Resenha – Immaterial Defense

30/09/2018

Mais uma resenha para vocês! Dessa vez temos a resenha de Immaterial Defense, o quarto livro da série Once and Forever da autora Lauren Stewart. Boa leitura!

Another review for you! This time we have our review of Immaterial Defense, the fourth book in the Once and Forever Series, by author Lauren Stewart! Enjoy!


Sinopse

Synopsis

Ela está completamente sozinha na escuridão.

Ele está iluminando o palco.

Mas nem mesmo a mais forte das luminárias não consegue alcançar as sombras de uma alma quebrada.

Declan

Qualquer pseudo roqueiro sonha sobre o dia em que fãs alucinados irão lotar seus shows. Mas o quanto mais as pessoas me veneram como um tipo de Deus da música, mais eu descubro o motivo de cantores serem chamados de “intérpretes”. Eu sou somente um impostor. Um falso.

Eu preciso de alguma coisa real. Alguma coia que irá quebrar o glamour revoltante que se alastrou por todas as partes da minha vida. E por uma noite perfeita, eu achei a Sara.

E então ela fugiu.

Sara

Nenhuma mulher sã teria deixado Declan depois de somente uma noite. Mas o deixar foi o mais seguro para nós dois.

Eu passei tanto tempo enterrando minha antiga pessoa no passado, tentando apagar a pessoa vulnerável que eu costumava ser. Eu estou mais esperta agora – homens são perigosos, e relacionamentos mais ainda.

Mas quanto mais tempo eu passo longe dele, mais eu quero voltar.

Eu posso acabar despedaçada novamente. Ou talvez, quem sabe, ele será quem me ajudará a colar minhas peças.

She’s all alone in the darkness.
He’s lighting up the stage.
But not even the brightest spotlight can reach the shadows of a broken soul. 
 
Declan
 
Every wanna-be rocker dreams of the day when crazed fans will pack their shows. But the more people worship me as some kind of musical god, the more I realize why singers are called “performers.” I’m just a pretender. A fake. 
 
I need something real. Something to break through the revolting glamour that’s bled into every part of my life. And for one perfect night, I found that in Sara. 
 
Then she ran. 
 
Sara
 
No sane woman would’ve ever walked away from Declan Hollis after only one night. But  
walking away from him was the safest move for both of us.
 
I’ve spent so much time burying my old self in the past, trying to erase the vulnerable person I used to be. I’m smarter now—men are dangerous, and relationships are doubly so. 
 
But the more time I spend away from him, the more I want to go back.
 
I may end up shattered all over again. Or maybe, just maybe, he’ll be the one to help me pick up the pieces.

 

Resenha

Review

Eu sempre gostei de histórias inspiradas em contos de fadas, e essa não foi exceção.

Tudo começou com uma noitada. Ou eu deveria dizer que essa noitada foi o catalisador de tudo?

Declan está decepcionado com a fama, mas não quer decepcionar e abandonar seus colegas de banda.

Sara está tão entranhada nas sombras de seu passado que ela não consegue enxergar a luz, ou o amor.

Podem eles se ajudar? Podem eles mudar suas vidas para melhor, juntos?

A história de Declan e Sara é sombria, triste e enrolada. Mas ao mesmo tempo é leve, engraçada e cheia de amor. As vezes eu queria esganar os dois, mostrar o que estava na cara deles e fazê-los enxergar a verdade, mas foi maravilhoso seguir a jornada deles. Se você gosta de livros que te deixam pensando mesmo depois de virar a última página, super recomendo essa leitura.

I’ve always loved fairy tales retelling and this one was no exception.

It all started with a one night stand. Or should I say it was the catalyst for everything?

Declan don’t want to be in the limelight anymore, but he has bandmates he can’t abandon.

Sara is so much inside the shadows of her past, the se cannot see the light of love.

Can them help each other? Can they change their lives for the better?

Declan and Sara story is dark, twisted and sad. But at the same time, it is funny, light and full of love. At some times I wanted to get some sense into them, specially Sara, but it was great to follow their journey to love and self-worth. If you like book that will keep you thinking of it days latter, this book is for you.

My bandmates and I grabbed a couple of burritos in the Mission District—cheap, delicious, and as gigantic as Pete claimed his dick was. A fun fact that ruined everybody’s appetite and no one believed. No one was willing to verify Pete’s claim either.

