The Best Christmas Ever...!

This came out as a bit of a surprise but I feel so honored nonetheless. To have author Molly Ringle sent me an email and asked if I'd be interested to review her book was like opening a Christmas present on Christmas morning. I was very, very excited and said 'YES!'. Yes, why not? I loved her book once and am sure that I will  love this book her editor is sending me. One might wonder why I accepted her book since I have decided to stop receiving review request for a while now. Well, the whole story goes like this: 

A fellow book blogger and one of my followers, Fred, recommended Relatively Honest to me after reading my muse and review of Molly Ringle's What Scotland Taught Me. He thought I would love the book as well. Since Molly's books aren't sold in my country, I said to myself, 'hmm... maybe I could find a giveaway contest of that book or buy it online." Day two of my would-be Twitter madness, I decided to look for Molly and then follow her, and the idea of searching for a giveaway contest of her book or buying it online dissipated in thin air for a few days because my mind was entirely occupied by my new Twitter until...I stumbled upon her tweet about an ongoing giveaway on YA Sisterhood blog. The catch was her book, Relatively Honest. Bingo! I grabbed the chance and entered the contest, of course without ever considering about my probably slim chance of winning the one ecopy of her book. And so I waited and waited until the contest ends to see if I had won the book or not. But then, one afternoon, when I logged on to my email I saw an email from Molly and my heart skipped a bit as I had initially thought that I have won the contest. Instead, she offered me a review of copy of her book after seeing my comment on the contest. I was flattered all over and accepted her book without further thinking. The next day, her editor from ireadiwrite Publishing sent me an epub copy. That's how I got Relatively Honest.  

That's the cover....here's the blurb:

Eighteen year-old womanizer Daniel Revelstoke leaves his native London to study at the University of Oregon, dreaming of seducing one American girl after another. But he soon meets a new kind of woman in classmate Julie French. Her cleverness and resistance land Daniel in love for the first time in his life, to his deep confusion. 

However, Julie's long-distance boyfriend and a bizarre family secret stand in Daniel's way to winning her. Since he can't quit obsessing over her, he decides to hide a few truths in order to draw closer to her, hoping that maybe she'll return his love and, when she finds out his devious path, forgive him. It's a gamble, but all's fair in love and college.

Sounds interesting? Trust me, you'll love Molly too. Just see the ratings of all of her books. Indeed, this is my best Christmas ever!
