Resenha – Wild Highway

23/06/2020

Gemma Lane built an empire. Not a small feat, considering her home as a teenager was a makeshift tent in a California junkyard. She’s dedicated her life to turning pennies into millions. She has power, fortune and prestige.

And she’s leaving it all behind.

Gemma is headed across the country in her best friend’s Cadillac when a detour in Montana reunites her with old acquaintances and a man who hasn’t changed. Easton Greer challenges her every word and tests her every limit because he doesn’t believe she’s really abandoned her riches. She ignores his snide remarks and muttered censure—until the day she’s ready to return to the wild highway, and Easton taunts her to stay.

She’ll prove to him she’s not just running back to her wealthy life, that she’s more than her money. She’ll unlock her guarded heart and hope that this time around, he’ll treasure the key.

I’ll say that I’m having a really hard time reading books during this quarantine. I usually can’t concentrate, can’t get lost in the story… Well, not with this book. From the frist page, I coundn’t put it down, I coundn’t have enough of those characters. I loved every single thing about this story. Everything. I loved the main characters, I loved all other characters and animals in this book. How many times I can say love in one review? Because I can think at least 10 more things that I loved. The whole Greer family, the ranch, how this story in a way keeps going from the first book and gives us the introduction to the next one. If you like second chance, small town romances, this book is for you.

I opened the door, a smile still on my face, and collided, headfirst, with a wall of muscle.
“Oh, sorry.” I looked up and my heart stopped.
The smell of leather and aftershave filled my nose. I looked up to see a pair of dark brown eyes hooded by long, onyx lashes. I took in the straight nose, the sharp jaw and strong chin. My gaze dropped to the full lips I’d tasted once, on a night eleven years ago.
I’d never seen a face as symmetrical and so beautifully masculine as Easton Greer’s.
Even when he scowled, like he was now, it was a wonder.
He’d gotten even more handsome. How was that possible? He’d transformed from a young man to just a man, man. Rugged and rough and sexy.
“Gemma.” My name came out as a growl in his deep voice and I tore my gaze away from his mouth, taking a step back.
“Hi,” I breathed, the air heavy and thick.
He took a step away, then another, his glare unwavering.
Easton cast his scowl over his shoulder and spotted the Cadillac. “That yours?”
“Yes.”
“You’re staying here.” Not a question. An accusation. If he had it his way, I’d be uninvited.
I lifted my chin. “Yes, I came to see Katherine.”
His jaw ticked. “I thought we’d gotten rid of you years ago.”
Ouch. I guess he was still pissed about that whole sex in his room and waking up to find me gone.
But, good or bad, he hadn’t forgotten me.

Indicações de leitura

03/06/2020

Eu sempre considerei os livros uma grande fonte de aprendizagem. Ficção, não ficção, romance, aventura, biografia, policial, infantil, infantojuvenil, técnico… Não importa o tipo do livro, você sempre pode aprender algo novo, mudar sua visão sobre um assunto, rever suas atitudes e compreender melhor o próximo. No momento atual em que vivemos, compreender o próximo e suas lutas é mais importante do que nunca. O mundo vive uma época de mudança e todos nós devemos fazer nosso máximo para mudar junto com ele, evoluir, descartar crenças ultrapassadas que não servem para o bem de ninguém. Eu ainda preciso aprender muito, e estou aqui aberta para isso. A lista abaixo de livros foi compilada através de indicações de pessoas que lutam pelas causas da desigualdade de raças. Já li alguns dos livros, outros já estão no meu kindle ou na minha estante para serem lidos, e acrescentei vários outros em minha TBR. Espero que essa lista seja útil para pessoas que assim como eu querem aprender mais, querem escutar mais e ajudar mais.
