Blind Spot by Katana Collins – a Review
Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / BAM / The Book Depository
Description:
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 lip balm 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:
The Blind Spot by Katana Collins is a New Adult romance. Shelby Stevens is a senior in college and for the first time in a long time things are changing for her. She is moving out of the dorms and being a resident advisor and into her own apartment. At twenty one years old her entire life fit into only sixteen boxes. But she had saved for years working several jobs and was moving into a modern, upscale, safe apartment complex complete with a doorman. With her friends (Reagan and Harrison) there to help, she embarks on moving day. When she reaches her new apartment building she is greeted by the drop dead gorgeous doorman. After a brief exchange she realizes she may like this new place more than she anticipated.
Once moved in, her and her friends decide to order a pizza and study for French. But her upstairs, penthouse partying neighbor had other ideas. After tolerating all she can, she decides to call the cops and head upstairs to confront her noisy neighbor. On the elevator ride upstairs she finds out her new neighbor’s name is Tate. And when she tells a white lie to get herself and friends into the party she can’t wait to find this “Tate” and give him a piece of her mind. But things don’t work out that way.
Upon meeting Tate she comes to find out that he isn’t actually the apartment building doorman but some spoiled rich kid out to have a good time. She can’t deny the fact that he is handsome beyond anything and when she finds out he is fluent in French – the one subject she is having some struggles in. She relents and accepts his offer to help her with her studies. But will she be able to control herself around him and deny what her heart wants? Will Tate be able to put his partying ways behind him and find happiness with Shelby?
Shelby is down to earth, with a very hard past to live down. She has been hurt and traumatized and simply afraid to open herself up to anyone. But she is strong. She will hold her own when all else fails. She was wonderful to read and even better to watch evolve.
Tate Michaelson is a typical rich college student. Being the Governor’s son, he has had life handed to him. At first I thought I was going to completely dislike Tate but he was real and emotional and a true gentleman underneath the outward layers. I came to root for him and hope that Shelby would open up just enough to let him in. As their story evolves you find that sometimes the rich kids have feelings too, and sometimes those running from love are looking for exactly that!
I am hoping this story continues – I would love for Harrison to have his own story! The possibilities of where this story can go are endless, and I look forward to following along.
