Bonjour à tous!
J'espère que vous allez bien. Pour ma part, ça va plutot bien et je dois avouer que je suis aujourd'hui en mode lecture. Je vous retrouve avec la chronique du tome 2 de la série Finding de Sloane Kennedy traduite en français sous le titre de Trouver (chronique tome 1 ici ) par Juno Publishing que je tiens à remercier pour ce sp. Sans plus attendre, couverture et résumé:
Dane Winters, veuf, voulait simplement un nouveau départ pour lui et sa fille de six mois après le meurtre de son ex-mari, et déménager dans une petite ville du sud-ouest du Montana lui semblait être un bon début. Mais il ne s’attendait absolument pas à ce qu’un service rendu à un ami tourne en une rencontre mortelle qui finit en collision avec un étranger bien mystérieux ne faisant que traverser la ville.
Ancien agent du FBI, Jaxon Reid s’est arrêté à Dare, dans le Montana, le temps de réparer un tort et pas pour se retrouver avec un vétérinaire de campagne, coincé et méprisant. Mais bientôt, il se trouve attiré par ce père célibataire, calme et peu sûr de lui qui essaie de laisser derrière lui une vie faite de douleur et peines de coeur.
Dane ne peut pas nier son attirance pour Jax, mais il sait qu’une relation avec cet homme magnifique et plus jeune ne peut finir qu’en peine de coeur et le ferait devenir la personne qu’il a juré de ne plus jamais être. Pourtant quand le danger menace, il est forcé de l’accepter dans sa vie et sa maison, avec toute la vulnérabilité que d’être auprès de lui fait remonter à la surface.Au fur et à mesure que leur connexion s’approfondit, Dane peut-il trouver la confiance dont Jax a besoin pour construire une vie ensemble ou va-t-il laisser son passé détruire sa chance d’un véritable avenir ?

Alors alors... ben alors j'ai adoré.. oui je sais je dis souvent ça mais que voulez vous que je vous dise. J'aime beaucoup beaucoup beaucoup la plume de Sloane Kennedy. Je ne sais pas combien de roman de cet auteur j'ai déjà lus mais je n'ai presque jamais été déçue par cet auteur. Et je suis vraiment contente que Juno ai décidé de publier ses romans en français.
Que dire sur ce tome en particulier? J'aime beaucoup la série Finding dont c'est le troisieme tome que je lis (oui j'ai lu le tome 5 en vo) et j'ai adoré retrouver les personnages du tome 1 ainsi que certains personnages de la série The Barretti de la même auteur.

Comme toujours, tous les romans de cet auteur sont liés et c'est un véritable plaisir de retrouver ces personnages auxquels on s'attache au fil des tomes.
J'avais hate de lire l'histoire de Dane et Jax parce que Dane était un personnage qui m'avait beaucoup intriguée dans le premier tome et que je connaissais un peu Jax de par mes lectures des autres romans. Et ce tome est largement à la hauteur de ce à quoi je m'attendais.
De l'action, de l'amour, du sexe, des sentiments bref tous les ingrédients habituels qui font une bonne romance M/M comme je les aime et qui prouvent une fois de plus que Sloane Kennedy est vraiment l'auteur à ne pas manquer à mon sens en tout cas.
Un sans faute pour ce tome 2 qui nous donne également un petit aperçu d'un des personnages du tome 3 qu'il me tarde également de découvrir!

