Hoje venho falar de mais um livro mega especial, de uma autora que me conquistou e que escreve super bem: Marie Force.

BOOK INFORMATION:


★★ BRAND NEW RELEASE ★★ 

The hotly anticipated follow up to Five Years Gone is here!
ONE YEAR HOME by Marie Force is available now!

He came home a hero and lost the only woman he’s ever loved...


He came home a hero and lost the only woman he’s ever loved...


John
I have no idea how to survive without my beloved Ava. She had no choice but to move on with her life during my six-year deployment and has now married Eric. I hate him for taking her from me. I’d prefer to wallow in my depression and heartbreak, but the whole damned world wants a piece of the SEAL Team leader who helped capture the world’s most-wanted terrorist. I need help handling the relentless requests, and when Ava sends her new sister-in-law to manage the media circus for me, I’m prepared to hate her on principle. Her brother took my Ava. What else do I need to know about her?

Julianne
It takes five seconds to realize Ava’s ex is going to be the most complicated and difficult client I’ve ever had, but the opportunity to represent the most celebrated man in the world could make my career. I’m determined to do the job, even if I dislike John from the moment I meet him. And I like everyone. So much so that my brothers worry about me being exploited by those who would take advantage of my unwavering love for others. But John… He’s in a class by himself, and his bitterness is a festering wound that I begin to wish I could somehow fix for him. The more time we spend together, the more our mutual disdain morphs into something that feels an awful lot like desire. There’s no way I can want this man, or so I tell myself, and when Eric finds out I’ve developed feelings for the man causing trouble in his new marriage, well…

That’s going to be a hot mess. 



Minhas impressões (My Review)

Quando eu vi ao final do livro Five years gone que o final feliz de John seria com Julianne, a irmã de Eric eu fiquei com receio da confusão que seria, mas Marie Force conseguiu escrever (mais) uma linda história de amor, uma história de superação, de amor, companheirismo, cumplicidade e tudo que um verdadeiro amor deve ter. When I saw at the end of the book Five years gone that John's happy ending would be with Julianne, Eric's sister I was afraid of the confusion it would be, but Marie Force managed to write (more) a beautiful love story, a love story. overcoming, of love, companionship, complicity and all that a true love must have.

John está de volta a vida após perder 5/6 anos lutando pela paz e após ter perdido seus dois melhores amigos nesta guerra, após perder parte da perna esquerda e após perder a mulher que deixou pra trás sem ter contado toda a verdade de sua vida,de sua carreira pra ela...quando ele voltou de sua quase morte e reencontrou Ava ela estava refazendo sua vida após ter esperado o retorno dele por 5 anos. Ava se casou com Eric um homem maravilhoso que a apoiou na vida (está é a história de Five years gone) mas ao reencontrar com John ela indica uma excelente publicista para ajudá-lo com toda a mídia e atenção que o mundo está querendo dele, após ele se tornar um herói americano, quiçá do mundo. Ava indica Julianne sua cunhada. John is back to life after losing 5/6 years fighting for peace and losing his two best friends in this war, losing part of his left leg and losing the woman he left behind without telling her the whole truth of his life, from his career to her... when he came back from his near death and rediscovered Ava she was redoing her life after waiting for his return for 5 years. Ava married Eric a wonderful man who supported her in life (this is the story of Five years gone) but upon reuniting with John she appoints an excellent publicist to help him with all the media and attention the world is wanting from him, after he became an American hero, perhaps of the world. Ava indicates Julianne her sister-in-law.

Quando Julianne e Jonh se encontram apesar de já haver a admiração, há a dificuldade de quem eles são para Ava. E todo o mal humor de John com a situação em que se encontra, precisando dar entrevista sobre sua vida, quando a vida inteira foi treinado para nano falar sobre suas missões, agora a Marinha quer que ele fale para conseguir mais alisamentos, antes que ele possa aposentar. When Julianne and Jonh meet despite the admiration, there is the difficulty of who they are to Ava. And all John's moodiness with the situation he is in, needing to interview his life when his whole life was gone. Trained to nano talk about his missions, now the Navy wants him to talk to get more straightenings before he can retire.

Julianne é uma mulher forte, com alguma experiência em administrar mídias, muito honrada por trabalhar junto do herói nacional, mas ciente das dificuldades que ele tem para se abrir... O que Jules e John não esperavam e nem poderiam sonhar com esta possibilidade era que eles iriam se apaixonar, uma paixão forte e arrebatadora para ambos.  Um amor tão arrebatador que faz com que John consiga tornar a ter esperanças e sonhos. Julianne is a strong woman with some media management experience, very honored to work with the national hero, but aware of the difficulties he has in opening himself. What Jules and John had not expected and could not dream of was that. that they would fall in love, a strong and overwhelming passion for both of them. Such a sweeping love that John can hope and dream again.

