Sinopsis: Cuando los compañeros de Rory Macintosh se enteran de que
su estudiosa y tímida amiga nunca ha estado con un chico, deciden que le
ayudarán a perder su virginidad mediante la contratación Tyler Mann, el sexy chico
malo, para hacer el trabajo ... sin el conocimiento de Rory.
Tyler sabe que no es lo
suficientemente bueno para Rory. Ella es inteligente, estudia para medicina,
mientras que él está apenas sobreviviendo a su programa de EMT, con la
esperanza de sacar a sus hermanos más jóvenes del infierno que su madre
drogadicta les ha dejado. Pero él no se puede resistir cuando sus compañeras en
una oportunidad para llegar a conocerla mejor le ofrecen el trato. Hay algo
acerca de su honestidad que lo mantiene regresando cuando él sabe que no debe
...
Dividida entre el sentido común y
el deseo, los dos se encuentran atrapados en una relación apasionada. Pero
cuando la familia rota de Tyler amenaza con destruir su futuro, y la de ella,
Rory tendrá que decidir si se debe cortar sus lazos con el mundo arriesgado o
seguir su corazón, sin importar lo que cueste ...
MI PERSONAJE FAVORITO: Rory es sin ninguna duda una de las mejores protagonistas
que he leído. Es independiente, honesta, luchadora y tiene la cabeza muy bien
amueblada. Es la pareja perfecta para Tyler. Y me encanta porque muchas veces
me sentí identificada con ella.
Opinión: Últimamente estoy leyendo mucha novela del género Young
Adult, por eso en cuanto vi la sinopsis de este libro en NetGalley lo solicite.
En un principio no me esperaba
mucho de el libro porque la protagonista me parecía un poco sosa al principio.
Pero definitivamente vale la pena leerse el libro y es uno de los pocos libros
que me dejan la sensación de querer volver a leerlo en un futuro, ya que
normalmente no releo los libros.
Al principio me daba la sensación
de que iba a ser una copia de Maravilloso
Desastre pero afortunadamente es muchísimo mejor. La trama está más
desarrollada pero no se extiende como en Maravilloso
Desastre donde parece que el libro no vaya a acabar nunca. Los personajes
parecen personas reales, van a la universidad y se les ve que estudian y que
también tienen una vida fuera de la universidad.
Tyler es fantástico,
definitivamente tengo algo por los chicos malos con tatuajes, que pena que solo
se reformen en los libros. Rory me gustó, es una nerd de las ciencias y me
sentí identificada con ella en muchos aspectos, aunque en ese en concreto no,
yo de matemáticas lo justo.
El libro se lee muy rápido, los diálogos
son divertidos y las escenas no son decoradas, si no que todo parece muy real.
La autora ha creado un libro que podría ser la historia de cualquier pareja
universitaria, más menos. Y ahora no puedo esperar a leer la continuación de
esta historia que se centrará en Riley, el hermano de Tyler.

MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER: Rory is undoubtedly
one of the best characters I've read. She is independent, honest, feisty and intelligent.
She is the perfect match for Tyler. And I love her because sometimes I
identified with her.
Opinion: Lately I've been reading a lot of Young Adult books,
so when I saw the synopsis of this book on NetGalley I requested it.
At first I did not
expect much from the book because the main character seemed a little bland at
first. But it is definitely worth reading and is one of the few books that had
left me wanting to read it again in the future, as I usually do not reread
books.
At first I had a
feeling that it was going to be a copy of Beautiful
Disaster but fortunately it is much better. The plot is more developed but
not extended as Beautiful Disaster where seems that the book is not going to
end. The characters seem real people who go to college and they are seen
studying and they also have a life outside the university.
Tyler is fantastic,
I definitely have a thing for bad boys with tattoos, what a shame that they only
get reformed in the books. I liked Rory, she is a science nerd and I felt identified with her in many ways, but not in
that particular, I am really bad at science.
The book is really
fast to read, the dialogues are funny and the scenes are not decorated, all
seems very real. The author has created a book that could be the story of any university
couple, more less. And now I cannot wait to read the continuation of this story
that will focus on Tyler's brother Riley.

I agree that it felt very real. I loved this and am looking forward to the next book.
