Review: Jay: Castle Ink #2

Jay: Castle Ink #2 by Amy Davies

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Rachel is a crazy bitch and left our hero's mind fucked up.
She teased him of his feelings, used him only for sex, and rubbed another guy she took home to an ONS in the face of our hero. She humiliated him and when she saw him with another woman she had a fit of jealousy and tried to have sex with him again. He refused to be used again and she was furious with him.
He really had feelings for her and wanted more.
The bitch leaves and still lies about the reasons for her departure, putting the blame on him. What a bitch!
He ends up meeting Cassie, our heroine, and is charmed by her, but all his insecurities appear at various times almost fucking everything up.
Rachel, the bitch, is always in his thoughts. He looks pathetic in several scenes.
Cassie has also left an abusive relationship and is afraid. But she's charming and that's all he imagined in a partner.
She is intelligent, humorous, loves tattoos, loves animals, superheroes and movies. She's perfect for him.
There are scenes where we feel like slapping the hero's face so he will not be a fool anymore. He does a lot of shit and is an asshole.
The bitch comes back causing more trouble and leaving destruction in her path.
Her ex also appears out of nowhere causing problems.
We have a satisfactory HEA.

Review: Goalie

Goalie by M.E. Carter

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Eu li várias resenhas negativas e então resolvi ler o livro para ver qual era a coisa toda.
A autora escreveu uma história bem realista e que não vai deixar aquela sensação boa ao terminar a leitura, mas faz pensar.
O herói é um atleta profissional que transa com as groupies que cercam os jogadores do time dele. Durante os 10 anos em que foi casado com a heroína e tiveram os 3 filhos deles ele trai a esposa dele inúmeras vezes com mulheres diferentes. O herói deixa o leitor com muito ódio e nojo do comportamento dele.
Ela enfim acorda para a situação e o chuta para fora de casa e pede o divórcio. A heroína é a típica que foi traída e foi a última a ficar sabendo de tudo.
Ele reluta em aceitar a responsabilidade pelo ocorrido e continua cometendo os mesmos erros.
Nossa heroína fica firme nas posição dela e aos poucos vai ficando mais forte e independente apesar de ainda continuar amando o herói.
Eu confesso que se estivesse no lugar dela eu chutaria a bunda dele e não tocaria mais nele nem com a ponta do meu dedo.
Mas ela aos poucos vai perdoando e ele realmente tenta mudar o caráter dele e se tornar uma pessoa melhor.
Eu fiquei esperando ele trair novamente até o final e fiquei com a sensação de que ela vai ter uma vida muito difícil tentando ter paz sabendo que ele não vai estar lá fora transando com outra mulher.
A confiança nunca mais será a mesma e não sei se mesmo um grande amor vai sustentar o casamento deles. Mas ele pareceu estar disposto a mudar e realmente aos poucos foi demonstrando isso.
Gostei da leitura e mais um traidor para minha lista de leitura.
--------------
I read several negative reviews and then I decided to read the book to see what was the whole thing.
The author wrote a story very realistic and it's not going to let that feeling good when you finish reading, but makes you think.
The hero is a professional athlete who has sex with his groupies that surround the players of his team. During the 10 years he was married to heroin and had 3 children he cheated his wife numerous times with different women. The hero leaves the reader with a lot of hate and disgust of his behavior.
She finally wake up to the situation and kick him out of the home and asks for a divorce. The heroine is the typical who was cheated and was the last to know everything.
He is reluctant to accept responsibility for what happened and keep making the same mistakes.
Our heroine is firm in her position and gradually gets stronger and independent despite still loving the hero.
I confess that if I was in her place I'd kick his butt out and wouldn't touch him anymore even with the tip of my finger. But she will slowly forgiving and he really tries to change his character and become a better person.
I was waiting for him to cheat again until the end and I got the feeling that she's going to have a very hard life trying to have peace knowing he won't be out there having sex with another woman. The trust will never be the same and I don't know if even a great love will sustain their marriage. But he seemed willing to change and actually slowly came to demonstrating that.
I like reading and more a cheater to my reading list.

Highlights:

"Admittedly, I haven’t been exactly celibate since Mari left me."

"there has never been a time in our entire relationship when Santos wasn’t cheating on me. Not in college. Not when we first got married. Not when I was pregnant. Not ever."

"How could you do this to me? To us? How could you humiliate me like that in front of everyone we know? Do you know what that’s like?"

