"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.

Clash Of Cultures by Malikadoc

#1 in the desi medical romance series Her lips were inches from mine and her sweet scent filled the air between us, intoxicating me. I slid my hand down her bare arm, reveling in the way her smooth, soft skin made mine tingle. We were alone in the hallway outside the ballroom and all I could think of was pushing her against the wall and crashing my lips on to hers. She had to have felt something, because she stood still in front of me, breathless, her eyes locked on to mine only to break away and wander down to my lips. =============== She was a young woman from a conservative culture trying to adjust to her new life in the West. He thought he had left that culture behind, being born and raised in the US. The tribulations of medical training bought them together. Their stubbornness and prejudice kept them apart. Join them as they travel on a journey of self-discovery and challenge themselves as much as they challenge each other. This is a medical drama and a romance story rolled in to one. It highlights the professional and personal issues an immigrant physician faces in the US, as she navigates her new work life, while finding love in the most unexpected of places. *Loosely inspired by real life events* **Patients mentioned in this story are purely fictional characters** ***This story contains some heavy themes like loss of life, mental health problems and drug abuse*** Highest ratings: #1 in desi (Sept 2022) #1 in medicalromance (June 2022, April 2024) #1 in immigration (Jan 2022) #1 in physician (Oct 2023) #2 in pediatric (Jan 2022) #6 in Muslim (Oct 2023) #6 in goodgirlbadboy (Dec 2021) #6 in culture (Jan 2023) #10 in doctor (March 2022) #12 in selfdiscovery (Jan 2022) #18 in medicine (March 2022)

Pessimist by v1carious

[01/07/2021] - [13/04/2023] "You can't keep going around like a fucking maniac and treating me like shit. That isn't how relationships work," Sophia's voice was havoc as she verbalized her emotions. "That isn't how we work..." Tired, vulnerable and agitated at not only him, but herself. How could she let herself get this far, in such little time? He looked down, ashamed, not wanting to respond. His heart felt like it was beating faster than it should've. "I forgot how it felt to love you." As soon as those words were uttered from Sophia's lips, his world broke apart. Gone, in just a matter of seconds. - - - When Sophia Adam moves to a new town, she wishes nothing more than a boring, new life, to separate herself from her past. Moving meant completing university and getting a clerkship with a judge. Moving meant making refreshing new friends, and meeting a mysterious guy that seems hell-bent on getting to know her. To Sophia, moving to a new town was everything she imagined and more. She just didn't expect her past to follow.

Reviews of Asian BL Series by DominicKebre

This is a collection of reviews of BL-series and movies from Thailand, South Korea, the Philippines, Myanmar, Singapore, Japan, Cambodia, and Vietnam, some of which I have already published on mydramalist.com. The series I am reviewing here are not necessarily the most popular ones. Series like "1000 Stars", "I told Sunset About You" etc have been reviewed again and again by many people, so I don't want to write the 100th review about them. These are some of my favourite series (and a few of my least favourite ones), with some of my favourite actors, and of course my selection as well as my reviews are in no way objective.
