OpiniónPersonal (no spoilers):
Confiesoque I have only praise for this novel. Not many books consiguenatraparme to feel anxiety about not being able to continue historiacon faster, and not knowing how it will end everything. Few such librosque you get into the skin, make you live each moment by The actors, feel and suffer with them. And those who realmentequedan recorded in your memory and remember with particular affection. Queterminas a book with a satisfied smile on his lips, a sigh of relief ytristeza for closing the last page. Seriously, if you like novelasrománticas, you must read! It will be worth, I assure you.
Lanovela begins with a prologue in which we describe the experience of Emmadurante where the wreck occurred the death of his parents and where casipierde life. From here, the book is divided into two parts . Laprimera set in India , where we walk the streets with a personajesmás young, full of life and hope.

The segundaparte we moved to London , where we meet with dosprotagonistas to that time and the painful memories of past hanmarcado and changed completely.
Quote book:
- Really? "He seemed surprised. I did not know that England will raise brats like you.
- brats like me? "Emma frowned. He had come to rest against the trunk of a tree and indulgent smile, as if suddenly, Emma thought she was a three year old had just taught him a trick with his wrist. Are you trying to insult me?
"What I'm saying is that you seem to have some blood in his veins.
you trying to insult me, "she decided. To me and to England.
"Well. "He sighed and shrugged his shoulders, the jacket will fit enough to show the movement of the muscles of the arm sleeve. Emma wondered what he had done to achieve these objectives was not fashionable at all. Now he has found the first part of my reputation. It is considered that I have a terrible manners.
"But I knew that as I saw it! A gentleman does not drink alcohol in front of a lady.
He raised his eyebrows.
"And a lady would never say that the wine of your host is ... how was it? Pig swill, I believe.
The story is very addictive from the first to the last page, and a sublime unaambientación elaborate plot which will not spare nor faltanada, keeping in tension and with a knot in the stomach along its pages. The first partnerships will only find a beautiful love story, but a hard war, all wars ycomo will splash scenes rather crude, which nosencogerá the heart of anguish and anger.
The story Meredith Duran is a marvel, full of dialogues yreflexiones are framing. Not only the story is amazing, but queestá written so that the living with a sweet melody in the background, so envolventey exquisite that grabs you, hipnotizándote. The book is written in third person from the point of view of Emma and Julian (though more from Emma), which is the most successful, and thanks to it we will know much more to both characters.
from us about the characters , I could spend hours and hours talking deellos and yet never be able to capture the essence of each. The secundariosson enough and are well defined, but it is clear that the novel The actors are absolute: Emma and Julian .
Emma, \u200b\u200b the beginning of the novel, is a young full of life and personality out for surebeldía overflowing. A woman wakes up, determined, temperamental andcurious, which refuses to be intimidated by anything or anyone . tambiénes But a girl because the world in which he lives, where primanlas appearances over personal desires, it is unknown itself. Emma loves the bright colors and feel completely fed up with "perfect" world that surrounds it, appearances, living in shadows. But when he meets Julian todocambia . He disarm, eliminating all the chelates remain hidden beneath layers thick shadows and help you discover the best Desí itself, its essence, its true nature . But Julian interference inits life and heart, rather than leave it exposed, frightened and insecure, the Haram stronger, more confident, more alive . esperandofervientemente As if he had been all my life so that he appeared to wake from suletargo, enter inside and embrace their revelation.
Quote book:
He gasped, and then used to download elpulgar lip, to open his mouth in a hard kiss. Ymás sudden sharp. She liked it. I had always suspected that there were other rules, rules that she could understand better than we had posed. HIP stirred against him, he pulled back and down her body, back to chest. Esoseparó that part of him that he had been lobbying against it. She began missing.
