Opinião: "Bad Boy Valentine Wedding"

Autor: Celia Aaron
Série: The Hard and Dirty Holidays #3
Edição: Janeiro de 2016
ASIN: B01B29D40U
Páginas: 61


Sinopse: Jess and Michael have been engaged for three years, waiting patiently for Jess to finish law school before taking the next step in their relationship. As the wedding date approaches, their dedication to each other only grows, but outside forces seek to tear them apart. The bad boy will have to fight to keep his bride and Jess will have to trust him with her whole heart to make their happy ending a reality.

*This is short, hot burst of romance that can be read in one sitting.*


A minha opinião: Três anos depois dos eventos do livro anterior, e tendo esperado que Jess terminasse o curso de direito, ela e Michael vão finalmente casar. Contudo, uma situação perfeitamente inocente é mal interpretada e poderá deitar tudo a perder. Conseguirão eles ultrapassar este obstáculo e conseguir o seu final feliz?

É um bonito complemento à história do livro anterior, mas não achei que justificasse ser um livro separado.


Classificação: 3


Enredos: sequela, casamento

Opinião: "Bad Boy Valentine"

Autor: Celia Aaron
Série: The Hard and Dirty Holidays #2
Edição: Dezembro de 2015
ASIN: B019UINHIE
Páginas: 90


Sinopse: Jess has always been shy. Keeping her head down and staying out of sight has served her well, especially when a sexy photographer moves in across the hall from her. Michael has a budding career, a dark past, and enough ink and piercings to make Jess' mouth water. She is well equipped to watched him through her peephole and stalk him on social media. But what happens when the bad boy next door comes knocking?

Full Disclosure: This short story contains a virgin, instalove, and a super hot book boyfriend with a possessive streak. It can be read in one sitting.


A minha opinião: Quando Michael se muda para o prédio de Jess, observá-lo às escondidas torna-se o passatempo preferido dela. Afinal, ele é tentação encarnada, com os seus músculos e tatuagens, e é impossível para Jess não fantasiar como seria perder a virgindade com ele... Mas ela é muito tímida e ele está sempre rodeado de modelos lindíssimas, por isso ela está conformada com o facto de só poder observar e fantasiar. Afinal, ele nunca se interessaria por alguém como ela...

Até ao dia em que ele se sente observado e depois a ouve atrás da porta. E não desiste enquanto ela não o deixa entrar... É que também ele tem observado e fantasiado e agora nada o impedirá de realizar as suas fantasias...

As cenas de sexo são fantásticas como me parece ser o normal com esta autora. Contudo, o facto deles andarem a espreitar-se um ao outro às escondidas deixou-me demasiado desconfortável e arrepiada e foi por isso que não lhe dei uma classificação mais elevada.

When Crown Princess Justine of Wesloria is sent to England to learn the ropes of royalty, she falls under the tutelage of none other than Queen Victoria herself. Justine’s also in the market for a proper husband—one fit to marry the future queen of Wesloria.

Because he knows simply everyone, William, Lord Douglas (the notoriously rakish heir to the Duke of Hamilton seat in Scotland, and decidedly not husband material), is on hand as an escort of sorts. William has been recruited to keep an eye on the royal matchmaker for the Weslorian prime minister, tasked to ensure the princess is matched with a man of quality…and one who will be sympathetic to the prime minister’s views. As William and Justine are forced to scrutinize an endless parade of England’s best bachelors, they become friends. But when the crowd of potential grooms is steadily culled, what if William is the last bachelor standing?

Book Summary:
The perfect romcom for dog lovers! Pets of Park Avenue is the story of a self-confessed hot mess who learns that life is more fun when things don't go according to plan.

What do you do when The One is also the one who broke your heart?

Self-proclaimed hot mess Scout Myers is determined to prove she’s finally got her act together. Raised by grandparents who saw her as her wayward mother’s wayward daughter, Scout’s used to being written off. So when the opportunity for a promotion arises at Paws in the City, the talent agency where she works, Scout is desperate to rise to the occasion. With shared custody of her little sister also on the line, Scout can’t afford a single mistake…like suddenly needing a canine stand-in for an important photoshoot. Luckily (or not) she knows the owner of the perfect pup replacement: the estranged husband she walked out on years ago.

