Set in a flower shop in Manhattan, New York City, Snooki takes aim in finally seeking for thrills in a new place that she couldn't find in Manila. Something she thought would quicken her heartbeat, apart from her caffeine intake.

One blooming day, she found an archer with a bow and glittering arrows that aimed at her heart. And in just a wink, he hit bullseye.

While Snooki was in a trance brought upon by the arrows, she was also pursuing the love of her senile flower boss and her old love interest. The said love interest was, get this, the uncle of her very own eye-candy! How frickin' cool fate was for it to devise their lives like that? She thought, it was like a double love, double fun!

Ngunit sa gitna ng kawalan ng pag-asa ni resident blooming girl, Snooki, sa kanyang sariling love-life ay hindi pa rin niya sinukuan ang paborito niyang golden would-be should-be lovers.

As she felt her own love's fate immobility, she was already leaning to just settle and be the independently happy gal that she always was. Yet what she didn't know was that, from the very beginning, she was already glittering in the eyes of her archer.

In the heart of the overcrowded Manhattan, there she was, someone whom he only saw. It was only up to him to pluck up the courage (which he totally didn't have, by the way!) and poetically tell her how he felt.

Or else, they would not happen. Or else, New York would suck. Or not. We'll see.

Kung Saan Ako Payapa by musedelenn

(Luha at Liham Series #1) People have different preferences---like with seasons. Some prefer spring, when flowers bloom, when everything feels light and easy as we watch petals glisten under sunlight while walking down streets lined with gardens. Some prefer autumn, when fallen leaves blanket the ground still damp from the rain. Some prefer summer, where the scent of sea salt feels nostalgic, where sunsets remind us of those late afternoons spent on the nearest beach, watching how the sun kisses the water and the clouds shift their colors. And some prefer winter, where snowflakes drift from the sky, where people bundle up in thick clothes before stepping out into the cold breeze. For Annika, she couldn't choose which season she liked best. Galing na siya doon, paulit-ulit na. Mabigat na ang buhat niya sa likod na mga alaala mula sa nagdaang pagbago ng mga panahon at ihip ng hangin... Kaya siguro hindi na siya makapili. But if there was one thing she was certain of---it was that her soul was buried in nostalgia. Her heart was showered with both flowers and snowflakes, and her mind wandered through all the memories... back to where it all began. Back when she started to notice Julian, that everything turned upside down. What began as annoyance turned into a crush, then blossomed into love. And that love somehow grew---deeper, fiercer, until it became too much, slowly tearing them apart like a crumbling tower. Para sa pusong naguguluhan, para sa mga lubid na bumubuhol sa kanyang isipan---gumugulo at sadyang nakalilito, ay ang mga tanong. Saan siya pupunta, kung ang minsang kapayapaan na hatid ng pag-ibig na alam niya ay unti-unti nang nawawala? Hindi na tahimik, maingay na. Nananakit na, humahapdi, naninira. Saan siya tatakbo? Kung kahit saan siya lumingon---sa kanan man o kaliwa, hindi na payapa.

Moonlight Obscured by Clouds (Kalopsia Series #1) by Im_Vena

Yet, beneath her hardened exterior, she remains a woman fragmented by a past she has never fully healed from. Years ago, during senior high school, Seline chased after Phil, her first love.

Now, a decade later, fate brings Phil back into her life through a contract that forces them into close quarters. With no strings attached, they are bound by professional duty, but the past still lingers in the air like an unspoken promise. Can Seline resist the man who shattered her heart? Or will the man who once disappeared without a trace become the one who helps her heal the wounds he left behind? Under the moonlight, where shadows of the past still linger, will Seline finally find peace, or will the clouds of her memories forever obscure her future? Language: Tagalog God Bless Us!

You'll Be Safe Here (Romance-Action) by JMFelic

Her breath hitched when she saw him pull out a strip of cloth from his jean's pocket. It was black. It was ominous. It meant only one thing and that was to blindfold her. Quickly, she shook her head. 'No... you can't do this!' Nic gave out no reaction as he continued his way to her. She attempted to bolt away from him, but he only captured her elbow in a vice-like grip. 'Don't struggle or you will only hurt yourself more,' he stated when he lifted the strip near her face. Tears spilled from her eyes this time and no matter how much she willed herself to be strong, she pleaded, 'Please, don't do this.' 'I have no other choice,' was his quick reply. ~ YBSH ~ Cielle, after stopping by at her favorite fast-food chain, Jollibee, never expected that her road trip would take a turn for the worse - her chicken joy buckets eaten by salivating mouths, her SUV carnapped and her safety threading in a thin line. Thrown in between a helplessness of a boy and the sinister plans of criminals who had captured her, hope and salvation is yet to be seen. But what if... just what if her heart itself became the traitor in the midst of all the drama? Like falling and aching for a certain mysterious man she is supposed to hate? What will she do? ~ YBSH ~ Yes, as you can see in the book cover, I made this story solely for the purpose of joining Jollibee's #OnceuponaJollibee and #JollibeeRomance TheWattysPH awards. All of the Jollibee concepts are found here, but once you read it, it is not just that. My magical touch of plot twist and turns are there and you will enjoy it. If successful, I will turn this book into a much longer novel with all the well-known JMFELIC sexy scenes and everything in between. hehehe ^_~' For now, I will settle on the five-chapter short-story.

Cliche (Candy Stories #5) by TheCatWhoDoesntMeow

Growing up insecure, Aurora firmly believes she does not suit someone as perfect as Maxwell. But with him continuing to love her despite her insecurities and fears, will Aurora finally choose to let Maxwell in--or will she keep pushing him away even if it breaks her heart? *** Every love is unique. Every heartbreak is cliche. When I was young, I met a prince who told me I'm beautiful. Sabi niya, paglaki namin, liligawan niya 'ko. We grew up, but unfortunately, I had a reverse story of the ugly duckling. The prince continued to be a prince, while I became the unpretty duck that wouldn't become swan. Bumuhaghag ang buhok ko. Umitim ako. Natadtad ng taghiyawat. Sasabihin siguro ng iba, okay lang pumangit paglaki. Beauty is something that should shine from within. But that's not completely true. Kahit ga'no kaganda ang kalooban, laging huhusgahan ang hitsura. People judge with the eyes first-always. I learned that everyone desires to be interesting, but not different. There is a standard and everyone wants the same thing-beauty, recognition, intellect. I only wanted one thing-to stop dreaming for the prince. But he's Maxwell. When he's in my life, he pulls me into his magnetic field no matter how much I resist. When he's out of my sight, I miss him. Nagkaatraso ako sa kanya no'ng college. As fate would have it, we are going to see each other. Again.
