Sinopse<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Synopsis<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Ela est\u00e1 completamente sozinha na escurid\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

Ele est\u00e1 iluminando o palco.<\/p>\n

Mas nem mesmo a mais forte das lumin\u00e1rias n\u00e3o consegue alcan\u00e7ar as sombras de uma alma quebrada.<\/p>\n

Declan<\/p>\n

Qualquer pseudo roqueiro sonha sobre o dia em que f\u00e3s alucinados ir\u00e3o lotar seus shows. Mas o quanto mais as pessoas me veneram como um tipo de Deus da m\u00fasica, mais eu descubro o motivo de cantores serem chamados de “int\u00e9rpretes”. Eu sou somente um impostor. Um falso.<\/p>\n

Eu preciso de alguma coisa real. Alguma coia que ir\u00e1 quebrar o glamour revoltante que se alastrou por todas as partes da minha vida. E por uma noite perfeita, eu achei a Sara.<\/p>\n

E ent\u00e3o ela fugiu.<\/p>\n

Sara<\/p>\n

Nenhuma mulher s\u00e3 teria deixado Declan depois de somente uma noite. Mas o deixar foi o mais seguro para n\u00f3s dois.<\/p>\n

Eu passei tanto tempo enterrando minha antiga pessoa no passado, tentando apagar a pessoa vulner\u00e1vel que eu costumava ser. Eu estou mais esperta agora – homens s\u00e3o perigosos, e relacionamentos mais ainda.<\/p>\n

Mas quanto mais tempo eu passo longe dele, mais eu quero voltar.<\/p>\n

Eu posso acabar despeda\u00e7ada novamente. Ou talvez, quem sabe, ele ser\u00e1 quem me ajudar\u00e1 a colar minhas pe\u00e7as.<\/td>\n

\n
She\u2019s all alone in the darkness.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He\u2019s lighting up the stage.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But not even the brightest spotlight can reach the shadows of a broken soul.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Declan<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
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.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
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.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Then she ran.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Sara<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
No sane woman would\u2019ve ever walked away from Declan Hollis after only one night. But\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
walking away from him was the safest move for both of us.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I’ve spent so much time burying my old self in the past, trying to erase the vulnerable person I used to be. I\u2019m smarter now\u2014men are dangerous, and relationships are doubly so.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
But the more time I spend away from him, the more I want to go back.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I may end up shattered all over again. Or maybe, just maybe, he’ll be the one to help me pick up the pieces.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Resenha<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Review<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Eu sempre gostei de hist\u00f3rias inspiradas em contos de fadas, e essa n\u00e3o foi exce\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

Tudo come\u00e7ou com uma noitada. Ou eu deveria dizer que essa noitada foi o catalisador de tudo?<\/p>\n

Declan est\u00e1 decepcionado com a fama, mas n\u00e3o quer decepcionar e abandonar seus colegas de banda.<\/p>\n

Sara est\u00e1 t\u00e3o entranhada nas sombras de seu passado que ela n\u00e3o consegue enxergar a luz, ou o amor.<\/p>\n

Podem eles se ajudar? Podem eles mudar suas vidas para melhor, juntos?<\/p>\n

A hist\u00f3ria de Declan e Sara \u00e9 sombria, triste e enrolada. Mas ao mesmo tempo \u00e9 leve, engra\u00e7ada e cheia de amor. As vezes eu queria esganar os dois, mostrar o que estava na cara deles e faz\u00ea-los enxergar a verdade, mas foi maravilhoso seguir a jornada deles. Se voc\u00ea gosta de livros que te deixam pensando mesmo depois de virar a \u00faltima p\u00e1gina, super recomendo essa leitura.<\/td>\n

I’ve always loved fairy tales retelling and this one was no exception.<\/p>\n

It all started with a one night stand. Or should I say it was the catalyst for everything?<\/p>\n

Declan don’t want to be in the limelight anymore, but he has bandmates he can’t abandon.<\/p>\n

Sara is so much inside the shadows of her past, the se cannot see the light of love.<\/p>\n

Can them help each other? Can they change their lives for the better?<\/p>\n

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.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

My bandmates and I grabbed a couple of burritos in the Mission District\u2014cheap, delicious, and as gigantic as Pete claimed his dick was. A fun fact that ruined everybody\u2019s appetite and no one believed. No one was willing to verify Pete\u2019s claim either.<\/span>

