Calendar Girl is a series that is following Mia as she spends a year being an escort to pay off her father’s gambling debt. I really enjoyed the first installment, as I was really sold on her love interest. I will admit I was nervous about how I would feel as she continued onto her next client.
Alec Dubois is her next client and he is an artist. He hires Mia to act as his muse for his current project Love on Canvas.
During this installment we see Mia struggle with her past and loving herself. We do get a tiny, tiny bit of Wes which I loved, but it just made it harder to understand her choices. Right now I am not sure about this serial. I didn’t love how quickly Mia was to forget Wes. I know this is probably not rationale given the premise for the series but it’s how I feel. My hope is that this year Mia will learn about herself, grow as a person and go back to Wes. That being said I don’t know how much I will care if this continues for the next 9-10 installments.
Please don’t let my opinion deter you from reading this, as I really do think this is just me.

The first book in this series felt a little unrealistic to me. I really hoped this book would take that feeling away. But yeah.. You don't always get what you want.
Pros:
Quick light read: This book is a quick one. It doesn't have much pages and you rush through them really fast. The story is written as a fast paced story, so that is nice.
Wes: I really felt like Wes was a keeper in the first book. It's nice that he checks up on Mia and that she has not forgotten him. Makes the first book a little more believable. Next to that; I'm fond of Wes. He's a cool, sweet, goodlooking guy, so I liked to hear from him again!
More emotions from Mia: Mia felt like a robot in the first book, if you don't consider the fact that she fell in love with Wes. In this book she is vulnerable, she is worried about her sister, her father and she shares memories. I liked the fact that she shows a bit more of herself.
Cons:
Unrealistic: It still feels unrealistic to me. A girl who is in big trouble, who gets hired as an escort by her aunt and gets to work for only sweet goodlooking guys. I'm pretty sure, if we ask some escorts from real life, they don't always work for goodlooking, sweet rich guys. It would be awesome to read a month where Mia is not falling for the other person and doesn't have hot steamy sex all the time. Then we have the orgasms and the tears. Way too many quick orgasms, way too many quick tears. Even the passing out frequently during or after the sex.. It's just weird to me.
Alec: He is annoying. He's too dreamy. With the typical French artist, long hair and a beard hippie description. It's just too easy. He lacks personality in my opinion, where Wes did feel like a real person.
Raging about her sister studying: What really felt dumb to me, was a part in the book where Mia's sister is talking about a course she is following. It has something to do with pathology and Mia is raging about this. She doesn't want her sister to deal with death people. I felt like; WHAT!? You're screwing a different guy every month for money because of your aweful ex-boyfriend almost killed your father and you're raging about your sisters UNIVERSITY CLASS?! Nope.

Seneye gerçekten böyle başlamak istemezdim ama bu kitapta gerçekten hiçbir şey yoktu. Yazarın, Alec karakteriyle Mia'ya neler katmaya çalıştığını gördüm fakat bence başarılı olamamış o konuda. Yani amacı anladım fakat yazarken o yoldan sapmış, karakterlerin birkaç sayfada bir epey detaylıca sevişmelerinden başka bir şey içermeyen bir kitap yazmış.
Gerçi hata bende. Daha ilk bölümden Alec'in üzerine atladığında anlamalıydım kitabın bu yöne gideceğini. Öfff. Sadece 100 sayfa olmasına rağmen zorla okudum, bitireyim derken canım çıktı.
Seriye devam edersem sadece en sonda Wes'le bir ilişkiye başlayacaklar mı yoksa arkadaş mı kalacaklar merakımdan devam ederim.

Let me rant about this book, okay?
I wish Mia Saunders would come to life, just so I could punch her.
If this wasn't picked by our bookclub I would have never even started this, but since it is our book of the year I am determined to try and read along. I wonder how long I can handle this.
My full on rant is in spoiler tag, because I can't out my frustration without giving away the first two books.

Book one was good. I just can't get into the screwing of guy #2 just after falling in love with guy number 1. And I can only presume that she will be mowing through another 10 men. I listened to the sex scene at 3X the normal audio speed because it's just so sleesy. For me emotional attachment is vital to a good romance book (or life!); I need to be pulled in and brought along. Such a massive turn off. I can not comprehend the high ratings for this series. To each his own. Those of my ilk should pass on this series.

