Acquire Another Dawn Picturized By Sandra Brown Contained In Version

pareja que forman Jake y Banner es fabulosa, de las que a mi me gustan, de esas que se pelean pero se desean ardientemente a partes iguales.

Esta novela se llevaría lasde no ser por algo que tiene que ver con el final y que para mi ha sido absolutamente innecesario, Tanto que yo haré como si eso no hubiera pasado principalmente porque no aporta nada a la trama ni ha servido para resolver el conflicto,
De todas formas el libro me ha gustado mucho, ovbiando esa parte que digo y que a mi me puso muy triste,
No se porqué la autora no siguió escribiendo sobre esta familia, Me hubiera gustado muchísimo saber más sobre Lee y Micah, personajes secundarios en esta novela pero que prometen bastante, RetoRitaRitaBrown

Después de leer este libro me reafirmo en que me encanta el estilo de Sandra Brown, Este libro me ha gustado algo menos que el primero de la serie, pero el buen sabor de boca que me ha dejado se debe a su final, bastante agridulce y emotivo.
Parece que el estilo de la autora es resolver las historias en unas pocas páginas finales para dejarnos casi sin aliento, y en este libro sin duda es así.
El conflicto amoroso surge al principio, sí, pero si en el primer libro el papel de los antagonistas se empieza a cocer pronto, en este se plantea casi hacia el final, donde todo se resuelve muy rápido.
De los dos personajes principales, sin duda me quedo con Jake, puesto que Banner en más de una ocasión me provocado las ganas de darle un par de guantadas.

Por último decir que es necesario leer antes Un largo atardecer, puesto que en este libro se mencionan muchos personajes y situaciones del primero de la serie, y es importante tener cierto conocimiento de la historia previa de los personajes.

Spoiler Alert
While I loved the story of this book, I was however completely upset with she killed off the hero and main charactor of 'Sunset Embrace.
' I have not read a Sandra Brown book since reading this one, This review was brought to you by Fictional Equivalent of a Car Crash and I Can't Look Away!

Okay, big time yuck and DNF.
As bad as some of the reviewers say but for all new reasons,

Epic, epics style slutshaming and hypocrisy, I doubt if the Victorians and oletime cowboys and schoolmarms were as bad as Sandra Brown's characters,

I never even got to Nakseds concerns over the hero and the heroines mother, I had other issues to worry about,

sitelink goodreads. com/review/show


When the now pregnant town hussy is dragged to the church by her father half the men slink down in their pews as the baby could have been anyones.


Shame on SB for making the hussy and her father totally gross and unsympathetic, Really gross.

The number of boys who just want a roll in the hay, literally a roll in the hay cause, hey its TEXAS, with anyone they can get their paws on.


The hero drags the heroines vain and vapid competition behind the barn to have his way with her, Yeah, shes shallow, but she didnt deserve to be treated like that, I was really hoping theyd get caught and there would be ANOTHER shotgun wedding, but then he wouldnt get the heroine,

The kicker was the exfiancee who may or may not have gotten the hussy pregnant, but is definitely the fall guy for the town, SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

Turns out he was marrying the heroine for her land and is plotting to be an evil lumber baron and will strip the land, He hates his now pregnant wife, and in a disgusting, cruel and nauseating scene murders her as she is giving birth to what may or may not be his child.
He doesnt even stop to see what sex the baby is before setting fire to the hovel,

And Im outta here, noooooooooo

Bookin the series and the hero of bookis killed off!

What in the WORLD just happened

My rose coloured are blown to smithereens.


I LOVE this author's work and this AUDIObook is testament to her prolificacy, BUT this book is a strict nono for my dear soft romantic heart because this IS categorized in Amazon as Romance gt Historical and Romance gt Contemporary.
That's what I was expecting, That and an update on the MCs of the first book,

And it WAS wonderful to see the beautiful love and passion between Ross and Lydia Hxh of bookstill going strong utterly captivating, It warmed my heart and fed my need for affirmation that all the horrors they'd endured before settling into a solid relationship was worth it, And that it lasted for decades,

Then he dies,

At the end of the book,

JUST like that,

Of course, I had to finish it against my better judgement, . . because, OCD and a desperate hope that someone was dreaming that scene and he didn't REALLY die, Much like that scene in the's soapie Dallas, where Bobby Ewing is alive after being dead for a year, because his wife had only dreamed that he'd died.
For once I didn't scoff at that awful soapie trope: I'm like: plse be alive, pls be dreaming, pls be like a soapie, pls rise from the dead.
. . ANYTHING but not dead and gone and no longer loving lydia, . .

