No es para mí, o no me convenció. Llámalo como quieras.
Pero es el primer puntaje bajo que le doy a Jennifer.
A medida que leía sólo podía imaginarlos así:
o así:
Estúpida memoria
Por momentos me parecía gracioso que se me cruzaran los canales, pero después me molestó que no despertara mi imaginación.
Y lamento decirlo pero no tuvo el poder de atraparme ni con esa historia de amor.
No voy a leer los siguientes. Por lo menos no este año... o el siguiente xD

Loved this novella! It was funny, cute, and interesting all wrapped up in one. It's short, but sweet. I loved learning about the world Jasmine and Dez live in, it's very different from other books. I loved the characters, especially Dez; he's everything you come to expect in a JLA character so therefore I loved him right away. Loved the bits we get from Layla, Zayne, and the "unknown" upper level demon. I didn't catch everything the first time I read it so it made me smile knowing everything that happens and now reading it for a second time.
Every book JLA writes, I love!! Bitter Sweet Love is a prequel novella to her The Dark Elements Series. I have never read or heard of a book involving gargoyles, so I instantly loved this. It may have helped a bit that the main female character and I share a name! This book follows Jas and Dez. They were childhood friends, once he turned 18 he left, then shows back up 3 years later and has requested to mate with Jas. Still hurt over him leaving, you read how she feels, how he feels, and how they are brought together once again. This is such a fun read. I was hooked instantly. This story is full of love, strong emotions, pain, redemption, etc. Highly recommend this book. Cannot wait to start the series.
Absolutely loved getting to know and read the background about Dez and Jas!
4.5 stars
This was so cute! I'm really glad I decided to read it instead of just skipping it to start the rest of the series.
All I'm wondering about is why there was a need to put in so much of Layla and Zayn when the point of this story is to tell us Jas and Dez's story and set up the world. The rest of the series is about Layla, so I felt like it would've been nicer to spend as much time as possible with Jas and Dez, since this novella is already so short. It felt kind of like the parts spent on setting up Layla's character could've been spent on giving us a little more of Jas and Dez.
Other than that it was super nice to get a small taste of the world and dynamics before starting White Hot Kiss and I'm very much looking forward to starting it super soon!

A NEW SERIES BY JENNIFER ARMENTROUT!!!!
Instead of the typical, overused and overdone angels vs. demons JLA does gargoyles vs. demons? OMG, LOVE IT. What an awesome idea. Angels are boring anyway.
Bitter Sweet Love is the prequel to JLA's new Dark Elements series. So, while this novella follows Dez and Jasmine, the series will be following Layla, a character we meet for like 2 seconds at the end. I liked this novella, it was fast-pace and it was pretty action-packed!
I love JLA. She always creates really awesome characters and I’m always impressed. I really liked the main characters of this novella, Dez and Jasmine. They were really awesome separately and were seriously really cute together.
Jasmine wasn’t as kick-ass or as awesome as most of JLA’s female leads are but I still liked her. And of course JLA struck gold when she wrote Dez. He is just awesome….and swoon worthy, obviously!
We also briefly met Layla, the main character for the series. I don’t have anything particularly good to say about her. She seemed a little…“blah”….for lack of a better adjective. And she seemed a little shy and to put it bluntly, boring. We also met Zayne, who will also be in the series. He seemed weird-ish…I didn’t like him....and he’s weirdly possessive…so I guess we’ll see how big of a role he has in the book.
So, like I said, The Dark Elements series will be following Layla’s story…and while I’m intrigued and will definitely be reading this series, Layla seems kinda lame as far as kickass heroines go. Which makes me disappointed and freaks me out a little but. What if her character really is stupid and she ruins this series for me!?
This novella was sorta a teaser for the series and I’m so pumped to see where this series is going to go. It makes me sad that I’m less than thrilled about Layla and Zayne being in the series because I really liked Jasmine and Dez but I’m hoping Layla’s way more awesome than my first impression of her. But, regardless, I will never write off a JLA series because I’m always pleasantly surprised! Can’t wait to read the first book!!

Summary: Jasmine and Dez are Gargoyles and childhood friends and crushes until Jasmine’s father announces that she and Dez will be promised to one another. The day of this announcement Dez disappears only to return three years later and propose to Jasmine. After three years of silence Jasmine is hesitant to accept him. In the hopes to convince Jasmine Dez agrees to a week long adventure where emotions run high.
Thoughts: Gargoyles, I watched Gargoyles as a kid and as such I’ve always associated Gargoyles with the Disney show and Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame so it was fun to see them in a different dynamic.I was surprised how much I liked this book. Jasmine was a fun heroine and I could sympathize with her. I also really like Dez he and Jas are adorable together and while his reasons for leaving are romantic he still should’ve told her something. The two of them are cute and their interaction with the demon by the lake was adorable. Jas also has a fun dynamic with her sister Danika and apologizing to Layla make me like her more. Seeing Layla, Zayne and Roth was also super fun it makes me really excited to start the rest of the series!
