Too Hard to Forget

Autor Tessa Bailey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 oct 2022

Ne imaginăm prima scenă: Peggy Clarkson pășind hotărâtă pe terenul de antrenament, locul unde Elliott Brooks și-a construit un regat al disciplinei și al controlului. După trei ani de absență, ea nu se întoarce ca o fostă iubită nostalgică, ci ca o femeie care vrea să recupereze puterea pierdută. Reținem imediat contrastul dintre lumea ordonată a fotbalului american și haosul emoțional pe care prezența lui Peggy îl declanșează. Subliniem că, spre deosebire de volumele anterioare, aici miza este una de reparație morală și emoțională. Stilul are ceva din proza lui Alyssa Rose Ivy din The Clayton Falls Series, fără să fie o imitație — Tessa Bailey păstrează acea atmosferă de oraș universitar american, dar injectează un limbaj mult mai senzual și o tensiune sexuală mai densă. Dacă în Too Wild to Tame am explorat dinamica opusurilor care se atrag, în Too Hard to Forget suntem martorii unei confruntări între doi oameni care se cunosc prea bine. Observăm cum autoarea continuă tema familiei Clarkson, dar mută accentul de pe descoperirea celuilalt pe procesul de iertare de sine. Ritmul este susținut de dialogurile ascuțite, specifice stilului care a consacrat-o pe Tessa Bailey, transformând o simplă poveste de dragoste într-un joc de strategie unde miza este vulnerabilitatea absolută.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

This time, she's calling the shots.

Peggy Clarkson is returning to her alma mater with one goal in mind: confront Elliott Brooks, the man who ruined her for all others, and remind him of what he's been missing. Even after three years, seeing him again is like a punch in the gut, but Peggy's determined to stick to her plan. Maybe then, once she has the upper hand, she'll finally be able to move on.

In the years since Peggy left Cincinnati, Elliott has kept his focus on football. No distractions and no complications. But when Peggy walks back onto his practice field and into his life, he knows she could unravel everything in his carefully controlled world. Because the girl who was hard to forget is now a woman impossible to resist.

Notă biografică

Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans, and laptop, and drove cross-country to New York City in under four days. Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend, and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband and daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.
