¡CÓMPRALO YA!
Quick-tempered Bennet Rourke dislikes Darius Lanniker on sight. Darius may be a hotshot city lawyer, but that doesn’t give him the right to sneer at Bennet, his friends, and their college. It doesn’t help that Bennet’s restaurant job has him waiting at Darius’s table. So when his tutor recommends him for an internship at Darius’s Pemberley estate, Bennet isn’t sure he wants it. He’s also not sure he can afford to turn it down.
Darius is a fish out of water in the small college town of Meriton, but something keeps pulling him back there. He’s helping out a friend with business advice, nothing more. If he’s interested in Bennet, it’s not serious. Sure, Bennet challenges him in a way no other man has. But they have nothing in common. Right?
Wrong. Their best friends are falling in love, and Bennet and Darius can’t seem to escape each other. Soon they’re sharing climbing ropes and birthday cake, and there’s a spark between them that won’t be denied. But betrayal is around the corner. Darius must swallow his pride and Bennet must drop his prejudices to see the rainbow shining through the storm clouds.

Top Ten | Libros abandonados

¡Buenas tardes! ♥

Ya casi se acaba abril, queda menos de cuarentena y poco a poco (esperemos) las cosas irán volviendo a la normalidad. De momento, precaución y responsabilidad para que lo que hemos conseguido hasta ahora no se vaya al traste. A mí la verdad es que entre escribir y leer este tiempo se me está pasando rápido, aunque este mes no me he sentido muy con ánimos de dedicar a blogger... a ver si poco a poco recuperamos la normalidad.

¿Qué mejor que un top para entretenernos? En esta ocasión os voy a mostrar el top diez libros que he abandonado. Lo cierto es que no soy muy de abandonar lecturas... tiendo a intentar terminarlo a menos que el caso sea tremendamente exagerado, pero sí que tengo algunos en standby, a la espera de que quizá algún día los retome. ¿Listos?

Bay village 1 - Flechazo y malentendido Ni tú eres un príncipe, ni yo he perdido un zapato Aprendiz de diosa 1 - Aprendiz de diosa #Lovestruck 1 - #Moonstruck Bajo el cielo púrpuro de Roma 2 - Traición

Reseña | Starstruck

Starstruck | Opposites attract #1 | LJ Stark
TÍTULO: Starstruck
AUTORA: L.J. Stark
GÉNERO: Romance contemporáneo
EDITORIAL: Autopublicado
PÁGINAS: 207
SAGA: Opposites attract #1
Peter
I was a working actor struggling to make rent when I scored a part in Aiden Hunt's latest blockbuster.
Too bad the man himself turned out to be rude, abrasive and annoyingly cocky. But at least I'd never have to see him again after filming.
Or so I thought.
One drunken wrap party and two gold rings later, I'm married to the bastard and we need to sell a fairytale romance to the tabloids, his legions of fans, and the world.
Falling for him in the middle of all this should be out of the question.
Aiden
Hollywood has a bad habit of chewing up young, starry-eyed actors and spitting them right out. That was what I thought would happen to Peter Czerny, and I didn't care. He was rude, self-righteous, and...distracting.
Ending up married to him was an inconvenience, but I could use it for my own gain.
I just didn't bank on Peter getting under my skin. He slipped into my life like he's always belonged there, and we have an attraction that my body can't deny.
I just need to get him out of my system.
Then we can both go back to our two separate lives.
Somehow, playing a role has never felt this complicated.

Lunes musicales | Level of concern

¡Buenos días! ♥

El blog lo tengo un poquito abandonado, ya lo siento. Tengo que centrarme un poquito más (y no es por falta de material, tengo entradas pendientes a porrillo... es falta de ganas y ya sabéis que cuando estoy apática prefiero desconectar y retomarlo con fuerza al poco) y sobre todo tengo que encontrar tiempo para pasar a leeros, ¡a ver si esta tarde me pongo a ello!