And that's only the SECONDARY romance in this book,

The main Hxh
, . . sigh
I should've stopped waaayyyy before the end, but didn't because:
A I love the way she writes
B I loved the narration
C I loved to hear how gorgeous a man this hero is.
. . Ad nauseam yes, I contradict myself but it's Jake Langston you'd only know if you read it, . . there's not a single unknotted knicker in all of Fort Worth and beyond,
D I wanted to know just WHERE these two were going, because they're pretty much doomed from day one:
The OW is her mother
He adores the ow
He has loved the OW from before the h was even born
He STILL loves the OW
The Hxh fight like idiots most unpleasant no thrill to watch
The attraction is intense but that's all they have on their side
They're not soulmates at ALL: its about duty amp the time is right for him to settle down now
The h is a brat
The H is cruel
too many other cliches which I somehow couldn't tear myself away from.
. .

So now I make up scenarios in my head about ard book,
and no matter how each one starts, none end well, because in my Romantica the MCs only have ONE soulmate and Lydia's has her chance, Jake's had his and the h is too obsessed with the H who doesn't love her the way she should be.












,because I LOVED THE PROTECTIVE JEALOUS ALPHA HERO but it was so slow at times, . . Rate:stars

Betrayal had ruined Banner Coleman's wedding day and on her wedding night she was a jilted bride, Now old seeds of greed and desire are harvesting a scandal and Banner's affair with an old family friend could shatter a friendship and a family,

The Texas countryside was wide and wild, the barn was warm and musty, and the passion between Banner Coleman and her parents' best friend, Jake Langston, was going to be the start of trouble.
Betrayal had ruined Banner's wedding day, and now on her wedding night she was a jilted bride, Jake was the toughest cowhand in Texas, yet Banner had broken down his resistance, setting loose emotions neither of them expected, Now Jake and Banner were caught up in a scandal that could tear apart a friendship

and a family, But theirs wasn't the only sin in this rough town outside of lusty Fort Worth, Greed and desire stretched back to a wagon train journey twenty years before, and this cattle land would explode once more with a man's hunger and a woman's enduring love.


I don't even know if I enjoyed this book, I don't know how to put this but this book had me feelin' hot then cold, cold then hot, and hot and cold, No doubt it had me completely captivated the entire time, but I couldn't come to terms with the tragic ending, When I say it's tragic, I don't mean unhappy because the book does have a traditional 'happily ever after' but with Ross's death it just feels like the perfect picture is incomplete.
I found it difficult to understand why Sandra Brown would feel the need to write such a tragic death for him when he and Lydia worked so hard for their happiness.
If I had read Sunset Embrace before this one I wouldn't be sitting here writing a review for a onestar book, No, I would be writing a review for a one of twostar book, The only thing that made it all bearable for me was because I hadn't read Ross's story, I know Lydia and him had twenty years of happiness, but it's never enough is it

I loved the Texan flavour to this book, I'm not a particular fan of Western Romance but this book does it so well, It's hard to explain it exactly but the setting truly enhances the story, As for the characters, I adored Banner and Jake, I know it was initially hard for me to accept that Jake was twice Banner's age and in love with her mother, but gradually age lost its importance and I came to enjoy their romance without feeling any discomfort.
Banner and Jake's romance is one of those intensely and passionately stormy ones, It was a constant cycle of love, hurt, passion, yearning and more hurt, It was hard not to find myself drawn into the web of emotions and there were so many more facets to this story than just Banner and Jake's relationship.
I think Sandra Brown reached much deeper than the stereotypical historical romance with this one, And this is the first time I've ever givento a heartbreaker,

He nodded. "Well, good night," Please, Banner, don't look at me like that, I want to hold you, but I can't,
"Good night. " Jake, why are you punishing me for a sin that belonged to both of us Don't hate me for it,
"Lock up good now, hear" I remember how sweet you were, Banner, and I want you again, But I can't, I can't, . .
"I will. Good night. " You were so sweet to me that night, so tender and caring, Why are you being so mean to me now
"You're huge," she whispered,
"Who are you comparing me to" he asked,

What I Learned From This Book:
Sex is totally, totally great
The Wild Wild West tweren't no place for a woman
Appendicitis Not a problem
amp
Never trust a cranky prostitute

Valuable lessons, to be sure.
Me gusta mucho como escribe Sandra Brown, es muy buena,

En este caso nos encontramos con una historia de vaqueros, principalmente romántica, y con un toque de acción en algún momento, pero no es lo más destacable.

