Un dernier tome tout aussi passionnant que les autres (lecture VO)

dimanche 22 octobre 2023

 Whitley Cox fait partie de ces auteures anglo-saxonnes que je lis systématiquement et sa dernière série "Les soeurs Young" ne fait pas exception : malheureusement, la série se termine avec ce dernier tome "Done with you" qui met en scène la dernière soeur célibataire "Oona", psychiatre renommée de métier mais qui s'adonne aussi, le soir, sous un autre nom au pole dance burlesque, Luna Love. Or, un soir, elle rencontre lors d'un show, un policier : Aiden, qui lui aussi, ne lui donne pas son vrai nom et se présente sous le nom de Caden et ils passent la nuit ensemble. Or, ce qu'ils ne savent pas ni l'un ni l'autre, c'est qu'ils ont rendez-vous le lendemain matin, ensemble, car Aiden a été suspendu pour avoir frappé un automobiliste qui avait bu alors qu'il avait un jeune enfant à l'arrière et que cela a été filmé et c'est devenu viral. Non seulement, il ressent cela comme une injustice, ce qui accentue la colère qui couve en lui mais il lui a fallu du temps pour obtenir un rendez-vous après de cette spécialiste des troubles post-traumatiques mais quand ils se voient, bien évidemment, Oona refuse de le soigner et il le prend très mal et est odieux avec elle suite à ce rejet. Il s'en va (alors qu'elle lui avait proposé de se revoir, tout en lui promettant de lui trouver rapidement une autre thérapeute) mais ce qu'ils ne savent pas, encore, c'est qu'ils prennent le même avion le soir-même, pour le même endroit puisque son frère à lui, Jordan et sa soeur à elle, Rayma se marient : ils vont donc se retrouver dans la même maison pendant une semaine et vu leurs relations... est-ce que leur famille va réaliser ce qui se passe entre eux? est-ce que Oona arrivera à lui faire comprendre qu'elle est intéressée par lui mais qu'elle ne peut pas le traiter en raison de leur relation? Est-ce que Aiden va enfin constater qu'il a tort, qu'il a besoin d'aide pour canaliser sa colère et aller de l'avant? eh bien, vous le saurez en lisant ce dernier tome des soeurs Young.

"Done with you" est sorti le 14 octobre et je remercie Enticing Journey Books Pr, comme à chaque fois, pour leur envoi en service presse.

Présentation de l'éditeur

She already knows all of his secrets, and that’s what terrifies him the most.

Looking for one night to forget her problems, Oona Young uses an alias and follows a handsome stranger back to his hotel room. Their time together is brief but passionate, and she leaves in the morning, believing she’ll never see him again. Only when her newest patient is the same man who’s seen all of her tattoos, do things get awkward. She’s read his file and knows what he’s dealing with. Ethically, she must refuse to treat him.

Forced into therapy before he can return to active duty as a police officer, Aiden Lassiter has been on the waitlist to see Dr. Young for months. So imagine his frustration and shock when the woman, who hasn’t left his thoughts since that wild night he used a fake name, is sitting in the therapist’s chair and refuses to treat him.
Things can’t get any worse, right?

Oh, but they can and certainly do when he finally works up the courage to visit his estranged brother and Oona ends up beside him on the plane. Little do either of them know they’re in for one interesting Christmas.

Mon avis : j'ai toujours un peu de mal avec "les ennemis to lovers" parce que j'ai du mal à adhérer, me connaissant ^^ en effet, je suis un peu rancunière (euphémisme ^^ ) et j'aurais du mal à avoir une relation avec une personne qui a été odieuse avec moi par le passé et soyons clairs, si Aiden/Caden est adorable au départ quand il rencontre Oona/Luna, quand il apprend qui elle est et qu'elle ne veut pas l'aider, il devient un sombre connard et est odieux avec elle. Or, elle ne le mérite pas! Elle est intègre et essaie de lui faire comprendre qu'elle l'apprécie mais que cela va contre la déontologie mais Aiden est tellement en colère contre la terre entière, y compris lui-même qu'il va sabrer tout les efforts qu'elle fait pour communiquer avec lui. Mais la jeune femme, comme ses soeurs, a déjà eu son lot de souffrances et y compris avec son ex et même si elle comprend qu'il souffre, il est hors de question qu'elle lui serve de pushing ball verbal. Ils ont donc une relation intense et compliquée, y compris quand ils sont coincés dans la maison de leur frère et soeur. De plus, Aiden renoue avec son frère, plus jeune que lui et qui lui a géré leurs problèmes d'enfance. Bref, c'est une romance un peu particulière entre colère et amour (même si le mot n'est jamais prononcé) avec la tension du mariage à organiser, l'arrivée des soeurs de la jeune femme et de leurs conjoints mais cela nous permet de revoir des personnages que j'apprécie particulièrement les Hart (tous les tomes sont chroniqués) puisque Heath qui a épousé la soeur aînée de Oona mais aussi leur mère, Joy, psychiatre aussi (mais dans un autre domaine ^^ ) qui est un amour et qui pourrait bien aider le jeune homme s'il lui en laisse la possibilité. 
 Bref, même si on comprend pourquoi Aiden en est là, on a envie de le frapper plus d'une fois car Oona ne mérite pas les paroles qu'il lui lance au visage. Fort heureusement, elle a des soeurs avec lesquelles elle s'entend fabuleusement et qui seront là pour elle, même si elle ne veut pas gâcher le grand jour de Jordan et Rayma. 