Mia m-a uimit prin faptul ca a putut trece așa ușor de la Wes la Alec. Am asemănat-o cu un fluturaș care zboară din floare in floare...
Mi-a plăcut sinceritatea cu care își accepta nevoile, faptul ca își recunoaște defectele și ca, alături de Alec învață să își iubească propria persoana.
O poveste ușoară, sinceră intr-un mod straniu, care se citește ușor.

I was looking forward to this series. I was curious about how the men and Mia were going to work in a kinda reverse harem. I don't know why but this book made me never want to read the rest of the series. Mia character came off as whiny in the previous book but I got past that. Mia's character is becoming a slut. I don't mean that as a negative she just is. It's honestly like she wants to have sex with all these guys and they're isn't a relationship between them. I prefer that there would be a love story before the deed. The French painter Alec guy was the man of the story. I honestly thought he was stereotyped. I've personally been to France and rarely any French men act like that. This book was sooo boring. I got really bored I'm surprised I read all of it. Yes this book is a hundred pages and I shouldn't expect much but it wasn't up to par with the previous book. I'm rating this 2 stars it was a disappointment but I didn't loath It.

My problem with this book is not about the story. It's about the French. First, French is not sexy to me , at all.
Second, the French was translated literally from English, and even if it was grammatically correct (except for one mistake), it did not sound right. It didn't sound like what an actual French person would say, at any point.
So, that disturbed me.
Also the whole French artist thing is not for me and it had way too many clichés about French people.
Besides the french thing, I thought Mia was less interesting than in the first one... She pissed me off more and the story made me roll my eyes a little too often...

Continua il mio viaggio con questo raro esemplare di... ecco sono già in difficoltà.
Donna?
Diciamo essere vivente dotata di cervello... ah no, scusate... dotata di vagina magnetica e pensante. Stop. Non ha altro questa tizia.
Allora avevamo lasciato Mia in partenza per Seattle dove dovrà essere la musa ispiratrice di un famoso pittore.
La trama? Non c'è proprio, non riesco a trovarla neanche sforzandomi lontanamente.
In pratica Mia ci aveva rotto le scatole con Wes (il tizio di gennaio) ma tempo 2 minuti sta già sbavando per Alec
Ma la profondità di questa donna?
Ah già giusto... ce l'ha da un'altra parte!
Nel suo cervello ci sono giusto 2 neuroni in croce che si divertono a giocare a nascondino e lei passa quasi tutto il libro a dire “Non capisco”, e quando la sorella le dice che sta frequentando un corso di Botanica, lei cade giù dalle nuvole chiedendo: “ E cosa è la botanica?”
Wow mi sono cadute le braccia…
E la cosa brutta (sì beh, a parte tutto il resto…) è che si cerca di spacciare tutto questo sesso random come “amore”.
Ma per favore!
E vogliamo parlare della scena patetica quando la zia le dice che Wes e Alec hanno pagato l'extra per il sesso come specificato nel contratto, e lei va fuori di testa perchè non pensa di essere una prostituta e si offende.
Piango…
Nell’ultimo capitolo Mia riceve dalla zia notizie sul cliente di marzo, Tony, uno chef italiano.
Ho già paura di quello che può uscir fuori dalla bocca di questa tizia, visto il commento che fa quando vede la sua foto e il fisico perfetto
AIUTOOOOO

"Non avrei praticato l'astinenza.
Non sarebbe stato da me"
"Il suo leggero accento francese mi fece quasi svenire. Avvertii una fitta tra le cosce.
Gli uomini con l'accento straniero erano tremendamente sexy."
"Io non avevo l'occhio dell'artista.
Avevo occhio solo per gli uomini sexy, le magliette dei gruppi rock e le moto."

"Tu vuoi che mi innamori di te?"
"Certo. Tu no?"
"No, certo che no. Io con te voglio divertirmi. Fra un mese mi troverò con un altro cliente con cui potrei avere rapporti sessuali."
"Nella nostra relazione non c'era molto altro a parte lavorare e scopare.
Lui lo chiamava "fare l'amore", io "scopare", e mi piaceva moltissimo farlo.
Mi sarebbe potuta andare peggio, pensavo.
Avrebbe potuto portarmi in giro per noiosi musei a guardare opere."