Somehow, our conversation maneuvered to the sad state of my love life. I’m fairly sure Trevor had guided us there, if for no other reason than to give me shit about how pathetic it was.

I sighed and pushed my food away, almost untouched. “If five years ago, anyone had said, ‘Hey, Dec. How would you like it if every woman you met wanted to sleep with you, just so she could tell her friends she’d banged the lead singer of a band?’ My response would’ve been: ‘Did you say something after ‘every woman I met wanted to sleep with me?’ And I wouldn’t have cared what the answer was. Now, knowing women are using me is just depressing.”

“Fuck that,” Trevor said. “I swear to the gods of music, if a woman wants to use me for sex, you sure as hell won’t hear me complaining about it.”

“That’s the difference between you and Declan,” Pete said, already smiling. “You said, ‘if a woman wants to use you.’ And that’s a pretty good-sized ‘if’.”

Everyone other than Trevor laughed. It made sense—he couldn’t see his own expression.

“Shit,” Pete continued. “No shame in it—none of us sees the amount of action Declan could.”

“If he weren’t such a pussy, you mean.”

“Obviously.”

“Hey!” I said it loud enough to know that they’d all heard me. So they were just pretending not to.

There was no way to explain it so they’d understand. Or not think I was insane. I’d guess that would be the natural reaction to a guy talking about how he feels like he’s two separate people—the one he’s always been and the one everyone expects him to be. It’s even sadder when the guy realizes that almost everyone he meets nowadays likes the fake him more than the real one.

Trevor would’ve gone cross-eyed if I told him that, until that night with Sara, sex just wasn’t as good as it had been before anyone knew who we were. 

It was a conclusion I didn’t come to without a lot of rigorous testing, by the way. My folks didn’t raise a quitter. 

But it became a little unpleasant when every time I fucked someone, I couldn’t get over the idea that it wasn’t really me who was getting laid. It was the guy I played onstage. 

We might have looked the same, but every day he seemed more and more foreign to me. We didn’t wear the same clothes, use the same words, share the same values. I felt more like an actor now than a musician. Slipping into a role as I slipped into a costume that had been picked out and prepped by someone who’d barely ever spoken to me.

That was what made my one night with Sara stick with me. Not only was it physically amazing, Sara hadn’t met Declan Hollis, the lead singer of Self Defense who someone else had designed. She’d met Declan Hollis, the man who just wanted to be normal, get a house somewhere quiet where my dog didn’t have to run on concrete and shit on a four-by-four square of fake grass.

And she’d liked that Declan. She’d reminded me that he was enough, that he was attractive and could make someone laugh.

“Wait a sec. Does that shit really bother you?” Trevor asked. “Seriously? Fuck, that’s the only reason I’m here. If women didn’t want to use me to say they’d fucked a rockstar, I’d be sitting in front of a bonfire on the beach somewhere, drinking beer and playing somebody else’s tunes.”

“First of all, you’re not a rockstar.”

“Not yet. And luckily, these girls don’t think that far ahead.”

I grumbled but couldn’t disagree. “Secondly, you’d be playing someone else’s tunes? What the fuck is wrong with our tunes?”

He laughed. “Don’t worry, bro. The writing is flawless. It’s just not really my style.”

Again, I couldn’t disagree, at least with the second part. It wasn’t my style either. I’d stopped writing and doing what I wanted to a while ago.

Sobre o autor / About the author

Lauren Stewart grew up reading Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, James Clavell, Piers Anthony, and Agatha Christie, which explains why she can’t seem to stick to one genre at a time.
She got to the more romantic stuff pretty late, but paranormal romance was what changed her from an obsessed reader into an obsessed reader and writer. Her writing style comes from a mash-up of all her early favorites and her new ones, women like JR Ward, Karen Marie Moning, Alice Clayton, Emma Scott, and Janet Evanovich. Wow, how much would you pay to be invited to that dinner party?

 

Lauren wants to make people think, cry, and giggle, not necessarily all at the same time (although it’s great when it happens). In every one of her books, you’ll find elements of other genres – fantasy, mystery, romance, paranormal, suspense, YA, women’s literature, all with a touch of humor.

 

Because what doesn’t kill us should make us laugh.