Marie Force inseriu partes onde acompanhamos como estão Ava e Eric em sua lua de mel. Essa parte vem para agregar a história de John e Jules e dar um final mais feliz a Eric e Ava. Marie Force inserted parts where we follow how Ava and Eric are on their honeymoon. This part comes to add the story of John and Jules and give a happier ending to Eric and Ava.

Ler sobre os homens e mulheres que buscam a paz do mundo em suas missões do outro lado do mundo me faz admirar esse povo guerreiro, destemido que entrega suas vidas à luta pela paz. Reading about the men and women who seek world peace in their missions on the other side of the world makes me admire this fearless warrior people who give their lives to the struggle for peace.

A Gilded Novel

Book Blurb:

In New York Times bestselling author Marie Force’s dazzling historical romance debut, the clock is ticking for a wealthy Duke who must marry by his thirtieth birthday—or lose his title...

Derek Eagan, the dashing Duke of Westwood, is well aware of his looming deadline. But weary of tiresome debutantes, he seeks a respite at his country home in Essex—and encounters a man digging on his property. Except he’s not a man. He’s a very lovely woman. Who suddenly faints at his feet.
Catherine McCabe’s disdain for the aristocracy has already led her to flee an arranged marriage with a boorish Viscount. The last thing she wants is to be waylaid in a Duke’s home. Yet, she is compelled to stay by the handsome, thoughtful man who introduces himself as the Duke’s estate manager.

Derek realizes two things immediately: he is captivated by her delicate beauty, and to figure out what she was up to, Catherine must not know he is the Duke. But as they fall passionately in love, Derek’s lie spins out of control. Will their bond survive his deception, not to mention the scorned Viscount’s pursuit? Most important, can Catherine fall in love all over again—this time with the Duke?

"...Force has crafted a masterpiece with the perfect amount of romance." —Starred Review from Publisher's Weekly

ABOUT THE BOOK:

The most brazen terrorist attack in history. A country bent on revenge. A love affair cut short. A heart that never truly heals.

That was five years ago. The world has moved on from that awful day, but I’m stuck in my own personal hell, waiting for a man who may be dead for all I know. At my sister’s wedding, I meet Eric, the brother of the groom, and my heart comes alive once again.
The world is riveted by the capture of the terrorist mastermind, brought down by U.S. Special Forces in a daring raid. Now I am trapped between hoping I’ll hear from John and fearing what’ll become of my new life with Eric if I do.
From a New York Times bestselling author, Five Years Gone, a standalone contemporary, is an epic story of love, honor, duty, unbearable choices and impossible dilemmas.

Prologue

Ava

We met in a bar, of all places, a dingy hole-in-the-wall favored by military members from the nearby Navy base in San Diego. I went with a friend from school who was interested in one of the military guys. Before that night, I’d never been there, and I’ve never been back. John was celebrating the promotion of one of his buddies. He crashed into me as I left the ladies’ room and kept me from falling by grabbing my arms to steady me.

Just like in the movies, our eyes met, and my spine tingled with the kind of instantaneous awareness I’d only read about but never experienced personally.

“I’m so sorry,” he said, gorgeous and fierce in his fatigues.

I noticed gold on his collar, a hint of late-day scruff on his jaw and the name WEST in bold black letters on his chest. Intense electric-blue eyes made it impossible for me to look away, even when I was safely back on my feet.

“Are you all right?” he asked.

Realizing I’d been staring at him, I blinked and reluctantly broke the connection. “I… Yes, I’m fine. Thank you for the save.”

And then he smiled, and the tingling began anew.

“I’m John.”

I shook his outstretched hand. “Ava.”

Keeping his hold on my hand, he tipped his head. “You come here often?”

“Never,” I said, laughing. “I’m a first-timer.”

“What do you think so far?”

“I wasn’t impressed until about thirty seconds ago.”

As if he had all the time in the world to give me, he leaned against the wall. “Is that right? What happened thirty seconds ago?”

I thought about taking back my hand but didn’t. “I was saved from certain disaster by a man in uniform.”

“The guy in the uniform is the reason you needed saving in the first place, because he wasn’t watching where he was going. Least he can do is buy you a drink.”

“I wouldn’t say no to that.” I was proud of my witty responses and got the feeling he could more than hold his own in the wittiness department. Across the crowded room, I noticed my friend talking to the guy she’d come to see, and her brows lifted in interest when she saw me with John. He guided me to the bar, placing a proprietary hand on my lower back, and told one of the guys to give me his stool.

