There's Something About a Rebel...

by Anne Oliver

Lissa Sanderson is at an all-time low—so why does her brother's gorgeous, brooding best friend have to come back into her life now? Even worse, the teenage crush she once had on Blake Everett is back with a vengeance, despite his scandalous reputation and the fact the former navy officer would clearly prefer to be left alone.

Only, now she's a woman. And Blake's not quite so immune to her as he makes out. There's definitely something about a rebel—and Lissa's going to enjoy finding out just what that "something" might be!

3.2 🌟 para Tentación Arriesgada de Anne Oliver.

📖 Sorprendentemente, esta novela fue una de las que más me gustó de entre todas aquellas que compré de la editorial Harlequin en la Feria del Libro.

◾Siguiendo el mismo estilo que las anteriores ya reseñadas, nos presenta una historia bastante corta (menos de 200 páginas) y fácil de leer por su narrativa simple. De más está decir que estos no son libros con tramas demasiado pensadas y ejecutadas, sino que estamos frente a historias que utilizan cliché tras cliché para contar algo sencillo y predecible que a veces sale bien y en otras ocasiones muy mal.

➡️ En Tentación Arriesgada me atrevo a decir que esa estrategia funciona porque, a pesar de que es una novela repleta de tópicos ya vistos un millón de veces antes, se desarrollan de manera más coherente y creíble que en otras historias de corte similar que tiene la editorial. La fórmula es la misma de siempre pero con personajes con los que resulta más fácil empatizar:
Fase 1) insta-love
Fase 2) problema
Fase 3) felices por siempre

📖 Si están en busca de una lectura para despachar sin problemas en un día, entonces estos libros son perfectos para la ocasión sino te molestan los romances empalagosos, spicy y de finales felices.

I really don't get what the title's all about, it's certainly not the story... good title though, even if it doesn't fit. It's a good story, with ok characters and dialogue.

i hope this book is just the beginning of HP's starting to use real people--i.e. ex-military types--as heroes/heroines in their books. i'm getting SO tired of the titled, entitled billionaires and this hero is a breath of fresh air. i know reading these books is pure escapism, but....it's good to see some of the books going back to more real heroes, like so many were in the 70's and 80's.

A quick, easy and frivolous read. But the romance is so quick and underdeveloped it would be wrong to call it a "whirlwind romance". The characters are hard to care about as well. But, there are worse books in the world! It's a nice book to read if you've got some downtime.

This is what I needed after the "Good Oil" fiasco. Light, lovely, an easy reading I couldn't put down. I read the whole night 'till I finally got my happy ending. Seriously, if I think about it, I can start sobbing again.


Anne Oliver turned to be one of my favourites.

This book is well written and I enjoyed it. The introvert hero, with a wounded soul but a generous and honorable character, was quite appealing to me. That effect was somehow spoiled at the end of the book with his sudden bout of extroversion.

Just couldn't get into it. Even thought it had some good parts, I just wasn't too hyped about the overall story.

Awww!!

I wasn't a fan of the hero or heroine, and the writing style didn't really convince me in regards to their relationship. This was a DNF for me.
