Resenha

Review

Eu primeiro li esse livro em ebook e fiz minha resenha aqui. Posso dizer que eu já tinha gostado da história quando li a primeira vez, mas o áudio deu toda uma nova dimensão para ela que eu realmente amei! Os narradores trouxeram vida para a história e fizeram um excelente trabalho. Eu já conhecia o trabalho da Ava e já era sua fã, mas o Alexander foi uma grata surpresa. Se você gosta de audiolivros ou se esse será uma experiência nova, você não vai ser arrepender. Eu recomendo! Boa leitura!

I have first read this book and reviewed it on ebook form here. I can say that I loved it the first time and loved it more in audio form. Both narrators did a great job bringing this story to life. I already was Ava’s fan, but was pleasantly surprised by Alexander’s work  and how he portrayed his character. This audiobook is funny, heartfelt and I truly recommend it!

 

Dear Mister…**strike out** no, too formal.

Hey there sweet cheeks *strike out* no, too forward.

 

To whom it may concern,

Full disclosure; before we move forward with this email, I would like it to be known that I have consumed an adequate amount of alcoholic beverages to intoxicate myself tonight. Three margaritas, two shots, and one beer—because it was free.

I think it’s important to be open and honest with your co-workers, don’t you?

So here I am, being honest. Drunk but honest. Or just drunk with lust? You decide.

I like you so much it’s clouding my judgment and making me do things I never would sober. Like write this letter.

I have a hopeless, foolish, schoolgirl crush on you when you are the last person on earth I should be falling for. Did you know people around the office call you a sadist? An egomaniac. An insensitive, arrogant prick. Your bark is worse then your bite, and you don’t scare me. The fact is, I’d love that bite of yours to nip at my bare skin while we’re both wearing nothing but sheets.

For once I want you to look at me as more than one of your employees.

And as long as we’re being honest, that navy blue suit you wear? With the crisp white shirt? It really makes me want to loosen your tie and show you who’s boss.

Love,

Sincerely,

Yours.

Excerpt

Like a goddamn ray of sunshine, light streaming behind her from the window, a halo shining above her pretty head.

Her lying, beautiful head.

Dark hair, wavy and glossy, down around her shoulders, the rich color picking up red from the sun.

She’s holding a glass—it’s poised at her lips and she’s about to take a sip—when our eyes meet. She lowers it, her mouth parts, and her smile spreads.

Until I scowl. Then, her face morphs from happy to concerned in a second. Damn right she should be concerned.

I nod.

She nods.

My eyes trail down the front of her and I note her dress—it’s baby blue, wrapped and tied at the waist, and shows off her curves while highlighting her legs in those sexy-as-shit heels.

Stop thinking about her curves and legs. You’re not here to admire her.

The pile of gifts in the corner pisses me off, bringing me back into the present, back to my rage, and has me lifting my arm; crooking my finger.

Peyton’s brows go up at the same time her head cocks and she pokes a finger into her own chest. “Me?”

“Yeah. You.” I know she can’t hear me, but I say it anyway—and if she’s any good at reading lips, she’ll haul her ass over here right quick.

Her cup is passed. Skirt gets smoothed out. Chin tilts high.

She heads over.

Good girl.

“Follow me,” I order her when we’re on the outskirts of the room. When we’re clear across the office common area, I pivot to face her.

She’s shorter, even in heels, so I have to dip my head to glare at her. “Want to tell me exactly what the fuck is going on in there?”

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!

Review 5 stars

Que livro delicioso! Sabe aquelas histórias que te deixam com um sorriso no rosto o tempo todo? Unzipped é assim. Um nerd e uma comediante. Muitas referências dos anos 80. Esse com certeza é o meu “primeiro-encontro” preferido do ano. Tom é tão adorável e perdido, e Finley é tão engraçada, que eles formam um casal maravilhoso, mesmo que eles não saibam disso. Um romance gostoso, com personagens que você quer ficar amigo e participar da vida! Mal posso esperar pelo próximo livro da Lauren!

