The-Brightest-Stars-PRINT-FOR-WEB.jpg

A autora internacional Anna Todd está de volta com uma história cativante sobre uma jovem mulher em sua jornada em direção ao amor, e todos os obstáculos arremessados pela vida em cada curva.

Karina sabe as duras realidades da vida militar. Como todo mundo que cresceu em volta de uma base militar, ela conhece os ruídos de fundo que seguem um soldado da guerra para casa. Por isso ela está forjando sua vida pacata em sua pequena casa. Mas ela não virou as costas para sua família. Ela é a cola que mantém eles todos juntos – quando seu pai está em uma missão, quando seu irmão Austin, tem outro encontro com a lei.

 

Karina sabe que ela tem que cuidar de si mesma, mas ele não pode sempre consertar o que está quebrado. Mas quando a atitude de Austin piora e as reações de seu pai ficam ainda mais extremas, ela sente suas próprias bordas começarem a se desfazer. E é quando ela o conhece – um livro fechado que ela está desesperada para abrir.

Com somente 20 anos, Kael é um bonito e taciturno soldado tendo dificuldades após duas missões no Afeganistão.  Ele é fechado e machucado emocionalmente. Quieto não é nem o início de sua descrição. Mas quando Karina se acostuma com sua estável presença, ela descobre que é difícil ignorar o jeito que ele faz se sentir. Em seu tempo juntos, ela acha a calmaria que ela sempre quis e nunca encontrou. Ela abaixa sua guarda. E ela se deixa preencher as lacunas desse homem misterioso.

Mas ilusões feitas rapidamente, são igualmente destruídas. Isso é quando Karina precisa achar sua própria coragem – para desenrolar as verdades das mentiras, e decidir o que fará sobre isso.

Uma história fascinante sobre amor e mentiras, THE BRIGHTEST STARS irá ficar com você mesmo após a virada da última página.

 

International bestselling author Anna Todd returns with a gripping novel about a young woman’s journey towards love, and the obstacles life throws up at every turn.

Karina knows the harsh realities of military life. And like anyone who has grown up around an army base, she knows the background noise that follows a soldier home from war. That’s why she’s forging her own quiet life in her own little house. But she hasn’t turned her back on her family. She’s the glue that holds them together–when her father is deployed, when her brother, Austin, has another brush with the law.

Karina knows that she has to look after herself, that she can’t always fix what’s broken. But when Austin’s behavior worsens and her father’s reactions grow more extreme, Karina feels her own edges beginning to fray. That’s when she meets him–a closed book she’s desperate to open.

At just twenty, Kael is a handsome, brooding soldier struggling with the aftermath of two tours in Afghanistan. He’s emotionally damaged and closed off. Quiet doesn’t begin to describe him. But as Karina gets used to his stable presence, she finds it hard to ignore the way he makes her feel. In their time together, she finds the stillness she has always wanted and never found. She lets down her guard. And she lets herself fill in the blanks about this mysterious man.

But illusions quickly made are quickly shattered. That’s when Karina has to find her own courage–to untangle the truth from the lies, and decide what she’s going to do about it.

A riveting story about love and lies, THE BRIGHTEST STARS will stay with you long after the last page has been turned.

Excerpt – Love Machine

11/07/2018

 

Prontos para o lançamento de Love Machine? Abaixo temos a sinopse e um pequeno trecho para deixar todos com ainda mais vontade de ler!!

 

A best-friends-to lovers standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan.

After a rather uncomfortable ladies’ night involving a cucumber-wielding instructor with judgy eyes, I’m forced to admit my weaknesses. Rather than point blame at my lack of a sex life, I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work.

As a junior executive who’s clawed her way up the corporate ladder, failure is not in my vocabulary. Confident and bold in other areas of my life, I have to admit it’s time to up my bedroom game.

Asking my friend Slate Cruz is really the only option. Slate is like a walking billboard for sex. The man gets more ass than a toilet seat. There’s no way I’ll want more from this playboy than a little inspiration to revive my inner sex kitten.

Except, what happens if I do?

“I can’t believe I struck out every single time,” Keaton says with a whine. “I tried all night and not one goddamn penis wanted me to touch it. God, my fucking feet hurt so bad.”

I loop my arm around her waist, partially to comfort her and partially to hold her up as we stagger down the sidewalk to her apartment. It’s almost two in the morning, and the streets are deserted. Only the predawn stars are watching over us.