“Yes, sir.” The younger man bowed gallantly to me as he took his beer and moved along.

“Do people always do what you say?”

“If they know what’s good for them.” His teasing grin kept the comment from being overly cocky. “What can I get you?”

Deciding to live dangerously for once, I asked for a cosmopolitan.

“Go big or go home,” he said with admiration.

“That’s my motto.” I was so full of shit. I wondered if he could tell I was all talk or what he’d think of me if he knew I usually err much closer to the side of caution than the wild side. I wondered if he could tell I was just barely old enough to drink. I’d turned twenty-one only six months earlier.

When my cosmo and his Budweiser had been delivered, he offered a toast. “To new friends.”

I touched my glass to his bottle. “To new friends.”

“So, where’re you from, Ava?”

“New York.”

“I thought I heard New Yawk in your voice.”

I batted my eyelashes at him. “So four years at the University of California San Diego didn’t scrub the New York out of me?”

Laughing, he said, “Hardly. I know some guys from New York. One of them is from Staten Island, which is about as New York as it gets. I know New York when I hear it.”

“I’m from Purchase, upstate from the city. What about you?”

“I’m from all over. My old man is a retired general. You name it, I’ve lived there.”

“Where’s home?”

“Right here.” He turned that intense gaze on me, and I went stupid in the head. I couldn’t see anything but him. We might as well have been alone in the crowded bar for all I knew. Unlike my friend, who loved men in uniform, I was never turned on by the uniform. Until then. Until John. “You want to get out of here?”

I swallowed hard. It wasn’t like me to leave a bar with a man I’d just met. “And go where?”

“Somewhere we can talk.”

“What do you want to talk about?”

He leaned in so his lips were close to my ear. “Everything. I want to know every single thing there is to know about you.”


That’s how we started. We were intense from the first second we met until the last time I saw him five years ago today. I can’t believe it’s been five years since I looked into those incredible blue eyes or woke to him on the pillow next to me or heard his voice in my ear, whispering words that’re permanently carved into my heart as he made love to me.

The worst part is I have no idea where he is. I don’t know if he’s alive or dead, being held captive or if he’s living his life somewhere else with someone else. I don’t know, and the not knowing is the hardest thing I’ve ever dealt with.

I love him as much today as I ever did. No amount of time could ever change that simple fact of my life. We had two beautiful, magnificent years together, caught up in our own little bubble. He never met my family. I never met his. We didn’t make couple friends. We didn’t talk about the future. We didn’t need to. Our future was decided that first night, and it would take care of itself in due time. I honestly and naïvely believed that.

Now, with hindsight, I realize the bubble was strategic on his part. He gave me everything he had to give, including no promise of tomorrow.

Five years ago today, we watched the horror unfold on live television. A US-based cruise ship blown up by suicide bombers. Four thousand lives extinguished in a heartbeat. Our world permanently changed once again, our country declaring yet another war on terrorists. After 9/11 we thought we’d seen everything. We were wrong.

“I have to go,” he said, grabbing the duffel that stood ready in the front hall closet. He called it his “go bag.” I’d thought nothing of it.

“Where’re you going?”

“I don’t know.”

“When will you be back?”

“I don’t know that either.” He held my face in his hands and gazed at me, seemingly trying to memorize my every feature. “I love you. I’ll always love you.” Then he kissed me as passionately as he ever had and was gone, out the door in a flash of camouflage.

I never saw him again.

I’m not his wife or even his fiancée, so no one notified me of his whereabouts. And three months after he left, when I found a way onto the base in a desperate quest for information, no one there could tell me anything either. I tried to locate his parents and other people he mentioned, but it was like they didn’t exist. I could find no record of a retired general named West in the Marine Corps, Army or Air Force.

Furthermore, an exhaustive search for information on the John West I had known led nowhere. No high school, no college, no military service, no nothing.

Sometimes I wonder if I dreamed the two years we spent together, doing mundane things like grocery shopping, cooking, watching TV and sleeping together after long days at work. But then I’d remember the blissful passion, the scorching pleasure, the desire that ruled us from the beginning, and I’d know I didn’t dream him. I didn’t dream us. We were real, and he was everything to me.

Sitting on the floor in our apartment, surrounded by boxes, I take a few minutes before the movers arrive to memorize every detail of the place where we lived together. I’ve packed his things along with mine, and I’m moving home to New York. Today was my deadline. I gave it five years, and I simply can’t do it anymore. I can’t sit in our home among our things, waiting for something that’s never going to happen.

