The cloudless blue sky seemed hazed with gloom, and she knew that until he left again she was going to be dragging her bad mood around like a ball and chain.
As she watched Seth stroll toward her, she felt her muscles clench. Clearly her libido hadn’t gotten the memo. Either that, or sexual attraction was no respecter of ages. Fliss—” His voice was husky and his hands slid to her hips, holding her still. “We shouldn’t—you’re upset—” We already feed and care for cats if the owner requests it. I’m talking about pet sitting. Overnight stays. Holiday cover.” That part got her sister’s attention. Had he? Remembering the detail, Fliss felt color flood her cheeks. There were things she hadn’t even told her twin. Things she hadn’t told anyone. “Maybe. That’s enough talking for one day.” She felt unsettled, like a snow globe that had been shaken, leaving her previously settled feelings to swirl madly around inside. How could she still have so many feelings after so long? Weren’t they ever going to fade? It was annoying and unfair. “If Seth is going to be living here, maybe I should leave New York. That would be a solution.” He’d felt a burst of exasperation and frustration, followed by an increased determination that this time they were going to talk.Sarah Morgan's From Manhattan with Love series includes the following installments as of September 2017: Felicity Knight loves New York. But when she spots her ex-husband in the city, Fliss is desperate to escape. I’m not worried, exactly. But I don’t understand where this is coming from. Have we had a complaint about one of our dog walkers or something?”
El libro forma parte de una saga de la que a España solo ha llegado una parte, la que se compone de las historias de tres hermanos con un pasado familiar muy complicado. El primer libro lo protagonizan Daniel y Molly y en este nos encontramos con la hermana de Daniel, Fliss y su ex marido Seth, del que se divorció diez años antes. Su historia comenzó de una forma un poco atropellada y terminó llena de malentendidos y dolor, pero lo que está clarisimo es que jamás han dejado de quererse y que nunca quisieron hacerse daño, simplemente la vida era complicada y ellos demasiado jóvenes para manejar ciertas situaciones. If she was as worthless as he believed then she should probably run into the ocean, but he’d be pleased to be free of her, and she was damned if she was going to do a single thing that might please him. No. Our dog walkers are the best on the planet. Mostly because you have an uncanny instinct for sensing when someone doesn’t really like animals. Our screening process is excellent, and our attrition rate is close to zero.” The only thing that I have to complete about was that I thought it could have ended a little sooner. They worked through a lot of stuff throughout the story. It was quite the process. It was raw and heartbreaking. Finally they got to a good spot, and I felt like this would have been a good ending yet Seth’s sister called and just blew all their progress to smithereens. I just wish that conflict hadn’t come. You see? I can’t possibly talk to him because I’m not in charge of my emotions. But you are. You should definitely pretend to be me. That way you could have this conversation and get it over with and you won’t feel awkward.”Ignoring Seth’s voice, she kept running. He wouldn’t follow her. He’d return to the group and join them in a game of beach volleyball, or maybe they’d surf or swim. Things she’d planned to do today, before her father had arrived unexpectedly for the weekend and ruined it all. She didn’t ever want to be delicate. Her mother was delicate. Watching her navigate her stormy marriage was like watching a single daisy struggling to stay upright in a hurricane. Fliss wanted to be hardy, like a thornbush. The sort of plant people treated with respect and care. And she was fiercely determined to earn a good living so that she would never, ever find herself trapped in the situation her mother had found herself in. What I really want is for you to pretend to be me so that I don’t have to do it at all.” She saw Harriet’s eyes cloud with worry and cursed herself for saying too much. “I was joking!” It’s not sudden. When you’re running your own business it’s important to evolve. There’s a lot of competition out there.” She’d seen just how much competition, but she didn’t share that with Harriet. No sense in worrying her. No need to dramatize it.” Why was her mouth so dry? She took a glass from the cabinet and poured herself some water. “It was fine.”
That fateful birthday. The kiss on the beach. His mouth and hands. The laughter, the sunshine, the smell of the ocean. Passion and promise.And she couldn’t blame her sister for pushing because she hadn’t been honest, had she? She hadn’t told Harriet how she felt. There was something that set him apart from the others. It wasn’t just that he was older, more that he was so sure. He knew what he wanted. He was focused. He made doing the right thing sexy. He was studying to be a vet, and she knew he’d be good at it. He was going to make his father proud. But Seth wasn’t a boy, was he? Seth was a man. A man who recognized that she was a woman. The first person to see her that way, and she decided that just might be the greatest birthday gift of all time. Tengo que reconocer que este libro se me ha hecho un poco más duro que el primero (partiendo de la base de que no son libros para dramar) simplemente por que el personaje de Fliss es de los que me agotan más mentalmente. No es que me caiga mal ni sea mala persona, para nada, pero la forma de afrontar sus problemas es encerrarse, ocultarse, no hablar, dar por hecho lo que cree que es cierto sin comprobarlo... y se me hace más duro por que la ves sufrir tercamente y solo quieres estar ahí para decirle todo lo que necesita saber ya. Evidentemente, todo termina como debe y Fliss tiene justo a las personas que necesita para echarle una mano que es lo importante.
Her hair was the same smooth buttermilk blond, pinned haphazardly at the top of her head in a style that could have been named “afterthought.” Lean and athletic, she walked with purpose and a touch of impatience. It had been her attitude that had convinced him he was looking at Fliss and not Harriet.

She didn’t want to see anyone. Not like this when she was raw and vulnerable. She always kept her feelings inside, but right now there didn’t seem to be room for them all. They filled the space around her heart, made her head ache and her eyes sting. She wasn’t going to cry. She never cried. She wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. If her eyes were watering, it was because of the wind. There was a hot ball of fire lodged in her throat, and she realized with a lurch of horror that she was going to cry. But Seth wasn’t so easily deflected. “Are you sure? Because you don’t look like a woman celebrating her eighteenth birthday.”