Resenha – Strong

30/09/2018

Nossa resenha de hoje é de Strong, uma novella no mundo de Stage Dive da autora Kylie Scott. Aproveite!

Today’s review is about Strong, a novella by Kylie Scott in her Stage Dive world. Enjoy!

Sinopse

Synopsis

Quando a garota dos seus sonhos é praticamente um pesadelo.

Como chefe de segurança da Stage Dive, uma das maiores bandas de rock do mundo, Sam Knowles tem total experiência em lidar com problemas. Mas a mimada Martha Nicholson é provavelmente a pior coisa que ele já encontrou. A bonita encrenqueira diz estar reformada, mas Sam sabe que não deve pensar com o que está dentro de suas calças. Infelizmente, não é tão fácil fazer o seu coração se comportar.

Martha tem tido seu radar no sério segurança por anos. Quieto e conservativo, ele não é nem remotamente o seu tipo. Então por que ela não consegue tirá-lo da sua mente? Ela é mais do que a garota festeira usando Louboutin dos anos anteriores. Talvez seja a hora de deixá-lo saber disso e lidar com essa coisa entre eles.

 

When the girl of your dreams is kind of a nightmare.

As head of security to Stage Dive, one of the biggest rock bands in the world, Sam Knowles has plenty of experience dealing with trouble. But spoilt brat Martha Nicholson just might be the worst thing he’s ever encountered. The beautiful troublemaker claims to have reformed, but Sam knows better than to think with what’s in his pants. Unfortunately, it’s not so easy to make his heart fall into line.

Martha’s had her sights on the seriously built bodyguard for years. Quiet and conservative, he’s not even remotely her type. So why the hell can’t she get him out of her mind? There’s more to her than the Louboutin wearing party-girl of previous years, however. Maybe it’s time to let him in on that fact and deal with this thing between them.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Resenha

Review

Eu devo admitir que no início eu estava meio apreensiva em ler uma história sobre Martha, depois de tudo que ela tinha aprontado com Dave. Mas eu tinha que ter fé em Kylie e saber que ela nos entregaria uma boa história. Eu estava certa.

Posso dizer que agora eu amo a Martha? Não, mas eu posso dizer que a entendo melhor e posso ver como ela realmente mudou. Mas eu amo mais ainda Sam. Com seu jeito sério, ele toma conta de todo mundo e consegue ver como Martha funciona e o que ela precisa dele.

Foi uma história deliciosa de ler e deu para matar um pouco a saudade desse grupo maravilhoso de personagens. E claro, ver Mal sendo Mal. Como não amá-lo? Eu realmente espero que essa novella seja uma porta de entrada para mais um spin-off de Stage Dive. Já posso até imaginar a história do Adam sendo escrita.

I have to admit that I wasn’t sure I’d like this book. How could I like Martha after all she did with Dave? But I knew I had to have faith in Kylie. That she would always deliver a good story. I was right.

Am I now in love with Martha? No, but I can say I understand her more and like what I see of the “new” her. But I’m completely in love with Sam.  His patience, his love for everyone and his understanding  about how Martha works.

It was a really good story and I loved seeing everyone and most of all, seeing Mal being Mal. I hope this can be another spin-off coming our way. I already want to read Adam’s book!

 

Excerpt

“Ooh, busted,” said Lizzy. “The bodyguard caught you looking.”

“Shut it.” I inched my chin up a bit, trying not to frown because frowning gave you lines. “Sam and I have known each other for years and nothing has ever happened. You’re completely wrong about this.”

“Am I?”

“Yes, there’s nothing between us.”

“So that’s why you were staring at him?”

I chose not to answer that. “And you know he prefers to be called executive protection officer instead of bodyguard.”

At this, Lizzy burst out giggling, a malicious glee in her eyes. No wonder I liked my sister-in-law these days.

Ben shot us both an irritated glance. We both ignored it.

Of course, I’d known Sam would probably be here. Rock stars going out in public could be a delicate thing. People had a tendency to get overexcited. And while one person wanting an autograph wasn’t a problem, twenty or thirty of them suddenly swarming definitely could be. Having once been part of the entourage, I’d seen it happen to Ben and his fellow Stage Dive band members enough times to be wary. And you couldn’t get by with ordinary security. Rock stars needed protection from their over-zealous fans, but on the other hand they didn’t want the fans roughed up or hurt in any way. It required a delicate balance: control, experience, and a whole gamut of scary physical skills. Hence Sam.