It’s over. It’s time for me to move on. It’s probably long past time, if I’m being honest with myself. And though I know it’s the right move at the right time, that doesn’t mean my heart isn’t shattering all over again as I dismantle the place where we were us.

My sister is getting married next month. I promised her I’d be home in time to hold her hand through the festivities. Other than occasional trips home for holidays and other occasions, I’ve been gone more than ten years. I bear no resemblance whatsoever to the girl who left home at eighteen seeking independence from her overbearing family at a faraway college out West.

I accomplished all my goals, finishing college, landing a decent job and falling in love with the man of my dreams. I found out what happens when dreams come true and how painful it is when they blow up in your face.

It’s time now to set new goals, to start over, to begin a life that doesn’t have John at the center of it the way it did here. It’ll be nice to be back with people who love me and care about me, even if they tend toward smothering at times. That’s looking rather good to me after years of loneliness and grief.

The intercom sounds to let me know the movers are here. I pick myself up off the floor and steel my heart for the day ahead. I can do this. I’ve been through worse, and I’ll survive this the same way I’ve survived everything else. Despite my resolve, my eyes fill with tears as I press the button that opens the door downstairs to the movers.

It doesn’t take them long to pack my belongings into their truck. I keep with me the things that can’t be replaced—precious photos, gifts he gave me, the clothing he left behind. After taking a final look around the apartment, I pack those boxes into my car, turn my apartment keys into the leasing office and head east, feeling as if I’m leaving behind everything that ever mattered to me.

It’s like I’m losing him all over again. I cry all the way through the desert of Southern California and well into Arizona. I relive every minute I can remember, every conversation, every special moment. I think about what it was like to make love with him and wonder how I’ll ever to do that with anyone but him. Maybe I won’t. Maybe that part of my life ended with him, and even though I’m only twenty-eight now, I’m okay with that possibility. Once you’ve experienced perfection, it’s hard to imagine settling for anything less.

The tears finally dry up somewhere in northern Arizona, but the ache inside… I take that with me all the way to New York, where I will try my very best to pick up the pieces of my shattered life and put them back together into some new version of myself.

After all, what choice do I have?

FORD
By Samantha Chase
Series: 7 Brides for 7 Soldiers #7
Release Date: December 12, 2017


ABOUT THE BOOK

There are three things Ford Garrison wants more than anything: to build, to report to no one, and the chance to live his life without the prying eyes of the good folks of Eagle’s Ridge. Having spent ten years in the Navy as part of their construction battalion, he was able to live out most of that dream. Two out three wasn’t bad, right? Now that he’s out of the service, things aren’t falling into place quite as easily as he hoped and he ends up back home with all eyes on him.

It wasn’t as if Callie had gone out of her way to end up in Ford’s path, but somehow that happened all on its own and the town gossips were having a field day! Could she help it that she was living in the house Ford had hoped to claim as his own or that the work on his grandmother’s ranch meant they were living not fifty-feet away from each other?

Ford was determined to come home, do a job to help his grandmother and leave. Callie James is a distraction and she represents everything he has spent years running away from. Now he’s at odds with his friends, his family and himself about where his home and future are going to be.

Could he walk away from Eagle’s Ridge a second time?

Minha resenha (My review)

Ford Garrison nasceu e viveu em Eagle Ridge, nascido de uma família influente e de posses, sempre foi uma 'sombra' do avô paterno, com quem aprendeu muito sobre marcenaria e construção, mas ao 18 anos resolveu seguir a carreira militar, Ford queria se provar por ele mesmo, ser quem ele é, sem ter toda a cidade sabendo o que ele fez ou deixou de fazer. Mesmo indo para o exército, era com construção que ele trabalhava, reconstruindo ou construindo... e sempre que podia voltava por pouco tempo a Eagle Ridge. Agora ele já saiu do exército e trabalha com construção na Filadélfia, do outro lado do país, ainda continua resistente a voltar para sua cidade natal, mas a sua avó querida sofreu um pequeno acidente e parte da casa dos avós está precisando ser recuperada, e por isso, Ford retorna a Eagle Ridge para ajudar a avó... ele se sente triste por não ter estado com o avô antes de ele falecer e quer estar com a avó, pelo menos para melhorar a casa que ela e o avô construiram juntos há vários anos. Ford Garrison was born and raised in Eagle Ridge, born of an influential family of possessions, was always a 'shadow' of the paternal grandfather, with whom he learned much about carpentry and construction, but at the age of 18 decided to pursue a military career, Ford wanted to prove by himself, to be who he is, without having the whole city knowing what he did or did not do. Even going to the army, it was construction he worked on, rebuilding or building... and whenever he could go back to Eagle Ridge for a little while. Now he has left the army and works with construction in Philadelphia, across the country, still remains resistant to returning to his hometown, but his beloved grandmother suffered a minor accident and part of the grandparents' house needs to be recovered, and so Ford returns to Eagle Ridge to help his grandmother... he feels sorry for not being with his grandfather before he dies and wants to be with his grandmother, at least to improve the house she and grandfather built together several years ago.