Hoy os traigo la canción Level of concern de Twenty One Pilots. Me encanta este grupo y el año pasado tuve la oportunidad de verlos en concierto aquí en Bilbao y... ♥♥♥ Pasará un tiempo antes de que el asunto «conciertos» se normalice, pero siempre me quedará el recuerdo jajaja

Esta canción la han sacado en plena cuarentena y trata precisamente de este tema. Me encanta cómo sus familias no solo forman parte de la canción sino también del vídeo... y el mensaje que mandan al final #QuédateEnCasa.


¿La habíais escuchado?

Espero que estéis llevando bien la cuarentena y que estéis todos sanos ♥

SAGA: Enemies to lovers #2
Other than his most prized Lamborghini, Karl Andrews has nothing to his name. He’s down on his luck and his dollar, and his dream of becoming a professional chef is looking more and more like a pipe-dream. Even less than a pipe-dream when restaurants won’t even take him on as a waiter.
And he won’t ever, no not ever, consider selling his one possession. No matter how much he could make from it. Just wasn’t going to happen.
He’d rather . . . rather . . .
Hell, he’d rather apply for that position to be a Girl Friday.
Other than the title, the job sounds all right. Bit of cooking, cleaning—nothing he can’t handle.
Really.
Until he goes to the interview and discovers the man looking for the help is the same man he’d bullied, mocked, terrified as a boy. But Paul Hyte is obviously a better man, gracious and forgiving. And trusting—as the biggest part of the job requires looking after his son.
Despite the initial forgiveness, things are tentative between Karl and Paul, and they’ve both got to reconcile their pasts if they want any type of proper closure. As the two men learn more about each other an undeniable attraction grows between them—but can the two manage to forge a future together on such a rocky past and complicated present?

Querida mamá:
Puede que llegue un poquito tarde a la boda de la prima Missy. He tenido una semana terrible. ¿Te acuerdas de la cita a ciegas de la que te hablé? Pues resulta que era con un demonio auténtico, que, para colmo, me mordió. Después, unos cazadores de vampiros empezaron a perseguirme por toda la ciudad y… bueno, lo mejor de todo es que he conocido a alguien fantástico. Es sexy y tiene seiscientos años. Hemos llegado a un trato: él me va a explicar cómo funciona el mundo de los vampiros y yo, a cambio, le ayudaré a poner fin a su eterna existencia. O quizás le convenza para que siga viviendo a mi lado. Tal vez lo veas un poco complicado así de entrada. Pero piensa en lo mejor: puede que consiga ir a la boda de la prima Missy con pareja. No me digas que eso no te haría ilusión…
Tu hija que te adora,
Sarah

Dumped by the fifth girl in two years and abandoned by his best friends, Reid Glover is alone and in need of a home.
Desperate, he interviews to become a live-in manny aboard widowed Sullivan Bell’s yacht, the Aquarian.
The job? Not to look after thirteen-year-old Joanna. No, this child-mastermind needs Reid to befriend her dad, urge him to participate more in family life, encourage him to date, oh, and become his closest confidant and help him unleash his bottled emotions.
No pressure.
At least he’s not entirely out of his depth.
Okay, so he may have a slight aversion to the ocean. And possibly attract more than his fair share of misadventure.
But he is a pro at crying.
Watch out, Sullivan. Reid is on his way with a family-sized carton of tissues. He will help Sullivan through his fears. Will help him find love again.
Will absolutely not fall for him in the process...
Caution, Cancer, how long will you fool yourself?

They don’t play for the same team. Or do they?
Jamie Canning has never been able to figure out how he lost his closest friend. Four years ago, his tattooed, wise-cracking, rule-breaking roommate cut him off without an explanation. So what if things got a little weird on the last night of hockey camp the summer they were eighteen? It was just a little drunken foolishness. Nobody died.
Ryan Wesley’s biggest regret is coaxing his very straight friend into a bet that pushed the boundaries of their relationship. Now, with their college teams set to face off at the national championship, he’ll finally get a chance to apologize. But all it takes is one look at his longtime crush, and the ache is stronger than ever.
Jamie has waited a long time for answers, but walks away with only more questions—can one night of sex ruin a friendship? If not, how about six more weeks of it? When Wesley turns up to coach alongside Jamie for one more hot summer at camp, Jamie has a few things to discover about his old friend... and a big one to learn about himself.