“Don’t think of it as striking out. Think of it as . . .” I wave my hand, searching for a positive spin. “Being selective. You just didn’t meet a good match, and it’s better to go home alone than with the wrong guy.”

She growls loudly in frustration. “I’m notlooking for a friggin’ husband; I’m just trying to get laid! There’s no point in being picky. Face it, Slate, it’s not me who has the high standards here. Guys just don’t like me. End of story.”

I stop in my tracks. “That’s not true.”

She sways in my arms to face me with tipsy defiance. “Really? Because literally everything that happened tonight says different.”

“So you had one bad night? Big deal. Plenty of guys like you.”

“Prove it,” she insists, her eyes brimming with need and wounded pride.

Her body is so warm, her scent so sweet, and it all feels perfectly natural to just lean in and . . .

Our lips meet. She squeaks in surprise, but before I can pull away and apologize, she kisses me back. Hard.

Her hot, soft mouth crushes against mine, opening with an intense hunger, her tongue demanding entrance, and I can’t help devouring her right back. I couldn’t stop, even if I wanted to.

Why the hell haven’t I done this before? What have I been missing out on all these years?

All my reservations and doubts are swept away in a wave of desire. No overthinking, no self-doubt, just chemistry. Pure, primal instinct. Our tongues touch and my heart rate triples because, holy fuck . . . I’m kissing my best friend.

And, fuck me, I really, really like it.

We break the kiss, both flushed and breathing a little harder, a powerful new tension buzzing between us. Goddamn . . . just that one moment of contact was enough to send every drop of blood traveling from my brain straight to my dick.

Keaton’s never given me wood, not even once. Okay, that’s a lie. There was this one time that she rubbed my shoulders and her boob brushed my arm by accident, but that was just biology. That’s all that was.

“That was . . .” I pause.

It should have felt weird, like kissing my sister. I’ve always had a strictly platonic relationship with Keaton. But I can’t lie. It was perfect. Like a textbook-perfect kiss, chemistry and attraction, and just the right amount of tongue. And I want to do it again as soon as possible.

“Yeah,” Keaton murmurs. Her gaze has darkened. She licks her lips and glances up at her apartment building. “Want to come inside?”

Revelação de Capa – Respect

11/07/2018

 

A revelação de capa de hoje é do terceiro livro da série The Breaking Point, da autora Jay Crownover. Veja abaixo a sinopse de Respect, que será lançado no dia 07/08/2018.

 

Cover designed By Hang Le

SINOPSE:

Era uma vez, um reino corrupto que tinha uma linda princesa que o chamava de lar doce lar.

Protegida de tudo de pior que o mundo tinha para oferecer, ela se apaixonou pela cidade em ruínas que queimava e ardia em torno dela. Cada canto sujo, cada sombra assustadora, encontrou um lugar dentro de seu coração. O mesmo aconteceu com um homem violento e perigoso, como as ruas que ela reivindicou como suas.

Ele era todo negócio e brutalidade, exceto quando se tratava dela. Com ela, ele era calmo, carinhoso e dolorosamente paciente.

Ele a advertiu repetidamente que não era o homem para ela, mas ela se recusou a ouvir. Ela nunca esperou que as ruas ou seu agente a machucassem, desde que ela dera seu coração tão completamente a ambos.

Deveria saber que as ruas de Point sempre seriam selvagens, assim como o homem comprometido em manter o controle dos chefões e criminosos sangrentos dessas ruas.

cegada por uma traição que a machucou tão profundamente que tinha certeza que não se curaria, a princesa fugiu do lar que amava e do homem que partiu seu coração. Jogando fora sua coro enferrujada e torcida para ajudá-la a esquecer. Tudo o que fazia era ansiar tudo o que tinha deixado para trás. Ela disse a si mesma que jamais voltaria, mas nesse reino atormentado a família é tudo. Eventualmente, ela não tem escolha a não ser voltar.

Enquanto esteve fora, as pessoas que a amavam trabalharam duramente para tornar a cidade segura, e o homem que a destruiu afundou-se ainda mais na escuridão. Voltar não deveria parecer como estar se rendendo… mas acontece. Como essa linda princesa está no escuro, o passado a ataca com uma vingança. Mas é bom lembrar que o amor de um bichinho de estimação selvagem quando cresce, pode se transformar em algo com dentes afiados e uma mordida infernal.

Ela nunca pediu as chaves do reino. Ela preferiu sair e construir o seu.

* Tradução da Sinopse pelo blog Notas Literárias

SYNOPSIS:

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who called a corrupt kingdom home sweet home.

