Une novella qui est une jolie conclusion à cette série (lecture VO)

samedi 2 décembre 2023

 J'ai beaucoup aimé la série des frères Winter de Whitley Cox et Ember Leigh dont chaque tome est consacré à un frère et à leur compagne : le premier tome réunissait les trois hommes de la famille qui s'étaient perdus de vue, après le décès de leur père : ils devaient vivre ensemble pendant un an avant de pouvoir toucher leur héritage. Or, eux qui n'étaient jamais venus dans cette ville, découvraient que toute la vie en voulait à leur famille mais ils ne savaient pas pourquoi : il faudra attendre le dernier tome pour connaître les raisons et voir s'ils allaient réussir à se faire accepter par la ville.

 Dans cette novella, qui sert un peu de conclusion, nos trois couples qui vivent toujours ensemble décident de jouer les entremetteurs et de réunir deux personnes emblématiques de la ville et pour cela, ils sont prêts à tout faire, quitte à organiser une fête de Noël dans leur manoir avec une bonne partie de la ville mais aussi les soeurs de Lily, l'héroïne du tome 3 et nouvelle mairesse de la ville. Mais leurs deux amis, assez âgés, n'ont guère envie de venir : il va falloir ruser pour espérer les attirer. En parallèle, un journaliste écrit un article lapidaire sur les trois frères, menaçant de ruiner tout le travail qu'ils ont fait pour se faire accepter par la ville : arriveront-ils à démontrer qu'ils sont vraiment différents de leurs ancêtres. Vous rajoutez des nouvelles de nos trois couples, une alternance de points de vues (chacun a la parole) et vous avez une mignonnette novella avec toujours cette touche de suspense liée à la série et le désamour de la ville vis à vis de la famille mais surtout, ces trois couples qui cherchent à leur tour à provoquer le bonheur des leurs mais aussi de ceux qu'ils ont appris à apprécier. Y arriveront-ils? eh bien, vous le saurez en lisant cette histoire qui se déroulent lors de la saison de Noël.

"The Matchmaking Heirs : first Christmas in Winter Harbor" est sorti le 1er décembre et je remercie Enticing Journey Books Pr pour leur envoi en service presse ou ARC. Rappel, vous avez les chroniques des trois premiers tomes sur le blog.

Présentation de l'éditeur

It’s the Winters brothers first Christmas in Winter Harbor!
They’ve reconciled, found love, found a purpose and are winning over the hearts of the townspeople. 
What more could they ask for?

Perhaps even an inkling of an idea what to get their better half for Christmas for starters.

And now they’ve been tasked with a matchmaking quest that seems downright impossible. Maribel has put it on the brothers and their lady loves to help widow Drucilla Crombie finally get the man she’s pined over for nearly sixty years. But old Mr. Gentry is oblivious and ornery and, according to Maribel, would need a map and a compass to find the nose on his own face, so he’s completely hopeless when it comes to love.

Now, it’s up to Callum, Carson, Colton and their women to help bring the two Winter Harborites together once and for all. But it won’t be easy. And if that’s not hard enough, there’s a journalist in Summer Hills hell-bent on dragging the Summers and Winters family names through the mud. So they need to figure out what his problem is and put a stop to it before things escalate and ruin Christmas for everyone.

Get ready for 
laughter, swoony moments, and one unforgettable Christmas in the quirky small coastal town of Winter Harbor, Oregon as the brothers and their loves unravel mysteries, play matchmakers and sneak moments under the mistletoe for the first time ever.

Mon avis : Je vous l'ai dit, j'ai retrouvé avec plaisir ces trois couples et cette ambiance particulière qui règne aussi bien dans cette petite ville si solidaire, propre aux romances anglo-saxonnes et ces couples que l'on a appris à connaître et à apprécier. Comme ils ont trouvé le bonheur, ils décident de jouer à leur tour les cupidons avec deux personnes bien connues de la ville et qu'ils aiment beaucoup. C'est d'autant plus mignon que ce sont des personnes âgées et ça, c'est original. Mais leurs deux amis n'ont guère envie de venir à la fameuse fête qu'ils vont organiser dans leur manoir. Progressivement, cette soirée s'élargit et c'est quasi toute la ville, celle qui leur était hostile, qui va venir au manoir. 
En parallèle, on il y a cet article négatif, faisant référence à ce que l'on leur reprochait, étant les enfants de ceux qui avaient mise à mal la ville et ils ont peur que leurs nouveaux amis et cette paix encore fragile, soien
t mise à mal. On retrouve leurs doutes mais aussi leurs moments d'amour et de complicité pour chaque couple : on a donc de jolis moments, tout comme ceux qu'ils usent pour faire venir leurs vieux amis à leurs fêtes. 
Epanouis, les frères Winter peuvent laisser parler leur vrai caractère et leur joie à vivre ensemble et leur envie de toujours rendre plus heureuse les femmes de leur vie.

Bref, c'est une jolie conclusion, bien dans l'esprit de la série et en même temps, dans cette époque particulière qu'est Noël et ses miracles. 
Comme je l'ai dit, lors de ma chronique précédente, j'espère que les soeurs de Lily auront aussi leurs histoires et qu'elles trouveront le bonheur.
C'est une série sympa à découvrir que je vous conseille.

“How are your balls?”

“Happily empty.”

Amaya giggled. 

“So … speaking of happily …” What a horrendous segue. Whatever, I had to use what was at my disposal. I was desperate.

“Hmm?”

“Come Christmas morning, what would make you happiest? What is Amaya hoping to find under the tree from Santa Claus?”

She snorted and started to draw pleasant circles around my nipple with the tip of her fingernail. “Is that a euphemism?”

“You want my dick under the tree? That’s gonna make Christmas morning with my brothers a little awkward.”

“Ah, this house is one big rabbit warren. Everyone is boning all the time. I doubt they’d be that fazed by it.”

That was true. We really were a bunch of horny rabbits.

“Seriously, though, Vix, what do you want for Christmas?” I hated that I’d resorted to asking, but I was at a loss, and the days to Christmas were getting fewer and fewer. I needed a jumping off point. 

She was quiet for a while. At first, I thought she’d fallen asleep, which wouldn’t have surprised me, but then she shifted against me and sighed. “I have everything I could ever want. I don’t need anything.”

I resisted the urge to growl. That didn’t help me one bit. 

Squeezing her tighter, I pressed my lips to the crown of her head, inhaling her sweet floral scent. “Humor me.”

“I want you to surprise me, Carson. Do something unexpected. Outside your comfort zone. Bring joy to the masses. I’ve loved watching you reinvent yourself and your family name so much over these past few months, but I want to see something even bigger. A grander gesture. Something huge to really show Winter Harbor and me that you are Carson three-point-oh.”










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.



Ember Leigh has been writing erotic romance novels since she was far too young. A native of northern Ohio, she currently resides near Lake Erie with her Argentinean husband, where they run an Argentinian-American food truck and wrangle two wild boys.
