Synopsis: I’m used to going for the easy things in life.
The easy A in school.
The easy lay in bed. The easy life my trust fund affords me.
Until I met Shelby.
Never in my life have I found retro T-shirts and ChapStick so damn sexy.
She’s exactly what I never knew I wanted.
And she’s *anything* but easy.
But suddenly, easy is overrated.
Only one damn problem… For Shelby, *hating me* is easy.
For the first time in my life, I have to work for something. And though
she may not be easy…she’ll be worth it.
Review
So when I first read the blurb
for Blind Spot I was super
excited. Then I saw the cover and I got
even more excited. My excitement didn’t
last past the first few chapters. It’s
well written, has a good story line, decent drama and steamy sex scenes. But I felt something was missing. And what it was, for me, was a connection to
the characters.
I had high hopes that I would be
able connect instantly with Shelby. With
the blurb’s references to retro t-shirts and lip balm, I thought she was going
to be a heroine after my own heart. And
in some ways she was, she was sweet and sassy.
And slightly on the nerdy side but I didn’t have as strong as a
connection as I was hoping for. Tate
started out as douche bag of epic proportions and I was surprised by the amount
of character growth that Collins was able to work within the story line for
him. He had a softer side to him that he
showed at times that helped me connect with him a little more than I did
Shelby.
In the end, I’m on the fence with
this one. It was enjoyable but I wasn’t
jumping for joy over it. Parts of it
were fantastic, other parts were just meh.
I’m disappointed that I didn’t love it as much as I was hoping but I
know that for others they loved it. So
I’m chalking this up to reader preference. -Peace and Love, Buxom J
Excerpt
Pinching my chin, he
matched my stare, and for all of a second, we did nothing but look at each
other. Hold each other. His eyes were savagely hot, and the way he searched my
face and brushed his thumb over my swollen, wet bottom lip was achingly tender,
like I was something to be cherished.
Gently, he freed my hair
from my ponytail, brushing his fingers through the strands. His eyes explored
my face, and he traced the muscles up and down my back. “You are so beautiful,”
he murmured, more to himself than to me.
My breath expanded in my
lungs, my muscles clenching with his declaration. For the first time with
anyone, I honestly believed him when he said it. It wasn’t a way of getting in
my pants, or some phrase he was repeating from a movie. But even more
important? The way Tate looked at me, I felt beautiful.
