Samantha Young: Before Jamaica Lane Samantha Young: Before Jamaica Lane

One ​simple lesson in seduction between two friends can turn into so much more…

Despite her outgoing demeanor, Olivia is painfully insecure around the opposite sex – usually, she can’t get up the nerve to approach guys she’s interested in. But moving to Edinburgh has given her a new start, and, after she develops a crush on a sexy postgrad, she decides it’s time to push past her fears and go after what she wants.

Nate Sawyer is a gorgeous player who never commits, but to his close friends, he’s as loyal as they come. So when Olivia turns to him with her relationship woes, he offers to instruct her in the art of flirting and to help her become more sexually confident.

The friendly education in seduction soon grows into an intense and hot romance. But then Nate’s past and commitment issues rear their ugly heads, and Olivia is left broken-hearted. When Nate realizes he’s made the biggest mistake of his life, he will have to work harder than he ever has before… (tovább)

Samantha Young: Before Jamaica Lane

A kedvenc részem volt a sorozatból egyértelműen. Nate és Liv párosa számomra tökéletes volt, édesek, viccesek és nem csak a kémia volt meg köztük, hanem szellemileg is társai voltak egymásnak. Bár amúgy is imádom a friends to lovers sztorikat :3
Alig várom, hogy magyarul is olvashassam!

Samantha Young: Before Jamaica Lane

Újabb remekmű a Samantha Young-féle univerzumból. Imádtam hallgatnil, megismerni Nate és Liv múltját és történetét, abszolút nem tudok semmi negatívumot felhozni a könyvből, és garantáltan el fogom olvasni magyaru is, amint sikerül beszereznem az egész sorozatot. :)

Samantha Young: Before Jamaica Lane

Nem volt egy rossz könyv, egyértelműen alakul az írónő precizitása.
Mégis, ki kell emelnem egy nagyon zavaró tényezőt: az idővonal. Az első kötet epilógusa alapján Joss és Braden 3 éve vannak együtt, mikor megházasodnak. Azonban ha kiszámoljuk az eddigi kötetekben eltelt időt, maximum másfél évnél járunk, de inkább kevesebb. Ráadásul Cam és Jo is el vannak jegyezve, mindössze maximum fél év együttlét után. Ennek a könyvnek meg szintén látjuk az epilógusát. Nem tudom, hogy az ennyire elsietett lépések miért számítanak sokak szerint romantikusnak.
Olivia sok esetben idegesítő volt, máskor pedig nagyon szerethető. Nate azonban picit egysíkúra sikerült számomra. A kapcsolatuk alakulása aranyos volt, de unalmas is egyben. Őszintén, szerintem a könyv az utolsó 60 oldalra lett kihegyezve.
Nem volt rossz, de nem olvasnám újra őszintén szólva. Bízom benne, hogy a következő kötet izgalmasabb lesz.

‘You’re not ready to hear this yet,’ he concluded. ‘But I do need you to know that I’m going to fight for you. I’m not making the mistake of walking away from you again. The only man in your future is me, Liv. The only kids in your future are mine.’ Nate opened my front door, dug into his pocket and produced my key. He held it out to me and I took it tentatively, confused by the action. ‘I don’t need to break into your life. You’ve put up a locked door between us and I understand why. But I’m going to stand outside it, bugging the absolute shit out of you.’ He smiled wryly. ‘Until you let me back in.’ His expression changed like a black cloud rolling in unexpectedly. ‘I’ll warn you, though – you let that Ben guy in the door … I’ll start fighting dirty.’

‘Because I’m fairly certain I get that look in my eye anytime my ex tries to contact me.’
‘What look?’
‘That “if-I-could-tear-you-to-shreds-with-my-incisors-I-would-why-won’t-you-get-out-of-my-life-you-crazy-bitch” or in his case “crazy bastard” look.’

‘I’m going to die alone, Nate.’

And as unconsciousness pulled me toward it, I thought I heard him whisper, ‘Not on my watch, babe.’

‘No one,’ I whispered, my lips trembling with the emotion, ‘has ever made me feel like the person I’ve always wanted to be until you. You make me feel beautiful, Nate. All the way through. No one else has ever given me that. No one.’

‘I’m glad,’ he murmured against my mouth. ‘Not just because you deserve to feel that way … but because it makes you mine.’

As I reminisced, Nate turned around from speaking to Adam and Ellie to direct his beautiful smile my way.
I blinked, distracted by the flush of attraction I felt. I’d gotten so good at ignoring the feeling, it had caught me off guard. That was the problem when you were friends with a guy who totally got you and just happened to be the hottest man you’d ever met in real life. That flutter, that rush of unexpected feeling, sent me reeling back to the first time Nate and I had met.
Honestly, I deserved a medal for ignoring my attraction to him …

Amren>!

Once he had his drink, he smiled at me again and I realized that the reason I wasn’t so tongue-tied around him wasn’t just because of his nerdy shirt. It was his eyes. They were impossibly kind, and I just felt … not quite comfortable … but, yeah, not uncomfortable either. That was definitely unusual for me around guys I’d just met. Especially ones I was attracted to.

Amren>!

I smiled. ‘Sorry, I think the cold has numbed my brain.’
‘Well, come here, you’ – he looped my arm through his, pulling me close – ‘before a finger drops off.’
I relaxed gratefully into his strong side. ‘Couldn’t you have done that earlier? Like, three streets ago?’
‘And miss the horrified look on your face every time we turn a corner?’ he teased, rubbing his hand up and down my arm.

Amren>!

‘W-w-we’re Sc-c-ottish,’ Ellie chittered, her fingers curling into Adam’s coat. ‘We c-c-can ha-aandle it.’
I squeezed Nate’s arm as we started to walk forward again. ‘Well, I’m American,’ I reminded them. ‘And I’m from Arizona.’
‘I’m American and I’m okay,’ Joss said, sounding a lot more relaxed than she looked. Her weight wobbled as her stiletto hit a crevice in the cobbled street. Braden righted her as she cursed at the ground.
‘That would be because of the six-foot-three shield you’re huddled against,’ I replied dryly.

Amren>!

Here I was, surrounded by people who had been through hell and come out the other side to find the person they wanted to spend the rest of their life with.

Amren>!

Joss laughed and looked up into Braden’s face. ‘Apparently the dress is good.’
‘I’m getting that,’ he murmured. ‘Still, I’m more looking forward to taking it off you than anything else that day.’
‘Braden,’ Ellie bemoaned, ‘not in front of me.’
‘Stop kissing Adam in front of me and I’ll stop making sexual comments to my wife in front of you.’
‘She’s not your wife yet,’ Nate reminded him. ‘No need to rush it.’
I snorted. ‘Nate, your commitment phobia is showing again.’