Possedeva una grande catena di ristoranti italiani.
Quel tipo di cucina non è noto per il basso numero di calorie.”

Pff, wat een verschrikkelijke boek. Deja-vu naar Fifty Shades Darker: seksseksseks, gedetailleerd beschreven seks en weinig inhoud
De leuke, sarcastische Mia met eigen willetje is ver te zoeken in dit boek. Voor mijn gevoel gedraagt ze zich meer als een slaaf.
Vol met tegenstrijdigheden: Ze mist Wes (uit het eerste boek) zo, maar ze glibbert wel de kamer rond zodra ze die slijmerige Fransoos alleen maar zíét. Uit op seks, maar boos worden als.. Nouja, laat maar zitten, heb serieus geen energie meer om over dit boek na te denken.
1* omdat-ie lekker kort was.
Ik geef volgende maand het deel Maart nog eens kans in de hoop dat deze weer verder gaat zoals het eerste deel. Als die verder gaat zoals dit boek, ga ik deze reeks absoluut niet af lezen.

Dit deel las weer ontzettend vlot, binnen een 2 uur heb ik 'm gelezen.
Bij BooksEverAfter lezen we elke maand een deel en ik las dat veel mensen Alec een tenenkrommend personage vonden, maar ik vond dat totaal niet. Wel vond ik hem aan het begin te klef, maar naar het einde van het verhaal vond ik hem lief.
Mia vindt ik nog steeds een leuk personage en ik ben heel benieuwd naar deel 3. Maar daarvoor moet ik nog even wachten, want die lees ik pas in maart.

Unglaublich wie schlecht es ist. 80% Sexszenen (die sich vom "Inhalt" auch ständig wiederholen) - Mia nervt mich richtig! Und Mister Februar fand ich jetzt auch nicht spannend mit seinem Akzent u d überhaupt.... März tue ich mir tatsächlich noch an, weil es dann ja wie Band 1 ist (Jan/Feb/März), aber wenn das auch nur 1 Stern wird, breche ich ab. 12x Mias Gesabbel über ihre ständigen "Noch nie habe ich..." Momente und das dauernde "Lippenlecken" ertrage ich nicht.....

Ve seri tüm hızıyla devam ediyordu. Sanırım en çok dedikodusunu yaptığım kitap bu oldu :D
.
Mia Wes'i ardında bırakarak bir sonraki müşterisi olan Fransız ressama doğru yol alıyor. Alec ise işkolik, eksantrik, aşk adamı biri. Bizim tabii aklımız Wes'te kaldığı için bize garip geliyor adam :D Ama o da kendi çapında iyi, nazik bir adamdı. Wes kadar sevemedim kendisini. Çizdiği sınırların içinde kalabilmesine ise bayıldım! Her kitapta Mia bize biraz daha kendisini açıyor, her kitapla biraz daha gelişiyor. Mesela bu kitapta aptal olduğunu keşfetti! :D Mia o sona doğru yaşanan para olayında çok pasif kalarak beni deli etti. Her şeyden öte ilk kitapta Wes ile aralarında bir çekim gördüğümden onunla yatınca çok laf edememiştim ama bu kitapta Alec'in üstüne atlayan o gibi olunca... Bilemedim işte ya. Wes'in yanındaki Mia'yı seviyordum, Alec'in yanındaki Mia ise mızmız, her şeye laf eden, laf etmesi gerektiğinde konuşmayan biri gibiydi. Ve mart kesinlikle benim ayım olacak! Seriye başlarken kafamda oluşan senaryolardan biri mart ayında yaşanacak. Mart ayı hepimize iyi gelecek ;)
.
Seri yetişkin içerikli olduğundan yaşı küçüklere önermiyorum. Okumayın şimdi bunları, sonra okursunuz :D

Jup, still pretty terrible (which is why a book this short took me over a month to get through). As we are reading this in our goodreads book club and everyone seems to think March is much better, I will still give that one a chance.. But if it's anything like this one I will give up cause I have wayyy to many good books on my tbr!

