When a crippled young lord rescues a girl falling from a tree, it reveals a secret about himself and his mother's side of the family that could put him at the center of a war with beings he thought only existed in fairy tales. Tristan Gareth Smyth lived his entire life stuck at home at Waverly Park, left behind while his Grandfather makes trips to London, all because of his blasted wheelchair. Then an American heiress falls in his lap, literally, and he must find a way to keep her at a distance to protect not only his secret, but everyone around him from an assassin sent to kill him.

Aunque tiene pocas páginas y es más un relato extenso, dicho libro se divide en varias edades de nuestro protagonista Tristán Gareth Smyth un chico que está en silla de ruedas y pertenece a una familia bastante pudiente.
El tiene un sueño, me acuerdo que la descripción que hicieron las autoras en la primera página me llamo la atención como Melissa y Pauline de manera poética describen los sentimientos del muchacho "Sus ojos fijos en el árbol, y él tenía agitado su corazón de nuevo.El recuerdo , tal vez un sueño.Siempre tuvo esa sensación cuando levantó la vista hacia las grandes ramas de este roble en particular..." Con esta simple frase te das cuenta de que el es un soñador pero está frustrado y eso se puede ver en el carácter que tiene con todo el mundo y todo esto con una edad temprana.
Tabitha es su único amiga, es su hermana y se nota que ambos sienten adoración el uno por el otro.
Jessamine llega a la vida de nuestro protagonista como un soplo de aire fresco a la trama y de alguna manera se mantiene junto a él a lo largo y ancho de las páginas, ella va a ser un apoyo importante sobre todo cuando las autoras introducen varios giros y revelaciones.
No se nota cuando escribe Melissa y cuando Pauline, las dos se compenetran a la perfección creando una historia sencilla pero bonita llena de descripciones y de diálogos bastante poéticos.
Quiero hacer incapie en que los personajes secundarios como es el caso de Sarah que me dejo con ganas de conocerla más a fondo, que tenga su propia historia.
Magía Fae,amor,esperanza,secretos...todo tiene cabida en "Armored Hearts".