Protected and sheltered from the worst the world had to offer, she fell in love with the crumbling city that burned and blazed around her. Every dirty corner, every scary shadow, found a place within her heart. So did a man who was violent and dangerous, just like the streets she claimed as her own.

He was all business and brutality, except when it came to her. With her, he was calm, caring, and heartbreakingly patient.

He warned her over and over that he wasn’t the man for her, but she refused to listen. She never expected either the streets or their enforcer to hurt her, since she’d given her heart so completely to both.

She should have known the streets in the Point were always going to be savage, and so was the man committed to keeping control of them in the hands of criminals and bloody kingpins.

Blindsided by a betrayal which cut so deeply she was sure the wounds would never heal, the princess fled the home she loved and the man who broke her heart. Throwing away her rusted, twisted crown was supposed to help her forget. All it did was make her long for everything she left behind. She told herself she would never go back, but in this tormented kingdom, family is everything. Eventually, she has no choice but to return.

While she was gone, the people who loved her worked hard to make the city safe, and the man who destroyed her sank deeper into the darkness. Going back shouldn’t feel like surrender… but it does. As this pretty princess hovers on the edge of the unknown, the past attacks with a vengeance. It’s a good reminder that puppy love eventually grows up and turns into something with sharp teeth and one hell of a bite.

She never asked for the keys to the kingdom. She’d much rather go out and build her own.

Resenha – The Devil Don’t Sleep

11/07/2018

 

A resenha de hoje é do livro The Devil Don’t Sleep, da autora Janine Infante Bosco. Abaixo você encontra nossa resenha em Português e Inglês, além da sinopse e links de compra.

 

Resenha

Antes de tudo, eu tenho que admitir uma curiosidade: como eu escolhi esse livro para ler e resenhar. Quando você escolhe novos autores para ler, várias coisas podem ser levadas em consideração. Capa, sinopse, indicação de um amigo, uma resenha, anúncio, e diversos outros métodos. Nesse livro, o meu foi um pouco não convencional! Achei uma autora com o mesmo nome que o meu! Vocês tem ideia do quanto é raro achar outra Janine? Quase impossível! Ao ler o nome da autora eu não resisti e escolhi esse livro para ler e resenhar. E que grata surpresa isso foi! Um livro envolvente, personagens bem desenvolvidos, suspense no nível certo e um romance de segunda chance super crível. Além de uma criança super fofa para você se apaixonar. Mesmo este sendo o quinto livro da série, não me senti perdida na história e todos os personagens já pré-existentes foram bem apresentados. Se você gosta de livros de MC, com toda a camaradagem e violência que existe nesse gênero, eu super recomendo a leitura!

Review

After an unorthodox way of choosing this book – I have the same name as the author – I was pleasant surprised with the story. A truly MC book, with sex, violence and drugs, it’s also a beautiful second chance romance with well develop characters and a lovable kid! The love story was a slow burn that let you cheering for Mac and Bas and all the suspense kept a good pace for the book.  Even if it is not the first book in the series, I didn’t feel lost and all the old characters were well introduced. I’ll for sure be reading more in this series!

SYNOPSIS

Sometimes we must let go of what was, appreciate what remains and fearlessly embrace what comes next.

Sebastian “Bas”

Born to a family of outlaws, I was destined to ride with the Satan’s Knights MC. With mayhem and havoc in my blood and chaos living deep in my soul, I learned the Devil don’t sleep. You never hear him creeping and he often comes disguised as everything you ever wanted.

I was just teenager when she first showed, masquerading as the girl of my dreams. A whiskey shootin’ spitfire who knocked me on my ass and helped me turn the town upside down. The girl who stole my heart with her smile and never gave it back. The same bitch who ruined me and turned my blood to ice.

It’s been six years since I turned my back on Mac, my family and my club. I’ve pushed her to the back of my head, wrote everyone off and damned the Kentucky charter to hell. But, where God built a church, the Devil built a chapel.
Now, her life is on the line and it’s clear I’m still a sucker for her gorgeous chaos because I’m the one riding to her rescue.

Mackenzie “Mac”

I often dreamed of what it would be like to stare into Bas’ blue eyes again. To hear his raspy voice whisper his love for me and feel his strong arms around me. After all, it’s always been in his embrace that I felt the safest.
In my dreams, he abolishes my sins and forgives me for breaking both our hearts.
But this is no dream.
I’m running from a nightmare and the one running with me, looks at me with enough anger to burn the world to ash.
Once upon a time, we were in love.
Once upon a time, it was us against the world.
Once upon a time, he didn’t look at me and see the Devil.
If only he knew the truth.
If only he knew the Devil was a broken angel with tattered wings.
An angel who sacrificed her heart and soul for him.

