soon when i get you, i won’t let you go

Natural Born Charmer proved to be another incredible book.

I'm not gonna write out the synopsis or summary because every little detail is so darned important, I'd just end up vomiting out the whole content of the book.

But Dean Robillard's just not my kind of guy. Even though, he's hot and charming and witty, he's just not the kind of wit I dig. Blue Bailey is sweet. We need more of her kind out there, um, except the whole toughness hiding softness inside. If every woman could stick up for herself like Blue, we'd have one hell of a female population out there. Not happening anytime soon, seeing the way that girls nowadays collapse at the very sight of a male model in a jeans ad. Scratch out the model part. KOREAN MALE ACTORS sounds more appropriate Gag me, please.

The whole crumbled family thing for Blue and Dean really touched me. Sounds similar though. *COUGH*

Let me just summarize the characters in as few words as possible.

Blue Bailey - My kind of heroine. Smart mouthed. An artist who has a thing for gypsy caravans. A good cook. A vagabond in some ways. Pure at heart. Beneath all the muscle shirts and black biker boots, she's just a softie who's putting up a shield to protect herself from hurting after being ditched by the people she learned to love. Her dad died before she was born and her mom, Virginia Bailey, is some kind of a peace activist, going round the world to protest for human rights and such. Her mom even empties out Blue's bank account to save some kidnapped girls. Bottoms up, I guess. Blue is a petite thirty year old who arrived in Colorado to help Monty, her boyfriend of some sort, only to find that he's fallen for Sally, a nineteen year old girl. That's where everything takes off..

Dean Robillard - Football star, underwear model, super gorgeous guy. What more could you ask for? But Blue's not interested, not at first, that is. Dean has had a deprived childhood. Deprived as in his mom, April, is a groupie(?!) and often came home drunk and totally wasted. She lied to him and told him that his dad is Bruce Springsteen when in reality, rockstar Jack Patriot is his biological dad. Dean hates his mom for leaving him a broken childhood and everything. And he hates Jack for not being there, I guess. I could understand that. :] Dean is recovering from a sports injury and on his way to his newly-bought farm in East Tennessee, he almost runs Blue down. That's where the party and ruckus starts..

April Robillard - Dean's mom. Real hardcore party girl in her younger days. Rid of her bad addictions after she realized her mistakes. She doesn't hope for her son's forgiveness after everything that she'd done to him. Clearly, she still loves Jack but she doesn't want to dive into another relationship with him. She pretends to be Susan O'Hara and manages to get the position of a mysterious housekeeper for Dean (who doesn't know until later on that Susan is, in fact, his mom. She fixes up his farm for him and nearly gets kicked out when he arrives, only to find out that his mom is Susan.

Jack Patriot - Rockstar. Dean's dad. Doesn't give a dang about his daughter, Riley, that he had with his late wife, Marli. Later on, he acknowledges his mistakes and tries to make up for the wrong that he's done to Dean, Riley and April.

Riley Patriot - Jack's eleven year old daughter. Dean's half sister. She runs from her place two weeks after her mom's death to look for her half brother, Dean. She finds him. He doesn't know how to acknowledge her as his half sister. *soundfamiliarinanywaytoanybody?* She tries desperately to make Dean accept her and he does, finally. She takes after her dad and has an amazing voice. She takes a liking towards April, Blue and the old geezer of a woman, Nita Garrison.

Nita Garrison - Woman who owns the next town. Troublemaker old lady. She's bitter and mean and everything bad. But she warms up a little to Blue after she makes a deal with her and demands that Blue sketch her dog's portrait. In the end, she's not as bad as she may seem.

Conclusion: Boy meets girl. Girl not interested. Boy not interested. Boy falls for girl. Girl falls for boy. Boy and girl refuse to acknowledge inner feelings. And blah-dee-blah, you know the ending I like.

The happily ever after? Realistic.

I love how Blue and Dean go at each other with their smart mouths. Had me LOL-ing, even cheez noticed.

My review is copyrighted and original. No copying. X(

Seriously, what I think of this book? It should be made into a movie. I already directed my own movie while reading. (: On second thought, no more Twilight-like movies spoiling my fantasy and private movie. BLEURGH. Bah. Disgusting.

Dang. 800 words already. If given a little more time and thought, I'd write a more detailed description but that's not what I wanted anyway, right? Besides, my music is distracting some bits of my mind and focusing on the task at hand is tricky what with Taylor Swift going "When we said forever and always, ohhhhhh." behind.

Hmm..

I'm starting to wonder what book I should read next.

Since Cheez is almost beating me to finishing Inkheart, I should probably pick up from where I left off. I miss Dustfinger now that Cheez has mentioned him. (:

On the other hand.. 21 sounds like a book I'd love to read. Watched the movie, now time to dive into the words.

Listening to: Sara Bareilles - Between The Lines. A true heartbreak song if I ever heard one.

Listening to: Lifehouse - Who We Are. Hey, who knew? I'm warming up to Lifehouse songs.

Listening to: Backstreet Boys - Inconsolable. This song? It never gets old.

The whole sarcasm thing.

Nope, dope, pope, doesn't work with me. (:

I throw curveballs as good as anyone out there.

People should let go of their bitter feelings and embrace their lives with some meaning. It's stupid to fantasize about things. Things like getting married to Korean actors or becoming Taylor Swift's best friend. Or.. I don't know. You tell me.

As said before. Life is simple, made complicated by people and their feelings. Their uncontrolled emotions lead to their actions which somehow lead to destruction, anger, violence and pain.

Can we just move past that I'm-living-with-the-woodland-fairies stage?

Fantasies and dreams are very, very different from the won't-know-it-till-it-slaps-you-in-the-face reality of life.

I might be so full of myself but I love long posts. They make me feel accomplished in a stupid, childish kind of way.

Guess what I did yesterday while reading??? I plugged my headphones into my laptop and listened to this.

In every way, it still makes me smile as if it was my first time watching it.

Sebbyyy.. <3

Daviiiid ! (:

Sigh.

Oh well !
