Description

Romance and manga becomes one in Harlequin Manga!

A story by USA Today bestselling author becomes a comic!


Meg, an innocent and cautious woman, finds herself seated next to handsome millionaire Niklas on an airplane. Feeling marvelously attracted to the man, Meg allows herself to share a few kisses with him, and they even get a little action in under the blanket on the dimly lit plane! When their magical passion doesn’t abate in the slightest after they come down to earth, they exchange wedding vows the very next day. But the following morning, her husband gives her the cold shoulder and disappears from her life. A year later, Niklas’s lawyers show up to meet Meg, who has completely closed off her heart, to inform her Niklas is being imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit. On top of that, the only way to meet him is to show up there as his wife and request a meeting—a conjugal meeting!

Meg is flipping out on the plane, and although Niklas is a little rude at the beginning, he warms up to her. They even get married the day after meeting, however, after the wedding night, Niklas does a 180 and tells Meg its over. Great premise and very entertaining.
I am a huge fan of manga, especially romantic manga. My only complaint is that it is a little short. I go through them quickly, but regardless of the length it is very lovely.

Review to come to all sources mentioned on my profile, tomorrow.

I received this manga from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

The 5th and final Harlequin Manga I requested at Netgalley, I have tried stretching out reading them, but I still devoured them. Hopefully a new batch will make its way to Netgalley. *crosses fingers*

Meet Meg, a simplistic girl who, after having a hot dude next to her in the airplane, get married to him so they can have sex (because he is sooooo good with his hands and makes her come while they are flying). Yuuuupppp *coughs*, isn't it brilliant? Oh, you make me feel so good, but, no we cannot have sex until marriage. OK, let's get married. Instantly. Oh, and the next day? Screwed over (but no worries, he has got an excuse, though it will take a year for him to tell it). I knew that was coming as soon as they dived into the idea and into bed. I have nothing against waiting until marriage, but this was just ridiculous. That is not how no sex before marriage works. :| Also, who doesn't use a condom. Hello? Think of all the things you can get, too many.

So now, Meg is a completely grumpy girl who hates planes and guys. Oh, but I need to mention that she didn't even divorce the guy. Yep, she is carrying her ring and certificate around (as I can't imagine she just keeps it in her desk all the time).

And then it got even sillier, and I was just laughing so much! OMG. That plot, really, how can you take this serious? Even later, and I am sure I should be shocked, but I just saw that twist coming for miles. I was even thinking it took quite long!

Even though the plot was ridiculous, I was shipping Meg and Niklas like crazy. I knew that even though Niklas was a grumpy *insert some mean words* he was also a good guy, we just had to dive deeper in the story to see that.

The art... well, it wasn't my favourite. Some characters looked wonderful (Niklas), but some just looked terrible (Meg). The romance scenes were done pretty dang nicely though.

All in all, this was much better than the previous Harlequin Manga I read, it was still silly, but it was good silly. And there was romance that I liked.

Rating: 5/5

I loved the drama in this! Full of lust and passion and the consequences that follow! The illustrations are the icing on this cake because they just enhance the storyline and make it like a silent black and white movie!

An interesting take on a good story. Nice colorful graphics. Good overall storytelling. I liked the graphics and story.

I simply adore these Harlequin Manga comics. It doesn't even matter what the story is, I tend to love them all. The beautiful illustrations bring the stories to life for me and while they are short and an abbreviated version of the story, I find them satisfying nonetheless because I love seeing the illustrated depictions of the scenes and the characters. This one is another winner. And I apologise in advance that a few of my reviews are similar but really, I just love them all.
