Confessions - La série

Les relations, c'est compliqué. L'amour, en perpétuelle évolution. Et lorsqu'on en vient aux règles qui régissent le cœur, celles-ci sont faites pour être brisées... Du moins, c'est ce que Robert Antonio Bianchi se dit. Sinon, il n'a vraiment aucune excuse pour ce que, ce qu'il, est devenu. Aucune excuse, hormis son cœur solitaire, un pichet de margarita, quatre Bitter Bitches, et le besoin apparent de confesser toutes ses faiblesses aux deux hommes dont il sait qu'ils ne lui apporteront rien d'autre que des ennuis. Mais les ennuis, ça n'a rien de nouveau. Demandez simplement à ses folles de soeurs, ou à n'importe lequel de ses amis, et ils seront les premiers à vous le dire : s'il y a une mauvaise décision, Robbie a toujours un talent particulier pour la prendre. Et c'est ainsi que commence l'histoire du prêtre, de la princesse et du prick. Traduction par BdP

Traduction amateur : Les gens sont complexes. Aimer, c'est une épée à double tranchant. Et quand il s'agit d'un cœur brisé, il n'y a pas de règles, seulement du temps… Julien Thornton vit depuis huit ans dans le secret. Un que peu de gens connaissent. Pour le monde extérieur, il a tout. Une carrière florissante. Un mari aimant. Et un visage qui a fait chavirer le public américain, lors d’une émission de téléréalité qui lui a sauvé la vie par inadvertance. Mais derrière l'éclat de la célébrité, derrière la nature décontractée, une vérité invalidante emplit Julien de douleur et de haine de soi. C’est une vérité qu’il se bat tous les jours avec l’aide de son mari, Joel Priestley, et maintenant de leur petit ami, Robbie Bianchi. Mais contrairement à Priest, Robbie ne sait pas ce qu’il aide Julien à se battre. Il ne sait pas ce que Julien a fait toutes ces années. Et avec l’anniversaire de la mort de sa soeur qui s'approche à grands pas, le temps des explications s’épuise. Et donc la question: la princesse sera-t-elle capable de pardonner la piqûre comme le prêtre l'a déjà fait? Seul le temps nous le dira.

Je suis complexe. Mon amour est universel. Et quand il s'agit de mon cœur, il n'y a qu'une seule règle: Ne baise pas avec ce qui est à moi. Jusqu'à l'âge de huit ans, j'étais Joel Alexander Donovan, fils de Jimmy. J'ai idolâtré mon père et adoré le terrain même sur lequel il marchait. Jusqu'au jour où j'ai réalisé que le sol était rouge de sang. À dix-huit ans, je suis devenu prêtre. Un homme sans passé. Un homme déterminé à réparer les torts de mon père. Un homme qui n'a jamais cru personne pouvait aimer le fils d'un tel monstre. Mais un voleur a volé mon cœur. Un amoureux a illuminé mon monde. Et j'ai oublié un instant que vous ne devriez jamais tourner le dos à votre ennemi. Et commence ainsi une leçon pour ceux qui chercheraient à nuire: ne sous-estimez jamais ce que le prêtre fera pour protéger la princesse et la piqûre.

Everyone said our love wouldn’t work. That it was too hard, too complicated, too messy. Oh how I enjoy proving everyone wrong. My men are smart, sexy, sophisticated— and most of all, crazy about me. The only problem is trying to explain that to my big, opinionated Italian family. But after all we’ve been through, we deserve a happily ever after. And if there’s one thing I know about my guys, they always manage to have a few surprises up their sleeves.

Good and bad. Right and wrong. Life would be easy if things were always that simple. That’s never been the case for Henri Boudreaux. Son of a criminal. Ex-boyfriend to a Priest.

And Officer Craig Bailey is about to find out just how bad he can be.

He’s exactly the kind of man Bailey knows could break his heart. But there’s a vulnerability to Henri that calls to Bailey. A longing for a connection that Bailey is unable to resist. And while Bailey has always lived his life on the straight and narrow, he is now beginning to understand that falling in love is never so black and white.

Rebellion is necessary for development of character. ~ Cynthia Voight Impatient. Impulsive. Rebellious. Zayne Copeland’s been getting in trouble for as long as he can remember. But if trouble goes by the name Ethan Holt, he’s quite okay with that. Why wouldn’t he be, when Ethan has been the one to show him what love is? From boys to men. From school to The Office. He and Ethan have always been inseparable. They’re possessive of one another, protective to a fault. They had to be to survive. But as they fall deeper for Chloé, the woman they’ve claimed as their own, they realize they have to open up their lives in order to hang on to her. Three fathers. An overprotective brother. Their relationship becoming public. It would be enough to send two weaker men running. Lucky for Chloé, Ethan and Zayne have never been the type to back down from a challenge. Confessions: Zayne is the continuation of Chloé, Ethan & Zayne’s story and should only be read after Confessions: Ethan.

« Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead. » ~ Lucille Ball Stubborn. Sassy. Wild. Chloé Thornton-Priestley has lived a life most dream of. One that was nurtured with love, acceptance, and trust. Raised by three wonderful men, she is free-spirited and has never let society’s conventions tame her. Why would she, when she’s seen what beauty can come from an unconventional love? Life is good. She has her family. Her dream job. Her future is going exactly as planned. The last thing she is looking for is more men in her life. Her fathers and brother are enough. So no one is more surprised than Chloé to find out she has fallen in love with not one, but two of them. Ethan Holt and Zayne Copeland are exactly what she wasn’t looking for. Sexy, possessive, and protective, these two doms make her want to kneel and submit—something she never would’ve dreamed of in the past. But one look at the two of them and Chloé knew she was in trouble, and she hasn’t looked away since. Life has a funny way of knowing exactly what you need—or in Chloé’s case, whom—and now that she’s found them, she plans to never let them go. Confessions: Chloé is the conclusion of Chloé, Ethan & Zayne’s story and should only be read after Confessions: Ethan & Confessions: Zayne.
