Sinopse: Bela e inexperiente, Anna Cochran não era correspondida em sua paixão por Evan Tremayne, para que as virgens deveriam ficar protegidas de homens do seu tipo, um vaqueiro rude, que não saberia lidar com a delicadeza de uma jovem mulher. Mas Anna estava disposta a tudo para conquistar o amor desse solteirão encantador, e Evan sentiu-se encurralado. O que pretendia defender, afinal: a pureza de Anna ou sua vida de solteirão? Temas: Fazendeiros e Cowboys, Mocinho mais velho, Mocinha Determinada, Mocinha Ousada, Mocinho Ogro, Ciumentos-Possessivos e Dominadores. Comentário - CONTÉM SPOILERS (só leia se você não liga saber os acontecimentos antes de ler o livro) Não sou fã da Diana Palmer. Quando é pra detestar um livro dela, detesto mesmo, mas quando é pra gostar, gosto demaaaais. É o caso desse livro, adorei! Tive uma série de reações: primeiro detestei o mocinho, depois o compreendi, achei a mocinha pegajosa e depois morri de dó dela. Eu gosto quando um livro consegue arrancar várias emoções da gente. Pra resumir bem, o grande conflito do livro é: Anna, uma moça de 19 anos, apaixona-se perdidamente por Evan, um fazendeiro de 34. Ela é tão obcecada por ele, que vive o perseguindo e até virou motivo de piada na cidade. Evan a despreza totalmente, faz questão de evitá-la e deixar claro que ela é uma criança pra ele. Morri de dó dela, no começo pensei "Ela não tem amor próprio? Que pentelha!". Logo no início da história, o mocinho percebe que estava atraído por ela... "o quê? Eu atraído por uma adolescente? Estou ficando louco, preciso dar uma basta nisso". Então, para acabar de vez com a fixação da mocinha, ele vai à festa da mãe dela, acompanhado de uma ex!! Uma modelo que ele havia namorado há muito tempo. Na festa ele fez o maior teatrinho, não desgrudava da mulher e ainda a beijou na frente de todos. Ele não estava nem um pouco interessado nela, só queria que a atração pela mocinha passasse e que a mocinha se afastasse dele. E ele conseguiu! A mocinha ficou tão chocada e decepcionada, que no mesmo momento começou a dar atenção ao amigo Randall e a tratar o mocinho com frieza. É aí que o livro começa a ficar bom! O mocinho fica tão incomodado com a frieza dela, que no dia seguinte arruma uma desculpa pra ir à casa dela, só pra ver se ela ia cair em cima dele de novo. Mas pra decepção dele, ela nem deu atenção. (Rááá, adorei! Ele baixou a bola). A partir daí, acontece a maior batalha de ciúmes: de um lado o mocinho fica desfilando com a ex Nina pela cidade e do outro a mocinha tratando Evan com frieza e namorando o Randall. Os dois estavam infelizes, o mocinho se deu conta de que a queria mais que tudo e nenhuma mulher satisfaria seu desejo. E tudo piora quando a mocinha aceita se casar com Randall! Achei infantil a atitude dela, mas coitada estava sofrendo muuuuuito. Mas não era só a diferença de idade que impedia o mocinho de ficar com ela, a principal razão (como sempre) é um trauma do passado. Meninas, vocês não vão acreditar o motivo!!! O "problema" é que o mocinho é muuuuuito bem dotado! kkkkk Quem não gosta de um mocinho com um pacote generoso? Mas Evan teve uma experiência traumática. Ele namorava uma moça que amava muito, e estava muito desejoso por ela. Ela era virgem e quando foram ter a primeira vez, ela ficou cho-ca-da quando o viu nu. Mas a coisa esquentou demais, o mocinho estava super excitado e não teve controle da situação. Apesar de a namorada empurrá-lo, gritar, etc, ele não conseguiu parar. Ela se machucou, caiu quebrou a costela. Ela detonou o mocinho e ele ficou marcado pela experiência terrível. Detestei a atitude dele, pra mim teve cara de estupro. Mas enfim, como a Anna era muito nova e virgem, ele tinha medo de machucá-la e deixá-la chocada com o tamanho do 'menino'. Por isso não queria assumir a atração que sentia por ela, e a desprezava. Porém tudo mudou quando ela decidiu se casar com outro. Só faltava um empurrãozinho para o Evan lutar pela mocinha e conquistar a confiança dela. E esse empurrão foi um assalto que a mocinha sofreu: ela foi espancada e entrou em coma! O mocinho ficou louco, a partir daí nada o impediu de correr atrás dela, nem o trauma dele, nem o noivo dela. Por fim os dois se casam. Bom, se o mocinho achava que ela ia