A Little Bit Like Desire, an all-new STANDALONE contemporary MM romance from USA Today bestselling author Brooke Blaine is coming July 23rd!

ALBLD-PRINT-FOR-WEB.jpg

A Little Bit Like Desire by Brooke Blaine

Genre: Contemporary MM Romance

Publishing Date: July 23rd, 2018

Cover Designer: Hang Le

Photographer: Eric Battershell

Model: Andrew England

What if you had everything in the world you wanted…except the man you never knew you needed?

Shaw Jennings, the seductive, enigmatic owner of Body Electric Tattoo works hard and plays even harder. He’s built a life he’s proud of, and though that doesn’t include a significant other, he’s got plenty of sexy men to keep his bed warm at night. None of them have ever made Shaw sit up and take notice for long, though. But that all changes when a famous rock star walks through his door.

Trent Knox had the world in the palm of his hand as the lead singer of TBD, one of the biggest rock bands in history…until the day he walked away. A getaway to South Haven Island seems like the perfect place for Trent to find himself again and reignite his passion for music. But what he never expects is to find his muse in a six-five, tatted-up badass whose sinful smile he can’t get out of his mind.

The only problem? Trent’s a notorious womanizer, and Shaw isn’t interested in being someone’s experiment—muse or otherwise. But in a town as small as this one, Shaw is finding it more and more difficult to keep the persistent rocker at arm’s length.

As the tension between them builds, maybe it’s time to finally give in and get carried away with something a little bit like…desire.

Sinopse:

Thorn

Desde a primeira vez que eu brinquei de exército, ainda criança, ser um militar tem sido minha vida. Como um major aeronáutico, eu liderei meus homens através de duas campanhas no Afeganistão. Mas quando meu pai foi eleito presidente, eu virei um alvo ainda maior para o inimigo – um prêmio para alguém pegar. Para garantir não só a minha segurança, quanto a dos meus homens, eu fui retirado da minha farda, enfiado em um terno Armani e colocado numa posição de gerência na empresa do meu pai. Depois de anos caminhando no deserto com um fuzil, eu estava fora da minha área de conhecimento, o que meu coordenador de transição estava mais do que feliz em me dizer todo dia, se não toda hora. A linda morena ia ser minha causa de morte, em mais de um jeito, especialmente que eu não tinha estado com uma mulher desde o meu último deslocamento. Ela está mostrando ser um dos maiores adversários que eu já batalhei.

Isabel

Na cidade do interior da Georgia em que eu nasci, ou você casa logo depois do ensino médio, ou sai correndo de lá. Eu escolhi a segunda opção e nunca olhei para trás. Depois de graduar no topo da minha turma, eu comecei a trabalhar na Callahan Corporation. Cinco anos depois e eu estou a ponto de me tornar a mais nova gerente na história do meu departamento. E todo sangue, suor e lágrimas que eu coloquei na minha carreira foram para nada, quando o filho bilionário do chefe recebeu a minha posição numa bandeja de prata. Não só isso, é esperado que eu o ajude a fazer a transição na posição que deveria ser minha. Claro, ele é bom para os olhos com seu bem definido rosto e corpo impossivelmente bem formado, mas eu não vou deixar isso me distrair. Eu espero o soldado seja bom em estratégia militir, porque sabotagem é o nome do jogo eu esterei jogando.

Blurb:

Thorn

From the first time I played army as a kid, the military has been my life. As an Airborne Major, I’d led my men through two tours in Afghanistan. But when my father was elected president, I became an even greater target for the enemy—a prize for someone to take out. To ensure not only the safety of myself, but of my men, I got stripped of my cammies, shoved into an Armani suit, and placed into a management position at my father’s company. After years of trekking through the desert with an assault rifle, I was way out of my area of expertise, which my transition coordinator was more than happy to let me know on a daily, if not hourly basis. The brunette bombshell would be the death of me in more ways than one, especially since I hadn’t been with a woman since my last deployment. She’s turning out to be one of the greatest foes I’ve ever done battle with.

