Blessed Tragedy and Blessed Fate!!

Colton Bradford never believed in love at first sight. And then, Rain Maxwell walked through his buddy's front door. He knew there was something special underneath the shy, guarded exterior and was determined to find out what it was.

The problem? Rain had devised her own set of life rules and “Never get involved with a band mate” was right near the top of that list. She allowed Colton into her heart as one of her closest friends, but pushed him away at the mention of anything more.

When tragedy strikes Rain's personal life, Colton is determined to be there for her in whatever way she'll allow. Will she finally open up to him and consider taking things to the next level? Will Colton's ways of trying to bury his feelings for Rain in the past ruin the possibility of a future for them?

REVIEW

I really did enjoy this story. I loved getting to know the band members, they were all likable, even Jon who was a little bossy at times. Although there wasn't much character development throughout the story, I still connected with Rain, feeling her pain and devastation, as well as Colton's anguish and hopelessness.

Colt was an absolute sweetheart. He was deeply in love with Rain, a little obsessive at times, but he was a genuinely good guy. Although he made his fair share of mistakes, err Tanya, I couldn't help falling for him. It was wonderful to see a guy so devoted to his girl. He'd do just about anything for her, and when he messed up it killed him to have to see the pain he caused her. He also wasn't afraid to apologize!!

I'd love to get my hands on book one, as I'd really like to read this story from Rain's POV. She was a little high-strung and went off on a tangent, so it would be interesting to see exactly what she was thinking or feeling at certain times.

There were a few sleazeball characters in this book. Tanya, yes, Colt's mistake! That woman deserved so much more than the tongue lashing she got. She was despicable. Then there was Garrett. I know Maddie could vouch for him, but I just had a very uneasy feeling whenever he appeared. I'm still convinced his motives were not entirely pure, even after he and Colt had their one-on-one.

Overall this was a quick, fun read. The serious and sad moments made the characters more real and believable, and gave the story a great emotional twist.

I give it...