Me han gustado mucho los protas, lostienen su punto de caracter pero no son odiables ni para darles de tortas, se dejan querer bastante bien,
Por lo demás, recomendable

PD, No me ha gustado nada lo de Ross prota del primer libro de la serie, no me lo esperaba, . . ha sido toda una sorpresa, Sebenarnya saya sengaja menundanunda membaca novel ini di GD krn menunggu buku pertamanya diterjemahkan, Tetapi tak kunjung tiba hingga setahun lebih ini, Kebetulan sudah agak lama gak baca HR, dan author adalah salah satu favorit saya utk genre suspense romance, jadi saya agak kecewa dgn novel ini,

Heroinenya, Banner Coleman is very very annoying me dari awal hingga akhir novel, Entah kenapa Ross dan Lidya Coleman menamakan anaknya ini dgn nama antimainstream gini utk pria aja gak umum apalagi utk anak gadis, sangat aneh, Banner spanduk. Banner ini gadis impulsif yg gak sabaran utk menikah, Perlu digarisbawahi disini, Banner bukan mencintai calon suaminya, Grady Sheldon, tapi dia sudah gak sabar utk mencobai apa yg bisa didapatkan dari menikah dlm buku ini tentu saja, seks spt orangtuanya.
Jadi saat pernikahannya dikacaukan bhw mempelainya menghamili gadis jalang, Banner langsung depresi dan mencari pelampiasan utk berhubungan seks, Kebetulan mangsa terdekat adalah Jake Langston, teman baik ayahnya, yg usianya dua kali lipat dari usia Banner,

Jake dulu pernah mencintai Lidya yg skrg istri Ross dan ini jadi duri dalam daging di pikiran Banner, Saya tahu gadis remajathn masih labil dan suka berubahubah, tapi bukan berarti boleh dong bersikap murahan kpd pria yg konon katanya dicintainya saya shock waktu Banner menawarkan dirinya pd Jake dgn merendahkan dirinya, menyuruh Jake menganggap Banner sbg ibunya Lidya.
OMFG. Saya masih gagal paham sebenarnya apa Banner mengerti ttg mencintai seseorang, sebab yg saya tafsirkan gadis ini manjanya gak ketulungan, sudah jelasjelas egois dan gila perhatian, Saya juga gak mudeng dgn sikap Ross dan Lidya yg menuruti keinginan Banner utk SOK hidup mandiri padahal prinsipnya sama sekali gak punya survival life guides utk bagaimana hidup sendirian.
Ujungujungnya mereka "mengumpankan" anak gadis mereka kpd Jake, yg dgn lugunya minta Jake melindungi Banner, dan yg terjadi malah lebih mirip "pagar makan tanaman" bagi saya,

Jake digadanggadang dari awal sbg Dewa Seks diantara para pelacur yg pernah menjajalnya, Jake itu secara fisik jantan tapi jiwanya lemah, Saya juga gak suka dgn sikap Jake yg sengaja mencium Dora Lee, saingan Banner, sangat kekanakan dan gak sesuai dgn umurnya yg sudah mau mencapai kepala, Jake berusaha menghindar dari Banner yg agresif sekaligus hatinya gak bisa lari dari tanggungjawab utk melindungi anak manja RossLidya ini, Saya sampai bosen membaca bagaimana Banner sedikitsedikit jatuh dlm "kecelakaan/bencana" yg terusterusan harus dibantu oleh Jake krn Banner itu kebanyakan GAYA SOK drpd nalar,

Intinya sih, hubungan mereka bisa berhasil krn Jake yg jauh lebih matang itu bertanggungjawab sekali, Beruntung banget Banner bisa mendapatkan Jake, dan sebaliknya betapa sialnya Jake mendapatkan Banner kecuali kekayaan dari ortunya sih hahaha, . . Grady Sheldon aja menyesali gak jadi nikah dgn Banner krn kehilangan mahar gede ini, Dan saya juga kesal krn novel ini terlalu panjang utk menceritakan romansa yg mentah model gini, .
