Sensual

Sweetheart #14

by Martha Cecilia

Tamara Alba was a pretty fifteen year old girl from the other side of town. Her family was an outcast, itinuturing na yagit at basura sa bayang iyon. Gayun man, hindi hadlang iyon upang pangarapin niya si Sean DeSalvo, ang anak ng pinakamayamang tao sa Trinidad. He was the center of her universe. And yet it would remain her bestkept secret.

Pagtatawanan at lalaitin siya ng lahat kapag may nakaalam sa damdamin niya para dito. Sean hated her family—pagkasuklam na humantong sa pagpapalayas nito sa pamilya niya mula sa lupang pag aari ng pamilya nito. Hindi pa man sila nakakalayo ay inutusan na nito ang mga kaibigan nitong sunugin ang bahay nila.

Foolishly blinded by love, hindi nagkapuwang ang poot sa dibdib niya. Young Tamara left town—keeping Sean DeSalvo in her heart.

Martha Cecilia the greatest plagiarist I know of. She copied this novel of her Sensual from After the Night of Linda Howard. Translated the After the Night na cover to cover even retained memorable English phrases. Basahin nyo After The Night tapos compare nyo. Plagiarism sux. she sux!

incredible.... ever heard of Linda Howard??? Imitation maybe the 'greatest' form of flattery but ripping off other people's work and passing it for your own is just stupid. The book is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

ive read this a few years back. i was so amazed with her kristine series and so she was my fave filipino romance author. the story is good. real good. back then i was so high and was really moved with the story.

only until last night i stumbled upon Linda howard's After the night. My goodness!. Same plot different twist lang. At first i told myself this sounds like Martha Cecilia's Sensual and then when i continued to read on its almost exact the same thing! even the mutilated animal. With Linda its a cat and with martha i believe it was a dog. And i remember on the last part both books had something burning in the end.

Honestly, i really dont know what to feel. I dont even want to rate this book just because of this. and I would say yes its plagiarism but then back in high school Martha is the best. Im sad. But I cant say Im not gonna read her books in the future.

You can't rate something that is originally written by your favorite author, right?

Most sensual novel of martha cecilia and super kilig

[Naya Panda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like this book. It's a suspense-romantic story. I was right that it's Patricia who killed JD. It's a bit sad because Bernadine was dead by a car accident. Martha Cecilia's the best. I love the ending. The Tamara-Sean tandem is so romantic. THUMBS UP ☺

I've read this a couple of years ago so I was so shock when I recently read After the Night by Linda Howard..and this book was seriously similar to it...it was like reading the same book , just in a different language :< After the Night was published way back in 1995.

Although its plagiarized by MC, from After the Night by LH, and change some little, I still loved MC

How to read this???

[Shxrxn · Rating 1 out of 5]

Bought this book and read it after it was released. I consider this one of my favorite, kaya I was so disappointed with Martha Cecilia when I read Linda Howard's After The Night. Meron pang other Martha Cecilia book na katulad naman ng isang Jackie Chan movie pero deadma ko na lang justify ko pa sya na baka naman inspiration lang pero ito tinagalog lang. Almost the same pati yung mga lines. Binibili ko basta Martha Cecilia books na bago even yung nabasa ko na before na wala pa ako. Complete ang Kristine Series at Sweetheart ko ngayon ewan ko. I felt cheated.

A suspense-romance story. There're lots of twists and at one moment, I really thought that Emily is the one who killed JD. It was also a sad story because of the Alba's place in Trinidad. Praise for MC for this great story.
