Penny-Rose O'Shea is a female stone-waller. She may seem untidy by the way she looks, but she's a real beauty! Afterwards, she was summoned by Her Royal Majesty Marguerite. She went to meet Her Majesty with filthy clothes, not knowing, Prince Alastair de Castaliae was also there. He went straight to the point, "I would like you to marry me. For just one year." She thought he was joking, so she ran away. The prince followed her and explained why he asked her to marry him. He has a fiancee, but in my opinion, Penny-Rose is more beautiful than her! Well, as they go with the plan, they started to dine out together, went shopping, and also had picnic. Anyways, I suggest you read the whole story to see how the 'hired princess' became a real princess at the end! It's a great story and great artwork, so I rate it 5 stars! The ending was so great! I definitely recommend it!

Taye is looking for a 'female roommate' because she needs someone to share the payment of the luxurious apartment with. There was a person who turned up to be her roommate, but he's a male. She didn't even agree with him to be her roommate yet, but he just barged in. You'll see on the preview, moving on, Taye and Magnus Ashthorpe are now roommates. On the other hand, Taye has a lot of wealthy suitors. I've got to say this, at least, it's a long story until the time when their feelings for each other develops. However, I like how the story went, it was not only focused on their love story, but also about other things like family issues and the like. I suggest you read it to see how they developed feelings for each other and what made Magnus inquire the apartment!? It was a nice story, for me, and good artwork, so I rate it 5 stars! Great ending! I definitely recommend it!

After reading it, I now get why the title is Sale or Return Bride. It's a story that revolves around the feud of two families, Fiorukis and Philipos family, which also brought Alesia and Sebastien together. Alesia was summoned by her grandfather after 15 years with no contact at all because he wants to exact revenge on the Fiorukis family. He's such a cruel father to his son and likewise, to his granddaughter, too. He's now 'selling' Alesia to the son of their family rival by making them marry each other. You'll see how they met and why Alesia is the right person to her grandfather's revenge on the Fiorukis family, when you read the preview. But, I'll say this, when you read the whole story, you'll see how Sebastien is attracted to her and you'll also discover something about what happened 15 years ago. Overall, it's a great story to read with such an awesome artwork, so I rate it 5 stars! What a joyful, miraculous ending! I definitely recommend it!

Mandy Crawford has a son named Josh, he may not be her real son, but she promised her late best friend that she'll treat him like her own son. They live in Texas with happiness until a visitor appeared, Second Prince Stephan Reynard, claiming that Josh is a rightful heir to the throne. Read the preview to see what they both talked about. However, I suggest reading the whole story to see how Mandy acted towards him after he said, "DNA test will make things clear." I've gotta tell you, though, I love Mandy's character. She's a strong-willed woman, and I like how she's acting towards a prince! Back to the story, you'll see how Stephan fell for Mandy, but denies it because he doesn't want to repeat his brother's mistakes! Anyways, you'll see if he could suppress his feelings for her or not. Nevertheless, the ending was great! Great story and artwork, so I rate it 5 stars! I definitely recommend it!

I like how the story started in a kind of like a will/qualifications for Clarissa's husband-to-be. Clarissa is being cornered by her cousin telling her that she has no choice, but to marry him. However, Clarissa told him that she'll never do what he says. She ran out and asked Phyllis that if she already told Hugh Richfield that Clarissa had something to tell him. Clarissa decided that Hugh is the perfect husband for her because he lost all of his money!? Well, there seems to be something else behind why she wants Hugh to marry her, and you'll find out if you read this! Anyways, Clarissa told Hugh that her cousin is forcing her to marry him. Hugh then told her that if they are going to get married, he'll expect her to satisfy him as a wife would a husband. They sealed the 'deal' with a kiss. I suggest you read this to find out Hugh's feelings for her even way back!? I like the story and totally enjoyed it plus it has great artwork too, so I rate it 5 stars! I definitely recommend it!

Well, just as the synopsis had stated, Angela "has played dumb under the stage name of Angel with her drop dead gorgeous looks." It's funny, though, how she laughed and called a dumb bimbo at Angel, which means her, while she's watching herself on TV! She was doing that for eight years. She was given an alimony by her ex-husband, a house in Italy. She decided to start a life there with Sam. Who is Sam? Well, that's for you to find out! In Italy, there she met the previous owner of the house, Vitorrio Tazzi. He really cares for the lemon orchard, so he told her, "This lemon orchard needs me!" Anyways, I suggest you read it to see how Vitorrio started to care for Angela and what his reaction was when he finally met Sam! Well, it's really a nice story! There were happy and sad moments, but that made it a great story with a great artwork also, so I rate it 5 stars! I definitely recommend it!

This is a story of two people whose social status are so different. Karina is a princess of Nabotavia and is about to get married by winter, on the other hand, Jack Santini was hired to be Karina's bodyguard. Before that, though, they already met, but didn't know who each other were or what their statuses were. When it was the time they are going to be introduced to one another, Jack was surprised to find out that 'one of the princess's maid' is actually the princess! Anyways, what I hated about this was her aunt who makes me so angry! However, the story still went the way I wanted to end, that's why I really enjoyed and loved reading it! Along the story, of course, Jack was only focused on his job to protect the princess, but when boys from noble families gathered up around her, he seemed to get jealous. Well, I suggest you read it to see for yourself how their love prevailed despite their differences in status. Great story and artwork, so I rate it 5 stars! I definitely recommend it!

The story is about two people, Rebecca, a beauty who lost her memory, and a Private Detective, Angus MacDougall, met unexpectedly. Anyways, he decided to let her live in his home. A home where he and Vikki, his daughter, lives. Once you read this, you'll see how their relationship progressed. Anyways, just like the question after the title page, "Will a mysterious stranger bring Rebecca happiness?" Well, how about you read it to see how this "Cinderella-like" story happened. And will they also find the truth behind what exactly happened to Becky before they met? But I've gotta say that it's such a long, but an enjoyable harlequin manga to read! What a great ending! As always, Kazuko Fujita's artwork is so wonderful, and for the story, it's my first time reading a story written by Marie Ferrarella, but I got to say that it was so well-written that made me give it 5 stars rating! I definitely recommend it!