Isabel

In the backwoods Georgia town I was born in, you either married right out of high school or got the hell out of town. I chose the second and never looked back. After graduating top in my class, I started working for The Callahan Corporation. Fast forward five years and I was about to become the youngest female manager in the history of my department. And then all the blood, sweat, and tears I’d put into my career were for nothing when the boss’s billionaire son was handed my position on a silver platter. Not only that, I was expected to help transition him into the job that was supposed to be mine. Sure, he’s easy on the eyes with his chiseled good-looks and impossibly built physique, but I’m not going to let that distract me. I hope soldier boy is good at military strategy because sabotage is the name of the game I’ll be playing.

Revelação de Capa – Flirting with Forever

06/07/2018

A revelação de capa de hoje é do próximo livro da autora Kendall Ryan, Flirting with Forever

O lançamento está previsto para  o dia 03 de setembro.

 

 

 

Nada de mulheres.

Nada de sexo.

Nada de encontros.

Essa é o voto que eu fiz em solidariedade com o meu melhor amigo depois que um terrível término deixou ele despedaçado.

Sem problems, certo?

Errado.

Porque ultimamente eu comecei a desenvolver sentimentos grandes e confusos para a nossa melhor amiga que nós juramos era fora de limites desde os 16 anos.

Eu não deveria notar o jeito que seu cabelo se torna dourado quando pega luz, eu não deveria ter uma meta de ver suas covinhas quando ela gargalha, eu não deveria achar o seu conhecimento em assuntos atuais tão sensual.

Eu estou quase certo que ela não sabe, o que é uma coisa boa, eu tento me convencer.
Até que uma noite, depois de vários drinks, nós vamos juntos para a cama.

Eu sou deixado com uma estranha manhã seguinte, uma das decisões mais difíceis da minha vida.

Confessar o que eu sinto, provavelmente perdendo meu dois melhores amigos no processo, ou enterrar meu sentimentos e seguir em frente?

Como pode algo tão errado parecer tão certo?

 

No women.

No sex.

No hooking up.

This is the oath I took in solidarity with my best friend after a particularly heinous breakup left him shattered.

No problem, right?

Wrong.

Because lately, I’ve begun developing big, messy feelings for our best female friend who we both swore was off-limits since we were sixteen years old.

I shouldn’t notice the way her hair turns golden when it catches the light, I shouldn’t make it a goal to see her dimples when she laughs, I shouldn’t find her knowledge on current affairs so sexy.

I’m pretty sure she’s oblivious, which is a good thing, I try to convince myself.
Until one night after too many cocktails when we fall into bed together.

I’m left with an awkward morning-after, and one of the hardest choices I’ve ever had to make.

Confess how I feel, and potentially lose both of my best friends in the process, or bury my feelings and watch her move on?

How can something so wrong feel so right?

Revelação de Capa – Downbeat

05/07/201826/07/2018

A revelação de capa de hoje é do quarto livro da série Lightning Strikes da autora Jodie Larson.
Title: Downbeat
Series: Lightning Strikes #4
Author: Jodie Larson
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 Cover Design: Indie Solutions by Murphy Rae
Release Date: July 26, 2018

 

Sinopse
Tempo forte (Downbeat) |n|: A primeira batida em uma medida, geralmente a mais forte. Fama, fortuna, viajando para diferentes cidades pelo país… Eu estou vivendo o sonho. Como o baterista da Lightning Strikes, é o meu trabalho para te viciar e você continua vindo atrás de mais. É o meu ofício, minha vocação, no que eu sou mestre.
Mesmo com tudo isso, eu continuo sendo um cara normal que quer comer em food trucks e vegetar no sofá, jogando video games até não enxergar. Tudo estava perfeito.
Pelo menos eu pensei que estava, até uma loira de arrasar entrou na minha vida e me fez questionar tudo que eu sabia. Eu a quero. Eu preciso dela. Só que ela tem medo de destaque, medo do que isso fará com ela e com quem ela ama. O muro em volta do seu coração está me mantendo de fora, mas eu sei que logo irei quebrar suas barreiras. Ela precisa saber que existe mais entre nós do que ela imagina, que a nossa química é o nosso “tempo forte” pra eternidade. Todos os caras da banda tiveram seus finais felizes. Talvez agora seja a hora do meu.
Blurb
Downbeat |n|: The first beat in a measure, often the strongest. Fame,
fortune, traveling to different cities across the country…I’m living the dream.
As the drummer for the Lightning Strikes, it’s my job to hook you in and keep
you coming back for more. It’s my craft, my calling, what I’m a master at.