On the surface, it appears Lane Halliday’s life has been blissfully drama free without Scout, but she suspects her handsome-as-ever not-quite-ex-husband doth protest too much. Working together even feels like old times—except for all that lingering, unresolved tension. But Scout’s not sure she’s ready to confront the reasons she left Lane, and when their plans to finalize the divorce become very real, Scout starts to wonder whether second chances might be worth a little hot mess.

Opinião: "Up in Smoke"

Autor: Kate Meader
Série: Hot in Chicago Rookies #1
Edição/reimpressão: Fevereiro de 2022
ASIN: B09BXY6G8Z
Páginas: 326
Origem: Oferecido pela autora em troca de uma opinião sincera


Sinopse: Lives are on the line at Engine 6 … and so are hearts.

Running an engine crew in the Chicago Fire Department is my dream job, and between that, my awesome kid, and my nosey sister, I lead a pretty great life. Bruised and burned by my marriage, I don’t have time for dating or drama, but I always have time for pie. And when I share a slice of cherry with a sweet redhead, followed by the hottest, dirtiest, most pulse-pounding kiss of my life, I start to rethink the possibilities.

Until that same woman walks into my firehouse and upends my well-ordered world.

Abby Sullivan is now a rookie firefighter on my crew and a threat to my self-control more dangerous than a five-alarm blaze. My job is to watch her six when all I want is to watch her fall into my bed. Lust has no place in the firehouse, and a distraction like Abby with her electric blue eyes, waves of flame-red hair, and freckles I want to map with my tongue, is one I can ill afford.

Because one wrong move … and it could all go up in smoke.

Up in Smoke is the first in the brand new Hot in Chicago Rookies series about firefighters navigating the trials of new jobs and sizzling romances as they find their place in the world and the love of a lifetime.


Blog Tour: The Scramble by Kristen Proby

Maddie and Dylan heat up Iceland for Christmas!

The Scramble, an all-new heroine scrooge meets hero Mr. Christmas, opposites attract romance from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby, is out now!

There are two things you need to know about me. 1: I’m never late. And 2: I hate Christmas. Yes, I’m a girl who hates the holidays.

My entire, enormous family is already enjoying their holiday vacation in Iceland, but thanks to my busy job and having to meet them there, I’m late. They could have chosen any holiday to fly across the world, but Christmas won, which sent me scrambling because the end of the year is my busiest time. It’s difficult to carve out moments to see the family at all.

So, now, I’m forty thousand feet in the air, trying to get to Iceland before Christmas morning, all while also attempting to get some work done. If only the hot guy next to me would leave me be.

Dylan says I should put the work away until after my holiday and relax a bit. And while his suggestion of spending some time together on the north Atlantic island seems preposterous, I can’t help but feel intrigued when he promises to show me how to enjoy the Yuletide season properly.

After all, I can’t possibly spend every minute with my family.

But how do I just shrug off my duty to my job and throw caution to the wind for a stranger...no matter how handsome he is? Because that’s something else about me: I never throw caution to the wind—even a beautiful, blustery Icelandic wind.

Then again, Mama always said, “Never say never…”

Keep reading for a look inside The Scramble!

“Okay, this is going to be the craziest story I’ve ever told you, and you can’t tell the cousins.”

She blinks at me in surprise. “All right. Give it to me.”

“I didn’t know him until I got on that airplane. And then we fucked in the bathroom.”

She just keeps blinking. “On the airplane?”

“Yes.”

I chew my bottom lip, waiting for her response.

“I know people talk about it all the time but is that even possible? I mean, they’re so small.”

“You don’t need much room.” I smile to myself, hearing Dylan’s words echoing in my head.

“Oh, I like that smile.” She sits up, crosses her legs, and then hugs the pillow to her chest. “I like it a lot. That’s a satisfied smile.”

“Yeah, well, it was fun.”

“Did you just say fun?”

“If you say a word about me not being fun, I’ll come over there and break your nose.”

“You always were violent. I’d say you got it from Dad, but despite being a former SEAL, he might be the gentlest human alive. Okay, so, there were airplane shenanigans.”

