4.5 I Love Colt Stars
ARC received for an honest review
“It’s not about the time we’ve had together; it’s all about what he has given me in those moments.”
I cannot believe I waited until the 3rd book in the Southern Boys Series to start reading it. I think C.A. Harms did a wonderful job in writing Colt and Alexis’ story that is fast-paced yet manage to deliver the emotions with full impact. Since this was my first book in the series (I have started and loved Forgiving Reed after I finished with Loving Colt), I didn’t know what I expected with the story but it ended up with me searching through my Kindle to read the rest of the books.
Loving Colt is the almost whirlwind story of a young single parent Alexis and a still bachelor Colt. The two met in while Alexis was on the road with her daughter, Maddi. Running away from her abusive boyfriend with not enough money for food until they reach her parents’ home, Colt was a stranger who generously paid for their meal during their stopover in Georgia. From that night, it seemed like everything happened to bring them together… closer to each other. It was like fate was gently steering Alexis and Maddi in Colt and his family’s way, that they will be the one to save her and vice versa.
“This was home I had found when I wasn’t even looking for one. This was where we belonged.”
Because fate was in control, Alexis and Maddi ended up staying longer in Georgia than what Alexis has planned but it ended up being what was best for them. Everyone in that town was kind and supportive and they have grown to be friends to Colt and his friends and family. How the build up of their love story was a refreshing experience. I’m not against insta-love and in a way, Colt and Alexis’ was sort of “insta”, however, I love the fact that it was not just about them and that they didn’t act on it right away. There was a build up from beings strangers to somewhat friends to being attracted to each other until they have both acted on it. I love that other characters were involved in their story. Their friends and family supported, loved, and guided them.
“After everything she had gone through, I strived to make her feel desirable and wanted. She needed to know that she deserved more than what she had been dealt. I planned on making sure she knew what it felt like to be somebody’s all.”
Alexis was hesitant at first which was understandable with the experience she just ran away from but that didn’t last long and I have no complaints about that, it didn’t feel like the author rushed into things for Alexis and Colt’s relationship. C.A. Harms took the time with their chemistry and did great in not dragging it for too long that it would be plain frustrating. Colt was understanding throughout all this, he stood by and didn’t rush what he was feeling. He became a friend. He didn’t push her but with his actions, it was obvious he cared not just for Alexis but also her daughter. Actions speak louder than words, right? I believe that most of the time and Colt was a good example of a “man of action”.
And once they talked about their feelings and their relationship, it was all rainbows and butterflies for me! Well, except for that part where I held my breath. Loving Colt is an easy, feel-good read even though that first part had me teary-eyed and sad, the story didn’t focus too much on the bad but the good instead and after all the emotional books I’ve read lately, this was a refreshingly good surprise. I will definitely read Finding Gavin now!
Stars: 4.5 stars
Recommended to: Everyone looking for a sweet romance with a touch of drama in it. Just a touch. Loving Colt is overall a happy reading experience for me.
Series: Yes. Standalone with interconnected characters.
POV: First person. Dual POV.
Extra Comment: If you’ve read Forgiving Reed (I’d like to say both earlier books but I still haven’t read Finding Gavin as of this writing), Loving Colt is less emotional but I loved it just the same!