The school year came to an end about the time the boys and I had been living at the lake for almost a month. The transition had been mostly smooth, and Cam and I found we worked very well as a team. For the first couple weeks, I treated our living there as if we were guests. But, Cam sat me down for the first of many chats.
“Kade, this isn’t a bed and breakfast and you aren’t a guest in my home. No more asking if it’s okay if the boys take a bath or if they can have a snack. This is our home. I want you and the boys to be comfortable.” Cam’s words weren’t harsh, but I knew he’d meant what he said.
“Okay, I appreciate that. It’s hard, I don’t want to overstep,” I’d begun. When Cam had started to protest, I held up my hand. “Just let me know if I ever cross the line.”
“Deal.” Cam had agreed.
The boys and I settled in much more after that discussion, and I had to admit our whole arrangement seemed to be going well.
I hadn’t heard from Steph or my attorney, although I knew from a visit to the house that she had taken all of her remaining items. I had the locks changed and started preparations to rent the house. What I wished I had prepared for a little more was the reaction of local friends to my new living arrangement.
Either I hadn’t been listening or the rumor mill kept itself pretty hush-hush. But, the night of Cam’s annual “Welcome to Summer” bonfire, I heard more than I cared to.
After checking on the boys and the local neighborhood kids to make sure they weren’t at the water by themselves or they had a trusted adult with them, I grabbed a beer and headed toward the bonfire to shoot the shit with some long-time buddies.
“He found himself a fuck buddy pretty quickly.” Craig’s words and the resulting laughs echoed in my ears.
“Yeah, husband’s barely cold in the ground before he’s getting his hands on another dick. Guess he couldn’t stand not having a hard one to ride.” A man I barely recognized agreed and more laughter abounded.
“Never thought I’d see Kaden Ramsey turnin’ gay. Must be why that wife of his left. Needed to find a real man, not a butt-fucker.” Craig’s words registered and sent hot anger straight through my core. I downed my beer as the next comment was made, but I’d already made up my mind what I was going to do.
“I mean, I ain’t gonna judge. If Ramsey wants to pack some fudge, it aint’s hurtin’ me none,” Jared, a man I’d considered a decent friend and golf partner, chimed in. “I’m just sayin’, the whole gay thing ain’t my thing, man. Why can’t they just be friends? And what’s it doing to their boys? Don’t seem right to me.”
“Gentlemen,” I spoke from behind them and felt a satisfied spark travel through me when they all turned to face me, their faces pale with fear. “You know what I don’t think is right?” I spoke, using Jared’s words. “I don’t think it’s right that a man would lose the love of his life to cancer. I don’t think it’s right that two young boys would lose their father. I don’t think it’s right that a woman would cheat on her husband and leave her two sons without so much as a second thought.”
I had stepped closer and closer while I spoke. Lowering my voice so as not to call attention to myself, I continued, “I also don’t think it’s right that local friends and neighbors, those who have offered their support through a rough time, would speak ill of men who are supposedly their buddies.” I spit on the ground before running my hand along my jaw as if I was thinking. “In fact, I’d call it downright rude that any man worth his salt would show up for free food and free drinks and sit around a fire spreading more gossip than any quilting bee ever hoped to have.”
None of the men spoke, all of them had found something very interesting to study on the ground. I wasn’t wasting my time, or the evening’s celebrations, on the idiots any longer than I had to.
“I’ll leave you boys with one more thought. Any person, man or woman, would be lucky to have Cam in their life. What’s more, I consider myself damn lucky that Cam and I are friends and work so well together as a team. We’re there for each other and, most importantly, we’re there for our sons. If you all can’t accept that, maybe you should keep your homophobic asses home.”
I shook my head in disgust before walking away. I stopped abruptly when I almost ran over Cam. I glanced at his face to see how much he had heard. Cam’s features were guarded, closed off, so I simply nodded and continued on my way.
5 lucky winners can pick any book from A.D. Ellis backlist (not Kade & Cameron and not box sets)
A.D. Ellis spends the majority of her days loving and wrangling two school-aged children and a husband before heading to the inner city of Indiana to teach a challenging group of alternative education students in grades third through sixth. Most days she hits the gym after school in hopes of running and lifting away the stress and headaches of the day before picking up her children and squeezing a whole day’s worth of loving and living into the too-short hours before bed. It’s no wonder Ms. Ellis lives for the slower, easier days she gets to enjoy on breaks from school.
Growing up in a small farming town in southern Indiana, A.D. is grateful to her mother for passing along the love of reading. With her nose constantly stuck in a book, Ms. Ellis became accustomed to friends and acquaintances snickering and shaking their heads at her love of reading.
A.D. never dreamed of being anything but a teacher, although there are certain times of the year when she laments her career choice. Ms. Ellis had a story idea floating in her head for about a year. After persistent prodding from a friend, A.D. put pen to paper and began writing her first story in October 2013. From that moment on, she was hooked. Taking the people and stories from her head and sharing them with readers is a scary, exhausting, rewarding, and fulfilling experience which A.D. plans to continue until there are no more stories banging around in her mind.
A.D. Ellis’ work can be found on both iBooks and Amazon. Please contact her on Facebook, Twitter, or her website.
