~**~ Release Blitz for How Good It Was (Excess All Areas #3) by Scarlett Cole w/ Review ~**~

 Release Date: February 22

Willow

Love’s an illusion.

Everyone around her is out for what they can get, except a drummer who wanted nothing more than a steamy one-night stand.

Two blue lines later, she’s on the fast track to career destruction as America’s number one wholesome content creator.

Saving her reputation and collaborations will require a plan and a little social media fakery. Okay, a lot. Like twelve months of pretending to build a family with the rockstar of her dreams.

Luke

Love’s an anchor.

Responsibilities and lack of band success have kept him trapped. But now, with the band suddenly making it big and his family obligations gone, life is off the rails. Yet fame, women, and arena tours only go so far in helping keep his pain buried.

Until one of the most spectacular nights of his life comes back to haunt him. She saved his career, now she wants him to help save hers.

A baby. A fake relationship. And a million dollars. Is it the perfect arrangement to avoid responsibilities? Or a deal guaranteed to ruin them both?

"A rockstar you can’t help but love. A strong heroine to admire. And a love meant to be. Scarlett Cole takes you apart and puts you back together again.”

***5 Stars***

This book definitely took me on a roller coaster of a  ride because this one had its moments where I wanted to toss the Kindle into the freezer (this option replaces throwing it against a wall). But, it also kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next and, in the end, every frustrating, sweet, funny, heartbreaking moment was worth it.

Willow and Luke. I ended up loving them both, but boy did they try me, especially in the first half of the book. I was already iffy about Luke (okay, he was my least fav of the band going in) and while I liked Willow and totally empathized with all that she was dealing with, there were things she did that rubbed me the wrong way. But as I got further into their story, I realized that they both had a lot of growing to do. They were both stuck and couldn’t see beyond the ends of their noses. So watching as they figured out what they wanted ~ not only from themselves, but each other and those around them ~ was pretty amazing and in the end I loved how things worked out for them.

This was another great read and addition to the series. It does address the good and bad of social media as well as mental health issues in general and substance abuse, but all of it is done well and was necessary for the growth of both characters. But what really bumped this book up for me in the enjoyment factor was getting to hang out with the Sad Friday crew. From Nan, to Matt, Iz, Jase (whom is STILL my fav) and Cerys, Ben, Chaya, Pat to Alex and Zoe, these characters have really grown on me and I love simply hanging out with them. Alex and Zoe are up next and the chopping block and I cannot wait to get my hands on their book!

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. 

Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

 

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.

 

I am represented by Beth Phelan at The Bent Agency, NY.
