TRUE NORTH is Book one in Liora Blake's True series. TRUE NORTH is about what happens when a low key novelist and widow meets a sexy rock star. I loved reading TRUE NORTH, couldn't put it down, and lost a few hours of sleep. Although they are perhaps an unlikely couple, the relationship between Kate and Trevor develops very organically and the banter between them is very flirty and fun.
TRUE NORTH opens with Kate and the story is told exclusively from her perspective. I liked Kate immediately and she comes off seeming very real and down- to-earth. At a chance meeting, while they're both doing promotion on a TV show, they click and the attraction is palpable. I love romances in which the hero pursues the heroine, so having super sexy Trevor ardently and charmingly pursue Kate is a treat to read about. Liora Blake does a great job of describing the intense sexual pull that exists between Kate and Trevor. However, throughout the course of TRUE NORTH, their relationship evolves into so much more than a sexual one. Both main characters have a wonderful depth to them and complex personalities.
Although there are a lot of purely fun and sexy moments in TRUE NORTH, there are a few deeper themes that come out as the story progresses. All throughout the book, Trevor's family and friends express to Kate how she should be careful not to hurt him because of how important she is to him and how deep his feelings are for her. I don't believe that Kate doesn't take his feelings seriously, but she hasn't completely worked out all her feelings about how her husband's death affected the way she views intimate relationships. She may be better at dealing with her grief over losing her husband, but I think his death made her look at the shelf life of relationships in a different way. I love Trevor's devotion to Kate as well as his emotional availability and capacity when it comes to her. Trevor makes for some truly sweet, as well as red hot, love scenes.
TRUE NORTH is a great book for romantics who like a little spice with their romance and a sensitive yet sexy hero. The dialogue excites and delights. I look forward to hopefully reading more about Kate's sister in future books. I eagerly await the next book in this series by Liora Blake.
What happens when a bad-boy celebrity rocker meets a small-town bestselling novelist? Find out in this first book in the sizzling new True series by Liora Blake!
While most novelists would consider jetting off to Hollywood for a TV interview rather exciting, small-town Montana writer Kate Mosely finds it all a bit exhausting. After losing her husband in a car accident where she was behind the wheel, Kate has finally found her bearings in the world again, rebuilding a simple but stable life. And even if that means a lot of lonely nights watching old movies and quiet days writing obituaries for her hometown newspaper, Kate’s not sure she’s ready for her life to change—again.
Until she shares the stage—and a whole heap of carnal gazes—with rock star Trevor “Trax” Jenkins. Despite his intimidating on-stage bravado, underneath it Kate discovers a man with a Rilke poem tattooed on his arm, an appreciation for cronuts, and a snarky wit that matches her own.
As she and Trevor explore their heated chemistry, the scarred parts of Kate’s heart begin to heal, making room for a love so passionate it makes her want long-forgotten things equal parts naughty, heart-swelling, and joyful. But when a searing exposé in a trashy gossip magazine sends Kate running, will it threaten their chances at forever?
