She moaned into the kiss and bit his bottom lip. “God…”

Apparently, that was the wrong thing to say because he stopped and left her cold and wanting. She wouldn’t beg, wasn’t that type of girl. But, inside, she could cringe and cry for something she hadn’t had in forever, a surge of passion.

“What’s wrong, Parker?”

Dark, hungry eyes studied her. “I know everything about you, except who you are.”

“I’m me.”

“Exactly.”

She wanted to forget about everything on the outside world. “What does that mean?”

“I’ve worked with you for years, didn’t know it. I protected you from your ex-fiancé’s crap, didn’t know that either. You’re vulnerable and offering me exactly what I want.”

“What’s that?”

He squeezed her body. “You.”

“You’re saying no?” she whispered.

“I’m not going to take you on a couch in a safe house.” His blue eyes neared black. She’d never seen a look more intense, more at war.

He strengthened his hold on her. “You want this?”

She nodded, knowing that this kiss was all she’d ever have of him.

“You’ve wanted this?”

Her eyes sank shut. Parker was calling her on it, and she couldn’t lie. “Yes.”

Long seconds ticked by. Their cheeks touched then he pushed off the couch. “Then that’s why.”

“You know him?” Amber asked.
I glimpsed the confusion on her face.
William.
My secret, my heart.
The beautiful man I’d lain with for hours under the stars, our lives poured out in a torrent of stories and words. The way he held me while I shared the ones that hurt me the most. How he touched me, the way he made me feel incredibly safe. How that hold had escalated from safety to ecstasy as the soft pads of his fingers would dance across my lips when he locked himself to me, the perfect weight of his body, the expression on his face when he came.
The heartbreak in his eyes when I told him goodbye.
I knew it all.

“Yeah.” My voice was soft. “I know him.”

CON UN POCO DI ZUCCHERO - CHIARA PARENTI




A trent’anni suonati Matteo Gallo, aspirante scrittore senza soldi e senza speranze, è costretto a vivere con la sorella Beatrice e “loro”, Rachele e Gabriele, i due scatenatissimi nipotini. Nessuna delle tate finora ingaggiate è riuscita a domarli. Ma ecco che, come per magia, un pomeriggio di fine settembre, un forte vento che spazza le nubi dal cielo porta tata Katie.
Beatrice e i suoi bambini restano subito incantati da questa ragazza inglese un po’ stravagante e scombinata, che fa yoga, mangia verdure, va pazza per i dolci... e che con le sue storie fantastiche e i suoi giochi incredibili è in grado di cancellare l’amaro della vita. Matteo invece cercherà (o crederà) di sottrarsi al suo influsso: ma sarà tutto inutile, perché Katie compirà su di lui la magia più grande. Quella dell'amore.


Due cose mi hanno colpito positivamente di questo libro. La prima è stata scoprire che nonostante la bellissima cover dai tratti femminili e il titolo zuccheroso, il protagonista è un ragazzo. Sarò di parte ma adoro i protagonisti maschili. La seconda è stata la narrazione del disastroso appuntamento del nostro Matteo, intervallata da battute efficacissime. L’ironia utilizzata con intelligenza, senza spingere troppo, è per me un valore aggiunto.


“«Niente va così male che non possa andare peggio.» L’aforisma di Arthur Bloch sulla prima legge di Murphy è attualmente l’imperativo categorico che governa la mia vita, ormai non c’è alcun dubbio.”


Persino il terrore che il protagonista prova nei confronti dell’amore e che esprime con ironia, alla fine risulta più plausibile di un discorsone da Kleenex a portata di mano. Insomma, questo protagonista brillante ha catturato la mia attenzione fin dal principio e non l’ha mai persa, forse proprio per il fatto di prendere i suoi sentimenti sul serio senza esserlo troppo.

Trovo San Valentino una festa più terrificante di Halloween, e la frase «vissero felici e contenti» vera almeno quanto «tranquillo, non sentirai niente».”



L’arrivo di Katie, con tutto ciò che ne deriva, gli fa mettere in discussione se stesso, le sue convinzioni, i suoi progetti. La stravaganza della tata è assodata, ma le reazioni di Matteo non sono divertite, non seguono il suo abituale approccio. Disapprova la leggerezza di Katie ma in realtà lascia trapelare la sua invidia. E la sua attrazione per questo “strano essere” che apparentemente ignora le difficoltà della vita, prendendo tutto come un gioco, cresce di giorno in giorno.

Sono confuso, è come se stessi perdendo il controllo. Nessuno ha mai gettato un tale scompiglio nella mia testa come riesce a fare lei solo avvicinandosi. È qualcosa di vertiginoso, di selvaggio.”

Quello che Matteo però non può ignorare è che la sua famiglia sembra rinascere dalle proprie ceneri grazie alla filosofia della tata, e anche in lui cominciano ad avvenire piccoli grandi cambiamenti, al punto che quello spazio che non sentiva suo e quelle persone dalle quali si teneva a debita distanza, piano piano si trasformano in motivi di gioia. Si concede dunque di andare oltre all’apparenza tutta frizzi e lazzi della giovane che sta rubando il cuore a tutti e ciò che trova non era certo ciò che si era aspettato.

La osservo e penso alle cicatrici nascoste dietro al suo sorriso. Penso che avrebbe tutto il diritto di urlare di rabbia contro tutto e tutti per quello che le è stato portato via e invece ogni parte di lei grida solo gioia di vivere.”


Se avete amato la meravigliosa Mary Poppins, se vi siete mai avvicinati a Federica Bosco (in particolare al divertentissimo “Pazze di me”) e se avete fatto il tifo per l’eccentrica protagonista del film Disney “Come d’Incanto”, questa lettura vi terrà compagnia e vi lascerà un sapore davvero… dolce.

Less than six months ago my life was twisted and flipped on its side. Things have changed so much I barely recognize myself anymore.

I am no longer a Witch.
I no longer hate the Fae. (For the most part)
And the sex-on-a-stick-gorgeous-Fae? He isn't really the Dark Prince.
No, he is the father of my children and with the babies on the way, the land dying and the Mages closing in; alliances will have to be formed if we are all to make it through the war that is coming to our front door.
Between warring Gods and Goddesses, how are any of us supposed to win?

“You’re carrying twins, my twins, and I like this bump. I like the sight of you carrying my children in this beautiful body,” he whispered huskily as he placed both of his palms on my swollen midsection, just in time for the babes to kick him. “They can feel me,” he replied with sincerity. “I already feel them linking us together. We’re a family, and nothing and nobody will change that.”

About The Author

I live in Morgan Utah with my husband, daughter, and dog, Kolo. I write as often as my active daughter will let me and my husband has the patience of a saint. I find inspiration from dreams, people I meet, and life experiences. When I write, I usually end up drinking one too many cans of Peace Tea, eating three too many Fruit by the Foot fruit snacks, and accidentally kicking my pup and best buddy, Kolo, too many times since he loves to sleep under my desk at my feet.
I started writing as a teen, but my fear of the unknown won out every time and I threw everything out. After becoming a mother and deciding to stay at home to raise my beautiful little girl, I tried again when I couldn't stop thinking of ideas. I loved every minute, every hour of sleep lost, and every character that came to life in my mind.
It's strange, but my favorite moments are when I have writer's block because I can turn to my husband and find inspiration through him by just doing what we do best together. Talking, laughing, and just being in love. He doesn't like to read, but he never stops encouraging me to keep going.
Writing has become an important part of my life and every book has a special place in my heart.
