Prose Before Bros

de Cathy Yardley (2019) - Smartypants Romance

Résumé : Nothing about being a librarian prepared Thuy Nguyen for such a wide variety of casseroles. Or life in a small town. Or becoming a farmer.

But what can she do when her catastrophe-prone best friend begs her for help? After all, Maddy has always been there for Thuy. It’s time to return the favor.

It’s simple really, all she has to do is: learn everything about farming ASAP, save her BBF’s family business from disaster, and avoid being caught staring at Maddy’s biker brother, and his muscles, and his smile, and his soulful, sexy eyes.

Oh yeah, and she should definitely not fall in love with him.

Easy, right? . . . Right.


Je crois que c'est la romance qui m'a le moins plus du lot, je n'ai pas du tout accroché au couple de héros et leur histoire ne m'a fait ni chaud ni froid...

Thuy est une héroïne qui avait du potentiel pourtant, mais son histoire personnelle n'est pas assez abordée ou trop cachée sous plein de sous-entendus. ce qui fait que lorsqu'elle sauve la situation de fin, elle arrive un peu comme la providence et comme par hasard qui elle est résout tout d'un coup -_- j'ai un peu roulé des yeux...

Ensuite Drill/Teddy est pas hyper engageant, certes c'est pas la sexitude incarnée mais le profil skinhead c'est pas forcément ce qui me fait tripper. Et puis pour un gars de 32 ans, homme de main/tabasseur en chef des bikers, il se morfond un peu beaucoup sur son sort. On voit bien qu'il commence à se poser plein de questions sur le sens de la vie et de rester avec les bikers ou pas, mais alors il est quasiment inactif sur comment il pourrait se sortir de là... Je lui donne 5 points car il lit le livre conseillé par Thuy et il kiffe ça, mais sinon faudra m'expliquer en quoi ce perso est un héros (c'est Thuy qui fait tout de tout façon).

voilà petite déception pour ce roman.

I think it's the romance that I have liked the least of the lot, the couple didn't pick my interest and their story has left me indifferent...

Thuy is a heroine who had potential, however, her personal story is not sufficiently talk about, it is hidden under a lot of innuendo. which means that when she saves the situation at the end, she arrives like the Providence and suddenly solves everything by chance -_- I rolled my eyes a little...

Then Drill/Teddy is not hyper attractive, certainly he's not a sexy male but the skinhead profile is not necessarily what makes me found of him. And for a 32-year-old guy, a enforcer of the bikers, he is mopes a lot about his fate. We can see he is starting to question himself about the meaning of life and to stay with the bikers or not, but he is practically inactive about how he could get out of there... I give him 5 points because he reads the book advised by Thuy and he likes it, but otherwise somedoby please explain to me why this person is a hero (it's Thuy who does everything anyway).

this novel is a little disappointment for me.