"You’re not sorry for doing it; you’re sorry you got caught"

“So it never occurred to you that you kissed these whores on the mouth, probably right after they got done sucking someone else’s dick without a condom, did it?”
“God, Santos. It’s a wonder I don’t have herpes in my mouth, you asshole.”

"How many more pieces of myself can be broken before I disappear forever?"

"Have I really changed my patterns enough for Mari to trust me again? Obviously not since I just got a blow job from some random chick."

==>rolando de rir aqui! LOMAOF!

“You’re saying Santos cheated on me for all those years because he might have a medical condition that exacerbates his stupid superstitions?”
“I call bullshit.”
“Why?”
“Why?” I laugh, humorlessly. “Because we were married for ten years. He could have easily come home and gotten his ‘medical condition,’” I sarcastically use air quotes, “… under control with me. But he didn’t. He chose to go out and bang any groupie who was willing to spread her legs for him. No way. He made a choice. Every time.”

==>the prospects don't look very favorable for the couple

“Mari, the kind of trust I broke doesn’t take weeks or months to rebuild. It takes years. Years. You have every right to doubt me. I can promise all day long, but in the end, the only way to help you feel better is to show you. Never be sorry for looking. Never be sorry for reminding me not to let my guard down. This is how we’re going to rebuild what was broken. Together.”

Review: The Accidentals

The Accidentals by Sarina Bowen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I do not usually read YA, but I was positively surprised and could not stop reading. 
The story involved me completely and I liked it a lot.
The heroine's father only appears when the heroine's mother dies of cancer. He was never interested in meeting his daughter and only sent a check every month.
Our heroine was always very curious to meet her father, but she never got the chance and her mother refused to touch the subject.
Throughout history she is overcoming her mother's loss, her new school environment, her relationship with her father, and meeting grandparents who did not know of her existence. And the loss of a friendship and the birth of a new love.
All very well written in a way that engages the reader to the end of the story.

Swink by Adriana Locke

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

==>Review in Portuguese and English.<==

----------
Os dois começam o relacionamento de forma sexual e sem compromisso mas aos poucos vai se tornando mais.
A menina rica apaixonada pelo menino pobre mas que faz ela sentir coisas que ela nunca sentiu antes.
Como mesclar dois mundos tão diferentes e conseguir aceitação da família e da sociedade.
Acompanhe mais uma história que nos prende do início ao fim e que tem o bonus de nos deixar vislumbrar o que acontece na vida dos irmãos.
Eu comecei a leitura e só parei quando chegou ao final e já estou com saudades dos personagens.
Recomendo.
--------
The two begin a relationship in a sexual way and without compromise but gradually becomes more.
The rich girl in love with the poor boy but that makes her feel things she never felt before.
How to merge two worlds so different and get acceptance from family and society.
Follow another story that holds us from start to finish and it has the bonus of letting us glimpse what happens in the life of the brothers.
I started reading and I only stopped when it came to the end and already I miss the characters.
Recommend.

“Why couldn’t you have had Sienna and I first?”
“We had to save the best for last.”
She turns her head until she’s looking at me and winks.
“Good point.”

Review: My Kinda Mess

My Kinda Mess by Lacey Black

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Throughout the previous books we have learned that the heroine's marriage is disintegrating and her husband is always away. And her family does not have much sympathy for him.
Our heroine wants a baby but can not get pregnant and her husband refuses to take tests and claims that they have time and that they need to wait longer.
She is very unhappy and ends up discovering something that puts an end to their marriage.
I liked her family and they are hilarious, but when needed they come together and support each other.
Our hero is wonderful and I loved his brothers.
I really enjoyed the story and recommend it.

And finding that document under our bed was the final nail in the coffin.

Our marriage might be over and it might be the result of something completely unforgiveable that he did, but that doesn’t mean I want him to suffer.

“Seriously? Babe, this is my kinda mess. This is you and me…and our babies.” “It is,” she says softly...

Review:

I bought this book on .Dec 7, 2014. and it was on my reading list.

I do not remember who recommended the reading, but I bought it and added it to my cheater's shelf.

This month I'm trying to get my TBR up-to-date and I've researched my Kindle and discovered this book.

I had read reviews at the time, but fortunately I did not remember anything.

This book evokes so many feelings and their love is so beautiful at the beginning of the reading that we really get touched.

