Oh My Oppa!

Having a book release while you are in the midst of loosing a loved one isn't exactly the best way to go. However, even though it has been a month I am very proud of the fifth book in the My Korean Crush Series. Oh My Oppa! By ME!

I had so much fun writing this book. It combined my love of storytelling with my love of Kdramas for what I think is a pretty fun ride.

Kate Morrison has plans to rekindle her dying relationship when her boyfriend Derek invites her on a two week business trip to Korea. But when the trip turns out to be just that—business—she discovers that eating kimchi and bulgogi alone isn’t exactly what she’d hoped for.

Even though he can’t take his eyes off his laptop, Derek does try to make sure Kate isn’t completely bored. Unfortunately, hiring an oppa tour guide to show her around isn’t the solution Kate had been hoping for. All she really wants is for Derek to remember how much he still loves her. 

Kate decides that spending more time with her “oppa,” Sean, might jog Derek’s memory. The problem is, Sean isn’t just attractive—he’s smart, funny, and he not only listens to her dreams about writing children’s books, he encourages them. With Derek too busy with mergers and acquisitions to find time to be jealous, will Kate be able to win his heart back before her new oppa steals hers away?

You can find it on Amazon in both ebook and paperback. If you are looking for a fun, light hearted read, this is the book for you!

Silver Screen Dreams

It is time for book two in the My Korean Crush Series: Silver Screen Dreams by Jennie Bennett. Oh how I loved this book. There is nothing quite like falling in love with the guy next door (or across the street in my case). And when you throw in a hot movie star who has his eye on you, well it leads to a super fun adventure that you won't be able to put down.

From Amazon:

Summer Henley is sick of playing it safe. Safe career path (accounting,) safe place to live (with her parents,) and a safe best friend (Mark.) 

In her dreams she was a screenwriter with a home in a Malibu and a hot actor boyfriend, but that was saved in her someday file. For the moment, she’d play the part of a good worker, good daughter, and good friend. Even though her heart longed for something more, especially with Mark.

It wouldn’t be so hard to stay just friends if Mark would quit being so amazing to her. Knowing her dream, he’s secured her a spot as an extra in Korean television show, placing her directly in the path of the handsome lead actor. Now, two incredible men are vying for her attention and she has to decided if her dreams are really what she wants, or if her reality is better than she could ever imagine.


Jennie is amazing when it comes to bringing romance to the page. I loved watching Summer's dilemma and seeing the great final outcome. These books are perfect for K-drama lovers and really anyone who wants a good, clean romance (yes, you teen can read this and you don't have to worry). I love all the books in the series, but this one is my favorite favorite so far. Get your copy here!

My Korean Crush Series Book 1

As promised, I'm back and am excited to share the first book in the My Korean Crush Series with everyone: Flower Boy Tour Guide by Shannon Kent.

When K-Drama Anonymous announced this book series I was super excited. I love all things K-drama and I love to read, so books that have flower boy oppas that make you swoon are like chocolate for me. This book did not disappoint. Here is the premise as taken from Amazon:

Flower Boy: noun 1. slang for a really hot guy 

Hannah Reynolds travels to Korea in search of her own drama hero come to life. What she gets instead is gorgeous, but surly tour guide, Jae Lee. He seems determined to ruin every romantic location they visit with his snarky comments, but Hannah can’t deny the crackling tension between them. 

As they travel around the country with a busload of wacky K-drama and K-pop fans, their chemistry keeps drawing the two together. Hannah sees the mountain of problems standing between her and a relationship with Jae. They live in different countries. She’s flying home in five days. And he always takes an emotional step back whenever they get closer. But her heart doesn’t want to listen to reason. All it can see is the flower boy tour guide.

The romance is fun, but the thing I love the most about this book are all the "wacky" K-drama fans. The author has created a handful of fun, unique characters that put a smile on your face from beginning to end. The hi-jinx that these ladies create will have you laughing. And, not to spoil anything, but the friendships formed are so amazing that another book was created from them. 

As with each book in this series, you can read them in any order as they each stand on their own, but this book is a great place to start. So if you love K-Dramas and need a good read, go get yourself a copy using the link above. And if you have never ventured into the world of K-dramas/K-Pop then do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this book. 

Just for Fun:

Who would you want to have as your very own Flower Boy Tour Guide?

My Korean Crush Series

Four years ago my friend Rebecca showed up on my doorstep with some bulgogi and told me I had to watch a K-drama with her. The rest is history. I was hooked. K-dramas are the best. They are fun, cute, romantic, and all the feels! I probably should state that they are not the only reason I took a break from blogging (but they might have been one of the reasons--man it is hard to stop once you get into a show). Life has been busy. I also went from being an Administrative Assistant to being the Coordinator of Academic Quality Assurance to now being the Manger of the Curriculum Department for a major university. The largest one in my state. I also took classes on the side and got my Certificate of Proficiency in Editing and Document Design. And I have done A LOT of editing--and a little writing. But K-dramas have been my release. They are my wind down time. My stress relievers.

A few months ago--that same lovely friend invited me to join a group on Facebook full of K-drama fans. The rest is history. Now not only do I get to watch K-dramas, I have a whole community of amazing people to talk to about them. So when some of the girls in the group started a book series--My Korean Crush--of course I was interested. And so I read the books. Each one as they have come out and I have to say--they are awesome. Over the next few weeks I will review each book in the series so any of you reading this will know you have to have a copy for yourself. In fact, trust me, you don't need my reviews. Just go to Amazon and get them! But if you want to know what I have to say then tune back in real soon (no really, I won't get lost in Dramaworld and never do another blog). Until then happy writing, happy reading, and happy K-dramaing!
