Synopsie

Karina knows the harsh realities of military life. And like anyone who has grown up around an army base, she knows the background noise that follows a soldier home from war. That’s why she’s forging her own quiet life in her own little house. But she hasn’t turned her back on her family. She’s the glue that holds them together—when her father is deployed, when her brother, Austin, has another brush with the law.

Karina knows that she has to look after herself, that she can’t always fix what’s broken. But when Austin’s behavior worsens and her father’s reactions grow more extreme, Karina feels her own edges beginning to fray. That’s when she meets him—a closed book she’s desperate to open.

At just twenty, Kael is a handsome, brooding soldier struggling with the aftermath of two tours in Afghanistan. He’s emotionally damaged and closed off. Quiet doesn’t begin to describe him. But as Karina gets used to his stable presence, she finds it hard to ignore the way he makes her feel. In their time together, she finds the stillness she has always wanted and never found. She lets down her guard. And she lets herself fill in the blanks about this mysterious man.

But illusions quickly made are quickly shattered. That’s when Karina has to find her own courage—to untangle the truth from the lies, and decide what she’s going to do about it.

Kael Martins 

Anna Todd m'a une fois de plus émue avec cette nouvelle aventure bouleversante et merveilleuse. L'histoire de Karina et Kael nous envoie clairement du lourd avec ce premier tome. Karina est la fille d'un sergent militaire, connu dans son milieu. Masseuse sur le camp, elle tente de garder sa famille hors de l'eau. Jusqu'au jour où elle rencontre le combattant Kael Martins, un homme autant silencieux que mystérieux. Attirée vers lui, la jeune femme n'a aucune idée dans quoi elle s'embarque. Pour plusieurs personnes, les défauts de ce roman sont un désavantage alors que pour moi, ces défauts sont des points forts. Cette romance est magnifique, touchante et bien réelle, puisqu'elle s'inspire librement de son vécu. Et quoique Karina soit parfois égoïste, ce point négatif rend bien, car ce personnage à une carapace qu'elle n'ose pas dévoilé. Je suis ressorti de ce livre émotive, beaucoup plus que d'habitude parce que c'est la véritable version. Et cette fin ! OH MON DIEU ! Comment attendre jusqu'en 2019 ?!
En conclusion, un écrit qui en déçoit plusieurs, mais qui pour moi, fût magique et spécial.

Un premier tome d'une trilogie autofictionnelle merveilleuse est pur.

Coup de foudre !

Extraits :

"I don't think it works like that. I think you're safe."
My words were weak when said, but if he could feel what I felt for him in that moment, he would know it couldn't be further from the truth.
"Safe ?" he asked, as the clouds drifted over us. "From who ?"


"Karina"... God, I loved the way he said my name.
"Oh, it's -" I was going to say, it's okay. That's what  I always said when I told this story. Not that I told it often. But the thing was, sitting in the dark with Kael beside me, urging me on, listening, not judging... Well, I knew that it wasn't okay. It wasn't okay at all. I could have been killed. 

Austin could have ben killed. It was so not okay. But what was not okay was usually my reality.