Our supposed hero has had a miserable childhood and fears poverty. He witnessed the death of his mother and sister in extreme poverty. He is a dedicated husband and father, but feels that life is not fair to him and deserves more material things. He envies the wealth and power of the city's elite.

He has a wonderful wife and their lives are simple but full of love and happiness. They are happy and envied by people for their qualities as a couple and as family.

Their crop of wheat suffers a great loss and he seeks employment in one of the factories of the city.

The daughter of the factory owner has an obsession with him and wants him for herself. One of the employees at the same factory has an obsession with our heroine and he wants her for himself.

The two unite to separate the couple and achieve their goals.

But if it had not been for the hero's greed and the choices he made they would not have achieved their goal. 

He began to compare the other woman's wealth and the ease with which she buys everything and is served by servants at any simple request. He even makes love to his wife by thinking of the other woman because she helped him in Christmas shopping and he was charmed by her wealth.

Gradually he moves away from the family and becomes more and more involved with the other woman and being blinded by greed.

Meanwhile the other man who covets our heroine begins to infiltrate their family and make a presence.

I was shocked by the coldness that he leaves the family and is deluded with clothes and cars that the other woman buys for him. He cuts off all kinds of contact with the family, not accepting calls from the wife and ignoring the children. Even at his sons' birthday party he does not appear.

Our heroine is destroyed and the children do not understand what happened.

I confess that I was very sad to accompany a story of love and family so perfect that broken in this way.

He sends divorce papers for her to sign without even coming face to face with her. He sends through the man who from the beginning coveted his wife. This man seeing the suffering and destruction of our heroine begins to regret and feel guilty about his part in the separation of the couple.

The supposed hero gets stuck in his ivory tower with the other woman who is a bitch, expensive clothes, cars and money that in the end are worthless. 

The grass is greener in the neighbor's yard. 

But not everything that glitters is gold.

Never forgetting that the story takes place during the Second World War and that women behaved differently from the present.

My grandmother had to wait until my mother got married to be able to separate from my grandfather who was a great cheater. Because at the time divorced or separated women were not well accepted by society.

I was outraged at her intention to accept the cheater back because she still loved him, but her children had a different opinion. They were disgusted by the abandonment of their father and began to hate him. There is a very strong scene where the children show him what he did to their family.

Our supposed hero turned out in the end besides being greedy, being a great coward who could not bear to face the consequences of his actions.

Our heroine continued to be the wonderful person she was and found happiness.

I finished the book exhausted and with a sadness in my heart. The author gave us strong feelings and a satisfying ending. I would prefer that the supposed hero live with the other woman until the end of his life in great wealth but miserable inside. But I'm a vengeful bitch.

I recommend reading.

#Freedom! #goodreads #reviews

We have to fight against censorship!
We have to be free to express our opinion.
When the reader has reviews taken down or denounced for expressing some opinion about a book is because something is very wrong in the literary world.
The followers/groupies of certain authors simply bullying who has opinion that does not please them is very wrong.
I am sad and disappointed with authors who incite or accept this type of behavior.
These authors only have to lose with this kind of behavior.
This is my opinion.
I write what I feel as I finish reading and refuse to lick boots.

Tenente Evan Arden senta-se em uma cabana no meio do nada, à espera de ordens que irão mandá-lo de volta para casa - isso se ele recebe-las. Além de seu leal cachorro, não tem ninguém por perto para quebrar a monotonia. O tédio é enorme, mas de repente é interrompido quando uma jovem mulher tropeça até seu caminho.

Ele tem duas escolhas - buscá-la de uma distância com seu fiel rifle, ou ousar deixá-la se aproximar da cabana dele e entrar em sua vida.

Por que não? Já faz muito tempo, e caso contrário está sozinho...

Gostei da história e dos personagens apresentados.
Livro com história curta e que introduz a série.

Aqui conhecemos Evan, um ex-militar que agora trabalha como atirador da máfia de Chicago. Ele cometeu um erro em seu último trabalho e agora está exilado até que seu chefe o perdoe ou precise dele.

A mulher que aparece do nada na vida dele é Lia e os dois se conectam de todas maneiras possíveis, hahaha!!!! As cenas são bem quentes. Mas ocorre um desencontro e a história segue somente no próximo livro.

Achei interessante e estou curiosa para ler a sequencia.

É uma história curta e rápida de ler.

Eu gostaria de saber mais sobre o casal e a conexão com a Máfia Russa.

Que venha o próximo!!!!!
