Tangled Little Truths - Lake State University Series #7 - by Rachael Brownell (Colt and Scarlett )

 

" 5 fantastic stars! These 2 have instant chemistry and I’m totally here for it. The pull towards each other is undeniable. This book will have you swooning from the very first pages." Angie, NOLA504Nerds

I kissed her and she ran.

She was the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen and the way she was looking at me that night, the electric charge between us, had my jeans feeling snug the entire show. When I found her standing alone between sets, I couldn’t help but approach her.

It wasn’t my intention to kiss her. I should have gotten to know her first. Asked her more than her name. But after watching her while I sang my heart out, I wasn’t thinking straight.

That was more than three years ago. When we were both naïve freshmen.

I’ve been watching her ever since. From afar. Like a crazy stalker. (Not my proudest admission.)

She’s even more beautiful than the first time I laid eyes on her. So when I walk into the rec center and find her waiting for me, alone, with lust in her eyes, I pounce. Again. Like an idiot.

Only this time, I don’t feel an ounce of regret because I don’t plan on letting her run away from me again. She’s been my inspiration for years and it’s about damn time she figured it out.

There’s only one way I can do that… I need to sing her the song I wrote about that night.

About her.

I could try to slowly weasel my way into her heart the way she has mine over the years, but I’m sick of wasting time. I want her to be mine today.

Tomorrow.

Forever.

Because the truth is… I’ve been hers since that very first night.

Rachael Brownell is an International Bestselling author of new adult romance.

She lives in Michigan with her husband, son, snuggly dog, and hateful cat. She moonlights a few days a week (her excuse to get out of the house and socialize) and writes almost full time. Her first book was published way back in 2013 and since she’s released more than 30 additional titles.

When she’s not writing her next novel, you can find her hanging out with her family, watching her son play baseball, or running on the treadmill at the gym (though she skips more days than she goes). She also enjoys golfing but is still learning, so if you see her on the course… stand back.

HOSTED BY:

This was a fun second chance at romance between Colt, who is a musician and has his own band and Scarlett, who at the beginning of the story has a boyfriend though it's very close to being over. 

These two kissed freshman year and Colt really was into her, but he disappeared, and she disappeared and it was never followed up on and then she found a boyfriend and he seemed very playboy like. But Colt three years later is still majorly into her and so when they end up planning an event for their friends, they start revisiting their past and end up being friends and maybe more.

Colt is this really awesome guy, three years later. Not just in relation to his feelings for Scarlett but also in relation to his band and how fair he is to them when record producers start talking with him. 

I also felt that these two had lots of feelings about each other but as freshmen they were not ready for each other but three years later their timing was just right. This was very much a coming-of-age story, and I really liked the two main characters.

This is a standalone book in the series but honestly, I would recommend if you are a new reader to this series you begin with the first book. While each book features a different couple, and it can stand alone. Each book also gives you a little more about Max and his very secret relationship and who it's with. It's kind of like a mystery whodunit and so I really recommend you start reading this series with the first book. 

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.