Still, Portland seemed generally less crazy than the good old days back in LA. All of the guys seemed calmer and more settled away from the constant craziness of the party scene. Not to mention the effect of all of the wives/partners and various offspring. The biggest rock band in the world had officially been domesticated.

It was kind of cute. Or sad. I don’t know.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to stir you,” she lied. “What do you think of your brother’s new musical bromance?”

On the small stage set up in the corner of the room, a young man wailed his heart out while playing an acoustic guitar. Much angst about a girl who only called him after midnight. Trust a rockster to turn a simple booty call into a heartbreaking ballad. The song was damn good though. He had talent. If only I hadn’t had my fill of the type when I was younger. The kid looked to be in his early to mid-twenties. Lanky with lots of tattoos. Your typical rock ’n roll Prince Charming. Gag. These days my type ran more toward…actually, what I needed or wanted in a male was a total mystery.

And my gaze did not stray back to Sam. That did not happen.

Today we have the review and an excerpt of The Ocean Between Us. Enjoy!

Resenha

Review

Que início maravilhoso para uma série! Esse foi meu primeiro livro escrito pela Michele e eu estou feliz que eu resolvi dar uma nova chance a uma nova autora para mim. O livro tem o perfeito balanço entre romance e suspense, fazendo ao mesmo tempo você torcer pelo casal e querer descobrir toda a trama policial. Emma é uma heroína forte e determinada, mesmo com tudo que ela sofreu nas mãos de sua mãe, ou até mesmo por esse motivo. Aiden é o namorado perfeito que todos queriam ter, apoiando Emma em tudo e a ajudando a sair de sua concha. No início eu pensei que o relacionamento dele estava ocorrendo rápido demais, mas depois entendi que isso era necessário para Emma, com sua sede de viver e aproveitar sua liberdade. Uma história crível, com vilões que amamos odiar, bons amigos e familiares. Mal posso esperar para ler os outros livros da série. Wow! What a great start for a series!! It’s my first book by Michele and I’m really glad that I gave a chance to it. A perfect balance between romance and suspense, it keeps you guessing what will happen from the beginning. Emma was so strong, even if with all that she had to endure in her life. Aiden was the perfect book boyfriend. It was good to see Emma getting out of her shell and how she was helped. Sometimes I thought their relationship was too fast, too soon, but at the same time I understood she needed to live for once in her life. If a credible story, hated villains and great family and friends, I can’t wait to read more about this group of characters.

Amazon

Sinopse / Synopsis

Dying to experience life, I cross an ocean to get away from my fears. I find my safe haven in the form of Detective Aiden Holden. He shows me what love is, but then our lives collide. Our little world shatters, and I’m caught in the crossfire.

I’m forced to return home, to let go of the only person who has made me feel like I could be more.

How do you return to a cage once you’ve tasted freedom?

My only hope is that Aiden will cross an ocean for me.

 

Excerpt

 

When I open the front door, Emma forces a smile to her lips, but I can see it doesn’t reach her eyes.
It feels like I’ve lost her, and my heart clenches painfully.
Emma steps inside, her body tense as she glances around the foyer, and up at the stairs.
I hate that she’s uncomfortable in my home.
Having little to no strength left after the nightmare of a week, it feels like I’m about to break.
“Emma.” I close the door and take a step closer to her. “Tell me what happened. What you’re feelin’ and thinkin’? Let me help you.”
My eyes get stuck on the purple discoloration around her neck.
I know from experience what causes marks like that. Emma was choked. It explains why her voice is practically gone.
Rage makes me bite the words out, “What happened to your neck?”
When she presses her lips firmly together, refusing to talk, I take a step closer to her. Her body instantly goes tense, and she clenches her hands.
Fuck, not that.
“Emma, what did they do to you?” My voice is low with fear.
“Nothing,” she whispers.
I can’t stand the distance between us and I take the few steps separating us. I take hold of Emma’s clenched hands and pin them to my chest. She won’t open them or look at me.
“Please, Em. Let me share the pain. Let me help you through this.” She shakes her head, her breath catching in her throat. I brush my fingers over her cheek and lean closer. “Who hit you?”
She opens her mouth, and at first, only a rasp of air comes out.
It hurts like hell to see her like this.
Then she presses her forehead against my chest and finally whispers, “Colton.”
Fucking bastard. I wish I’d killed him when I had the chance.
I wrap my arms around her, wishing I could give her all of the strength I have left. I’m used to being in control, to being able to handle everything, but all my power has been stripped away from me.
Pressing a kiss to her temple, I softly say, “Tell me what they did so I can make them pay.”
She pushes against my chest, and I take a step back.
Her face is tight with anger. “You think you can actually do something about it?”
I frame her face and make her look at me. “Emma, I can. I’m not your dad. I’ll prosecute them with everything I have.”
“This is not about my fucking dad,” she screams, her voice breaking over the words. “You can’t do anything about it, Aiden. It fucking happened. It’s done. Nothing you do will change that.”
Her arms wrap around her waist, and hunching over, a broken cry tears from her. My heart shatters at the sight of her crumbling right before my eyes.
I move forward, but she sags to the floor, whimpering, “Don’t touch me.”
Feeling helpless as fuck, I watch the woman I love with every single beat of my heart, fall apart.
I sit down beside her, needing to let her know I’m not going anywhere.

