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.

It should be buried and should never see the light of day. Iyon ang palaging utos ng kaniyang boyfriend. Kapalit ng lahat ng naitulong nito sa kaniya simula nang mawala ang kaniyang mga magulang.

I Still Say Goodnight by 4rtemispt

Nokoa Villamor never expected a simple coffee mix-up in Paris to change his life. But in that moment, he met Kierston Levesque-the one person who would turn his summer into something unforgettable. Back in the Philippines, fate reunites them, and what started as a fleeting encounter blossoms into a love that feels infinite. They dream of forever, of stolen kisses beneath the city lights, of a future where their hearts beat as one. But fate is cruel. One moment can change everything. One heartbeat can be the last. And when Nokoa wakes up to a world that feels just a little too quiet, a little too cold, he holds on-refusing to let go, refusing to forget. Because love never truly dies. Right? A story of love, loss, and the thin line between memories and reality- I Still Say Goodnight will make you question how much of the past we carry with us... and what happens when we refuse to say goodbye.

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.

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

Kalopsia Series #1 A good friend told me about the story of the moon that has been captured by the Earth. That is why the moon rotates around the Earth. I was like the moon that was captured by him, who seductively rotated around to complete him while being obscured by clouds. *** First Lieutenant Seline Happuch is known for her exceptional military career, a woman whose every move is calculated, whose reputation is spotless. 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. In a moment of vulnerability, she gave him everything-her heart, her trust, and her innocence. But after a night that changed everything, Phil disappeared without a word, leaving Seline with more than just the memories of their brief love-she was left pregnant and abandoned. 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? book cover by Canva God Bless Us!