ficar com medo de fazer amor com ele, estava muito enganado. A mocinha além de tomar a iniciativa, foi ousada. "Atacou-o" enquanto ele dormia. Só não gostei que ele fugiu na noite da lua-de-mel, com medo de assustá-la. Mas na manhã seguinte, ela tirou a roupa e montou nele hahaha. O mocinho se libertou do trauma e foram felizes para sempre hihihi O que não gostei: - Fiquei morrendo de pena da Anna, quando o mocinho aparece com a Nina :( Por isso que classifiquei o mocinho como ogro, acho que ele foi cruel. Mas fora isso, ele não é tão ogro, principalmente quando cuidou dela no hospital. - Só eu tenho raiva de vilãs confiantes demais? Quando a mocinha sabe se impor, tudo bem, mas não é o caso. - Se o final fosse mais longo, seria perfeito. A gente espera tanto o momento da entrega total e ela só ocorre bem no finalzinho :( O que gostei: - Achei realmente emocionante quando a mocinha começa a dar uma fria nele. - Adorei quando a rival da mocinha leva o troco. - o tipo do mocinho. Ele é descrito como um moreno muito alto, muito grande, muito tudo. Adoooooro mocinhos assim, grandões e avantajados, principalmente quando o físico vem de um trabalho duro na fazenda...Oh my God! "Era um homem muito alto, um verdadeiro gigante, de braços e pernas musculosos, largo tórax e quadris estreitos." E apesar de o mocinho ficar provocando a Anna, chamando-a de adolescente, de adolescente ela não tem nada. Além do fogo (kkk), ela é descrita assim: Anna Cochran com seus dezenove anos, era uma jovem verdadeiramente escultural: loira, olhos azuis, curvas acentuadas e pernas longas e bronzeadas. E em alguns momentos fala-se de suas curvas voluptuosas. MENINAS, a tradução está horríííível. Se fosse um livro fraco, eu teria largado nas primeiras páginas. Mas a leitura me envolveu, por isso aguentei essa péssima tradução. Mesmo não estando legal, vou compartilhar para quem queira ler. Se alguém tiver esse mesmo livro com uma tradução melhor, ficarei grata se me enviar. Bejoca! BAIXA AQUI

From classic fringed jackets to doubled-up belts (trust it, it works), Clint Eastwood’s iconic roles in western films have made him one of the most fashionable actors of all time. Searching for a ranch-style upgrade this summer? It starts with these six tips…
Legendary photographer of the American West David Stoecklein left a legacy in memorable pictures. He loved good cow dogs, skilled horsewomen, hardworking cowboys, big storms coming in on lonesome prairies, the camaraderie of cattle gathers, and quiet sunrise rides in the mountains. Most of all, photographer David Stoecklein loved documenting the West in all its grit and grandeur. Whether it was the galloping remuda of a ranch somewhere thundering out of backlit dust, a snow-encrusted cowboy riding into camp cradling a nearly frozen lost calf, or a dramatic view of the Lost River Range in his adopted state of Idaho, he trained his lens on the narrative of the West and came to be known as one of its foremost visual storytellers. When he died on November 10, 2014, at age 65, Stoecklein left an exhaustive library of memorable images and countless friends made during decades of capturing the Western lifestyle that the outgoing former Easterner had embraced as his own. A native of Pennsylvania, Stoecklein went west for the powder, following the ski-bum dream at age 20. After some success selling ski pictures, he began shooting other outdoor sports and soon found himself on assignment for clients such as Coca-Cola, Wrangler, Ford, Vogt Silversmiths, Budweiser, and Justin Boots. He eventually settled in Idaho, where he had a home (in Sun Valley), a ranch (the Bar Horseshoe just north of Macay in the Lost River Valley), and a family (wife Mary and three sons: Drew, Taylor, and Colby). It was there that Stoecklein would build his life and his small publishing empire of photo-filled calendars, datebooks, notecards, and dozens of coffee-table books. His burgeoning business saw him constantly coming and going from the airport on photo assignments for a host of commercial clients such as 20th Century Fox, Dos Equis, and Stetson. But his favorite subjects were closer to home: the ranchers and the cowboys and cowgirls who were neighbors, friends, and colleagues. In some