Sinopse

Synopsis

Quem nós éramos…

Dois adolescentes desajeitados – o solitário e o nerd, tentando achar seu lugar no mundo. Colocados juntos na aula de marcenaria, nós não sabiamos nada um do outro, exceto que queríamos saber tudo. Até que um momento marcante mudou tudo e o que nos foi deixado foram sonhos despedaçados e corações quebrados.

Com doze anos de questões não respondidas alimentando nossa necessidade desesperada pela verdade, nós precisamos descobrir se quem nós éramos irá destruir quem nós somos.

Who We Were…

Two awkward teenagers – the loner and the nerd, trying to find our place in the world. Paired in wood shop, we knew nothing of each other, except that we wanted to know everything. Then one life altering moment changed it all and we were left with shattered dreams and broken hearts.

Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream.
Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.

Excerpt:

Elodie sat down on the couch and tucked her feet under her. Her petite body was changing, her belly starting to swell. I wondered where the baby would sleep in my little house. Elodie’s favorite American show at the moment was Scandal. She was binge-watching it for the first time.

“What season are you on now?” I asked her.

“Two,” she said softly.

She was being so quiet. I pulled my shoes off and it wasn’t until I dropped one on the floor and something moved in my peripheral vision that I realized another person was in my house.

A noise, a little like a shriek, flew from my mouth when I saw him. He was staring at me, the one-syllable client from earlier. He was sitting in my chair—the dark pink, used-to-be-red one that my nana gave me before we moved to Georgia.

“Um, hey?” I said when my heart stopped doing little flips from the aftershock of surprise. How did I not see a whole human in my living room? I had been feeling spacey a lot the last few weeks, but that day was another level.

“How was work?” Elodie asked, looking at the TV while her fingers picked at the fabric on her pants, and then back to me.

“Good …”

I stared at this Kael guy and he stared back at me. When I would recall this later, the first time he was inside my little white house, the memory would change from a burning pain to pure bliss and back—again and again and again. But when it happened in real life, it happened fast. Before he was anything to me—before he was everything—he was just a quiet stranger with a blank face and distant eyes. There was something indomitable about him, something so closed, that I couldn’t even begin to make up a life for him. He hated peppermint oil and hadn’t wanted me to touch his leg—those were the only clues I had to who he was.

27/09/201827/09/2018

I’m excited to announce the release of RHYTHM & BLU, the newest
contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author S.L. Jennings.
This standalone second chance romance was inspired by Syreeta’s love of
90’s r&b music and features an up and coming music journalist who has
the assignment of a lifetime. An exclusive interview with Riot Blu, the
soulful blue-eyed superstar who also happens to be her first love. To make
this a uniquely immersive reading experience, the RHYTHM & BLU ebook
will contain in-story links to listen to songs that tell Rox & Riot’s
story while you read!

 

Sinopse

Synopsis

Eu me apaixonei por um garoto que a risada era a trilha sonora do meu coração. E eu toquei essa trilha repetidamente até que as luminárias da vida piscaram e o levaram embora.

Riot Blu. Top 40 fuckboi. Sacaneador de Paparazzi. O desastre de reality TV.

Mas há tempos, ele era o garoto da casa ao lado.