Even with all that, I’m still just a normal guy who wants to eat at food
trucks and lounge on the couch, playing video games until I can’t see straight.
Everything was perfect.



At least I thought it was, until a blonde bombshell walked into my life
and made me question everything I thought I knew. I want her. I need her. Only,
she’s afraid of the spotlight, afraid of what it’ll do to her and the ones she
loves. The wall around her heart is keeping me out, but I know before long I
will break down her barriers. She needs to know that there is more to us than
what she sees, that this chemistry between us is our downbeat to forever. All
the guys in the band have their happily ever after. Maybe it’s time for
mine.

Excerpt
“Do you listen to music?” he asks out of the blue.
I blink a few times to process his strange question. “Uh,
yeah? Who doesn’t?”
Paxton chuckles. “You’d be surprised. What do you listen
to?”
“Country,” I say, without hesitation.
He scrunches his nose up, like he’d smelled something funny.
“I said music.”
“That is music.” I laugh. “What do you listen to. Wait, let
me guess.” I tap my lips. “Not ska since you’re obviously not a native
Californian.”
“The accent give me away?” Again with the head tilt and
smirk.
“Pretty much.” I’ll keep the fact that I love it to myself.
“You don’t strike me as the rap-type either.”
“Are you trying to analyze me?”
Another wave of heat coats my cheeks. “No, just using
deductive reasoning.”
“Uh huh. How about I save you the trouble. I’m a rock guy.
Alternative, to be exact. Lots of old school mixed with new.”
I stare at him blankly. “Huh?”
“Alice in Chains?”
Nothing.
“Stone Temple Pilots?”
“The who?”
He rolls his eyes. “You have to know the Cranberries.”
I shrug. “Sounds familiar. I’d have to hear something by
them.”
Paxton digs his phone out of his pocket. Tapping a few
buttons, he places it on the table between us. Low piano notes fill the space;
a sad beat following. Then, a gravely male voice spills out. You can feel the
power of the lyrics as he sings with passion and conviction.
“This isn’t the Cranberries. It’s Bad Wolves doing a cover
of “Zombie”, one of their songs, but it’s incredible,” he says, tapping the
beat onto his thigh. “He had asked for the lead singer to perform on the cover,
but she died before that could happen.”
I frown. “That’s so sad.”
He nods. “It is. But I can’t think of a better compliment to
give a band than performing one of their songs.”
Make sense. Isn’t the old saying “imitation is the highest
form of flattery”? Paxton even sings a few of the words; barely audible but
loud enough that I can hear his voice. And man, he can sing.
As the song ends, and the words really sink in, I find
myself in new territory. I’ve always enjoyed music, but not like this. Paxton,
on the other hand, has a real passion. It’s obvious in his movements, the way
he closes his eyes during the powerful parts of the song. I listen to fill the
void. He listens to fill his soul.
Before I can dive into anything else, duty calls. The
annoying bell chimes, bringing me back to reality.
I stand and flash Paxton a real smile. “Thanks for the talk.
It was nice to formally meet you again.”
“Hey,” he says, jumping to his feet. “Any chance you don’t
have a rule about going out with customers?”
Chewing on my bottom lip, I debate my answer. Technically, I
don’t have any rules about dating except one. I just…don’t.
“Not a good idea,” I say.
As I walk toward the counter, he calls out behind me, “You
know I’m persistent, right?”
With a laugh, I ignore him as best I can and help the
gentleman at the counter. Dressed in a business suit with perfectly coiffed
hair, I’m guessing executive. A far cry from the man still staring at me
surreptitiously over his book.
And yet, the suit doesn’t do anything for me. If anything,
it reminds me of Craig and his MBA friends. Perfectly polished and needing to
impress everyone.
Paxton’s hazel eyes don’t seem like such an issue now. It
was stupid to begin with, considering he’s the exact opposite of Craig.
“What? I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that,” I say, trying to
focus on what I’m supposed to be doing.
Mr. Suit gives a cocky grin, as if I was already a sure
thing.
“Well, I was hoping to get a caramel macchiato, but I guess
I could get your number instead.”
Ugh. Creep. “Unfortunately, my number isn’t on the menu, but
I can grab the macchiato for you. Small, medium, or large?”
He straightens his tie and runs a hand down it, drawing
attention to his well-cut torso. “Are you sure it’s not on the menu?”
“Yep,” I say, letting the irritation come through my voice.
“Positive.”
I turn and make his drink without another word. He needs to
go. I’m so caught into my head that I don’t notice the turned-up corner of the
mat. Time slows almost to a stop as I have an out-of-body experience. The cup
tumbles through the air. The light brown liquid streams out as the black lid
flies off. Then, in either a case of irony or karma, Mr. Suit gets covered in
the sticky sweet liquid.
“Goddamn it!” he yells, frantically swiping his hands
against his now soaked jacket. “I have a business meeting in a half hour.”
“I’m so sorry,” I say, desperate to hold back my laugh. I’m
not trying to be glib, but I have a horrible habit of laughing in uncomfortable
situations. Funerals, when people fall or injure themselves…all of it sends me
into a fit of giggles. And I really do feel horrible about ruining this poor
man’s suit, but after his actions, I can’t say I’m too sorry about it.
“Just forget it.” He storms toward the door, whipping it
open and practically slamming it behind him.
One look from Paxton is all it takes to break the dam to
release the giggles.
“Served him right,” he says with a nod.
“Yeah, but I do feel bad about it.”
He shuts his book again. “Don’t. He was a douche canoe and
didn’t know how to take no for an answer.”
I quirk a brow. “Like you?”
“I’m different.” Without warning, he stands and closes the
distance, leaving only the counter separating us. “You’ll see.”
Paxton gives me a wink and leaves me in a stupor as he heads
out the door.
Somehow I get the feeling this won’t be the last time I see
him. The thought thrills me more than it should.