Somehow, our conversation maneuvered to the sad state of my love life. I\u2019m fairly sure Trevor had guided us there, if for no other reason than to give me shit about how pathetic it was.<\/span>

I sighed and pushed my food away, almost untouched. \u201cIf five years ago, anyone had said, \u2018Hey, Dec. How would you like it if every woman you met wanted to sleep with\u00a0<\/span>you,\u00a0just so she could tell her friends she\u2019d banged the lead singer of a band?\u2019 My response would\u2019ve been: \u2018Did you say something after \u2018every woman I met wanted to sleep with me?\u2019 And I wouldn\u2019t have cared what the answer was. Now, knowing women are using me is just depressing.\u201d<\/span>

\u201cFuck that,\u201d Trevor said. \u201cI swear to the gods of\u00a0<\/span>music,\u00a0if a woman wants to use me for sex, you sure as hell won\u2019t hear me complaining about it.\u201d<\/span>

\u201cThat\u2019s the difference between you and Declan,\u201d Pete said, already smiling. \u201cYou said, \u2018if a woman wants to use you.\u2019 And that\u2019s a pretty good-sized \u2018if\u2019.\u201d<\/span>

Everyone other than Trevor laughed. It made sense\u2014he couldn\u2019t see his own expression.<\/span>

\u201cShit,\u201d Pete continued. \u201cNo shame in it\u2014none of us sees the amount of action Declan could.\u201d<\/span>

\u201cIf he weren\u2019t such a pussy, you mean.\u201d<\/span>

\u201cObviously.\u201d<\/span>

\u201cHey!\u201d I said it loud enough to know that they\u2019d all heard me. So they were just pretending not to.<\/span>

There was no way to explain it so they\u2019d understand. Or not think I was insane. I\u2019d guess that would be the natural reaction to a guy talking about how he feels like he\u2019s two separate people\u2014the one he\u2019s always been and the one everyone expects him to be. It\u2019s even sadder when the guy realizes that almost everyone he meets nowadays likes the fake him more than the real one.<\/span>

Trevor would\u2019ve gone cross-eyed if I told him that, until that night with Sara, sex just wasn\u2019t as good as it had been before anyone knew who we were.\u00a0<\/span>

It was a conclusion I didn\u2019t come to without a lot of rigorous testing, by the way. My folks didn\u2019t raise a quitter.\u00a0<\/span>

But it became a little unpleasant when every time I fucked someone, I couldn\u2019t get over the idea that it wasn\u2019t really me who was getting laid. It was the guy I played onstage.\u00a0<\/span>

We might have looked the same, but every day he seemed more and more foreign to me. We didn\u2019t 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\u2019d barely ever spoken to me.<\/span>

That was what made my one night with Sara stick with me. Not only was it physically amazing, Sara hadn\u2019t met Declan Hollis, the lead singer of Self Defense who someone else had designed. She\u2019d met Declan Hollis, the man who just wanted to be normal, get a house somewhere quiet where my dog didn\u2019t have to run on concrete and shit on a four-by-four square of fake grass.<\/span>

And she\u2019d liked that Declan. She\u2019d reminded me that he was enough, that he was attractive and could make someone laugh.<\/span>

\u201cWait a sec. Does that shit really bother you?\u201d Trevor asked. \u201cSeriously? Fuck, that\u2019s the only reason I\u2019m here. If women didn\u2019t want to use me to say they\u2019d fucked a\u00a0<\/span>rockstar, I\u2019d be sitting in front of a bonfire on the beach somewhere, drinking beer and playing somebody else\u2019s tunes.\u201d<\/span>

\u201cFirst of all, you\u2019re not a\u00a0<\/span>rockstar.\u201d<\/span>

\u201cNot yet. And luckily, these girls don\u2019t think that far ahead.\u201d<\/span>

I grumbled but couldn\u2019t disagree. \u201cSecondly, you\u2019d be playing someone else\u2019s tunes? What the fuck is wrong with our tunes?\u201d<\/span>

He laughed. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, bro. The writing is flawless. It\u2019s just not really my style.\u201d<\/span>

Again, I couldn\u2019t disagree, at least with the second part. It wasn\u2019t my style either. I\u2019d stopped writing and doing what I wanted to a while ago.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sobre o autor \/ About the author<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a>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.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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?<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
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.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Because what doesn’t kill us should make us laugh.<\/span><\/div>\n
