Blog Tour: BRAXTON di Adelia Marino

April ha sempre saputo che frequentare un biker potesse essere pericoloso, e ne ha avuta la conferma quando ha interrotto la relazione con Silence, il Vicepresidente del Club Cobras. L’uomo non solo l’ha minacciata, ma le ha anche rubato ciò che ha di più prezioso: i ricordi di una persona importante e di un dolore indimenticabile che l’ha marchiata come fuoco sulla pelle e nel cuore. 

Braxton è il Vicepresidente dei Souls, l’MC Club rivale. Ha sempre voluto mantenere la pace ed evitare il più possibile di avere a che fare con i Cobras, ma poi è arrivata lei e ogni cosa è stata messa in discussione. Una notte, Braxton accorre in aiuto di April e giura di aiutarla. Si ripete che lo fa solo perché è così che agisce il Club, ma la passione è un fuoco che divampa e, se da un lato può scaldare, dall’altro può anche distruggere tutto ciò che incontra sul suo cammino. E l’amore, con la sua forza incontrollabile, spesso offre un conto salato da pagare.

Le CosmoGirls partecipano, grazie all'autrice che ci ha dato questa possibilità, a questo BT e lo fanno portandovi ad ascoltare le tracce musicali che hanno tenuto compagnia non solo alla scrittrice, ma anche ai protagonisti del romanzo. La musica è parte integrante di ognuno di noi, iniziamo a conoscerla quando siamo neonati, è come un'amica fedele che non ti delude mai. Tendiamo infatti sia nei momenti di pura felicità, di divertimento, nei momenti tristi, di delusione o semplicemente per farci compagnia mentre guidiamo, cuciniamo o siam presi da qualche faccenda ad ascoltarla. Le soundtrack sono presenti anche nei film e perché non inserirle anche nei libri?

Diamo inizio alle danze...

You don’t own me – SAYGRACE, G-Eazy

You don't own me

You don't own me

Woah, let's go

But I'm Gerald and I can always have just what I want

She's that baddest I would love to flaunt

Take her shopping, you know Yves Saint Laurent

But nope, she ain't with it though

All because she got her own dough

Boss bossed if you don't know

She could never ever be a broke ho

You don't own me

I'm not just one of your many toys

You don't own me

Don't say I can't go with other boys

Don't tell me what to do

And don't tell me what to say

Please, when I go out with you

Don't put me on display

You don't own me

Don't try to change me in any way

You don't own me

Don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay

Don't tell me what to do

And don't tell me what to say

Please, when I go out with you

Don't put me on display

R-r-r-really though, honestly

I get bored of basic bitches

She's the baddest, straight up vicious, texting her asking her

If she's alone and if she'd sent some pictures, she said no (what)

Well goddamn, she said come over and see it for yourself

Never asking for your help, independent woman

She ain't for the shelf

No, she's the one

Smoke with her till the weed is gone

Stayin' up until we see the sun

Baddest ever, I swear she do it better than I've ever seen it done

Never borrow, she ain't ever loan

That's when she told me she ain't never ever ever ever gonna be owned

I don't tell you what to say

I don't tell you what to do

So just let me be myself

That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young

I'm free and I love to be free

To live my life the way I want

To say and do whatever I please

Hey hey (you don't own me) oh, no

Oh no no

Hey no no no

Don't you, don't

You don't own me

Na na na na

You don't own me (easy)

You don't own me

Only you – Selena Gomez

Looking from a window above

It's like a story of love

Can you hear me?

Came back only yesterday

I'm moving further away

Want you near me

All I needed was the love you gave

All I needed for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you

Sometimes when I think of her name

When it's only a game

And I need you

Listen to the words that you say

It's getting harder to stay

When I see you

All I needed was the love you gave

All I needed for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you, only you

Uh uh uh only you, only you

Only you, only you, only you

This is going to take a long time

And I wonder what's mine

Can't take no more

Wonder if you'll understand

It's just the touch of your hand

Behind a closed door

And all I needed was the love you gave

All I needed for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you, only you, only you

All I needed was the love you gave

All I needed for another day

And all I ever knew

Only you, only you, only you

Only you

Let it be me (feat. Ava Max) – David Guetta

When you're faded and alone
You need somebody on the phone
Let it be me, let it be me
When she leaves you in the rain
You need a high to kill the pain
Let it be me, let it be me
And I'll show you love the way it supposed to be

Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da

Summer days, winter nights
Ride or die right by you side
Killing time 'till you're ready to see I'm all you need
You're a drunk, you're a fool
I'm a saint, so right for you
When the ship goes down
Look in your dreams, that's where I'll be
'Cause I ne-ne-ne-need you
And I la-la-la-la-love ya
But I wanna-wanna-wanna-wanna
Just stay the night

When you're faded and alone
You need somebody on the phone
Let it be me, let it be me
When she leaves you in the rain
You need a high to kill the pain
Let it be me, let it be me
And I'll show you love the way it supposed to be

Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
And I'll show you love the way it supposed to be

'Cause I ne-ne-ne-need you
And I la-la-la-la-love ya
But I wanna-wanna-wanna-wanna
Just stay the night
And I ne-ne-ne-need you
And I la-la-la-la-love ya
Oh, no-no-no
I won't let you, won't let you go

When you're faded and alone
You need somebody on the phone
Let it be me, let it be me
When she leaves you in the rain
You need a high to kill the pain
Let it be me, let it be me
And I'll show you love the way it supposed to be

Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
And I'll show you love the way it supposed to be
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
Ta-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-ta-da-da-da
And I'll show you love the way it supposed to be

Queste tre tracce, sono quelle che mi ricordano di più Braxton e April, ascoltatele mentre state leggendo il romanzo o a fine lettura e fatemi sapere!

Lasciatevi catturare e trasportare dalle parole, dalle note e dalle immagini... Che BRAXTON MARSHALL sia con voi.