Resenha – The Downside of Love

05/07/2018

A resenha de hoje é do segundo livro do dueto Blue Line da autora Meghan Quinn! Leia abaixo nossa resenha e as sinopses dos dois livros deste dueto. A resenha do primeiro livro você encontra aqui.

 

Resenha

Eu li esse livro há 9 dias e posso dizer que ainda não terminei de processar tudo que ocorreu. Deixei para escrever essa resenha no último minuto, tentando ao máximo colocar em palavras tudo que senti lendo essa história. Eu sinceramente não sabia nem quantas estrelas dar assim que terminei de ler. Não conseguia determinar de tinha amado ou odiado o livro. Cheguei à conclusão de que amei o livro, odiei um de seus personagens. Esse é o tipo de história ame ou odeie. Em que cada pessoa que leu vai ter um ponto de vista e defendê-lo com unhas e dentes. Cada um enxergará uma história de amor diferente, de acordo com suas experiências de vida e no que ela acredita ser certo. Sabe aquele tipo de livro que você não pode falar nada senão você estará estragando a grande surpresa da história? Então, The Downside of Love é isso multiplicado por um milhão. Como fazer uma resenha que você não pode falar nada da história? Difícil né? Por isso eu deixo vocês com as minhas emoções sobre o livro e com o conselho de ler esse dueto. Se você já leu o primeiro livro, principalmente o chocante epílogo, você deve pensar que tem uma ideia do que acontece no segundo livro. Sinto te dizer que você estará embarcando numa grande surpresa! Cada página que eu virava era uma emoção diferente e um soco no estômago ainda maior! Mais uma vez eu digo, leia esse dueto que você não vai se arrepender! Minha única critica real, e o motivo de eu ter tirado uma estrela, é que eu passei boa parte do livro confundida pelas datas e mesmo depois de reler o primeiro livro e checar várias vezes os eventos, eu ainda acho que tem algo errado em sua timeline.

Review

I’ve finished this book 9 days ago and have yet to digest this story. It was such a different and impact-full book that it was almost impossible to decide how to rate it. In the end, I reduced one star because of the timeline, as I’m yet not convinced about the dates that all happened. I had so many questions about the story and was feeling utterly confused with it all, but I decided that it was Meghan’s wish, to get us to confront our believes and everyone of the readers would interpret it on a different way. It’s so strange writing a review where you can’t tell anything or you’ll spoil it for the reader. I can’t say names, events, anything. The only thing that I have to say is that you need to read this duet. If you have already read book one, I can say you are going on a wild ride on book two and everything you  thing will happen, you’ll totally mistaken!

Essa história não é sobre um triângulo amoroso. Não tem nenhum triângulo envolvido.

Essa não é uma história sobre uma gravidez acidental. Mas um bebeê com ela… eu teria.

Essa não é uma história sobre mentiras e trapaças, mesmo eu tendo as vezes mentido para mim mesmo.

Não, essa é a minha história.

Uma história sobre sacrifícios.

Uma história sobre um homem que se apaixonou pela garota errada.

Uma história eu desejava nunca ter que contar.

Essa é uma história sobre o verdadeiro significado do lado negativo do amor.

