Hace muchos lunes que no os traigo esta sección, que aquí tenéis una nueva canción para empezar la semana. En esta ocasión os traigo una que no es nueva, pero que me ha dado últimamente por volver a escuchar en bucle así que me apetecía compartirla por aquí, y la elegida es Can I Be Him de James Arthur. Creo que en España este chico no tiene el reconocimiento que merece... una pena.
Yo lo conocía allá por el 2012 viendo The X Factor UK (lo admito, soy una friki de este programa y aunque estos últimos años no lo he estado siguiendo —igual hasta me pongo esta tarde con la tarea jajaja— me he visto casi todas las ediciones de UK y USA. Mucho mejores que las de aquí, sin duda alguna). Tiene una voz que me encanta y sus canciones son muy pegadizas.
It’s a classic story: Boy meets girl, girl breaks boy’s heart, boy pretends to be gay to get back at girl, girl outs boy to everyone on Facebook
Okay, maybe it’s not that classic. But it’s what happened to me.
When I bump into my cheating ex and catch sight of the moon-sized rock on her finger, there’s only one option to save face: pretend to be dating my gay best friend, Declan.
And when she outs me on Facebook and everyone I know sees it, there’s still only one option: keep pretending to be dating Declan.
And when Declan and I have to kiss to keep up the ruse and it turns out there’s actually a spark between us (more like a blazing inferno, if truth be told) there’s once again only one option…
TÍTULO: Nota que estoy aquí AUTORA: Anyta Sunday GÉNERO: New Adult EDITORIAL: Autopublicado PÁGINAS: 72 ¡CÓMPRALO YA!
Jacob está en un apuro económico y necesita encontrar compañero de piso de forma urgente ¿y qué mejor manera de conseguirlo que poner anuncios por todo el campus? Pero parece que alguien está haciéndolos desaparecer, lo que lleva a Jacob a escribir al misterioso ladrón de anuncios quien, contra pronóstico, contesta a su nota.
¿Pero quién es este Sr. X con quién ha empezado a intercambiar mensajes?
¿Y cómo es posible que Jacob se esté enamorando de él?
When homicide detective Dexter J. Daley’s testimony helps send his partner away for murder, the consequences—and the media frenzy—aren’t far behind. He soon finds himself sans boyfriend, sans friends, and, after an unpleasant encounter in a parking garage after the trial, he’s lucky he doesn’t find himself sans teeth. Dex fears he’ll get transferred from the Human Police Force’s Sixth Precinct, or worse, get dismissed. Instead, his adoptive father—a sergeant at the Therian-Human Intelligence Recon Defense Squadron otherwise known as the THIRDS—pulls a few strings, and Dex gets recruited as a Defense Agent.
Dex is determined to get his life back on track and eager to get started in his new job. But his first meeting with Team Leader Sloane Brodie, who also happens to be his new jaguar Therian partner, turns disastrous. When the team is called to investigate the murders of three HumaniTherian activists, it soon becomes clear to Dex that getting his partner and the rest of the tightknit team to accept him will be a lot harder than catching the killer—and every bit as dangerous.

Finn
Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part; what’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner, an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. The unit has never had a human in it, and Marcus—or as I like to call him, Fangy McFangface—would really prefer to keep it that way. He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not. But what he doesn’t know is that I didn’t join the unit because I was tired of being a homicide detective, I joined because there is someone after me. They’ve already taken enough from me and I’m afraid they’re going to take all of me if I don’t find someone to help. That’s all Marcus was supposed to be, but now, he’s so much more and I can’t imagine my life without him. Marcus
The moment the pesky human walked through that door, I knew I had to get rid of him. He’s charming and almost everyone else instantly loves him, but he doesn’t understand how risky it is being part of this unit as a human. But as I get to know the stubborn man, I learn that perhaps he’s not as naive as I once thought. And maybe he’s what I needed to realize there is more to life than just work and my dog. A group arises who is threatening to disrupt the alliance between the humans and the vampires, but Finn is the one who shows me how strong that alliance can be and reminds me why it’s worth protecting. When threats hit closer to home, I realize I would do anything for Finn because he’s brought so much joy to my life—and because he’s mine.

«Nunca, nunca te acuestes con tu jefe.»
Célian Laurent es el hombre más deseado de Manhattan, heredero de una rica familia y mi nuevo jefe.