Há tempos, ele era toda nota em cada música nas fitas cassetes que ele fazia para mim.

Agora ele está de volta. Muito mais arrogante. Um pouco mais torturado. E mais bonito do que qualquer memória que eu tinha poderia fazer justiça.

Eu sei que nada bom pode vir de eu estar perto dele. Mas Seattle não é tão grande, e se eu for conseguir a entrevista mais importante da minha carreira, eu tenho que engolir meu orgulho, tomar o caminho da minha memória e concordar com os seus termos. Me mudar para a casa dele. Mergulhar na sua vida – a vida que ele me deixou para trás para construir. E tentar não me apaixonar novamente pelo homem que rasgou meu mundo ao meio.

I fell in love with a boy whose laughter was the soundtrack of my heart. And I played it on repeat until life’s street lights flickered on and stole him away.

Riot Blu. Top 40 fuckboi. Paparazzi player. Trashy reality TV trainwreck.

But once upon a time, he was the boy next door.

Once upon a time, he was every note in every song on every mix tape he had ever made for me.

Now he’s back. A lot more arrogant. A little more tortured. And more gorgeous than any memory I held dear could do justice.

I know no good can come from being anywhere near him. But Seattle is only so big, and if I’m going to get the exclusive of my career, I have to swallow my pride, take that dreaded walk down memory lane and agree to his terms. Move in with him. Immerse myself in his life—the life he left me to build. And try not to fall back in love with the man who ripped my world in two.

Resenha

Review

Que livro fofo!! Mesmo sendo estranho ler livros de Natal/frio com o calor que está aqui por ser Primavera, eu adoro livros focados nas comemorações de final de ano. Toda a parte focada em família, amigos e celebrações, me fazem curtir ainda mais. Hot Winter Nights não foi uma exceção. Lucas e Molly formam um lindo casal e foi delicioso acompanhar eles se apaixonarem. Lucas ganhou grandes pontos por sempre acreditar em Molly. Se você gosta de romances clássicos, vizinhas velhinhas e malucas e grandes amizades, esse livro é para você! What a cute holiday book! At the same time it’s strange for me to read Winter books during the Spring/Summer, I love to read these holiday books with all the family vibe and cute scenes. Hot Winter Nights was no exception. Lucas e Molly were hot together and it was a blast  to see they falling in love. I loved how Lucas believed in her skills and helped her in everything. If you want to read a classic romance, with elderly crazy elfs and a lot of friends and family, this book is a great option.

Excerpt

“You’re staring at me funny,” he said.

Probably because she was confused over how badly she wanted him. Okay, not so suddenly, but still, denial had been her friend and now that friend had deserted her. “No, I’m not.”

“Yes, you are. You’re staring at me like …”

She turned her back on him and grimaced to herself, knowing exactly how she’d been staring at him. “Like I’m annoyed by your presence?” she asked.

“Like I’m dinner.”

She closed her eyes. “Oh, please,” she said on a low laugh. “I’ve slept with you now. Trust me, I don’t need a repeat.”

“So you keep saying.”

His voice sounded right in her ear now. He’d moved, shifting close enough that his chest nearly brushed the entire length of her spine. She could feel the heat of him and nearly moaned. Nearly. But she caught herself. It was just that his body heat was soaking into her and she found herself wanting to back into him. He smelled amazing and he was still dressed from his job, and that was a shocking turn on too. As was the sexy smirk she heard in his voice.

Which didn’t make any sense. From the time she’d come into her sexuality as a teenager, complete with all the baggage of her kidnapping still hanging over her head, she’d only ever felt comfortable when she was the one doing the charming and chasing. She’d dated guys here and there, all very different from her brother and men like Lucas. They’d been … beta. Not pushovers, but non-threatening. Nice and sweet. Emotionally available.

The exact opposite of Lucas.

But the truth was, no one had ever really invested in her, and she wasn’t sure Lucas was the investing type either. In fact, she was fairly positive he wasn’t, but it still felt a little bit like he was chasing her and she wasn’t at all certain what to do with that.

About the Author

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jill Shalvis writes warm, funny, sexy contemporary romances and women’s fiction. An Amazon, BN & iBooks bestseller, she’s also a two-time RITA winner and has more than 10 million copies of her books sold worldwide.

