4 - 4.5 starsAndi & Cohen meet at frat party which both have been dragged to by friends but a spilt drink leads to an easy going conversation about music. Both realise there is a spark there and neither is in a hurry for the night to end and this leads to more firsts.It was interesting to see Cohen's pov in their first encounters as he was not at all confident as he tried to build something with Andi which unfortunately does not come about.Years later when Andi needs a tutor, she gets the best...Cohen. There begins a second chance romance. I was a little frustrated about this book due to the mis-communication between Andi & Cohen. UGH! Those Wellington boys... they are seriously going to be the death of me. it's just not fair how damn sexy and sweet and hilarious and frustrating they are. I need daily doses of Wellington Injections!Cohen is no Knox, but he's his baby brother so it's to be expected and like Knox says in Combust he "taught him everything he knows."That being said Cohen is equally as adorable and lovable and even sexy - just in a totally different way. He's sweet and attentive, he's sensitive and caring. But, he's got a dirty mouth and alpha tendencies that he totally knows how to rock."When there's a song in your heart, you can't help but let it out. And, Ruby, you're the lyric to the only song that's been beating within me since the moment I met you."Andi was not my favorite character but that doesn't mean I loved her any less. She was confused and scared and she pushed away a damn good thing, but she redeemed herself when she got her second chance with Cohen. She held onto that boy and fought for him hard.Cohen and Andi are a couple you can't help but root for and fall in love with."You're in every song, every note, and I only wish I had the ability to write the lyrics to your song."This was another beautifully written book by Tessa... so good in fact I devoured it in a day.

Cumbust is the perfect title for this book. I have found a new author.
