General Travis Bains has two daughters, one who is good, and one who is bad. Everyone knows Lindsey is the good one, and Jessie is the bad one. Jessie Bains is the other sister, the bad sister, which she has proven more often than not, until the day she gets kidnapped and brutally raped. Will Hendricks, one of her father's soldiers, rescues her and brings her home, but fears she may be nearly destroyed by what is done to her. The most important thing, however, is that no one can know, per the general's orders. Jessie's life was always far from normal as the daughter of one of the most revered generals in the world. No one sees what the general does to Jessie, except Will. When Will discovers the danger Jessie is living in at her father's hand, he once again rescues her. Will has survived the horrors of war, but is now engaged in a battle that has become far more personal and far more deadly. Will alone realizes what the general has done and will do to destroy his "other" daughter.… (altro)

There is always 2 sides to every story and there's always more than meets the eye when it comes to someone's appearance and actions. Very interesting read! Kept me excited to read the next page! ( )

I was not expecting such a gut wrenching experience. I love a book that pulls you in, makes you laugh, makes you cry, that makes you want to murder someone evil.... not much laughter but well worth reading.

The h is very damaged and the H is well ...he is a hero ... he is wonderful... and you will want them to find their HEA .... you won't be disappointed. ( )

Words cannot describe all the emotions I went through reading this book. It’s very rare for a book to bring me to tears but the story of Jessie Bains is so heartbreaking and shocking in the atrocities that were done to her. She was violated in almost every way imaginable.

I think you get what the books about from the books description and telling more than that would spoil the experience of reading this gut-wrenching emotional rollercoaster. But this book isn’t typical as far as a romance books go. This book is about a 20 year old who has had to suffer more than most do their whole lives. All that pain has turned her into a broken person that abuses her body in so many ways to deal.

The author takes us on the journey of the healing of Jessie but not before taking us with her to her rock bottom which was an extremely hard scene to get through but yet written so realistically.

There is an unconventional love story during the course of this book that takes place over years. I totally respect how the author didn’t make it a quick romance. After what Jessie had been through there is no way that would have been conceivable or even believable.

Its always a pleasant surprise when I come across a book like this, one that touches you so deeply your left thinking about even afterwards.

Retomado y terminado: 2.5

Hay libros peores. La parte final no fue mala. Me terminó por convencer la pareja.

Igual, sigo sosteniendo lo dicho en la primera reseña ;

reseña original: 2014 (?)

Leí este libro hace bastante y no volví a pensar en la desagradable historia hasta que retomé la serie hace unos meses (y la última entrega hace unos días).

Tenía potencial para ser un romance, al menos, original. Si siguen el género New Adult, sabrán que las tendencias a acatar son las de siempre: las minas son todas malas putas y envidiosas, los hombres son todos mujeriegos/machistas/tontos, todos tienen un pasado trágico y los únicos que merecen amor son quienes se abstienen y esperan al verdadero amor/o se arrepienten del pasado (sea trágico o no). Y lo que atrapa the "The Other Sister" es que los roles están cambiados (en un principio) porque la gran protagonista es una esque-Linsday Lohan/Paris Hilton/y todas las "famosas" envueltas en un solo personaje, esta hija de millonarios y de familia de soldados que lleva una vida "promiscua" y "vergonzosa" (esto según las palabras de los demás personajes), y no deja de "querer llamar la atención constantemente".

Hubiera sido maravilloso; genial, a pesar del trasfondo militar (odio los contextos de milicos, y sobre todo las boludeces de patriotismo y guerra que suelen tener los yanquis). Al menos hubiese sido pasable, más que la mayoría de los demás "newadultes" de no ser por la manera en que constantemente humillaban y denigraban a la Lindsay Lohan en cuestión. ¡Hasta el propio muchachito no paraba de hacer énfasis en lo "asquerosa" que era! Hablaban de ella como si no fuera un ser humano, la tiraban de acá para allá como si fuese un animal-no, peor de que si se tratase de un animal, porque seguro hasta al perro más enfermo o moribundo le hubiesen tenido más respeto. Por favor, ¡Es un ser humano!! (Adentro de la ficción, claro, :P) Entiendo que todos los personajes son unos soldados "castos y estrictos" y toda la bola, y el honor, y la seriedad, y toda la cucharazca que se crean que son, pero , en serio: Como mínimo un permítanle un poco de dignidad! Señora autora, a usted le digo (ja).

Lamentablemente, esta es una de esas novelas en donde la "activa vida sexual" de su protagonista es una "consencuencia" de su pasado trágico. De ese estilo en donde se cree que una mujer no pueda ser "una atorranta" a menos que tenga una "razón" (me zarpo con las comillas, pero es para usar palabras comunes del vocabulario misógino), como si no pudiese disfrutar de su sexualidad simplemente siguiendo sus necesidades íntimas, sino pura y exclusivamente porque tiene un trauma que la obliga a tener sexo. Como si no fuera natural que las mujeres quieran cog***, o sea, tiene que existir algo triste y anormal en sus vidas que las lleve vivir esa vida de "pecado" ( WHAT???) Es una creencia (?) muy común pero, en la vida real, sabemos que las mujeres ... no se horroricen... tienen sexo!!! porque quieren!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOO!! EL mundo se va acabar! Dónde quedaron los valores???

*respiro y aliso mi alborotado plumaje* (pero sin adoptar aires virginales , como diría Rhett Butler).

La protagonista sólo alcanza un determinado nivel de humanidad (en los ojos de la autora, obviamente, pues es quien decide el punto de vista) cuando deja de tener relaciones, tomar, drogarse, o lo que fuere. Y entiendo que la "excusa" que da a su comportamiento "fatal" es esa vida de mierda con su padre y etc etc etc , todas las desgracias que vivió, pero , incluso teniendo en cuenta eso ... durante más del 80% de la novela se la trata como un cacho de carne podrida, ¡hasta desde su propio punto de vista!. Lamentable. El lenguaje utilizado cuando se la menciona (sea a través de descripciones o diálogos de otros personajes) está específicamente intencionado a que nosotros, los lectores, sintamos asco.

EN fin, no pensaba hacer nunca esta reseña pero, como dije antes, leí los libros que le siguen y son , sorprendentemente, MUY buenos. Aparentemente la autora recibió buenas indicaciones.

Este, sin embargo, es una decpeción. ( )
