New Release & Review: How Good It Was by Scarlett Cole

 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.”

My Review

How Good It Was (Excess All Areas, #3)
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The beauty of a one-night stand, it could truly change your life. For Willow, hooking up with Luke for off the charts “sexcapades” is just what she needed. She is a prominent influencer on the web which was built on her years as a child actor. As she faces the reality of a pregnancy from that night, she also finds out how much her parents haven’t really taken care of her over the years. Instead, they have taken advantage of her success. To protect her career while working to emancipate herself from her parents, she seeks out Luke in England with a proposition that they pretend to be a family. Luke is a complex guy which I didn’t expect from my first introduction to him. When Willow shows up with this crazy plan, he is shocked. As a teenager, he gave up his dream when his father died to take care of his sister and mother. This is a true guiding force for Luke, he’s passionate about caring for those he loves in his life. But dealing with the loss and challenges he faced at a young age caused him to cage himself in and to avoid any true emotions. The reality of becoming a father shakes his world. This is a beautiful journey for Willow and Luke. She has to find a way to trust people again after her parent’s completely let her down. While Luke has to face his grief and the ghost of his dad. The unique family that surrounds them provides a strong support system full of sass and humor. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

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.