“Yes.”

“What else?”

“He just flirted with me, practically the whole flight. And he’s nice. Which is weird.”

“I know they seem to be fewer and fewer these days, but there are nice guys out there.”

“Yeah, well, we seem to be related to ninety percent of them. Anyway, I don’t know much about Dylan other than what he does for a living and that the sex is beyond anything I’ve ever had before.”

“Honey, as a woman well into her thirties, it’s about damn time. I’m glad we talked you into staying the week. Now, you can hang out with Dylan more. Have a vacation fling. If that’s all it is, it’s still time well spent.”

“Huh. I never considered a vacation fling.”

About Kristen Proby:

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

Opinião: "Boyfriend Material"

Autor: Alexis Hall
Série: London Calling #1
Editor: Sourcebooks Casablanca
Edição/reimpressão: Julho de 2020
ASIN: B0821NSZRG
Páginas: 432


Sinopse: WANTED:
One (fake) boyfriend
Practically perfect in every way

Luc O'Donnell is tangentially—and reluctantly—famous. His rock star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next twenty years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything.

To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he's never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. Unfortunately, apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust has settled. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened.

But the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. And that's when you get used to someone. Start falling for them. Don't ever want to let them go.


A minha opinião: Já li Boyfriend Material em Fevereiro, mas ainda dou por mim muitas vezes a lembrar-me da história. Foi o primeiro livro de Alexis Hall que li e com certeza não será o último...

A história é contada do ponto de vista de Luc O'Donnell. Ele é filho de duas estrelas do rock que se separaram quando ele era pequeno, o que significa que está habituado a, ocasionalmente, ter de lidar com a exposição mediática que isso implica. Agora o seu pai está de regresso às luzes da ribalta e, por isso, uma foto de Luc é publicada nas redes sociais. Apesar de completamente tirada do contexto, a foto é suficiente para a sua patroa o ameaçar com despedimento caso Luc não limpe a sua imagem. Afinal, ele trabalha para uma instituição de angariação de fundos, e alguns dadores já estão a retirar fundos que haviam prometido...

A solução parece vir de um dos seus colegas: arranjar um namorado perfeitamente normal e respeitável. Felizmente, uma das suas amigas conhece a pessoa ideal, Oliver Blackwood. Ela até já tentou fazer um arranjinho entre eles, mas não só não correu nada bem, como deixou Luc com a pior impressão possível de Oliver. Contudo, tempos desesperados pedem medidas desesperadas e, uma vez que Oliver também precisa de um namorado falso para ir a um evento familiar, parece ser a solução perfeita para ambos.

E é assim que Luc e Oliver iniciam a sua falsa relação. Que, quanto mais tempo passa, menos falsa parece. Na verdade, as características de Oliver que irritavam Luc não são assim tão irritantes à medida que ele o conhece melhor... São até bastante encantadoras. Mas Luc tem noção que Oliver é um homem com a sua vida pessoal e profissional bem resolvida (embora a familiar tenha alguns problemas...) e Luc... não. Oliver nunca se poderia interessar verdadeiramente por alguém como Luc, pois não?

Adorei a história, adorei o romance, adorei o humor tão british, adorei os protagonistas e também as personagens secundárias. Adorei tudo neste livro e, embora tenha pena de não ter a perspectiva do Oliver, percebo o porquê do autor ter escolhido contar a história desta forma. E agora quero ler todos os livros do autor. O que não vai ser fácil já que, só este ano, ele publicou quatro... Mas já comprei a continuação e será de certeza uma das minhas leituras do próximo ano!


Classificação: 5


Enredos: falso relacionamento, opostos atraem-se, ele não é mesmo nada o meu tipo.

Tinha pensado terminar o livro que estou a ler antes de iniciar a temporada natalícia deste ano, mas, uma vez que hoje ouvi o All I Want For Christmas Is YouDo They Know It's Christmas? seguidos, achei que era um sinal. Para além disso, vi hoje também o meu primeiro filme de Natal do ano...

Assim, está aberta a temporada natalícia que consiste apenas em ler livros e ver filmes e séries de Natal. Já que estou a começar mais tarde, prolonguei até dia 8 de Janeiro.

