When he learns Samantha's husband and daughter were killed by a drunk driver, the shame of his past experience with a DUI and near-death accident is the last thing he wants to mention to her.Samantha has no problem accepting her new boss, flaws and all. His simple life is charming and exactly what she hoped to find for herself and her son in Newhall, New Hampshire. Cole wins her over by befriending her fatherless son and making her laugh again, something she hasn't done in four years. When she learns about his shady past with the bottle, her heart tells her to forgive, but the painful memories of her past are too deep to overlook.Content Notes: Spicy, Contemporary

Cuando no puedes confiar en nadie, hay secretos más poderosos que la mayor de las traiciones. Nuestros lectores opinan:«Una novela juvenil que nos ofrece una historia original, con giros en su trama y un protagonista peculiar, un antihéroe que se enfrenta a una situación límite.»Blog Me gustan los libros «Aquí nos encontramos con una historia dirigida a ese público juvenil que, por primera vez, se acerca a la fantasía. Unanovela bastante buena con frases sencillas y sugerentes que encajan perfectamente con lo que se está contando. Todo transcurre muy deprisa, con capítulos bastante largos en los que no dejan de suceder cosas. Y al final de ellos, se utiliza mucho el recurso del cliffhanger (muy R. Martin).»Blog Los libros de mi vida «Saturados en estos instantes como estamos de novelas futuristas, echaba de menos leer algo con un corte un tanto más clásico. EnEl falso príncipe nos topamos con una novela ambientada en un mundo medieval, bastante sencilla pero aun así muy interesante y recomendable.»Blog A la sombra del cuento

Fame Adjacent
by Sarah SkiltonThe child star that was left behind is about to get her moment to shine in this swoony romantic comedy inspired by a unique, beloved facet of pop culture history: The Mickey Mouse Club.Holly Danner has a complicated relationship with fame. It's not easy being the only cast member of a 1990s song-and-dance show who didn't become famous. When she was eleven, she used to do anything for a laugh (or at least a laugh-track) on "Diego and the Lion's Den." If she talked about it--which she almost never does--Holly might explain how her childhood best friends came to dominate the worlds of pop music, film, and TV while she was relegated to a few near-misses and a nanny gig for her niece. She'd even be telling the truth about making peace with the whole thing years ago. But when she finds out there's a 25th anniversary for the show planned--a televised reunion, clip show, and panel--and she wasn't invited, it's time for an impromptu road trip to crash the event and set the record straight. Three problems: she's currently in Internet Rehab (perhaps she's not quite as well-adjusted as she believes...), she has no cash, and the only person who can get her across the country in time is Thom Parker, a handsome, infuriatingly level-headed patient who doesn't think she should confront her famous ex-friends. FAME ADJACENT is a contemporary, realistic, and humorous look at love, friendship, and fame, as seen through the eyes of a girl who lived it--from the sidelines.