C'est donc une belle conclusion que nous offre Whitley Cox avec ce tome : on sait ce que sont devenus tous les couples, on revoit les parents des jeunes femmes avec lesquelles elles sont fâchées et qui sont si différents d'elles. Même si ce n'est pas mon thrope préféré, la magie fonctionne toujours et l'on tourne les pages avec un impatience pour savoir comment ils vont finir ensemble.  Comme toujours, il y a un bonus à télécharger sur le site de l'auteure qui se déroule 3 ans après et ça, j'adore. 

Bref, je suis triste de quitter cette série mais ai déjà hâte de lire la prochaine : les soeurs ou petits amis/maris ont tous des amis ou frère/soeur, espérons donc qu'un spin-off découlera de ces personnages secondaires. En tout les cas, moi, je serai là. 
Petite remarque, Whitley Cox sera présente à la Rare de Paris en avril 2024 : une occasion de la découvrir et de la rencontrer et moi, j'ai hâte.

















A Canadian West Coast baby born and raised, Whitley is married to her high school sweetheart, and together they have two beautiful daughters and a fluffy dog. She spends her days making food that gets thrown on the floor, vacuuming Cheerios out from under the couch and making sure that the dog food doesn't end up in the air conditioner. But when nap time comes, and it's not quite wine o'clock, Whitley sits down, avoids the pile of laundry on the couch, and writes.

A lover of all things decadent; wine, cheese, chocolate and spicy erotic romance, Whitley brings the humorous side of sex, the ridiculous side of relationships and the suspense of everyday life into her stories. With single dads, firefighters, Navy SEALs, mommy wars, body issues, threesomes, bondage and role-playing, Whitley’s books have all the funny and fabulously filthy words you could hope for.

Things can’t get any worse, right?

Oh, but they can and certainly do when he finally works up the courage to visit his estranged brother and Oona ends up beside him on the plane. Little do either of them know they’re in for one interesting Christmas.




“What can you say about the book you’ve been waiting for to come out but WOWZERS! This is the last Young sister we’ve seen her in past books but wow is Oona amazing. She and Aiden meet unexpectedly and have a fun sexy night together. However the next day everything goes down hill and keeps on rolling. Will they figure it out?” ~Mrs Taz (Amazon Review)
“My favourite scene in the story is when all of the sisters are able to get together and really work through just how hurtful their upbringing was. But then they realized that finding strength in the struggle to become the women they turned out to be: top of their game in their chosen professions, loved by friends and family, desired by the men who stood up for their love really made their chosen family theirs.” ~AngelaC (Amazon Review)


“I can smell you,” he growled, trailing his fingers delicately up her inner thigh, gathering some of her arousal that coated her inner lips, and pressing the pad of his thumb against her clit. “Smell how bad you want me. How bad you want my cock in your tight little cunt.”

Normally, a man smelling her arousal would be something that would embarrass her. Yet, with Aiden, she was turned on by it. She didn’t care. Didn’t give a damn that he knew how hot she was for him. How much she wanted him. He clearly wanted her, too, otherwise, he wouldn’t have attacked her with his mouth and undressed her. 

Her body was open and ready for him. Ready to welcome the enemy. 

They could keep things drama free for Rayma and Jordan’s sake, but right now, they had things they needed to clear up. Closure sex. 

Yeah, that’s what this was. 

Angry, hateful, closure sex. 

That was a thing, right?

Like a bookend to a bad story. They had sex as strangers. Albeit strangers who seemed to like each other and get along. Then things turned ugly. And now, they were at the end of the book, and although it wasn’t a happy ending, they were attempting to wrap things up with a hate fuck of closure. 

That made very little sense to her, but whatever. That was what it was. 

Reaching between them, she wrapped her fingers around his cock and stroked him, pulling a bear-like growl from deep within his chest. “Why?” he breathed, dropping his mouth next to her ear. 

She had no answers. She couldn’t push a word from her tight throat if she tried. 

“I hate you,” he said, his mouth next to her temple. 

Yeah, and she wasn’t overly fond of him, either. 

“But I … I can’t resist. No fucking self-control.”

Whoa! Her pussy spasmed and she nearly came from that tortured confession.

With her free hand, she shoved her fingers into his hair and wrenched his head back, only to take his mouth with force, wedging her tongue between his lips. He bit her lip and growled again, taking control of their kiss, and forcing her to tilt her head the other way. 

She ripped her mouth away, pulling in air like she’d just resurfaced from a record-breaking free dive. She needed to keep hold of at least some of her wits. To keep her desire for this man, whom she definitely shouldn’t want, from completely drowning her. To remind him that he hated her, and this was a terrible idea. 

But still, no words formed on her tongue. The ability to put vowels and consonants together to form words eluded her.

And it wasn’t just because she didn’t want to be the one to break, it was because even though she knew this was a terrible idea, a colossally disastrous idea, she couldn’t stop.

She didn’t want to.

Then, he pushed one finger, and another into her channel and pumped. Their cheeks were glued together, sweat forming between their pressed-together skin, as they both panted, his cock throbbing hotly in her palm while she stroked him. He curled his fingers inside of her and she ground down onto his palm, biting her lip and tipping her head back. But he wasn’t having any of that, apparently, and pulled his fingers free of her almost fast enough to give her pussy whiplash. 

Then she was off the counter and bent over the arm of the couch, ass in the air. She didn’t remember leaving her purse in the living room last night, but there it was, right on the floor beside his big, bare feet. He bent down and rifled through it until he found a condom. The sound of the wrapper being ripped open was deafening, and the anticipation of what was to come, agonizing and glorious. 

Her legs shook and her pussy pulsed, causing another trickle of arousal to run down her inner thigh.