 

This isn’t a story about a love triangle. There is no triangle involved.

This isn’t a story about an accidental pregnancy. Although having a baby with her . . . I would.

This isn’t a story about lies and deception, even though at times I’ve lied to myself.

No, this is my story.

A story about sacrifice.

A story about a man who fell in love with the wrong girl.

A story I wish I never had to tell.

This is a story about the true meaning of the downside of love.

Escondido na base da Rocky Mountais, vivia um menino com somente um sonho: deixar essa casa quebrada e virar alguém.

Ser o herói de alguém.

Esse menino era eu – Colby Brooks. Só que eu não sou mais aquele menino.

Meus sonhos podem ser os mesmos, mas minha realidade não.

Sou mais inteligente. Mais forte. Um homem.

E aprendi tempos atrás, que a única maneira de obter meus sonhos era evitar distrações – a qualquer custo.

Foco. Resolução. Determinação.

Mas foi somente uma noite. Uma noite e toda minha vida… mudou.

Uma noite em que eu colidi de cabeça com a maior distração da minha vida. Rory Oaks.

Inteligente. Charmosa. Bela.

Rory mudou tudo.

Rapidamente, minha mente começou a mudar.

Cada beijo fazia desaparecer décadas de sonhos.

E com um único incidente, eu voei fora de prumo.

 

Tucked away at the base of the Rocky Mountains lived a little boy with one singular dream: leave this broken and battered home and become someone.

Be somebody’s hero.

That boy was me—Colby Brooks. Except I’m not that same little boy anymore.

My dreams might still be the same, but my reality isn’t.

I’m smarter. Stronger. A man.

And I learned a long damn time ago, the only way to achieve my dreams was to avoid distractions—at any cost.

Focus. Resolve. Determination.

But all it took was one single night. One night and my entire life…changed.

One night had me colliding head first with the biggest distraction of my life; Rory Oaks.

Smart. Charming. Beautiful.

Rory changed everything.

Quickly, my one-track mind started to bend.

Each kiss faded decade-long dreams.

And with one single incident, I fly off course.

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Resenha – Hammered

03/07/201802/07/2018

 

A resenha de hoje é de Hammered, o primeiro livro da nova séria da autora Jasinda Wilder, Dab Bod.

Resenha

De acordo com o GoodReads, esse é meu livro número 48 da Jasinda. Se eu tivesse que apostar, ainda diria que devo ter lido mais alguns que eu acabei não marcando ainda. Como sempre, Jasinda consegue me surpreender como ela consegue escrever em tantos gêneros diferentes, mas manter sua voz.
Dad Bod é uma série com personagens mais velhos, na casa dos 40 anos, uma fatia tão pequena do mercado de romance.
Hammered é uma excelente introdução à serie, com personagens adoráveis, cenas super quentes e fáceis de você se enxergar no lugar deles.
Posso dizer que passei o livro inteiro com um sorriso no rosto, e o mesmo sorriso está aqui enquanto relembro de tudo para escrever essa resenha.
Imogen e Jesse são um casal que vai conquistar o seu coração.
Mal posso esperar para ler os próximos livros da série.

Review

I always admire how Jasinda can write in so many genres, but you can always hear her voice. According to GoodReads this is my book #48 by Jasinda and I can say it was been as good as always.
Dad Bod characters are not your common romance characters. They are in their forties, so it’s so much easier to relate to them.
Jasse and Imogen chemistry is of the charts and their banter is amazing! I read the whole book with a smile on my face.
Hammered is a great introduction to the series and I can’t wait to read more.

A good job well done is one phone call away, so call Dad Bod Contracting today!
It started with a window that was jammed shut. Pretty simple, right? All I wanted was to open the windows while I tidied the house. I’d been after my no-good husband to do it for months, but he never did. And then he shacked up with his secretary, leaving me with a pile of bills, husband-free for the first time in ten years, and with a house that was falling apart.
The ad popped up on the side of my social media feed—a local contracting agency willing to do pretty much anything. Since I don’t really know a screwdriver from a ratchet, I gave them a call.
And let me tell you, the ad was NOT lying. Jesse O’Neill can do it ALL…and looks amazing doing it.
He fixed my window, so I called him back to fix the sagging, splintery front steps. Which led to him fixing my kitchen sink. And then he recarpeted my stairs. And then fixed the squeak in my bed.
He was supposed to fix my house, not my rusty, sputtering libido. And certainly not my broken heart.