What a good story!! Do you know that kind of book that you have a smile on your face from the first line? Unzipped is it. A nerd hero, a quirky heroine. A lot of 80’s references. If I have to choose my favorite meet-cute of the year, this one gets the prize. Tom is so adorable nerdy and clueless and Finley is so funny! It’s a roller-coaster romance with laugh-out-loud moments and characters you want to be friends with. It was an amazing book  and can’t wait to read the next release by Lauren.

Wanted: hot nerd seeks dating coach.

Picture this – I’m ready to win back the love of my life, and I’m going big this time. We’re talking boom box, sing her name in the rain, let the whole damn neighborhood know I’m good and ready this time around. After all, if you’re going to grand gesture the ever-loving hell out of a second chance, you need to pull out all the stops.

There’s only one little problem.

My college girlfriend isn’t the one who shows up when I play my “I’ll do anything to win you back” tune. The woman who flings open the second-floor window tells me my ex doesn’t live here anymore. But she’ll help me win her back. Anything for romance, anything for a guy so willing to go big for love. And that’s what I want at first. Until I get to know my new “romance coach” and discover she’s funny, clever, and keeps me on my toes. Now I don’t want to win anyone else’s heart. I want the woman who’s been helping me all along. Trouble is – she thinks I’m in love with someone else, and when we take off on a road trip, everything I think I know about women is about to be unzipped and turned inside out.

***

He’s the last person I ever expected to pop into my life, but he might be exactly what I need to save the thing that matters most to me. All I have to do is not fall for him.

Unzipped is a standalone romance!

 

EXCERPT

As I peruse the scenes, the opening notes of a song filter from the front of my townhome. What the hell? Did I leave the streaming app open on my phone? I step away from the counter and head to the front door, looking for my phone, even though I swear I had it with me in the kitchen.

The song grows louder, and it’s not coming from my cell at all. It’s coming from outside. I peer through the peephole.

I jerk back.

Rub my eyes.

What the hell?

Am I really seeing what I’m seeing? I don’t think I had that much wine. I had one sip.

Fine, fine. One large sip. One very large, very hearty sip. All right, it was a gulp.

But I can’t possibly be hallucinating, can I?

I peek again, and holy smokes.

There’s a guy on my front lawn going full Lloyd Dobler.

The hair on the back of my neck stands on end, and my paranoid brain leaps three thousand steps ahead. Did he escape from Alcatraz? Is he going to bang down my door? Attack me?

I pivot and grab the baseball bat I keep handy. As the youngest sister of two older brothers, I’ve learned a few valuable lessons: boys are trouble, pizza is good cold, and always keep a baseball bat near the door and/or bed.

With my bat in hand, I scurry to the kitchen to grab my phone, then fly upstairs to the bedroom, taking the steps two by two.

I race into the bedroom, set the bat at my feet, and keep my phone clutched in my hand, ready to call 911 if need be. I pull back the white curtain a smidge.

And I nearly die laughing.

The song has stopped, and the Dobler wannabe is now kneeling on the ground, furiously hitting buttons on the boom box.

I peer around the curtain’s edge, and it’s like watching a sideshow act auditioning for my circus.

He hoists the boom box up above him again. A new tune plays. I cock my head, listening, and I cringe when I recognize the tune.

For real? Is he truly playing “Unzipped”? I could never stand that song when it was popular eight years ago. The music sounds like a can opener mating with a trombone. I wish he were playing Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes,” like Dobler did in the film.

But as I study the bizarre suburban male mating ritual, I decide to award him points for sheer balls. He also deserves bonus points because he chose to go without the super cheesy trench coat that Dobler wore. It worked for Cusack, but on anyone else that attire screams serial killer.

This guy seems harmless.

And admittedly, from my vantage point two stories above, he’s kind of handsome with the glasses, the thick, floppy hair, and the jeans that fit nicely. Strong jaw too.

Fine, fine. He’s more than kind of handsome. He’s 100 percent good-looking, in that hot nerd kind of way.

