Kylie Scott turns what could have been a daggy, over-the-top premise into a whirlwind start to a romance that is at turns sweet, erotic and fun. Unlike Ev, David remembers their wedding clearly, and is obviously hurt and pissed off that she was a lot more inebriated than he had thought. So she does what any twenty-one-year old with a tequila hangover does-she pukes and then she contemplates divorce while brushing her teeth. It turns out that Ev’s new husband, David, is the lead guitar for the hugely successful band Stage Dive. This book has been re-released with a new cover by Macmillan Australia.Įv wakes up after a big night in Vegas with a sexy blond stranger, a tattoo on her bum, a five-carat diamond ring on the wrong finger, and zero recall of what happened. Highly recommended.All the feels of an intense romance without sacrificing the heroine’s personality.Īn advance reading copy of this book was generously provided by Momentum Books via NetGalley. I loved Trust and read it at one sitting. It’s ‘New Adult’ fiction which means there’s swearing and sex scenes, but they’re really well done and never gratuitous. This book is filled with friendship and anger and revenge. I think it takes a skilled writer to make every character in a book feel real but they do in Trust. The secondary characters were also well-written.
I loved the way Edie and John evolved, how they got to know each other and the realistic way in which they looked out for each other after what they’d been through. Kylie Scott totally understands young people but more than that she understands relationships and angst and how people try to work through the crap in their lives. The main characters, Edie and John, are so real and you really want them to figure out how to get past their nightmare experience. This is a brilliantly told story of two older teens whose lives are changed forever by a horrific experience. It was so convincing that it pulled me in and by the end of chapter three I was dying to know how this was going to turn out. The first chapter was startling – not at all what I’d expected and totally visceral and traumatic. I’d heard that Trust was different from her other books, so I was keen to see what she’d written this time.
Kylie’s got a great style and she knows how to grab your interest and hold it to the last page. Lick was the first book in the Stage Dive series and I totally recommend all four books: Lick, Play, Lead, Deep. One of those books that grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go. I can still remember my first Kylie Scott book, it was Lick and it was brilliant.
