Resumen
Hi! I am Scarlet. A girl searching for a new beginning after losing two people that I love. Moving to another place and running away from my past that haunted me was the only solution I could think of to survive.
However, fate had another plan arranged for me. My life turned more complicated when I met them, Daniel and Nathan. I was not supposed to fall for him, but I did. There was no turning my back on love.
Daniel and Nathan were total opposites. Although they were both successful in their own rights, they still possessed different characteristics that made them attractive in their own way.
Daniel was the ideal man to love because of his similarity to my brother, Harry. Smart, down to earth, and with a gentle heart. While Nathan was the man to avoid, I could not entrust my heart to him despite the strong attraction we shared. A rich, manipulative and arrogant womanizer.
Which one should I choose? Would entering a relationship help me move on from my past? Would our love be stronger than the obstacles in our path?
Should I dare hope that I would have a happy ever after?
Please give Scarlet a chance. Let her tell you her story. Add her to your reading list.
Enjoy.
But, what if… something in her past was the key to her future.
--------------
"I told you before, I'm now with Daniel," I uttered with conviction, trying to convince him.
"I told you that you're making a mistake of stringing Daniel along," he insisted. “It is clear that Daniel is falling for you, but I know you don’t feel the same. He is a good man, and what you’re doing with Daniel would only end badly."
"Nathan, let me go," I said angrily, not wanting to be near him. "I don't know what you’re talking about, and you had no business with my affair with Daniel," I emphasized irritably.
He released my left hand and gripped my jaw instead, forcing my head up. I tried to push him with my free hand but to no avail. "I'm talking about this." He lowered his head and claimed my lips in a punishing kiss.
My mind was fighting not to respond with the onslaught of his mouth, but my body wanted the opposite. He pressed his body even closer than I ever thought possible, molding every inch of my body with his.
I felt myself opening up to him, and he took advantage of this and plunged his tongue with mine. I became super aware of every contact of our skin. He adjusted his hands at the back of my nape and the other at my lower back, giving him more control of my body as his kisses became more demanding.
My hands started having a mind of their own and began their exploration. I could feel the solid muscles in his arms and shoulders. My hand ended up in the back of his neck, clinging to him for support, as his hands started exploring my back.
He slowly broke the kiss, both of us panting, trying to catch our breaths. I never felt like this before, this intense need to be kissed, to be touch. It exhilarated and frightened me at the same time. Why did I react like this to this man? I barely knew him, and I was not even sure if I like him.
"I want you and you want me too.” He stated confidently taking my lips again for a rough kiss, and I welcomed it with a hunger I could not deny. I placed my hands on the back of his neck and pulled him closer. "The way you kissed and responded to my touch tells me how much you wanted this too."
Finally, he released me and moved a step back. "That just proven my point. How can you go out with Daniel and just made out with me with such passion? Did you respond to his kiss the way you did to mine?"

Escribe una reseñaFirst of all, I love that you have so many chapters up already! I can read binge it! As for the story: I really like the romantic vibes without it being too cliché. The romance felt very realistic and it makes the struggles the FL goes through, understandable to readers. Here is my tip: Try to proofread. Sometimes I noticed some mistakes with the past tense and sometimes with the spelling. If you proofread, you can easily detect it. Overall, a very good story, loved how everything fits together. I added it to my library! Keep up the good work!

I think that your story is very intriguing. The first chapter kept me wanting to read it, and I found myself deep into the world. It also made me very anxious as well. You did an amazing job at describing the fire, and the scenery overall. Keep it up! I look forward to more chapters. I didn't check for grammar, but I do always recommend checking it. This is for all writers that I have reviewed so far. Good job, and happy writing. :)
The is well written and the kind of novel that keeps you going and guessing. It is like a puzzle and that you have been playing the part as mystery solver. Good job!!
the story has a mix of strong emotions and mystery, scarlet who had already faced enough and now trying to start a new jouney. you can easily relate with her daily struggles. and want to join her to know more.
a simple story, with a lot of mystery covering itself in a veil of shadows, many thing are hidden yet i could relate to the story. as i we could find scarlet, daniel, and nathan among us
the story is a page turner, the characters are vivid to imagine and they will force you to read more, to know what would happen to them. good work author
I felt in love with the girl, the moment i read about her, you have well explained her and her surroundings. just a bit of more description about the world background, that let us imagine the place she is would make the story perfect
The story is moving with a smooth pace, and the flow is well maintained. Words are beautifully used to express the emotions of FL. Waiting to know more about her.
i like how you have painted scarlet, she is not a typical fl with all the power in her hands, but a human with broken emotions, who is trying to mend, i like the way her emotions are expressed. good work author
I love the story line. It is very intriguing and obviously fascinating. You have a good flow to the story and the character development is quite well done. I haven't read the whole thing, but as I will go along, I'll add my feedback on the comments. Overall, the story is great! One small suggestion for the chapters I've read so far is that you should expand more on the protagonist's emotions. I just think it helps the readers develop a better connection with the protagonist.
This story has an interesting and cohesive plot, which definitely makes it worth checking out. Though there are occasional grammatical mistakes, they don't detract much from the story. The characters all have their own unique personalities and are interesting to follow. However, I must say I'm not too fond of who I think is the male lead. Keep up the good work author!!
the character design and world background were really amazing! I was pulled along her journey, and the descriptive nature of the story's romance was truly wonderful. a few grammatical errors, but all in all good job!
This was a well thought out story primarily in its execution. It does feel like a drama to a TV series featuring concepts such as this novel. I myself don't read romances in general but big props to the author for making a protagonist that is handled well, in addition to characters such as Nathan and Daniel. The story starts off fair well Scarlet meeting Nathan early, before getting into a love triangle situation which a lot of people may be familiar with. However, the author pulls it off well, and it does feel very different from what is normally seen on TV or movies. The biggest positive in all of this, truth be told, is that this is not a romance that trys hard to be appealing with its lead characters (like on some certain movies). Every character here does feel like an actual human being. You're on the right track author, so keep it up.
Revelar spoilerAs I started reading the first chapter I thought this would be a normal romantic story but My God! The way the story suddenly switched gears was simply amazing. I was in no way expecting a time skip but I guess when the most unexpected thing happens that's what makes the story more intriguing, The description has also been done really. Lastly, I really want to say that the ending of chapter 2 is sizzling. Looking forward to read more.
Just read some chapters and I like this book already. i like how some of Scarlet's past is actually relatable to reality. Can't wait for the next update. keep it up!!!