Le tome du mois de Janvier avait très bien débuter la série et j'avais hâte de me plonger dans la suite, histoire de voir si j'allais tout autant accrocher. Après tout, il faut savoir où on s'en va lorsqu'on écrit 12 tomes pour une série.
Tout ce que je peux dire, c'est quel contraste! Je m'étais habituée à Wes dans le 1er tome de la série, mais Alec est vraiment différent. C'est un artiste et sa vision de la vie et de l'amour en particulier est très original. Il a une façon bien a lui de voir les choses, une vision qui sort vraiment de l'ordinaire. C'est rafraichissant et Mia apprendra beaucoup sur elle-même à ses côtés durant ce mois.
Ce n'est pas ce qu'on pourrait appeler une histoire d'amour. C'est plutôt une histoire d'affection mutuelle. Il y a bien évidemment plusieurs scènes très hot, comme seule Audrey Carlan en a le secret. Mais je ne suis pas arrivée à me sortir Wes de la tête. Mia non plus d'ailleurs. J'ai hâte de voir où cette histoire va nous mener. Parce que Mia ne peut pas décider de tout laisser en plan comme ça. Elle doit avoir amassé un million de dollars avant la fin de l'année. Tout un contrat! Et les sentiments sont la dernière chose qu'on veut en ce moment.
Franchement, une super suite dans l'ensemble. Je suis vraiment intriguée de connaître la suite des aventures de Mia. Ce second tome m'a convaincue: je lirai la série en entier. Et à voir la vitesse à laquelle les choses bougent pour Mia, je me demande vraiment comment la série se terminera.
Merci à Hugo New Romance Québec pour cette lecture !

Het blijft erg vermakelijk om te lezen, echter blijft het ook niet zo heel goed geschreven met het gemis van enige diepgang. Maar ja, als je kijkt naar het aantal pagina's kan je dat ook wel niet verwachten. Denk wel dat ik de hele serie ga lezen gewoon omdat het leuk en luchtig is om te lezen. Maar in wezen is het echt niet goed, haha.

Book 2 - just as sexy and cute as the first but I hated the expression O-trigger!!!
Once is ok - twice, ok...but so often??? Ew!
And yes, it's all a bit slutish but pfff - it's fiction and it's fun and fast and entertaining.
On to March now! ☺

Tamamen boş zaman değerlendirmesi ve can sıkıntısından dolayı okuduğum bir kitaptı. Ve resmen içim şişti. Yetmedi sıkıldım ve okuduğuma da pişman oldum doğrusu. Allah'tan pdf ti. Yoksa daha da sinir olurdum kendime :) :D

Not that good...
Mia continues her job as a newbie Paid Escort. This month she is to be an Artist's Muse, and inspire him to his next collection of paintings..... Nude paintings that is!
The plot continues to be a bit thin and still causes the occasional 'Huh... what?' moment. But is otherwise fine for this kind of quick and dirty novel. The main failing of this instalment however, is that I didn't really like the characters. They acted strange and at one point completely irrational in regard to their situation. In the end I skimmed more than I read to speed things along.
Al things combined, this was another month, lots of sex, not that much depth and one rather strange moment.

2,5 αστεράκια, για την ακρίβεια, όχι επειδή το 2ο σκέλος της ιστορίας είναι καλύτερο από το πρώτο, αλλά επειδή το διάβασα λίγο πιο ευχάριστα, και ίσως επειδή ο πρωταγωνιστής μου έκανε ένα κλικ παραπάνω σε σύγκριση πάντα με τον προηγούμενο.

Bu kitaplarda en çok sevdiğim şey kısa olmaları sanırım.
Ben Wes'te tutuklu kaldım arkadaşlar. Alec beni biraz yordu.
Mia hakkında ne düşüneceğimi bilmiyorum. Nefret ediyorum desem tam olarak değil, seviyorum desem sevdiğim karakterler isyan eder.

