Jamie
Parker Hoffstraeder is gorgeous, cocky, and totally irrational. He also broke my heart when he left town eleven years, four months, and twenty-eight days ago.

Not that I’m counting.

I don’t mind admitting it: I was young. I got burned. I learned my lesson.

But the guy swaggers back into O’Leary like he owns the damn place and suddenly I’m expected to welcome him to my town — to my life — like nothing’s changed?

Yeah, that I mind.

It’s only a matter of time until he’s gone again. And there’s no way I’ll give him a chance to take another piece of me when he goes.

Parker
Jameson Burke is the most arrogant, infuriating human on the planet. He’s also taller, broader, and impossibly hotter than he was before I left town.

But, whatever. It’s fine. I can handle it.

Coming back to O’Leary was supposed to be like coming home. I hadn’t realized that there’s no statute of limitations on how long your first love and former best friend is allowed to hate your guts, or how much bad luck can befall a person in a short time.

But, I can handle that, too… or at least pretend to.

When Jamie and I are thrown together in a blizzard, though, everything changes in the space of one single, scorching night. Suddenly, I’m dreaming of a future I can’t have, and he’s stuck in a past he can’t let go. It feels like we’re playing with fire...

And this time I’m the one who’s gonna burn.

4 (Muito bom)

Até que é bom...

Gostei bastante do livro. Afinal, é da May, né? A mulher sabe como envolver a gente no dedo mindinho enquanto lê. É fácil e envovlente. Só que eu esperava mais do romance entre Jamie e Parker. Na verdade, quando se faz uma série tão longa assim, você percebe que os autores tendem a se repetir um pouco. As personalidades se misturam. E o adulto Parker que conheci no livro do Con se tornou um bobo adolescente no livro em que é protagonista. Parecia uma versão menos legal do Con no livro anterior. Talvez porque a May carregue com ela um pouco de cada um e acabe vazando quando escreve?
Não sei. Pra mim, o livro 3 ainda é o melhor de todos. Mas Jamie e Parker tem um lugarzinho no meu coração também.