Review

First of all… Can I have a pig? 😉 After reading this book, I can say that Alessandra really can write in any genre without a doubt. This is such a cute rom-com with so many funny moments, but at the same time it’s a book with some sad moments. I fell in love with Autumn on the first page (or should I say on the first minute?). She is crazy, but the good kind of crazy and that type of character that makes you be on their side, cheering for them. The narrators did a great job of portraying the characters and really added to the experience of the book. Sometimes I didn’t want to stop listening to this story. I recommend this book!

It’s really hard to save a guy’s life when he keeps running from you.

You might be asking yourself why I’m waving an inflatable penis in the air and screaming at the top of my lungs. If I took time to explain, Declan Moss would get hit by a bus.

Let me back up. I didn’t ask for this. I was perfectly happy—and perfectly sane—before I was tasked with keeping Declan Moss alive. It was a thankless job until the moment that my panties dropped and his delicious smirk found his way in between my thighs.

Hello, toe-curling ecstasy. Goodbye, professional boundaries. And suddenly, there’s a new danger to avoid: the falling of my heart.

Blurb:

From the time I was a kid, I knew I wanted a job helping people. After serving in the Rifles regiment of the British Army, I focused my civilian career on becoming a bodyguard to the rich and famous. For a Cockney Brit, I never imagined a twist of fate landing me a position in the United States Secret Service and protecting the President’s son. But then my boss made an unexpected request: leave my current placement to move in with his only daughter to give an added layer of protection against the threats she had been receiving. I’d never lived with a woman who was off-limits to me. It wasn’t just that Caroline had a boyfriend. She was my best friend’s sister, and my boss’s daughter. But the longer we’re in such close quarters together, the greater the temptation grows, but I know I’ll lose everything if I pursue her.

Growing up as the only girl and with two overbearing older brothers, I’m no stranger to being overprotected. Just as I finished up college and prepared to truly dip my toes into the adult world, my father was elected President of the United States, which added a whole new level of protection with the Secret Service team attached to me. Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly be more smothered, I began receiving threats, and my family decided it wasn’t enough to just have an agent living down the hall from me. Nope, I was to have one move in with me, and not just any agent, but Ty Frasier—my brother, Barrett’s best friend, and my brother, Ty’s, head agent. While most women would enjoy living with a sexy, buff Brit, having a roommate threw a wrench into all my plans. Especially when I began noticing Ty was so much more than a hot guy.

My love wand is on a strike.

As bad as that blows, pun unintended, it’s ten times worse for me. I’m a male escort, but not just any escort, I’m the escort. The one with a mile-long waiting list and a pristine reputation that’s very well-deserved.

Only now, I’m on hiatus. Because after years of pleasing women all over the city, my man missile decides to get finicky. And the only woman he wants? Someone I can never have—my best friend’s younger sister, the nerdy and awkwardly adorable Sienna.

She’s working at the agency this summer, keeping me organized, handling paperwork, and most importantly, keeping me on track to finish writing my book about sex and intimacy, which is due to my publisher in thirty days.

She thinks I hate her, that I don’t want her here. The truth is much more twisted. I get hard every time she walks into my office. Her wide blue eyes and pouty mouth drive me wild with desire, and if she stays, I’m not sure how much longer I can stay away from her.

Little Miss Overachiever says she’s here to help? Fine. I’m going to put her nerdy, curvy tush to work.

Hoje é o lançamento do livro Across the Horizon, da autora Aly Martinez. Temos para você a sinopse, nossa resenha e um trecho do livro para te deixar com ainda mais vontade de ler!

Today is release day for Aly Martinez! Across the Horizon is live and we have our review, the blurb and a excerpt for you. Enjoy!

Sinopse

Synopsis

“As vezes o amor acontece quando você menos espera.” Foi isso que a amante do meu marido me disse no dia que eu descobri o caso deles. Eu não tinha como acreditar até cinco minutos depois quando o chef celebridade Tanner Resse chegou, colocou seus braços sobre os meus ombros e mandou meu marido traidor cair fora. Tanner e eu não poderíamos ser mais diferentes. Ele passa seus finais de semana em boates, junto com outros famosos. Eu passo os meus em calças de yoga com tábuas de queijo e uma taça de vinho – ou seis. Nosso relacionamento não deveria dar certo, até que deu. Isso é, até Tanner me provar que mesmo que o amor aconteça quando você menos espera… A dor no coração também.

