She's on the run from a horrible past. He's got an offer of a lifetime. Ronin Rook Walsh appeared out of nowhere like a dark angel sent to steal my soul. And I could just tell that she was broken, and beaten, and scared. So I made her an offer of a lifetime. She needed a job, and I needed a certain "type" of girl for a modeling contract worth millions of dollars called Tragic. I was warned to keep my hands to myself. I was warned not to get involved. I was warned not to ruin her. (The way I ruined the last one.) But I don't take orders - I give them. Rook Ronin Flynn appeared out of nowhere like a bright light in my heavy darkness. And when he offered me a job, and money, and a fantasy rooftop apartment, I wanted to believe that he was good, and fair, and honest. But I'd been tricked by a pretty face before. I'd fallen for the knight once - and lost everything. This was my chance to start over. This was my chance to escape and be free. And this was my chance to do it all by myself. I don't need a knight. I don't want to be saved. But sometimes you find yourself trapped inside the fairy tale and no matter how hard you try, nothing you do can stop the train wreck coming. Tragic is book one of the Rook and Ronin series and features a runaway girl who falls into a million-dollar dream of cherry trees and rooftop swings. A bad boy with a sketchy history of breaking pretty girls. And a job called Tragic that might ruin everything.… (more)

I loved this book. The setting is one I've never read before. The characters are perfect mixes, not too bad and not too good. It kept my attention the entire time. I'm really looking forward to starting the next one. I don't know why I waited so long to read this series. ( )

This book was absolutely adorable the only problem is it never really peaked to a point that I wanted to jump out of my seat. It took me longer to read it then normal because I could not get into it.
It is about Rook a woman who has faced the turmoil of life and come back she ends up with a modeling job when she is at her lowest and meets Ronin who begins to help her with her TRAGIC life. I just wish there was more leading up to the peak. I will definitely read book 2 so that I can see more about Rook and Ronin and hopefully it will reach a peak that will keep me out of my seat.

TERRIBLE.

Estaba malo desde el comienzo, pero intente seguir... obviamente no llegue muy lejos. Llegue al 12% y simplemente no pude seguir leyendo. Lo siento, pero me perdieron en el instante en el que comenzaron a hablar de los ojos.

Rook describiendo a Ronin:
"Sus ojos son de un color azul eléctrico y me recuerdan a los míos. Nunca había visto a nadie que tuviera ojos tan azules como los míos- no estoy presumiendo ni nada, es solo algo con lo que nací, algo que me hace destacar"




Ronin describiendo a Rook:
"Es alta, delgada, cabello negro,ojos azules-como los mios. Añado. Porque mis ojos parecen como si alguien se hubiese dejado llevar con los efectos especiales en una pelicula de ciencia ficción".


Y ya que ambos tienen ojos tan "únicos" uno creería que realmente son unicos, pero tan solo unas paginas después Rook nos describe a Antoine y adivinen...

"Su cabello es oscuro y sus ojos son azules, como los mios, como los de ese tal Ronin."



¡¿Cuál es el empeño de los autores con los ojos?! ¿Por qué tienen que dedicarles párrafos enteros?

No, no, no y simplemente NO. ( )
