about the matchmaking of a rich man's child, I hope there will be a surprise later. I hope this story continues. Spirit!

The Villain's Wife

-COMPLETED- WARNING: FL is scheming and evil. Like almost every dramatic romance novel, Lily Qin’s story began with an evil stepmother, a scheming stepsister, and a dumb ex-fiance. At twenty, she fell prey to their grand scheme and became the laughingstock of the country. In despair, she left. Seven years later, Lily Qin rose from the ashes. She was labeled as an empress, an iron lady, a genius, and a prodigy. She was Miss Tycoon. Now, at twenty-seven, Lily Qin was an established businesswoman who was single-handedly controlling her multinational company abroad. She was beautiful, smart, and successful. Women envied her while men couldn’t help but worship her ethereal beauty. With her devastating past, everyone had assumed that Lily would exact revenge on the people who had wronged her. Who would have guessed that behind that beaming smile of hers was a numb heart that aimed only to make more profit? "You got it wrong." Lily elegantly propped her chin on the back of her hand. "I am seeing you today because we have something in common. We're both villains in somebody else's eyes. And I think it's time for us villains to get our own happy ending. Don't you think so?" --- Zhuo Jingren’s love for Lily Qin was something that only he knew. Ever since they were children, he had his eyes on her. Yet, every time he had tried to confess, he would end up fainting from nervousness. So when Lily Qin promised to marry him if he became richer than her, Zhou Jingren did not hesitate to leave the orphanage and work his way up just to become her man. Who would have thought that years later, when he was successful and feared by many, he would come back to an engaged Lily Qin? Then she mistook him for an escort after eating his tofu? Preposterous! The worst thing was, she seemed to have forgotten everything about him. Hadn’t she promised to marry him the moment he became more prominent than her family? Now, after taking advantage of him, she dared to run away? This woman was a liar! He gritted his teeth as he watched her approach him. He was about to say something mean when she suddenly spoke. “Are you my new bodyguard?” She did not even wait for him to answer before tossing her car keys at him. “Drive. Let’s go wreak some havoc.” Thus, the mafia’s big boss became Lily Qin’s bodyguard. --- "So? What do you want as a compensation?" Zhuo Jingren asked her once again before laying down next to her. His elbow was resting on the ground and his palm was supporting his head as he looked at her intently.  The first thing that Lily noticed about Zhuo Jingren when he laid next to her was his exposed tanned chest. This made him look more casual… and hot. She didn't even realize she was staring at the latter. "Why are you staring at me like that?" He smirked at her. "Do you want me to compensate you with my body?" Lily immediately rolled her eyes at the latter. "Who wants your body? Hmp! I want money!" "Your mind is always thinking of money but your body actually betrays you. Am I right to say that I have a shameless wife?" "Hah! I am a strong and independent woman of the 21st century. I know what I want. But if you insist on giving your body, I will take it too!" Lily shamelessly said, taking off her stilettos. However, just when Lily was about to lie down beside Zhuo Jingren, he suddenly pulled her on top of him. With her body on top of his, their faces were really close and they could even feel each other's breath.  "What a shameless woman," he noted, the smile on his face only deepened. .... Cover is mine.

Unexpected Romance: Love $ Hustle

Twenty-eight year old Delilah Sterling, has perfected the art of being a respectable realtor by day, and a professional gold digger by night. Delilah believes she has her double life under control. Her meticulously crafted life crumbles when she wakes up one morning with a wedding band on her finger, a marriage certificate on the table, and a sinfully gorgeous man claiming to be her husband. To make matters worse, he is broke and jobless, making her feel trapped in a surreal nightmare. Desperate for escape, Delilah demands a divorce, but the stranger—insisting he wants to stay married—thwarts every attempt. Frustration and confusion mount until Delilah hatches a new plan: she proposes they team up to con her next target, the elusive billionaire, Hunter Quinn. What Delilah doesn't realize is that her "broke husband" is actually Hunter Quinn himself. Billionaire CEO, Hunter Quinn, having discovered Delilah’s intentions to con him, had decided to outplay her at her own game. Hunter agrees to the partnership, and together they plunge into a high-stakes game of deceit. As they plot and scheme, the lines between pretense and reality blur. Their forced proximity ignites an unexpected chemistry, leading to moments of vulnerability and genuine connection neither anticipated. Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)