O que Ford não imagina é que fosse encontrar uma vizinha da casa dos avôs, na realidade uma 'inquilina' da avó na casa de hóspedes, e que esta moça, uma linda e doce, professora, fosse mexer tanto com os sentimentos dele. What Ford did not realize was that he was going to find a neighbor of the grandparents' house, in fact a grandmother's' in-house'guesthouse, and that this sweet and lovely young lady would be so fussy about his feelings.

Callie James é a filha da antiga ajudante, faxineira, e amiga dos Garrison, os avós de Ford sempre tiveram muito carinho por Callie e sua mãe, e quando Callie se tornou a professora do jardim (crianças de 5 anos) próximo ao Rancho de Margareth Garrison, Margareth oferece que ela more no chalé de hóspedes. Callie James is the daughter of the former helper, janitor, and friend of the Garrison, Ford's grandparents have always been very fond of Callie and her mother, and when Callie became the kindengarden teacher (5 year old) near Margareth's Ranch Garrison, Margareth offers that she lives in the guest cottage.

Callie sempre teve 'uma queda' por Ford, ele foi seu crush da adolescência, mesmo que ele nunca tenha percebido a menina, que é 4 anos mais nova... mas quando Callie e Ford se reencontram e começam a conviver bem próximo é inevitável que a atração e os sentimentos apareçam e se concretizem, fortalecendo o relacionamento. Callie always had a 'fall' for Ford, he was her crush of adolescence, even though he never noticed the girl, who is 4 years younger... but when Callie and Ford met and start to get along very close, it's inevitable that the attraction and the feelings appear and they materialize, strengthening the relationship.

Será que Ford será capaz de aceitar seu destino, de ser o herdeiro do avo para cuidar da construtora Garrison, e com isso retornar a Eagle Ridge definitivamente? Será que Callie poderá ajudar Ford a perceber o quanto a pequena cidade pode ser encantadora assim como todos, ou quase todos, na cidade? Will Ford be able to accept his fate, to be the grandfather's heir to take care of the Garrison builder, and with that return to Eagle Ridge forever? Will Callie be able to help Ford realize how the small town can be as charming as everyone else, or almost everyone, in town?

Só senti falta de um pouco mais de cenas calientes. I missed more hot scenes. 

EXCERPT
“What are you working on out here? More wreaths?”
With a soft laugh, she pulled back and stepped out of his arms. “I am. Doing something like this is normally very soothing for me. When I got home, I came right out here rather than going into the cottage.”
“And did it help?”
Callie shook her head. “Unfortunately, it was so quiet out here, and I’ve already made four of these wreaths so I didn’t even have to think about what I was doing.”
“So your mind immediately went to your mom.”
She nodded. “Exactly.”
Stepping around her, Ford examined the wreath. It looked exactly like the one she had given him for his grandmother’s front door, but now he took the time to look at the details. It seemed so simple at first glance, but when he realized how much time went into weaving the lights and how tedious that could be, he was more than a little impressed. The vine was fragile, and he knew he’d more than likely crush some of it if he tried to do it himself.
Unable to help himself, he reached for one of Callie’s hands and studied it. It was small and delicate. Her fingers were slim and smooth. No wonder she could do work like this. He looked at her face and saw her studying him, her expression serious.
And Callie rarely looked serious or intense. Her features were always relaxed or smiling. This was…different.
He brought her hand to his lips and kissed her palm. “I was just noticing how intricate this work is,” he said gruffly. “I’m a little in awe of what you do.”
“Me? But…what you do is so much more—”
Ford placed a finger over her lips and shook his head. “I’m in awe of you,” he repeated, and slowly pulled her in close again.
Callie’s lips parted on a soft gasp as her eyes met his. And those beautiful eyes seemed to have a million questions in them, and Ford only had one answer.
He kissed her.
Slowly. Sweetly. He savored her as she melted against him. She hummed as her arms wrapped around him and in that instant, Ford knew what he had to do.
He lifted his head and looked down at her. Her lips were wet and her cheeks were flushed and she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. So many nights over the last week they’d been like this, and right now, Ford knew he wanted more.
“Come home with me, Callie,” he murmured against her lips before resting his forehead against hers.
“Yes.”
Never had a single word sounded sweeter.