Pero mi vida no es perfecta como la suya y necesito este trabajo, así que haré todo lo posible por evitar a Célian… y la tentación.
It’s not easy for a young gay artist like Jordan Carson to grow up in Jefferson, Wisconsin, where all anyone seems to care about in middle school and high school are the sports teams. But Jordan was lucky. He met Owen Nelson in the second grade, and they’ve been BFFs ever since. Owen is a big, beautiful blond and their school’s champion wrestler. No one messes with Owen, or with anyone close to him, and he bucks popular opinion by keeping Jordan as his wingman even after Jordan comes out at school.

¿Qué tal va junio? Poco a poco volvemos a la normalidad, algunos aún tenemos más tiempo del normal entre manos, otros ya estáis pudiendo volver al trabajo y a una rutina como la de antes y otros estáis de vacaciones.
Si me habéis estado siguiendo estos meses, habréis visto que prácticamente todo lo que he leído desde marzo ha sido en inglés. Con el acceso limitado a compras físicas empecé a tirar mucho del KU (y la verdad es que KU tiene un catálogo muy amplio de libro tanto en inglés como en español, pero admito que cada vez que hago uso de este servicio tiendo más a leer títulos extranjeros, no me preguntéis por qué), así como de algunos servicios de reseñas que en España no son del todo conocidos (sé que algunos blogueros que sigo los usan, pero diría que mucha gente ni a oído hablar de estas webs), así que he decidido hacer una pequeña entrada hablándoos de ellos por si os interesa.
Ashton
If there’s one thing I know, it’s how to play the game…both on and off the field. If it hadn’t been for that one teenage slipup where I kissed Beau Campbell, I’d be able to keep fooling myself. Football is the one thing I use to distract myself from the truth, and when I screw-up and lose the game I love, I find myself right back in Fever Falls. And right back face-to-face with Cranky Campbell, who hates me even more than he did when we were kids. Whatever magic he held over me then is still there. As much as I fight it, I still want him. And I always get what I want…well, except with Beau, who constantly calls me on my crap. Why do I like that so much? Beau
I might’ve spent years watching Ash live out my dream—without the off-field antics and orgies with women, at least—but I’ve made a good life for myself. I’m a firefighter, and I coach my brother’s football team for those with developmental disabilities. But when Ash swings back into town armed with his monster ego and an arsenal of stupid nicknames, everyone is in awe of him. Nope, not me. I don’t care if our kiss years ago was responsible for my sexual awakening. I won’t fall for Ashton Carmichael. Though that resolution would be a whole lot easier if he wasn’t so tempting. Once he finds his way into my bed, I’m screwed—in more ways than one. But there’s more to Ash than meets the eye, buried beneath his ego, sarcasm and how we burn up the sheets together. Soon, it’s more than a game. We don’t just get each other fired up, we just might win each other’s hearts.
Too bad things are never that simple…
Cursed, mated, and in for the fight of their lives…
Warlock Nate Hawthorne just wants a cup of coffee. Is that too much to ask? Apparently. Because instead of precious caffeine, all he gets is cursed by a pack of werewolves who want to use him for his magic. Now the only way to fix the damage is a mate bond to a grumpy and oh-so-sexy alpha in the rival pack, who happens to hate him. This is so not how he wanted to start his day.
Ian Armitage never intended to take Nate as his mate. The Hawthorne family can’t be trusted. Ian knows that better than anyone. The fact that he’s lusted after the way-too-gorgeous man for years? Totally irrelevant. Ian’s just doing what is necessary to protect his pack. This whole mating arrangement has nothing to do with love and never will. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it.
Nate and Ian will have to work together if they have any hope of staving off the pack’s enemies and averting disaster. That’s assuming they can stop arguing (and keep their hands off each other) long enough to save the day…
Ya es junio, y la verdad es que incluso con pandemia y confinamiento (o puede que más bien por su culpa), para mí hemos llegado a este mes en un visto y no visto... Ahora queda ir volviendo a la normalidad poquito a poco, mientras tratamos de sobrevivir al calor (ufff).
¿Qué mejor forma de empezar la semana que con algo de música? Hoy os traigo una canción que seguro a estas alturas habréis escuchado todos: Enemigos de Aitana y Reik. La verdad es que Aitana me gusta mucho y en cuanto escuché esta canción por primera vez no pude evitar ponerla en bucle. ¿La habéis oído?