ways, the West was his destiny. “He grew up in Pittsburgh and just hated the East Coast and always fantasized about the West. Hopalong Cassidy was his imaginary friend when he was a little kid,” says son Taylor. “I think it’s amazing that a guy from Pittsburgh could become the foremost photographer of the West. What made that possible? His passion. He really had a passion to get out there and take photos, make friends, and preserve the Western way of life.” The photographer seemed to make friends wherever he went. “I like to think he had the heart and soul of a giant,” says Western entertainment icon Red Steagall, who became fast friends with Stoecklein as members of the exclusive California men’s equestrian social club Rancheros Visitadores. “There was nothing he wouldn’t tackle. Everything he did was professional and had a lot of heart and feeling. His images of the Western way of life have an emotion that will last forever.” One of the things that meant the most to both of them, Steagall says, was the shows they did for charities: Born to This Land and Ride for the Brand. “We did those shows for museums and scholarship charities — his images and the music and poetry of myself and some friends. We had so much fun doing that.” Stampede Born in the USA Winter Save 1/3 Steagall admires all of Stoecklein’s work but says his favorite book would have to be The Texas Cowboys (1997). “He did a lot on the Saunders Ranch and the ranches of other people I know. People in it are friends. It means a lot to me.” Weatherford, Texas, rancher Tom B. Saunders IV, who wrote the text that accompanies Stoecklein’s photos in the book, remembers how the project came together and became a four-year collaboration with the “bighearted and beloved” Stoecklein. “David was here on the ranch for about a week doing a shoot on cowboy gear,” Saunders recalls. “He was very entertaining and personable, and we got to be pretty good friends. He told me he was trying to do a book a year. I said I wouldn’t mind being involved in a book on the Texas cowboy (he’d already done one on the Idaho cowboy), and we partnered up on it.” The two visited 23 Texas ranches — each meeting the criterion of still being ranched by the same family after at least 100 years — in seven different regions of the vast state. “When David got into something, he went all the way,” Saunders says. “What I really admired about him was we wouldn’t work on the weekends. He always left on Friday to go spend the weekends with his family. I just thought a lot of the man. David put his whole soul into it, and I think his photographs show it.” Vogt Silversmiths founder Chet Vogt remembers Stoecklein’s many photo shoots at Vogt’s Three Creeks Ranch on the northern end of California’s Sacramento Valley. “People really gravitated to Dave,” Vogt says. “He was a big personality, but he was such a down-to-earth guy in his private life and a real talent. I have a whole line of books of his and a lot of his work on the walls.” Vogt’s favorite has to be a photograph called Afternoon With Grandpa. “It was taken here, of me and my grandson, who was just 4 then. You don’t see our faces, just his body and my legs, my hands around his back. It’s hanging right in the prime spot.” The tenderness of that image might belie what Vogt describes as Stoecklein’s highly competitive nature. “He wanted to catch the biggest or most fish, shoot the biggest deer, kill the biggest elk, be the best roper,” Vogt says. “That competitive nature is probably what made him so talented as a photographer.” But if he was fiercely competitive, he was also eager to share his expertise and taught workshops all across the West. Sons Taylor and Drew, both photographers in their own rights, plan to continue offering photography workshops. And they’ll advance their dad’s goal of doing more than simply capturing the West. “It is my goal to document the West for generations to come,” David Stoecklein once said. “Maybe, just maybe, my photography can help slow down the destruction of this magnificent place. My hope is that folks who don’t understand the Western lifestyle will come to respect it, embrace it, and help preserve it.” Read more tributes and see more images at www.cowboysindians.com.