El libro ha sido horrible no me ha gustado nada. No voy a seguir con esta saga porque después de leer este libro y ver del rollo que va la autora paso de perder el tiempo leyéndolos.
Febrero ha sido super aburrido. Lo he leído por leer. Todo el rato pasaba lo mismo era que la trama todo el rato daba vueltas y nunca pasaba nada siempre lo mismo en bucle. Solo tenían relaciones y luego Alec le hacía hacer cosas más raras para pintar los cuadros. Si ese tío es super reconocido como pintor que venga dios y lo vea porque no puede ser verdad. La autora intentaba ser filosófica con sus obras para darle un sentido que no tenían. Es como si dibuja un circulo y dice que es el ciclo de la vida y la muerte.
A todo esto hay que añadir esas escenas de sexo que no venían a cuento. Yo las pasaba porque ya me cansaba y todas eran iguales. Pero sobretodo aburridas yo las leía y vaya coñazo.
Otra cosa a recalcar es el personaje de Alec. Le tengo mucha rabia y no lo soporto. Es un personaje muy extraño que nunca me había encontrado antes. Asimismo hacía cosas muy raras y es un personaje que no me ha convencido, no le visto realista y va a mi lista de personajes que no aguanto. A Mía la he visto muy sumisa no me gustado nada en este libro, pensaba que haría una evolución en el personaje pero se ha quedado igual. Una cosa de Alec que me molestaba todo el rato es que estuviera todo el rato hablando en francés. Lo más gracioso es que al principio de la novela la autora recalca que lleva el suficiente tiempo en Estados Unidos como para hablar y entender perfectamente el inglés. Mia todo el rato le pregunta "¿Eso que significa?" Mira chico si hablad tan bien el inglés por qué te pones a hablar francés 24/7???? Habían cosas que eran demasiado obvias y Mia no lo sabía, bueno tampoco sabía que significaba la asignatura de botánica así que supongo que es normal xd. Y no hablemos de que la autora lo pone de super perfecto que tiene músculos de gimnasio y, sorpresa, nunca va al gimnasio. lol
La autora ha utilizado muchos tópicos. Una cosa que no me gustado es cuando dice que las animadoras son tontas cuando realmente da igual si eres animadora o no porque seas animadora no significa que seas tonta.

For her second job, Mia goes to Seattle to be artist Alec Dubois's muse.
This story is hot and so sweet. Alec teaches Mia so much in such a short time. Love can come in many forms, it doesn't have to be the "until death do us part" kind to be real. He also teaches her to "see" herself...see what's on the inside, not just the scars of past mistakes.
Alec is quirky, yes, he's the typical well known artist. But, he is also so compassionate, wise, and quite down to earth. There are many things he says to Mia that will stick with you. I loved this quote by Alec, "You are seeing your beauty reflected in me, the way my body calls to yours and yours to mine."
I love seeing Mia grow and have fun in the experiences that she is having. I like seeing her react to situations that put her out of her comfort zone. And, I like that she isn't a pushover.
You will enjoy meeting Alec and seeing the strong relationship that forms between him and Mia. The sad part is, it always has to end. Can't wait to see what comes next for Mia!

Book 2, February in the Calender Girl series is the second book I've consumed today. I loved Mia in January, her connection with Wes was hot and beautiful, even with Mia's current job. However, February didn't connect with me as well.
I think because I loved Mia and Wes so much, it was hard to see her switch that off so fast. However, as Mia interacted with Alec, I began to love them together. Alec was beautiful inside and out. I think the creative side of myself got the whole 'muse' thing and I loved their relationship, especially the artwork piece names.
Another great story from Audrey, I really love her writing style and can't wait yo move onto book 3, March. Reading at present is really helping take my mind off of a really tough time in my life. 4 stars.

Re-reading in Sept 2020 - I have the same opinion as I did when I read it for the first time.
A great read overall.
The 4 stars are probably just due to the little bit of "dislike" I have to some parts of it (you will figure it out as you read it), but after saying that I do understand Mia´s action in a way (even though I didn´t cheer for them and had a bit of problem with them! Lol...).
This month "on the job" did her good in a way though...she kind of found herself and figured out that it´s okay to love someone in any way or through any circumstances...even yourself.
Next up...Chicago.....

Het is lang niet slecht geschreven, maar wel wat ongeloofwaardig. Je kunt zwijmelen over de liefde in het boek en wellicht stiekem genieten van de steamy scènes... En ook na dit deel ben ik benieuwd naar de volgende gast waar Mia heen gaat. Zal er ooit een klant zijn waar ze geen vuurwerk mee wilt maken? ;)
