I loved Rule Archer since the first moment I ever laid eyes on him. He was everything I shouldn't want and the only person I went out of my way to not try and please. He only saw me as a brat, as an entitled, stuck up princess but worse than that all he saw when he looked at me was his deceased twin brother's girl. It broke my heart because as much as I had loved Remy Archer there was never anything romantic between us and no matter how hard I tried to convince myself that loving Rule was a terrible idea, my poor heart just wouldn't listen. We tolerated each other, barely. We forged an uneasy alliance until one night I had too much to drink and changed the way we were forever. Suddenly life long secrets were no longer hidden and the one thing I always wanted for myself seemed obtainable as long as I was willing to go through hell to hold onto it.

Shaw Landon was a class act and I had no idea what to do with her. She was tied to my family, tied to the person that was my other half so I tolerated her and her haughty attitude because I didn't have any other choice. What I didn't know was that a short skirt and too many cocktails on her birthday was going to change my outlook on her for the rest of my life. Some people thought I hid behind all my tattoos and piercings, that I tried to distance myself from my dead twin, Shaw saw through it all and wasn't scared of what was underneath.
We weren't supposed to be together, weren't supposed to be anything except uncomfortable acquaintances but that all changed in the blink of an eye. Now I had to figure out just how a girl like her and a guy like me were supposed to be in love without destroying each other. Add in her custom made ex and two disapproving sets of parents and the whole situation sounded to me like it was more trouble then it was worth.

Recommended for mature readers due to sexual content, language and drinking

Adorei!

Há muito, muuuuuuuuuuuuuito tempo queria ler esse livro. Desde quando comecei o meu vício por leituras, ele sempre estava na lista e eis, que do nada, veio ele na mente e peguei logo. E gostei! Esperava mais? Sim. Mas gostei dele da mesma forma.

Comecei lendo a tradução da editora "Na sua pele" e - p.q.p - não tava aguentando com tanto "mina" pra lá e "cara" pra cá. Parecia que foi traduzido por um adolescente, um porre. Daí resolvi pegar na tradução de fã (quem nunca?!) e até que estava razoável e não colocaram trilhões de gírias bregas, mas com muitos errinhos (faz parte!). Mas, não me aguentei e peguei logo a versão original, se eu tivesse feito isso desde o inicio, teria aproveitado mil vezes a leitura. :/

Enfim... Essa história é sobre a perda de fé na vida, família e amor. Rule é um cara que vai vivendo cada dia como se fosse o último, sem pensar nas consequências. A cada dia uma mulher diferente, com uma carreira brilhante e amigos leais. Porém, nem tudo são flores...
Já Shaw vive uma vida que não é dela. Nunca diz 'não' pra nada e nem ninguém. E deixa que as pessoas controlem a sua vida. Até que, finalmente Rule chega e destrói todas as barreiras.

Gostei muito da história e da forma gradativamente que foi desenrolando. Mesmo a Shaw sendo apaixonada pelo o Rule há anos, não fica aquela coisa de paixão fervorosamente enlouquecida entre eles. Um vai conhecendo o outro, se tornando amigos para depois irem para algo a mais.

Adorei os personagens secundários. Dooooooooooida pra ler a história do Rome *-*

Se recomendo?! Claaaaaro! :D :D
