1836, a world of light and dark, noble and guild. The two spheres intersect when seventeen-year-old Allie Donovan is placed at the aristocratic St Matthews Academy. More at ease with a blade than a needle, she finds herself ostracised by the girls and stalked by a Scottish lord intent on learning why she is among them.
She begins to suspect the underlying reasons when soldiers arrive to see her friend, Zeb, a mechanical genius. On the hunt for answers she breaks into his underground laboratory. There, Allie discovers he is not just constructing sentient mechanical creatures, he is building a devastating new weapon for the military.
The guilds want the weapon and Allie is trapped by ties of blood. She must obey the overlord of the guild and deliver up her friend, unless she can rely on bonds of friendship, to save both their lives.

Serena has learned to live with her past, locking her secrets and nightmares deep inside her. But when her boyfriend of six years abruptly leaves her, she’s catapulted back into pain, nursing a broken heart. When indulging in mountains of chocolate doesn’t work, Serena decides the best way to deal with her shattered heart is to indulge in something else. A rebound . . .
The night she swaps her usual Sprite for tequila, she meets James. The encounter is breathtaking.
Electrifying.
And best not repeated.
James is a successful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. A man who has amassed a fortune by taking risks. A man who has shunned commitment completely, and still does. He’s the exact opposite of Serena. But sometimes opposites attract. Sometimes they give in to burning passion. Sometimes opposites are perfect for each other.
James is everything her damaged soul could want. His kisses are intoxicating, his touch out of this world. He makes her forget. He grants her peace from her pain. But as they grow closer, Serena discovers she isn’t the only one with a past. James carries the scars of a past much darker than hers. One that has left him damaged, hurt, and wary of love. A past that gives him the power to shatter her.
Now James and Serena must find a way to mend one another. Or risk losing each other forever.

Goodreads

This book is a 2-Part book written by Sharon W. Que and Clarissa Sariñes-De La Paz.

Book talks about personal financial matters. From starting or putting up your own business from little or no capital at all to handling difficulties of managing your own business.

Sharon W. Que author of I Wish They Taught Money in High School  So I Can Start My Own Business Right Away  talks about how to prepare and what to do in putting up business. I also learned that having your Business Name registered is such a tedious thing to do.

The risks you have to take in doing business. The ups and downs of starting little or no capital at all. One must go through all the struggles of having a high and low times, and that it doesn't make any difference whether you're rich or not.

Sharon also emphasized the idea of saving, better start teaching the young once the essence of savings and having some "piggy banks" will do nothing but good. So this really encouraged me to pursue on teaching my daughters the art of saving (even just a small amount each day).

Clarissa Sariñes-De La Paz author of I Wish They Taught Money in High School So I'm Not Dependent on My Paycheck talks about terms and methodology about MONEY. Putting your dreams into reality. That even it seems so impossible, if you're determined you can make it to reality. 

It inspire me to invest on assets, learning the way of having a passive income, earning while having your money used by other people. Dare to take the risk of having loans and investing it to something that earns you money. 

Learned so much from this book that it made me realized I've still got a lot of things to do to have the "financial freedom" I've been dreaming of. It can be achieved! 

I am giving this book a rating of 5/5.

I love the comic-type graphics of this book, illustrated by GooglyGoeys.com