“Sometimes love happens when you least expect it.” That was what my husband’s mistress told me the day I found out about their affair. I didn’t believe it until five minutes later when mouth-watering celebrity chef Tanner Reese walked up, tossed his arm around my shoulders, and told my cheating husband to take a hike. Tanner and I couldn’t have been more different. He spent his weekends at clubs, rubbing elbows with fellow A-listers. I spent mine in yoga pants with cheese boards and a glass of wine—or six. Our relationship shouldn’t have worked, but it did. That is until Tanner proved to me that even though love happens when you least expect it… So does heartbreak.

Resenha

Review

Chegou o tão esperado livro por todos que leram e amaram o dueto The Darkest Star. Mas o mais legal desse livro, é que mesmo sendo basicamente uma continuação do dueto, ele não estraga a história para quem está começando por ele, pelo contrário, garanto que as pessoas irão ficar curiosas pelas pequenas migalhas de informação e vão correr para ler o dueto original! Aly fez um bom trabalho em nos contar cenas conhecidas de outros pontos de vista, e ao mesmo tempo nos contar uma história completamente diferente. Sai o “chef celebridade” e a “esposa perfeita”. Entram Tanner e Rita. Duas pessoas lutando para se descobrirem e descobrirem seus valores além do que são conhecidos. Uma história emocional sobre amor sim, mas sobre muito mais! Esse é o tipo de livro que você quer devorar de uma só vez! Boa leitura!

I think everyone that read The Darkest Sunrise Duet was waiting to have this story told. But the beauty of this book is that it’s everything we were waiting for, but at the same time, it’s a complete standalone and don’t spoil the duet for new readers. I think Aly did a great job keeping up with scenes that happens on both books and at the same time telling a complete different story that we thought we saw. Tanner is so much more complex than the “celebrity chef” without a care in the world. Rita is so much more than the trophy wife she was for the last 7 years. This book is about self discovery, self worth and how a love can help you get there. As usual, Aly’s writing is fenomenal and you want to devour the book in one sitting.

Excerpt

I shifted the phone to my other ear and asked her, “Did you just get in bed?”

“If, by bed, you mean carrying a glass of wine out back to swing in the hammock, maybe.”

I bit my bottom lip, my head falling back against the headrest. For most men, this would have been an innocuous statement. But for a hammock connoisseur like myself, this was the normal guy equivalent of her saying that she liked to give blowjobs during halftime.

“You have a hammock out back?”

There was a delay in her response, which was followed by a subtle kiss of her lips on what I assumed was a wine glass. “Don’t knock it until you try it. It’s one of the most underrated luxuries in outdoor furniture.”

“Oh, I’m not knocking anything. Rope or quilted?”

“Mayan, actually.”

“Oh, sweet heavenly baby Jesus, she’s beautiful and knows her hammocks. I’ve never been so turned on in my life.”

She giggled, pausing for another sip. “You know, if you leaked this hammock fetish to the press, you could probably increase demand by five million percent and singlehandedly lower the country’s unemployment rate.”

Okay, so at some point during the day, she’d figured out who I was.

But! Even with this knowledge, she was trying to avoid a date with me and was not elbow-deep in planning our televised wedding. This was a definite plus in my book.

“Yeah, but then, when I talked to beautiful women like yourself, I’d have no idea if the hammock was your idea or a ploy to impress me.”

“Jeez, that’s sad, Tanner,” she said, her sweet Southern accent like a wave rolling over my name.

I’d meant it as a joke, but it was the absolute truth when it came to dating. Early on in my career, I’d done a rapid-fire interview about my personal life. One of the questions had been: What would your ideal woman order on the first date? Truth be told, the only thing I hoped my ideal woman would order was something she wanted. I didn’t factor into that. But I’d been on my last question in my last interview of the last day of a month-long press tour. My face had hurt from fake smiling, I’d been in desperate need of a shower, a smoke, and sleep, and my mind had been mush, so I’d prattled off the first thing that had come to mind: shrimp and grits.

