> "I was thinking maybe we could try…without the phials," he murmured. Hermione’s breathing was shallow. Was he serious? Did he not want the addictive, floaty feeling of the potion anymore?
"But…I thought…don't you want to forget?"
"I don't think I need to anymore"


> "I can imagine myself living a happy life without children. I cannot imagine a happy life without you."

A ideia é legal mas muito mal feita

Definitely enjoyable and I loved the concept of amortentia and how the coupling unfolds. A good dramione always gets me out of a reading slump.

Didn't read the epilogue, but the story itself was cute. Got a bit tired of the smut after awhile but it was super fun.

A história começa com Hermione e Draco bebendo uma poção do amor (funciona mais como uma poção da luxúria) sem saberem e sob o efeito da poção tem relação das quais ambos, essa parte é um tanto cinzenta uma vez que eles não consentiram com isso, mas a autora tenta contornar isso relevando que ambos se sentiam atraídos um pelo outro, por isso a poção foi muito forte (complicado!).

Depois disso eles resolves recriar a poção para tentar achar o culpado, mas na verdade eles queria usar a poção para escapar da realidade/problemas, pois gostaram de como se sentiram durante a relação, nessa parte eles ainda estão sob o efeito da poção mas agora querem usar ela, há o “consentimento”, porém ainda é estranho e errado, a partir disso eles conversam e desenvolvem uma relação, depois de tomar a poção umas 2 vezes com consentimento eles resolvem continuar tento relação mas sem usar a poção, a partir desse ponto eles desenvolvem o relacionamento.

Esse livre tem muita cena hot, praticamente todo capítulo.

A parte do mistério que é quem está criando essa poção do amor e que quer usar na Hermione fica totalmente de lado na narrativa e alguns poucos capítulos temos o desenrolar dela, sendo que lá por 85% da história que vamos ter a revelação de quem é o envenenador, é tudo muito raso, ele faz coisas horríveis com a Hannah Abbott, e com a Hermione, depois o Draco e a Ginna derrotam ele, o Harry conta uma história triste sobre o passado do Justin Finch-Fuckley e ele vai parar em Azkaban, o Finch-Fuckley é um abusador, não interessa qual passado triste dele, deveria ter tido consequências maiores, acho que foi muito raso e corrido toda essa parte da história.

O epílogo é algo bem corrido e mal desenvolvido uma hora a Hermione não quer morar na mansão Malfoy, nem ter filhos, corta para ela aceitando se casar com o Draco e grávida e fim da história, faltou aprofundamento em alguns pontos da história.

This review will contain spoilers:

I don't know if I really liked how the romance started, with both of them driven by the love potion. I thought the beginning was a bit forced, but I enjoyed reading it more as the book went on. I felt their chemistry, I liked them together, but I didn't really like the "villain." These moments bothered me a bit, but in the end, it's a good book, worth reading. The ending is a bit rushed, it didn't really develop their relationship after 6 years, but it was ok.

O spice é mau, mas a história é muito fofa e fez-me sentir nostálgica! Overall foi bom

Interesting concept and strong beginning, but it lost focus as it went on. There were some distracting errors (Cho was a year ahead, so she would not be in their Eighth Year, etc.), incorrect word usages, and plot inconsistencies (How could the Muggleborn antagonist have been taught protection spells by his muggle mom? Unless I totally misunderstood something...). The first sex scenes were delightful, but they became kinky in a way that didn't quite fit. For me, they were also less titillating as they went on (note to the author, "gullet" is not a sexy word).

I enjoyed the candid conversations between Draco and Hermione and his genuine reflection. I think his change of heart and the reasons he became what he was were explained well and felt authentic. Though their relationship progressed a bit too quickly and Hermione's interest in him was less believable. Having them learn more about each other by visiting different rooms from their lives in the Room of Requirement was a nice touch.

I thought the main plot conflict was a bit silly and that it didn't have enough impact throughout the story to feel like it mattered. The resolution was quick and and I did not find it very interesting. It was nice to see Ron portrayed as more mature and capable of growth (So much Ron bashing in so many fics! I think he deserves better).
