Review and Giveaway: Blind Attraction: Eden Summers
Buy Amazon/B&N/Smashwords
He can seduce with a single glance.
Peering down at a sea of fans, rock star, Mitchell Davies can’t deny the innocent beauty of a woman in the front row. He’ll stop at nothing to get to know her. When a public altercation leaves her weak and defenseless, he takes the opportunity to be her savior.
She’s been sheltered from the world.
Alana Shelton wants to spread her wings and experience life away from her restrictive upbringing. But she isn’t prepared for a gorgeous stranger to sweep her off her feet while at her most vulnerable.
Attraction will bring them together, but their pasts will try to tear them apart.
He wants to teach her how to trust, but she’ll show him how to love. In a glamorous world of rock-and-roll, only time will tell if they’re up for the challenge.
This is a sweet rock star romance with some different twists that add more depth to the story. Alana is a reserved girl who has grown up isolated in a women's retreat and without being exposed much to men and the outside world. Her best friend Kate wins concert tickets and they end up on the front row of a show for Reckless Beat. Mitch is the lead guitarist and sparks fly when their eyes meet during the concert.She stood out like a beacon, her wide eyes and shy smile causing him to lose focus. He could tell she wasn't a show-your-assets-to-get-a-backstage-pass kind of girl. In fact, he didn't think she was a hardcore fan at all. There'd been no screaming, no flashing, and no panties flying at the stage when he smiled at her. Instead of the typical seductive glances he'd grown accustomed to, she gave him a glimpse of her gorgeous dimples and broke eye contact.
He convinces her to meet him afterward(barely with a big push from her friend), but an unfortunate incident leaves her in need of help and supervision for a few days. Mitch makes a wonderful caretaker and along the way they cannot fight their growing attraction and attachment. I really loved Mitch. He was kind, caring, gentle and sweet with Alana. But he could be a little clueless about relationships.
Alana was pretty strong despite her sheltered upbringing and vulnerable state. She has a good outlook on life and is willing to be more adventurous. She is thrust into a situation of trust and handles it well. Together they are sweet, sexy, real, and have strong feelings neither of them knows what to do with. They are both afraid since it all happened so suddenly and so strongly. It was a little "insta-lovey" since it happened in a matter of days, but it did not really bother me because they really were good together.
"What is it with you Allie? Why can't I take my mind off you? I can't take a single breath without wishing I was touching you."
Mitch is protective and just wants to do the right thing for Alana. She is just starting to make a way for herself and figure out what she wants out of life. She also has some family dynamic situations pressing on her. And Mitch knows that the life of a rock star is hard and unstable. I really felt for both of them. They were struggling so much because they truly cared for each other, but knew that their time together was going to be coming to end so they became desperate and unhappy.
He was a fairytale. A handsome and strong and protective fairytale, and she wasn't ready for it to end.
Will they be able to find a way to hold on or have to let go?
This was a fun, fast read. Mitch and Alana were really likable. Mitch was quite down to Earth and swoon worthy at the same time. I liked the supporting characters almost as much as the main ones. Her friend Kate and his band member Blake were really funny. And Blake was literally all up in their business and had no filter. I would love to see him get his own book. And there were various back stories in place that added interest and complications to the story. The writing style flowed easily and kept me interested. I will definitely be reading more in this series. The author has not revealed yet who the next book is about, but I am voting for Blake!
