“Nisam se zaljubio u jednu verziju tebe, Elle. Zaljubio sam se u svaku tebe.”
Elle je 27-godišnja scenaristica koja već mjesecima proživljava kreativnu blokadu. Kada joj se pruži prilika napisati scenarij za visokobudžetni film smješten u New Yorku, vraća se u grad iz kojeg je nekoć pobjegla. Sljedećih nekoliko mjeseci provest će u luksuznom stanu s pogledom koji oduzima dah – i to u više smjerova…
Prvi susjed joj je Parker Warren – zgodni milijarder i tehnološki mogul kojeg je upoznala prije dvije godine i kojeg od tada bezuspješno pokušava zaboraviti. Ubrzo Elle pristaje na njegov prijedlog lažne veze koja će završiti zajedno sa ljetom…
“Šteta je što ljeta uvijek imaju kraj.
Možda bi ovo moglo biti beskrajno, kaže Parker.
Ništa u životu nije beskrajno.
Ljubav jest, Elle.”
Ako ovoga ljeta tražite laganu ljubavnu priču, Elle i Parker su savršen izbor. U jednom od najljepših ljubavnih izdanja na našem tržištu nećete pronaći nikad viđenu ljubavnu priču, ali pronaći ćete sate opuštanja, zabave, romantičnog sanjarenja i zaljubljenog smijuljenja. Pronaći ćete ljubavnu bajku sa besramno savršenim i besramno bogatim muškim likom, sa sretnim krajem, ali i s puno prepreka na putu, uglavnom zbog loše komunikacije. Opisi New Yorka toliko su živopisni da ćete zaboraviti da sjedite u svojoj sobici negdje u Hrvatskoj.
I da – vruće scene su zaista vruće. On je zaista sramotno bogat. On padne prvi. Ona je ta koja komplicira sve, pa čak i kada pomislite da je kraj i da će sada konačno biti sretni. I koliko god me to povremeno frustriralo, toliko sam i uživala u muškom liku koji je apsolutno savršen – bogovski zgodan, drag, zanimljiv, pažljiv, dobar i strpljiv (pogotovo strpljiv) i čije su vrline upravo zbog Elle i došle do izražaja.
“Samo želim provoditi vrijeme s tobom. Sve drugo nije važno.”
Definitivno preporuka za ljetnu priču koju ne smijete preskočiti!
Puno hvala izdavaču na poslanom primjerku!

“I didn’t fall in love with a version of you, Elle,” he says. “I fell in love with every you.”
Summer in the City – Alex Aster
Elle is a 27-year-old screenwriter who has been experiencing creative block for months. When she is offered the opportunity to write a script for a big-budget film set in New York, she returns to the city she once fled. She will spend the next few months in a luxurious apartment with breathtaking views – and in more than one direction…
Her first neighbour is Parker Warren – a handsome billionaire and technology mogul whom she met two years ago and whom she has been trying to forget ever since. Soon Elle agrees to his proposal of a fake relationship that will end with the summer…
If you are looking for a cute love story this summer, Elle and Parker are the perfect choice. In one of the most beautiful love editions on Croatian market, you will not find a never-before-seen love story, but you will find hours of relaxation, fun, romantic daydreaming and giggles. You will find a love fairy tale with an unashamedly perfect and unashamedly rich male character, with a happy ending, but also with many obstacles along the way, mainly due to poor communication. The descriptions of New York are so vivid that you’ll forget you’re sitting in your little room somewhere in Croatia or wherever you get to be reading this.
And yes – the spicy scenes are really spicy. He’s really shamelessly rich. He falls first. She’s the one who complicates everything, even when you think it’s over and they’ll finally be happy. And as much as it frustrated me at times, I also enjoyed the male character who is absolutely perfect – divinely handsome, sweet, interesting, attentive, kind and patient (especially patient) and whose virtues came to the fore precisely because of Ella.
“I bought the coffee shop because you love it. I bought it so that you can have your favorite scone, with your favorite latte, at your favorite table, every morning.” He leans forward. “I bought it because it makes you happy, and that, to me, Elle, is priceless.”
Definitely a recommendation for a summer story that you shouldn’t skip!
