A Cereja Dela by Penelope Bloom

Este livro fala-nos da história de fala-nos da história de entre William e Hailey. Desde a sinopse que fiquei rendida e super curiosa para ler o livro.
⠀⠀
Sinopse: William
Como é que a conheci a Hailey? Bem, um cavalheiro não se deve gabar… Felizmente, de cavalheiro não tenho nada. Primeiro, paguei para ter a cereja dela. A seguir, desflorei-a. Depois disso? Deixei-lhe o meu cartão de visita e saí cheio de atitude. Pode dizer-se que houve ali faísca…

Hailey
Como é que conheci o William? Ele entrou na minha confeitaria, comprou uma tarte de cereja, roubou uma jarra de flores (ainda não percebi porquê) e deixou-me o cartão dele.
Antes que vos diga o que fiz ao cartão, quero esclarecer um ponto: O William não podia ter aparecido num momento pior. A confeitaria estava a falhar. O meu horrível ex não me deixava em paz. Ah, e eu era uma virgem de 25 anos, o que fazia de mim alvo do massacre dos meus amigos… Resolver esse probleminha com o William seria como matar uma mosca com um martelo. Um tanto excessivo…mas…tão bom. William era super sexy - a ponto de levar as mulheres a fazerem tolices. A ponto de me provocar pensamentos parvos… Por isso…liguei-lhe.
Talvez tenha sido um erro. Talvez estivesse a abrir a porta a um desastre. Percebi logo que estava em apuros quando ouvi a sua risadinha sensual ao telefone e ele disse: Fazes entregas em casa?
⠀⠀
Este livro foi um livro super leve e divertido de ler no verão. Foi literalmente a cereja no topo do bolo, aliás, da tarte heheh. Um livro super sensual e romântico ao mesmo tempo. A escrita da escritora bandage leve e subtil! Amei. Já conhecia “A Banana Dele” mas nunca o li, este foi o primeiro livro que li da autoria e sem dúvida que quero continuar a ler esta coleção de “Os Objetos de Atração”.
⠀⠀
O livro foi super engraçado, ri imenso sozinha no meio da praia. Sempre uma ousadia as palavras e uma certa inocência do lado de Hailey que amei!
⠀⠀
Super recomendo e agradeço imenso desde já à editora LEYA por me ter cedido o livro!

Seriously funny

I don't normally laugh out loud while reading, but William had me cracking up. I loved Hailey's spunk, her personality is real. Great short and funny read.

Fun, sexy read. Love the repartee between the H and h, especially when their quoting movies.

Not as good as the first one

This was disappointing to me. The hero was an unrepentant asshole & I just couldn’t root for him. There was no tension at all. The hero messes up & it’s solved 10 pages later. I would have liked a little redemption arc for the hero. Nothing. This was just mediocre. And I really liked the first one.

This had a lot of laughs! He walks into her bakery and 'deflowers' her right then and there. If you've read His Banana, you may remember William. He is Bruce's (the Hero in His Banana) twin brother. He co-owns a successful business with his brother, but he acts as if he doesn't have a care in the world. He's a bit of a wild child, but he has a good heart... when he decides to use it. Hailey is a 25 year old virgin who owns a bakery that is on the verge of being shut down. William is persuasive in his attempts to woo Hailey, after stopping in her shop one day. She's resistant, but he eventually wears her down. There's plenty of humor when it comes to his behavior and mouth. She tries to give as good as she gets, but he is like the energizer bunny, and she's often too exhausted to fight back. There are some side characters that bring a little something to the story as well.... both good and bad. Mostly good, but there were a few bad seeds too. (Can't have everything be all rosey, after all.) There was a big break up scene, though the 'grand gesture' wasn't all that grand. (I kinda felt she gave in too easily.) The plot of the story was good and fun with a couple twists, but there were a few small pieces that felt unfinished, or were written off without much explanation. The actual romance aspect was pretty good. There were only a couple of actual sex scenes, but the sexual language was spread throughout the book. Lots of innuendos and what not. While I found a few 'flaws' (in my opinion) with the way things unfolded, the characters kept me entertained and really helped make the book as enjoyable as it was. It reads rather quickly and the story flows nicely. It alternates between POVs. It does follow His Banana, but can be read as a stand alone with no problems. (You will enjoy some of the jokes (mostly at Bruce's expense) a little more if you've read His Banana first.)
