My Thoughts:

A second chance love story with a shocking objection.

This is my very first time reading 1001 Dark Nights and also a romance by Carly Phillips. I wasn't disappointed at all since the author is great a delivering a great romance. The truth is that this book did not disappoint me at all because the writer makes you want to explore every detail of this story from the first page.

Take the Bride is a story that makes us turn pages quickie because we want to know how it is going to end. This is a story about finding an early age True love, losing it and claiming that love back again. Sierra knew what she wanted and had great dreams of studying away from her home and leaving her brothers behind until she fell in love with Ryder.

This romance consumed them both quickly but it also ended as fast as it started. Ryder made some decisions that broke the heart of his beloved. But he did it thinking about his love. Despite all the time, they were apart and they still have feelings and one day decided it was time to return to claim what belonged to him.

Maybe the way he did it, was not the best since we were all surprised to read what happened. Sierra at that time was confused but I think she also felt a little liberated since she was going to take the wrong decision. Despite the Great show and the rage she felt against Ryder, she decides to leave with her first love.

Being with Ryder, Sierra realized that never someone else had made her feel like him. Regardless of the time, no one had the power to captivate her the way Ryder did from the beginning but also the fact that he broke his heart left her so damaged that she did not want to feel that way again.

The love of this couple was and is so intense and consumer that none of them can get away just like a bird flying to a flame ready to burn.The pace of the story is very fast and that is good because it takes you to turn page after page and in a blink of the eyes you are done with it.

Each scene is very well written and also erotic but without anything vulgar. Ryder is without a doubt my favorite character since he did not give up and although she told him that in one way or another he knew that he had to give him a chance because he had already damaged her. This story really is a combination of love, intimacy, honesty, and heart. Each line of the author led you to have a deeper connection with each of the characters and understand the complexity of each of them and their situations. I'm sure you will not be able to put down this book. The ending and epilogue are totally perfect. I really love reading epilogue that gives us a look at the future that had this couple. Overall, it's a story that teaches us that sometimes giving a second chance is the best thing that can happen to us in life.

Mis pensamientos:

Una historia de segundas oportunidad en el amor con una objeción impactante.

Esta es la primera vez que leo 1001 Dark Nights y también un romance de Carly Phillips. No me decepcionó en absoluto desde el autor es genial al darnos una buena hostoria de amor real. La verdad es que este libro no me decepcionó en absoluto porque el escritor hace que quieras explorar cada detalle de esta historia desde la primera página.

Take the Bride es una historia que nos hace pasar las páginas rápidamente porque queremos saber cómo va a terminar. Esta es una historia sobre cómo encontrar un amor verdadero en una edad temprana, perderlo y reclamar ese amor nuevamente. Sierra sabía lo que quería y tenía grandes sueños de estudiar lejos de su casa y dejar a sus hermanos atrás hasta que se enamorara de Ryder.

Este romance los consumió a ambos rápidamente, pero también terminó tan rápido como comenzó. Ryder tomó algunas decisiones que rompieron el corazón de su amada. Pero lo hizo pensando en su amor. A pesar de todo el tiempo que estuvieron separados y todavía tienen sentimientos uno por el otro y un día decidieron que era hora de volver para reclamar lo que le pertenecía.

Tal vez la forma en que lo hizo no fue la mejor, ya que todos nos sorprendimos al leer lo que sucedió pero fue la correcta. Sierra en ese momento estaba confundida, pero creo que también se sintió un poco liberada ya que iba a tomar la decisión equivocada. A pesar del gran espectáculo y la rabia que sentía contra Ryder, decide irse con su primer amor.

Estando con Ryder, Sierra se dio cuenta de que nunca alguien más la había hecho sentir como él. Independientemente del momento, nadie tuvo el poder de cautivarla como lo hizo Ryder desde el principio, pero también el hecho de que le rompiera el corazón la dejó tan dañada que no quería volver a sentirse así.

El amor de esta pareja fue y es tan intenso y consumidor que ninguno de ellos puede escapar como un pájaro volando hacia una llama lista para arder. El ritmo de la historia es muy rápido y eso es bueno porque te lleva a pasar página tras página y en un abrir y cerrar de ojos ya has terminado.

Cada escena está muy bien escrita y también es erótica pero sin nada vulgar. Ryder es sin duda mi personaje favorito, ya que no se dio por vencido y aunque ella le dijo que de una u otra manera que no, el sabía que tenía que darle una oportunidad porque ya la había dañado. Esta historia realmente es una combinación de amor, intimidad, honestidad y corazón. Cada línea el autor te lleva a tener una conexión más profunda con cada uno de los personajes y entender la complejidad de cada uno de ellos y sus situaciones. Estoy seguro de que no podrás dejar este libro. El final y el epílogo son totalmente perfectos. Realmente me encanta leer el epílogo que nos da una mirada al futuro que tuvo esta pareja.

En general, es una historia que nos enseña que a veces dar una segunda oportunidad es lo mejor que nos puede pasar en la vida.
