Bonjour à tous,
J’espère que vous allez bien.. Les jours se suivent… et se ressemblent vu qu’on est toujours en confinement. Pour ma part, je fais le pont ce week end (et oui je travaille du mardi au samedi donc j’ai du poser une demi journée pour faire le pont) ce qui fait que je vais pouvoir me reposer et tourner des vidéos pour le blog. Je vous retrouve aujourd’hui pour le tome 13 de la série The Protectors de Sloane Kenendy. Le tome 12 était sorti en mai 2018 donc j’avais hâte d’avoir l’histoire de Matias et Sam. Résumé:
I wanted him from the moment I laid eyes on him and from that point on, the question wasn’t if I’d have him but when…
Thirty-five-year-old Matias de la Vega is good at one thing and one thing only. Though he doesn’t officially carry the title of killer when it comes to his role in an underground vigilante group, he’s got no problem getting his hands dirty if it means getting justice for those who can’t get it on their own.
Such is the case when single dad Sam Wittier is confronted by a stalker bent on murder. While neutralizing the threat is all in a day’s work for Matias, what comes after is anything but. Although Matias isn’t particularly surprised by his attraction to the older Sam, his inability to walk away from the still-grieving widower is a complication.
An unexpected and dangerous complication…
Nothing about the mysterious Matias makes sense to me. The emotionally distant soldier says what he means and takes what he wants. And for whatever reason, what he wants is me. That should have me running for the hills. It should, but it doesn’t…
For forty-eight-year-old Sam Wittier, life is as good as it’s been since he lost the man of his dreams more than two decades earlier. After handing the reins of his successful business over to his older son, Sam is happy to settle into the quiet, simple life of being a full-time single dad to his newly adopted little boy.
Unfortunately, life didn’t get the message. After nearly losing everything to a deranged stalker, Sam finds himself face to face with a man who is anything but quiet and simple. There’s no reason he should want the unpredictable, take-no-prisoners Matias in his life or his bed, but just like life, his body isn’t getting the message.
One night with Sam is all I need to get him out of my head for good. One night will be enough to end my obsession with him. It has to be…
While Sam and Matias share a white-hot chemistry that neither has ever known before, that’s about all they have in common. But as one passionate encounter leads to another and the line between obsession and need begins to blur, will Matias and Sam find that maybe they aren’t so different after all? And what will that mean for the ghosts of the past that have haunted each man for so long?
The ghosts that are willing to be buried as well as the ones that aren’t…
FR- Alors alors… alors…forcément, la série The Protectors reste une de mes séries chouchou de cette auteure même si ce n’est pas ma préférée. Mais étant donné que c’est la série avec laquelle j’ai découvert cette auteure, elle restera toujours particulière pour moi.
L’auteure nous avait promis l’histoire de Sam et Matias depuis la sortie de la nouvelle « Protecting Eliott » sortie en octobre 2017. J’ai du relire la fin de la nouvelle pour tout me remettre en tête mais ce n’était pas dérangeant.
J’ai trouvé que ce tome était différent des autres. Si on retrouve les principales caractéristiques de la série The Protectors : une différence d’âge, un personnage en danger, des enfants, l’histoire de celui ci se concentre beaucoup plus sur la relation physique entre Matias et Sam que sur autre chose. Contrairement à d’habitude, les personnages couchent ensemble dès le début et leur relation amoureuse se construit petit à petit. J’ai trouvé que c’était assez cohérent avec l’âge et le caractère des personnages.
J’ai beaucoup aimé la relation entre Sam et Matias, j’ai aimé les deux personnages autant l’un que l’autre et j’ai encore une fois passé un très bon moment de lecture.
J’ai adoré le fait que d’autres personnages de l’auteure soient présents. J’aime quand c’est le cas et j’ai adoré retrouver Ronan, Declan Jagger et Ren.
Une fois de plus, la plume de l’auteure est toujours aussi bonne. Le roman est entraînant, cohérent et les événements s’enchaînent sans jamais nous faire lever les yeux au ciel.
J’ai aimé la relation entre Matias et Cruz tout comme celle entre Sam et Eliott. Plusieurs thèmes, classiques dans cette série, sont abordés d’une nouvelle manière et j’ai dévoré ce roman. Je suis contente d’avoir retrouvé cette série meme si ce tome également contient tous les clichés liés au Protectors (oui tout le monde est gay, oui tout le monde s’entend bien avec tout le monde, oui tout le monde est beau et viril et peut faire l’amour 15 fois d’affilé sans problème, meme à 40 ans passé.) Mais on oublie vite tous ces petits défauts pour se concentrer sur l’histoire, sur les personnages et sur la plume de Sloane Kennedy qui est toujours aussi efficace.
En résumé, un très bon tome dans une série qui retrouve son souffle, un roman légèrement différent tout en gardant les lignes directrices de la série la plus emblématique de l’auteure.
ENG- So well well well.. well inevitably, the series The Protectors remains one of my favorite series of this author even if it is not my favorite. But since it is the series with which I discovered this author, it will always remain special for me.
The author had promised us the story of Sam and Matias since the release of the new « Protecting Eliott » released in October 2017. I had to re-read the end of the news to put everything back in my mind but it was not disturbing.
I found that this volume was different from the others. If we find the main characteristics of the series The Protectors: an age difference, an endangered character, children, the story of this one focuses much more on the physical relationship between Matias and Sam than on anything else. Contrary to usual, the characters sleep together from the start and their romantic relationship is built up little by little. I found that it was fairly consistent with the age and character of the characters.
I really liked the relationship between Sam and Matias, I liked the two characters as much as each other and I again had a great time reading.
I loved the fact that other characters from the author were present. I like it when I do and I loved meeting Ronan, Declan Jagger and Ren.
Once again, the author’s pen is still as good. The novel is catchy, coherent and the events are linked without ever making us roll our eyes.
I liked the relationship between Matias and Cruz as well as that between Sam and Eliott. Several themes, classic in this series, are approached in a new way and I devoured this novel. I’m glad I found this series even if this volume also contains all the pictures related to Protectors (yes everyone is gay, yes everyone gets along with everyone, yes everyone is beautiful and manly and can make love 15 times in a row without problem, even at 40 years old.) But we quickly forget all these little faults to focus on the story, the characters and the pen of Sloane Kennedy who is always as effective.
In summary, a very good volume in a series that finds its breath, a slightly different novel while keeping the guidelines of the most emblematic series of the author.
