Per tutte le lettrici che hanno amato Finn e Carrie, la scrittrice Jen McLaughlin/Diane Alberts pubblicherà il 14/10/2014 negli Stati Uniti il quarto capitolo della Serie Out of Line, Fractured Lines .
Il primo capitolo di questa serie, Out of Line, verrà pubblicata in italiano a novembre, edito dalla Newton Compton Editori con il titolo Fuori Controllo, spero di darvi presto altre notizie !
The lines we once crossed so easily have widened and torn us apart…
Once upon a time I thought Finn and I would live happily ever after, but real life doesn't always have a happy ending. He's testing my trust, and I'm losing faith in the man I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. He’s the one I trusted to keep me safe, but now he’s the source of my greatest pain…
Forgiveness is fragile, and some fractures never fully heal...
One mistake—a slip in a moment of weakness—might cost me everything I've worked so hard for. The thing about trust is that it's a lot easier to lose than it is to build. Just as I'm about to give up and surrender to the demons from my past, an unexpected threat reminds me what I'm best at: protecting the woman I love. Whether or not she wants me, I will fight for Carrie and our daughter, and I will keep them safe—no matter the cost.
Even if I have to put my life and my heart on the line.
ALLERTA SPOILER!!!
Avevamo lasciato i due protagonisti felici e sereni dopo aver superato un periodo travagliato e complicato che ha messo a durissima prova la loro relazione.
Sposati e con una bambina, li rincontriamo 8 anni dopo. La vita matrimoniale non è mai facile, lo è anche di più se si aggiunge una creaturina di pochi mesi. Ma non è questo il problema, dopo un incidente automobilistico, Finn si ritrova ancora una volta dipendente dagli antidolorifici, quelli che ti mettono KO per ore e ore, ti regalano qualche ora di oblio e aiutano a dimenticare ogni problema, dolore, fisico e mentale.
Finn, un marine, ha già sperimentato questa dipendenza quando era tornato da una missione durante la quale tutto il suo plotone è stato ucciso. Lui è l'unico sopravvissuto. La sindrome da stress post traumatico lo ha quasi fatto impazzire, facendoli credere che Carrie non potesse stare a fianco di un uomo come lui, ossessionato dalle voci dei suoi commilitoni che lo imploravano di aiutarlo e lui totalmente impotente nell'aiutarli.
La storia si ripete, solo che all'inizio Finn non fa capire a sua moglie quello che sta passando, non chiede aiuto né a lei né ad uno specialista. Carrie lo scoprirà nel peggiore dei modi. Litigi, fughe d'amore, sesso riparatore. Le provano tutte per salvare il loro matrimonio. Carrie si sente tradita per tutte le bugie che il marito le ha raccontato, è preoccupata perché adesso c'è un'altra persona che dipende da lei. Dovrà prendere la decisione giusta per tutti loro, ma qual'è? Riuscirà Finn ha riconquistare la fiducia della moglie e recuperare un rapporto che nonostante ogni traversia, li ha sempre uniti anziché allontanarli ?
Il libro è breve, quasi una novella. E' giusto per togliere alle lettrici la voglia di leggere ancora della storia d'amore tra Finn, marine e bodyguard il quale si è innamorato della sua protetta, e Carrie, figlia di un importante politico e psicologa di successo nonché moglie e madre.
Stilisticamente parlando, non ho trovato difetti. Forse ripetitivo in qualche momento ma è una cosa assolutamente trascurabile quando la trama è avvincente e non si desidera altro che arrivare alla fine per sapere che cosa accadrà. Sappiate che non mancheranno nemmeno i colpi di scena...quando si pensa di aver capito tutto, ecco che accade qualcosa che cambia tutte le carte in tavola!!!
Sono stata emotivamente coinvolta da questo romanzo, quando si affronano tematiche come "matrimonio in crisi" le mie antenne di attivano e mi sento coinvolta in prima persona...anche io sono sposata, problemi per adesso non ce ne sono *dita incrociate* ma combatterei anche io fino allo sfinimento per rimettere le cose al giusto posto.
Mi dispiace per gli spoilers ma non c'era altra scelta se volevo darvi un'idea generale di questo libro, Quando si arriva al quarto capitolo di una serie, non è facile omettere i dettagli. Spero mi perdonerete.

Per chi volesse dare una possibilità a questa serie, ecco a voi le trame in inglese dei primi tre libri:
PLUS two bonus scenes AND the original ending to OUT OF TIME!
OUT OF LINE
I always follow orders. My job, my life, depends on it. I thought this job would be easy, all the rules were made crystal clear, but when I met Carrie Wallington, everything got muddy. She's a rule I know I shouldn't break, but damn if I don't inch closer to the breaking point each time I see her. I'm ready to step out of line. And even worse? I'm living a lie. They say the truth will set you free, but in my case...
The truth will cost me everything.
OUT OF TIME
Being Carrie's bodyguard was one thing. Being her boyfriend is another. Every day she's mine is a day the sun shines in my life. Yet our time together is running out. Her father will never think a tattooed Marine will be good enough, so I'll do whatever it takes to be worthy of her love. But the road will take me away from the girl who makes me feel alive--the girl I can't live without.
Time only gets us so far...
OUT OF MIND
All I wanted was to be worthy of Carrie. One mission, just one, and I’d be able to give her the future she deserved. Then everything went wrong, leaving me tainted and broken. Carrie wants me to be who I was, but all that’s left is what they made of me. I’m no good for her. No good for anyone like this. I have to figure out how to move forward. Alone.
Sometimes love isn’t enough…

OUT OF LINE'S QUOTES:
“If I had to watch her kiss another guy, I wouldn't be responsible for my reactions. I couldn't have her, but I didn't want anyone else to have her.”
“I'd curl up with a good romance book with my current book boyfriend and pretend the real world didn't exist for a little while.”
OUT OF TIME'S QUOTES:
Would I ever be able to convince him I loved him exactly how he was, not as a version of what he could be? That I didn’t want him to change at all?
I will not leave you. And if you leave, I will always be here waiting for you when you get back. Whether it’s in a few days, a week, or a freaking year. I’ll be here. I’ll be yours.
OUT OF MIND'S QUOTES:
“I'm here, watching you hate me, and I'm not going anywhere. It's my turn to have the broken heart. I can handle that. But it won't make me stop f*cking caring, damn it.. Without that, I'll keep living, but I'll die alone, because no one else will ever replace you.”
Once upon a time, I'd been sure we would get our happy ending. I'd known, deep down to my soul, that we were meant to be together forever. That I was the best man for her, because no one would make her happier than I could, because our love was just that f***ing strong. I'd been certain of it. I couldn't say the same thing anymore.
