About book The Start Of Us (2013)

I came across the No Regrets series through Amazons free offer of “The Thrill of It”. “The Start of Us” is an expanded version of the prologue of “The Thrill of It”. Lauren Blakely presents a more detailed version of the events that take place during the initial meeting of the two main characters Harley and Trey. During their first meeting there is an instant attraction that both characters do not reveal until later. When the attraction is revealed the chemistry between the two is sizzling hot! Unbeknownst to them, both characters have signed up for the same support group to help battle their demons...it should be interesting (that part is in “The Thrill of It”). My only complaint is I find “The Start of Us” redundant when compared to the prologue of “The Thrill of It”. I don’t necessarily agree that readers have to read this to get an understanding/grasp of the initial meeting and attraction between Harley and Trey because the reader will get that in the prologue of the next book. However (I’m going to sound like a contradiction) I would still recommend this read because the expanded version is DAMN HOT! A Jumble of Thoughts Disguised as a Review (in Numbered Parts)1. Why is the girl on the cover in a bikini top? I don't remember that from the book. Why are the two people on the cover always in such awkward positions? His mouth isn't close enough to hers for a kiss, but his head's not positioned low enough to be resting near her boobs. Who else does not understand?2. Free iBook romances are evil. And way too short. Which increases their evilness. Ha, that is a word! Sweet! Anyway, I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to judge something that barely had the time to get started.3. That being said, The Start of Us at the very least tried to avoid instant love. There was some initial chemistry and such, but these two characters just spent an enjoyable night together without making such a big deal out of it. That's what bumped it up a star.4. What exactly does the main heroine do to men that's not having sex with them and yet makes her so valuable? Explanation would be nice.5. Ending? Way too many questions, not enough interest.6. Sadly, not going to continue with this series. I'm getting the same vibe here I did from When I Break by Kendall Ryan, and I really should've trusted my gut on that one.

Wow, this prequel rocked! I'm hooked. When Harley and Trey meet in his tattoo shop, they have an immediate chemical connection. After Trey inks her tattoo, they decide to explore their mutual attraction and hang out a little bit before this big something that will put an end to their availability. And what follows is total hotness to the nth degree. I've already started my audiobook copy of The Thrill of It during my work commute and have been caught up in their full story since yesterday. I am dying of curiosity to see what her tattoo looks like so I'll have to check out author Lauren Blakely's Facebook page or Pinterest page to see if she has posted images.This novella is currently free (at time of review posting) on Barnes & Noble and on Amazon so grab your copy now and get started.

The tale is very short but, in its shortness, Lauren Blakely has managed to create a powerful story, with intriguing characters that have a lot of personal baggage.It's all very mysterious, and I've spent almost the entire time trying to figure out the main issue, which was quite shocking.The chemistry between Harley and Trey is undeniable, and it's not just that. They both have dark secrets but, in their own way, they were able to find a common ground and connect with each other.It's safe to say that I will definitely continue with the series!
