Hi! I'm Marian Tee, and I'm wondering if anyone here would like to review one of my books - it will be relaunched this month with a new manga-ish cover.

The Blurb:
Senior student Katerina "KC" Chariot is a good girl with a secret. She's so nice she has an impossible time swearing unless she's using pretty British cuss words. She also likes to fantasize about hot guys in her school. But it's for work. Really. Katerina is an aspiring mangaka, and she needs "inspiration" for drawing smutty scenes.
Unfortunately, one particular fantasy about the Japanese-Russian transfer student Yuki Himura gets the better of her. She ends up unconsciously moaning his name - in Yuki's presence, too. In a twist of fate, Katerina finds herself agreeing to become Yuki's secret toy, which sounds a lot worse than it actually is- especially in the eyes of her Theology-professor dad.
The whole school thinks of Yuki as the ideal guy - gorgeous, smart, and sweet. But with Katerina, he's the Devil sent to torment her, seduce her, and - worst of all - he's making her fall in love with him even though he's said it's the one thing she should never ever do.
You can read the reviews for the book here.

I'm giving away up to 3 copies - you just need to have an active blog and be willing to write an honest review about it! 🙂 I'm a frustrated mangaka so I ended up writing this. I really hope you could find the time to check it out! You can also find out about my other books at mariantee.com

I've actually read your book, and I think that it's very well done. I've read a couple books similar to yours that do the manga thing rather badly, but yours surpassed my expectations. You've got great tension and an engaging storyline. I honestly haven't read a lot of shojo, so I can't say much by way of criticism since I'll be a bit biased in my opinion. I do want to read more by you, though, and the new cover looks fantastic. It'll be sure to attract manga fans for you.

Oh wow! Didn't expect I'd actually find someone here who's read my book. Thanks for the nice words, though! 🙂 Coming from someone I'm assuming who loves manga (even not shoujo) as much as I do, they're very humbling!
It's actually free to download today - and the bonus chapter for it will be available tomorrow I think - so if you can think of anyone to share it with, that would be more than awesome. hehe. Thanks again!

Hey, I just finished your book around 5 this morning. Gosh.... I can't put it down. It's like an addiction. I read it in one read
It's really good in my opinion. I like the tensions, Yuki's background
especially the details where they had dinner with his dad and how you described how cruel his mom was to him , chemistry between characters. A writer myself, I like to pay attention to the use of words and I like the way you write.
Keep writing! 🙂
