I hate the books that put women in meaningless situations. In those that make them look stupid. That my mom has to make a deal with aEnglish - Español
I hate the books that put women in meaningless situations. In those that make them look stupid. That my mom has to make a deal with a stranger to employ his son in the family bakery business in exchange for him being my partner at my sister's wedding? Bad very bad. And that I accept it as Good and valid even if I don’t agree? Worse, much worse.
The book starts more or less well. Wendy is on her way to bring a cake for a celebration and almost runs over a teenager who is crossing the avenue on a skateboard. Only her old vehicle, the skateboard and the cake suffer damage and she doesn’t have time to make a new one. Then the teenager's father arrives, very worried about his son.
He is the most beautiful man on the face of the earth and after verifying that his son is well, doesn’t offer to buy a cake to replace the damaged, but calls directly to the best pastry in the city to order one the very pedantic, who believes that everything can be solved with money, which he has a lot, obviously.
Wendy doesn’t accept it and she goes to her business to solve the problem. Very good for Wendy up there, but from the next day on she becomes what Hunter (the beautiful man) and her family want.
But it's not just that the book makes Wendy look bad, but in the end did also Hunter because, despite being supposedly a very intelligent man, who together with his brother managed to create a company now billionaire, makes things that are of people low on brain and influenceable.
And it's the book I've read that most has the word "fucking".
If I wrote this review similar to the book it would read like this: The fucking worst thing about this fucking book is that it is so fucking predictable that you always know what fucking will happen.
El libro comienza mas o menos bien. Wendy va de camino a llevar un bizcocho para una celebración y casi atropella a un adolescente que va cruzando la avenida en patineta. Solo sufren daños su viejo vehÃculo, la patineta y el bizcocho y no tiene tiempo de hacer uno nuevo. Luego llega el padre del adolescente muy preocupado por su hijo.
El hombre mas hermoso sobre la faz de la tierra y tras verificar que su hijo está bien, no se ofrece a comprarle un bizcocho para reemplazar el dañado, sino que llama directamente a la mejor pastelerÃa de la ciudad para ordenar uno el muy pedante, quien cree que todo se puede resolver con dinero, que tiene mucho, obviamente.
Wendy no lo acepta y se va a su negocio a resolver el problema. Muy bien por Wendy hasta ahÃ, pero del dÃa siguiente en adelante se convierte en lo que Hunter (el hermoso hombre) y su familia quiera.
Y es el libro que he leÃdo que mas tiene la palabra “fuckingâ€�.
Si escribiera esta reseña semejante al libro se leerÃa asÃ: Lo fucking peor de este fucking libro es que es tan fucking predecible que siempre sabes lo que fucking pasará. ...more
Kenji Kishimoto is my favorite character, after Warner of course.
“Maybe it sounds weird to say, but I know I could love the shit out English - Español
Kenji Kishimoto is my favorite character, after Warner of course.
“Maybe it sounds weird to say, but I know I could love the shit out of someone. I feel it, in my heart. This capacity to love. To be romantic and passionate. Like it’s a superpower I have. A gift, even. And I’ve got no one to share it with.�
In this novel from Kenji's point of view is that you learn that not everything is what it seems. That because he is always joking doesn’t mean that Kenji is a carefree person. On the contrary, he feels responsible for being the pillar of his friends, never failing, always smiling and creating a good environment for others. He carries a heavy burden on his shoulders, plus the burden of being the best friend and the first hand of the Supreme Commander, aka Juliette.
“I’m a big, raw, bleeding heart, and I spend my days pretending not to notice that I want more. That I need more.�
We see first-hand how difficult the separation between Juliette and Warner is from the revelations of Juliette's lost sister. And also how Kenji and Nazeera relate, which I need more of, please.
“I’m lonely but I’m not alone. My body works, my brain works, I’m alive. It’s a good life. I have to make a conscious effort to remember that. To choose to be happy every day. If I didn’t, I think my own pain would’ve killed me a long time ago.�
But the most important thing is that this novella is absolutely necessary to read it before the Fifth Book of the series, because the end changes everything.
En esta novela desde el punto de vista de Kenji es que te enteras que no todo es lo que parece. Que porque ande siempre bromeando no significa que Kenji es una persona despreocupada. Todo lo contrario, el se siente responsable de ser el pilar de sus amigos, de nunca desfallecer, de siempre sonreir y crear un buen ambiente para los demás. Lleva una fuerte carga sobre sus hombros, mas la carga que significa ser el mejor amigo y la primera mano de la Comandante Suprema, aka Juliette.
Pero lo mas importante es que esta novela es absolutamente necesario leerla antes que el Quinto libro de la serie, porque el final lo cambia todo. ...more
If you are looking for a book that is sexy, funny, with interesting characters and an excellent story, look no further. This book is English - Español
If you are looking for a book that is sexy, funny, with interesting characters and an excellent story, look no further. This book is all that and then much more. But you also have to take into account that contain graphic sex. If that offends you, then it is definitely not for you.
The first paragraph definitely starts this story:
"I know you hate surprises, Stella. In order to communicate our expectations and provide you with a reasonable schedule, you should know that we are ready for the grandchildren."
All Stella could think was: "Babies meant husbands. Husbands meant boyfriends. Boyfriends meant dating someone. Dating meant sex."
Stella haven’t had good experiences with sex. She never had a boyfriend, she only had blind dates arranged by her mother, that have not finished well at all. She is 30 years old and has not married, she is a nerd, work is her life, has some extravagances and she is a high-functioning autistic (formerly called Asperger).
Taking the advice of a co-worker Stella decides to hire a professional to help her with her sex issues and made a proposition to Michael, who by policy does not accept, but the extra money will help for his mother health.
Michael is half Vietnamese, talented, with a body of scandal, who for his family situation sees the need to work as a escort once a week, who makes a stop in his career to help in the family business.
Seeing them interact is a delight. Don’t miss this one.
Todo lo que Stella pensó fue: “Niños significa esposo. Esposo significa novio. Novio significa tener citas. Tener citas significa sexo�.
Stella no ha tenido buenas experiencias con el sexo. Nunca ha tenido novio, solo ha tenido citas concertadas por su madre, las cuales no han terminado para nada bien. Tiene 30 años y no se ha casado, es una nerd, trabajar es su vida, tiene algunas extravagancias y es autista de alto funcionamiento (antes llamado Asperger).
Tomando el consejo de un compañero de trabajo, Stella decide contratar a un profesional para que la ayude con el sexo y le hace una proposición que Michael por polÃtica no acepta, pero el dinero le servirá para ayudar a su madre.
