Priceless

Hanna Rybchynska

Eu só li este livro porque achei que devia acabar os últimos dois livros da série que comecei. Foi difícil não ver tanto a presença das outras personagens que preencheram os outros 7 livros, mas acho que foi interessante ver novamente a Reese e o Mason (Livro 1)! Foi muito triste para mim ver o Noel com a Aspen (Livro 2)... Mas têm que ler para perceber!

Esta história é sobre o irmão mais novo do Noel (Livro 2)- Brandt, que está completamente apaixonado pela irmã do Mason - Sarah (Livro 1), ela é perfeita para ele mas ele tem medo que seja demasiado "sujo" do seu passado, para alguém tão pura e perfeita. É de relembrar que a Sarah tem uma paralisia cerebral então tem dificuldade em falar e as vezes tem espasmos esquisitos, além disso pode ter ataques que podem ser comparados a epilepsia. 

Sem dúvida que é um olhar diferente do livro, a persongem principal está longe de ser a persongem principal típica e perfeita. Contudo a escritora queria passar a mensagem de que não temos que ser perfeitas para ter aquilo que desejamos, sendo que as vezes basta sermos perfeitas para uma pessoa apenas!
 
Sobre a história propriamente dita, achei um pouco parva a desculpa do Brandt para não avançar com a Sarah... NO ENTANTO, continuo a achar que este livro poderia ter sido menos dramático e mais...inocente, tipo ele a ensina-la umas coisas enquanto ela "curava-o" do trauma!


Bem achei o livro demasiado dramático, daí não ter dado as mais pontos.

Three things in my life were fact. I needed Sarah to survive. I needed sex to remain sane. And I could never mix sex with Sarah. I just knew—deep in my marrow—that if I did, I’d somehow lose her. All my deepest darkest secrets would crack open, bleed out, and ruin everything between us. I wouldn’t unleash the shit inside me on my worst enemy, let alone her. So she stayed strictly in the friend zone. People probably thought I never went there with her because of her cerebral palsy, but f*ck them. She knew she was the most important person in my world, and I wasn’t about to risk hurting our relationship just to make my c*ck happy. Until the moment she begged me to take her virginity. Now it’s all about to hit the fan, because how the hell do you resist the one person forbidden to you when she says please? --Brandt Gamble

Priceless is the 8th installment in the "Forbidden Men" series. Linda Kage is one of those authors that write some of the best New Adult romances. When I read Priceless this was also an pick from my TBR for the Romanceopoly Reading Challenge. I will be honest in that I absolutely adored this book and is one of my favorites of the series so far.

Priceless was such a unique take on a romance. I really loved seeing that the heroine was dealing with Cerebal Palsy and was mostly in a wheelchair. Then we have our hero, who also suffered in his own way as he was dealing with some PTSD and being sexually assaulted as a young teenager. But then Brandt and Sarah meet through the most unlikely means and they become the best of friends. I loved the way that we see their friendship grown in their early years, it was so endearing. But then we skip to when they are adults, both in college, and then a mix of unrequited love and a pining heroine happens here. I really enjoyed the way that the heroine goes after what she wants. But she does have a battle ahead of her in convincing Brandt to take a chance on them being more than just friends.

Brandt is suffering from affects of the assault that he suffered as a child, so he tends to push his girl away at times, because he doesn't want sex to ruin what they have. So you can see why he has his reservations, but also, he looks at sex in a certain way and feels like it would spoil his feelings for Sarah, much of his reservations is seeing him deal with him being abused as a child. My heart just felt for Brandt though, even when he was pushing Sarah away. But when the truth is revealed about what he suffered, I just really loved the way that their family and friends just really come together for Brandt. It just had my heart.

The romance that builds between Brandt and Sarah was so heartwarming in so many ways. Even though they have some hurdles to overcome with. I was so charmed with the way that they support each other, and just click on so many levels. It was so interesting see the heroine being the one pining for the hero and the way that she goes after wanting more in their relationship. I was so endeared by her character and seeing the way she is battling to have what she wants with Brandt even if they hurt each other a bit along the way.

Overall I found Priceless to be a true treasure of a read! Its a story to delivers on friendship, trust and healing!

Finishing the series for old times sake and I have to admit I enjoyed it.
This being the eighth book in the series I could detect the pattern of events. This made it somewhat predictable, but the story was fun to read.
