Wilhelmina
(Precious Hearts Romances)
Para matigil na ang mga kaibigan ni Bri sa pagba-blind date sa kanya sa kung sino-sinong lalaki, sinabi niyang may boyfriend na siya. Pero hindi nakontento ang mga ito. Ayaw siyang tigilan ng mga kaibigan niya hangga’t hindi niya sinasabi kung sino ang misteryosong boyfriend niya. Sinabi niyang si Orion—ang sikat na singer na nakabase sa Ireland—ang boyfriend niya. Bri met him a year ago through her cousin. And she fell for him at first sight. Naisip niyang hindi siya mabubuko dahil nasa malayo ito at imposibleng biglang umuwi sa Pilipinas.
Mukhang natahimik na ang mga kaibigan niya at hindi na naungkat pa ang topic tungkol sa boyfriend issue. Kaya laking gulat niya nang isang araw ay sitahin siya ng mga kaibigan niya na bakit hindi niya sinasabing nasa Pilipinas na ang boyfriend niya at hindi pa niya ipinapakilala ito sa kanila.
Lalo siyang nagulantang nang makipagkilala ang mga kaibigan niya kay Orion. Sa pagtataka niya, hindi itinanggi ng lalaki ang mga sinasabi ng mga kaibigan niya na may relasyon sila!

Reader's Point-of-view:
All Rights Reserved was Miss Wilhelmina's sixteenth novel. This was about Bri who was a fan of Orion, a singer at Ireland. Since her friends were insisting her to attend this blind date, she told them she already has a boyfriend and it was Orion. It was just a white lie since she doesn't like dating and her friends believed her white lie. Then she was shocked when she learned that Orion was in their country. Gusto ng mga kaibigan niya na ipakilala niya ang mga ito kay Orion. When they met Orion on this one fateful day, she was shocked when instead of denying their relationship, he acted like he was really her boyfriend in front of her friends. And he acted as her boyfriend even after that day.
Based sa teaser, iisipin mo na si Orion ang bida. But since it was revealed already in the opening chapters, then I guess it's okay to reveal it here on the review. Sana hindi ito lumabas na spoiler.
Orcon, the hero was Orion's twin brother. His character was light and the typical boy-next-door type. Normal lang siya pero maganda kasi ang pagkakalahad sa kanya ni Ms. Wilhelmina kung kaya't habang binabasa ko ang nobela, naiinlove din ako sa kanya. Gusto ko yong mga simpleng hirit niya at gusto ko yong paraan niya ng pagkaka-cute kay Bri.
Bri was the self-proclaimed girlfriend of Orion. She was obsessed with him that she has his poster and he was the wallpaper of her laptop and cell phone. Nakakatuwa lang yong pagiging luka-luka ni Bri. I like his simple attitude. Hindi trying hard ang character niya. Minsan parang ang childish niya pero mao-overlook mo naman yon as you read the story (if you're enjoying the story, I mean). She's so simple and cute. Idagdag pa na may pagka makulit siya minsan.
Orcon and Bri were actually a good pair. Sa totoo lang, hindi namin ma-elaborate ang ugali nila dahil nasanay kami na puro faults ang napapansin. But in this novel, we were hooked at the flow of the story that we weren't able to see if there's a fault or whatever. Ang cute lang kasi ng tandem ni Orcon at Bri at ang pasimpleng pagseselos ni Orcon sa twin brother niyang si Orion.
The novel was a feel-good yet great novel. Ito yong nobela na common at light lamang subalit makikita mo yong sarili mong nag-e-enjoy sa pagbabasa. Pampawala ng stress. If you're into light read novels, I recommend this one. Maganda talaga siya. Nakakakilig at hindi boring. The novel was humorous and indeed light. Siguro ay mas maganda sana kung hindi kaagad ni-reveal sa umpisa na si Orcon pala ang kasama niya at hindi si Orion. In the novel, Bri doesn't know it was Orion's twin brother. Akala niya talaga si Orion ang kasama niya. But the readers weren't fooled since it was revealed nga. But it was still great. Masyado lang siguro akong nabitin sa ending ng nobela. Nabilisan ako masyado sa ending.
This was the second time BookWorm had tried Ms. Wilhelmina's work. Hindi niya kasi nagustuhan yong isa niyang nabasang gawa ni Ms. Wilhelmina. But when she read the title of this book, she wanted to read it even though the teaser was common. And she could say that it was worth it. To her, this just proves that a writer could improve as time goes by. BookLover was already a reader of Ms. Wilhelmina since she read her novel, When Izen Takes Charge.