Keep reading for a look inside Before I Let Go!

I knock and wait for Josiah’s deep baritone telling me to enter. He sits behind his desk, eyes trained on the laptop in front of him. He doesn’t look up, but keeps typing. The silence persists, stretches to awkwardness, so I drop into one of the armchairs in the center of the room along with a sofa and coffee table, and set my purse on the floor.

“Harvey’s on his way,” he says, still not looking away from the screen. “His last meeting ran a few minutes over, but he’ll be here soon.”

“Oh. Sure. Great.”

I run damp palms over my legs, the jeans smooth and cool beneath my hands. Fidgety and looking for something to do, I tighten my topknot. I got box braids last weekend because I was tired of messing with my hair. This morning they’re studded with a few gold cuffs scattered throughout the strands. All in all, I feel pretty. And confident, and I won’t be shook by the pissy mood Josiah seems to have saved just for me. Finally, he closes the laptop and walks over to the sitting area. I study my nails, taking my turn to ignore him.

“I like the braids.”

Surprised, I glance up to find him sitting on the arm of the leather sofa across from me. I didn’t expect him to say anything personal. Definitely not about my appearance. When I meet his eyes, they’re cool like they’ve been for weeks, and his face remains unreadable.

“Thanks.” I scour my mind for something else to say. Gone are the days when I couldn’t get the words out to him fast enough. We’d watch couples eating dinner in absolute silence and promise each other that would never be us.

“Um, did you see Deja’s report card?” I ask.

“Yeah.” He frowns. “I can’t believe she got a C in English.”

“It used to be her best subject. It’s not just the grade itself, but I worry she’s spending too much time on social media.”

“I think she’ll find the balance without us having to come down hard. Your relationship with her is already strained enough and—”

“Strained?” I ask, my voice dropping to a quiet warning.

“You’ve said that yourself, Yas.” He crosses his stupid muscular arms

across his stupid broad chest. “Let’s not fight over how we need to handle things with Day. Have you given any more thought to Kassim playing football?”

“You mean since I said never when you asked last time? No. Besides, he has soccer.”

“He really wants to play football too.”

“A kid can really want a lot of things that aren’t good for him, like literally ramming his brain into a brick wall over and over again and risking his life, his mind, for what? A game? With all that’s come out about CTE, I just don’t think it’s worth the risk. Lots of parents aren’t doing football anymore.”

“Don’t you think you’re being a little dramatic? I played football. Preach played. Theo’s playing.”

“I love Preach, but him letting Theo play doesn’t mean a damn thing to me. What he and Liz decide for their kids has no bearing on what we decide for ours. Kassim has barely mentioned football to me.”

“He hasn’t mentioned it,” he returns with obvious stretched patience, “because he loves you and he doesn’t want to displease you, but he asks me almost daily.”

“Of course, because you’re the cool parent.”

“Well, I’m not the one who says no to everything because I’m too scared or too uptight to allow my kids some freedom to make their own decisions.”

“How dare you!”

I surge to my feet, unable to stay seated one more second. I need to move, let this anger circulate, or it will clog in my veins. My steps eat up the space separating us, and before I know it, I’m right in front of him, standing in the vee of his powerful legs. The air sizzles with a lightning strike, sudden and hot and dangerous. Unpredictable. I should take shelter, but I don’t step back. His expression remains inscrutable, the stark beauty of his face unaffected, but his breathing deepens. In response, my breasts rise and fall with the struggle to draw breath as the air between us thickens. This close, his presence overwhelms me and my deprived senses devour him. The way his cologne mingles with his unique male scent. The hardness of his jaw at war with the sensual curve of his mouth. The heat his big body radiates, even at rest, surrounds me.

I lick suddenly dry lips, and he tracks the movement with narrowed eyes. I feel hunted by that look, like I stepped into a trap laid by my own body, devised by my own mind. Something I thought we’d buried long ago rises, encircles us, breathing new life into a connection I thought was dead. I’ve known for months that I’m still attracted to Josiah, but right now, with his eyes darkening and his jaw flexing and his hands curling into fists, I can’t help but wonder . . .

Is he still attracted to me too?
