IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SIMPLE...

With one more errand to go--the purchase of a hunting falcon--Andrew Blackshear has Christmas completely under control. As his sister's impending marriage signals the inevitable drifting-apart of the Blackshear family, it's his last chance to give his siblings the sort of memorable, well-planned holiday their parents could never seem to provide.

He has no time to dawdle, no time for nonsense, and certainly no time to drive the falconer's vexing, impulsive, lush-lipped, midnight-haired daughter to a house party before heading home. So why the devil did he agree to do just that?

IT COULDN'T BE MORE DELICIOUSLY MIXED-UP...

Lucy Sharp has been waiting all her too-quiet life for an adventure, and she means to make the most of this one. She's going to enjoy the house party as no one has ever enjoyed a house party before, and in the meanwhile she's going to enjoy every minute in the company of amusingly stern, formidably proper, outrageously handsome Mr. Blackshear. Let him disapprove of her all he likes--it's not as though they'll see each other again after today.

...or will they? When a carriage mishap and a snowstorm strand the pair miles short of their destination, threatening them with scandal and jeopardizing all their Christmas plans, they'll have to work together to save the holiday from disaster. And along the way they just might learn that the best adventures are the ones you never would have thought to plan.

真感謝bookworm了!如果不是你推薦並且分享零元的消息,我就看不到這本書了!

這本書真的很有趣,一切發生在兩天半的時間內,男女主角的心理轉折刻畫的滿細膩的,而且兩人性格的衝突點是最吸引我的地方,那bookworm已經將故事介紹的挺清楚的了,我就不贅述,男女主角整篇其實都沒提到「love」這個關鍵詞,但互相的吸引,因為對方而造成的改變都隱隱其中,耐人尋味。

沒給滿分葉子的原因是那些斜體的心理戲看得我好累唷!感覺老花真的快找上我了!

很喜歡女主角Lucy的善體人意,雖然對男主角來說,Lucy是個不遵從社交規範的異類,但是就是這樣的女性才能解開他過度守禮的心結啊!而其中選擇獵鷹的橋段,其實也有代表意義,身為大哥的Andrew自顧自給妹妹選擇獵鷹到底是對的嗎?請有興趣者自己看看吧!

itune現在本書也是零元,推薦去下載來看唷!

補充一下,這本書是2014AAR最佳短篇小說~

 

一定要給五葉唷,這本可愛又精巧的短篇羅曼史,用短短的篇幅寫下兩人從零到結婚生子的過程,裡面有滿滿的轉折跟情緒情感的鋪陳,連兩人成長背景的影響也寫得栩栩如生,更別說幽默搞笑的梗鋪排得恰到好處。這種書就是要毫不考慮灑五葉的啦!

其實看完這本一陣子了,但是老實說我是偷時間看的,這兩三個月來真是忙翻了,一直到現在才想起來要推這本書給童鞋(雖然我知道真正在看原文書的小貓沒幾隻,但是就是以防萬一有人冒出來想查查看哪本原文好看,就會找到這本。不屈不撓呀!!)

先簡介一下這個可愛的故事:

男主角andrew blackshear要給妹妹一個特別的難忘的結婚禮物,他竟然想到要送她一隻鷹。於是他找到了傳說中對鷹很有研究、並且家中有在賣鷹的Sharp家。在路上他見到一個散著頭髮走在雨中的高窕女子,一見傾心。沒想到竟然就是Sharp家的獨生女。只是進到Sharp家之後,andrew沒想到所有他畢生努力維持跟學習的社會禮儀全都失效了。因為這個Sharp家根本就是自我中心、特立獨行的一家。

劇情的安排就是女主角lucy其實也暗中傾心於andrew,想盡辦法要讓他在家裡多留一天。但是andrew是一個非常重視家族的大哥,他急著要回家鄉去跟兄弟姊妹們度過聖誕夜。而lucy則是要前往親戚家去參加她有生以來第一個house party,期望能把自己嫁出去。結果就是在某個狀況發生後~andrew不得不擔任司機,護送lucy到這個party去。

而這趟旅程,中間的過程實在是讓人拍案叫絕。所以書名的意思就是,本來兩個人起程時都各自安排好的聖誕節,卻經過了完美的破壞,到了一去不復返的境界,然後回頭一看才發現這個完美的破壞,竟然帶來了難以想像的完美結局。

拜託~拜託~請大家去看吧!!

我實在太喜歡這個女主角了。太喜歡這個男主角了。然後更喜歡每次CG在書中都會暗藏著那些寓意,連貫起書中角色的安排。還有他們的對話,他們對峙的場景,他們情不自禁愛上彼此的那些時刻的描寫。還有假裝是夫妻,躺在同一張床上不小心發生的事情~~(千萬別以為是老梗~~一點都不老梗呀!~我真是佩服CG)

快點下載~目前零元~零元的爛書就算了~但是零元的好書~一定要動作快!!