Jill lives with her family in a small town in the Sierras full of quirky characters (Any resemblance to the quirky characters in her books is mostly coincidental). She does most of her writing on her deck surrounded by more animals than humans. Which is quite astonishing considering she’s a city girl who was plucked from the wilds of L.A. to the wilds of the Sierra’s. Most of her books come from a combination of hard work, cookies, and hot guy pics, and not necessarily in that order.

Jill often travels to reader weekends & conventions where she LOVES getting to meet and hang-out with readers. The only problem being she tends to get lost in her hotels. So if you ever see Jill Shalvis roaming the halls, someone please return her immediately.

Today our review is about Dating the Enemy by Nicole Williams! Enjoy

Sinopse/Synopsis

 

Resenha

Review

Mais uma vez Nicole Williams nos entrega um delicioso livro que não queremos largar! Dating the Enemy trás um ar fresco para as histórias de inimigos-para-amantes, com um reality show sobre amor e como provar quem está certo. Hannah com seus ideais românticos, ou Brooks com sua realidade nua e crua sobre amor e relacionamentos? Quem sairá vencedor? Será que existe a possibilidade de um empate? Foi uma delícia acompanhar essa comédia romântica, com seus momentos engraçados, emocionais e maravilhosas amizades. Leitura leve, li tudo de uma só vez e fiquei querendo mais. Se você gosta do clichê inimigos para amantes, heróis alfa e comédias românticas, esse livro é para você.

 

What a great read! As usual, Nicole Williams delivery a good story that you don’t want to put down. Dating the Enemy put a twist in the enemy-to-lovers story, where they are battling from the beginning to not fall in love. In this reality show, who will be the winner? Romance, Reality or there is a chance of a draw? Hannah and Brookes form a great pair and it was delish to follow their story. It was funny, well written and I read it in one sitting! If you like enemy-to-lovers, alpha heroes and rom-com, this book is for you!

Excerpt

“Where do you think you’re going?”
​I jolted. Brooks had an annoying talent of being able to appear out of thin air. “As far away from this dance floor as I can get.”
​“But we haven’t danced yet.” Brooks crept in front of my path, forcing me to stop or crash into him.
​Braking to a stop, I shot him a look. “I’ll be sure to shed some tears for that later. When I’m asleep.”
​“Someone’s notably grumpier now than they were earlier.” His eyes narrowed in an investigative kind of way. “Methinks you weren’t totally forthcoming about you minding if I danced with other women.”
​The cameraman was leaning in, our ever-present third wheel, but I didn’t feel the need to lower my voice. “Methinks you were onto something when you expressed trepidation over your manhood’s functioning properties after tonight.”
​Brooks let out a low whistle. “Under the right circumstances, those words, from that mouth, would be such a turn-on.”
​“The right circumstances being what? Your standing appointment with a dungeon and a dominatrix?”
​One dark brow lifted. “Bad kitty.”
​“No. Grumpy cat.” I circled my face before going around him.
His arm whipped out, cinching around my waist to draw me back to him. “Let’s see if I can help with that.” His hand found mine, lifting it, while his other secured at my back, bringing me closer. And closer.
And . . .
“Brooks,” I hissed, remembering the camera before I put into words what I’d just felt.
He didn’t appear the slightest bit fazed. “What was that about my functioning manhood?”
“I don’t want to feel it digging into my stomach when I’m trying to focus on tangoing.”
“Then you shouldn’t have worn that dress.”
“And we’ll lump that in the category known as victim-blaming,” I muttered, trying to ignore the hard swell rubbing against my midsection.
“It’s not your fault my dick has a thing for your dress.” Brooks didn’t lower his voice at all. “It’s his fault, one hundred and ten percent. Total case of dick-blaming right here.”

About the Author

T.M. (Tracey Marie) Frazier never dreamed that a single person would ever read a word she wrote when she published her first book. Now, she is a five-time USA Today bestselling author and her books have been translated into numerous languages and published all around the world.

T.M. enjoys writing what she calls sexy‘wrongside of the tracks romance’ with morally corrupt anti-heroes and ballsy heroines.

Her books have been described as raw, dark and gritty. Basically, what that means, is while some authors are great at describing a flower as it blooms, T.M. is better at describing it in the final stages of decay.

She loves meeting her readers, but if you see her at an event please don’t pinch her because she’s not ready to wake up from this amazing dream.