Julian for its part, is a man whose descent and reputation make it a gentleman damahonorable inappropriate for any who wants to keep his reputation intact . But Emma is not a woman you care about such minutiae . She sees beyond the cold man yseductor that appears one night to make fun of his behavior, and quedaprendada of his intense gaze of those green eyes that are stuck inside Afuega, and the warmth that emerges, ready to share Connell. Julian is a fascinating man. not only physically attractive; itplayed his true personality is irresistible, intense, electrifying . Aque Despite initially presented with an impassive mask and sarcasm, thanks to Emma discover how letting go and showing you as it is . He sees in it au na young and shattered the stereotypes set by the English society of the time surprising as never before had another woman . a caring, dedicated, passionate and captivating.
Quote book:
- Déjameque help. - He approached her. And couldnot be fooled by false virtues. Just wanted to touch it.
She closed her eyes as she took her by the waist. What a beautiful thing, her fleshy curves; without dudalos corsets were invented by the monks. Profundasrespiraciones based control, he put his hands on his shoulders and then took laespalda as she lay on the water in front of him.
The water came to lasorejas and cheeks, Emma's eyes moved violently. He followed with Aella, standing, waiting. It would be a better signal if I opened my eyes, but ellaprefirió If not, then who could blame him for not controlling the suyospropios? The drink looked at his image all he could, and laughed at himself as a teenager porcomportarse.
Larelación goes through two stages clearly identified, but both with unafuerza overwhelming, intense, unwavering. At first we witha relationship born of mere curiosity, followed by the delight of encontrarseante person so different and fascinating, and the longing to explore lapersona, inside and go with that beautiful new discovery . Haybastantes full of funny moments between the couple sarcasm. unarelación is sweet, dedicated and passionate, that time, pain and broken laspromesas the gradually becomes bittersweet longing ydesgarrador, full of rage and despair . A Alborde relationship that will take madness, where prime pain, uncertainty, need, and also love.
Quote book:
"Oh, yes. Sure. Now I remember, I've been doing wrong. The first thing I should have said is that you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
She laughed despite himself.
"That's a compliment very clever, because you can retain the right to change his mind about another encounter. And you better do it, with the paint that I have!
He leaned a little towards her.
- Would you like to eliminate that grade? I am perfectly willing to oblige.
"No, enough is enough. My vanity is not in my appearance.
"But you're beautiful," he said. Do not you know? A strange beauty, Emmaline. Your spirit is as beautiful as your face.
That was too much. Emma looked down.
"Now should kiss you again," he said. Is not that the way to go?
Surprised, Emma put her hand to her lips. But in his state, parched and broken, made the idea was ridiculous.
"I suppose ... in a Gothic novel. But if you kiss me now, surely cut my lips, and I would bleed over.
He quickly checked his laughter.
"Well, fine. Since you put it in a way so romantic. Elsewhere, you allow me to be bold?
Quierodestacar each and every one of the scenes between Emma and Julian, for all sonigual specials and contain an emotional charge that makes you sigh. Haymomentos loaded with humor, sarcasm, tenderness, pain ... and others where love, need and passion are so palpable, that force you to re-arctan delight with all the feelings that come to transmitirte. Precious Moments, emotional and wonderful.
Ylo "bad? Like we had mentioned, I have only praise for this novel, so I will not be possible to get a negative ruling VERCON not have to cover. Do not get me wrong, I quite like the cover on todoahora I've read, but certainly not exactly the cover foulbrood stand before me have done it in a bookstore, but rather lasrecomendaciones of those readers with similar tastes to mine.
Another aspect to highlight is about the secondary characters. He has personally would have loved to go deeper in the history of Lockwood, whose relationship with his wife left me totally intrigued, or own cousin Emma. It is normal, considering that the story of Emma and Julian eats every book, but maybe a few chapters have not been too bad (or a second part, *___*) .
Conclusion: A novel fascinating, wonderful, unique. A story that gets atrapartey deslumbrarte, you shrink the heart, making you mourn, sigh ytambién smile. A sincere love and delivered, loaded momentosmaravillosos, bittersweet, passionate, heartbreaking, melancholic yentrañables. A great story for its setting, its plot perfectamenteelaborada, for those characters and that relationship sublime ysobrecogedora so shocking. That is loaded with sarcasm and humor that perfect combination deromance and drama. A must for all lovers of historiasrománticas.
Final Note:
A big kiss to everyone and thanks for reading!