That one little answer somehow made it onto my Wiki page, and after that, every woman I’d taken out ordered shrimp and grits. One of them even had a shellfish allergy and nearly ended up in the hospital. And this insanity was not limited to women outside of the spotlight.

I’d once gone on a date with America’s princess of pop, Levee Williams. We’d hit it off at a charity event. For one of the most famous women in the world, she was a surprisingly nice girl, gorgeous, and funny as all get out. But the first time I took her out? One guess what she ordered.

I was at the end of my rope with dating and lost my freaking mind before storming out like an asshole. That night, as I was reporting shrimp and fucking grits as an error to Wiki, I noticed that her page listed it as her favorite food. I’d never had the balls to contact her again, and I once hid behind a palm tree on Rodeo Drive when I heard the clamoring of paparazzi calling her name. But that’s neither here nor there.

In short, while finding a woman was all too easy, dating was hard.

But that wasn’t about to stop me from trying with Rita.

Sinopse

Synopsis

Ele é conhecido como Padre Anton por seus companheiros de time – o taciturno e sexy capitão do time da NHL Chicago Blaze tem uma reputação… de não ter uma reputação. Como sua dieta e rotina de sono, celibato é uma parte do encantamento de Anton Petrov no gelo. Anton fica mudo sovre o assunto. E se o mundo pensa que ele se abstém de sexo, então seja. Melhor do que a verdade ser revelada: tem uma mulher que ele quer, mas não pode ter. Ela é a esposa de seu companheiro de time. Mia Marceau está finalmente sozinha. Agora que ela e seu marido estão vivendo separados, ela está achando a paz que ela estava desesperada por encontrar. Ela passa seus dias em classes e suas noites trabalhando em um bar, finalmente traçando seu próprio caminho no mundo. Após tudo que ela passou, se o seu marido a deixar em paz, ela não planeja mudar nada. Ele ainda tem o poder de machucar suas pessoas mais queridas, e ela não pode demandar um divórcio com um custo tão grande. Um encontro ao acaso com Mia faz com que Anton comece a ter esperanças por coisas que ele nunca imaginou que iria conseguir. E enquanto ela é atraída por sua intensidade, Mia está com receio de brincar com fogo. Mas isso é tudo que Anton sempre soube sobre Mia – um desejo vivo e queimando que não pode ser negado – não importa o custo.

He’s known as Father Anton to his teammates—the brooding, sexy captain of the NHL’s Chicago Blaze has a reputation for…not having a reputation. Just like his diet and sleep routines, celibacy is part of Anton Petrov’s on-ice mojo. Or so they say. Anton stays mum on the subject. If the world thinks he chooses to abstain from sex, so be it. Better that than the truth getting out: there is a woman he burns for, but he can never have her. She’s his teammate’s wife, after all. Mia Marceau is finally on her own. Now that she and her husband are living apart, she’s finding the peace she was desperate for. She spends her days in classes and late nights bartending, making her own way in the world at last. After what she’s been through, as long as her husband leaves her alone, she doesn’t plan to rock the boat. He still has the power to hurt those dearest to her, and she can’t demand a divorce with such a high cost. A chance encounter with Mia has Anton hoping for a shot he never thought he’d get. And while she’s drawn to the intense, serious hockey center, Mia’s leery about playing with fire. That’s all Anton has ever known for Mia, though—a living, burning desire that won’t be denied—no matter the cost.

Resenha	Review
Lendo essa pequena história eu pude sentir o quanto estava me fazendo falta um pouquinho de Runaway Train! Essa história curtinha é completamente emocional, se prepare. Rhys sempre foi um dos meus favoritos nessa série e eu fiquei realmente feliz em ver como ele está no futuro. Com pequenas aparições de todos da banda, essa história é perfeita para ler numa tarde aconchegante.	Oh, how I missed the Runaway Train family! This short story was packed with emotion. Really a lot more emotions that I would expect from a short Christmas Story. Rhys were always one of my favorite  and it was great to see him down the road on his relationship. With small appearances from everyone in the band, it was a perfect way to spend a cozy afternoon reading.
