Synopsis:
Maddie Neumann died the day she pulled away from her parents’ house determined to make her dreams come true. She wasn’t the perfect little princess she’d been raised to be, all she wanted to do was rock. Everything Maddie was tucked away in a box to allow for her re-birth as Rain Maxwell; a badass rocker who answered to no one and lived by her own set of rules.
Rain’s world is shattered with one phone call from her estranged family. No sooner does she get home than everything she thought she knew about her life starts changing.
Colton Bradford knew there was something special about Rain the moment they first met. Unfortunately, she had a hard and fast rule about dating a bandmate so he was stuck in the friends zone. When Rain is going through her own personal hell, will Colton finally be able to make her see how he feels and convince her to take a chance on love?
Review:
rating 5-Colton you did WHAT?–stars
Blessed Tragedy is heart-warming, heart-wrenching, heart-breaking, emotional, sexy and addicting. I read a very early copy of this book and I just couldn’t get enough! The relationship between Rain and Colton had me swooning all over the place.
I was immediately pulled into the story of Rain and her relationships with Colton, her band and her family. Blessed Tragedy is a heartfelt and heart wrenching story that will have you crying, laughing, swooning and smiling. I fell head over heels for Colton and have officially added him to my favorite Book Boyfriends of 2013!
Maddie transforms herself to a tough rocker chick named Rain. She ran from her life as Maddie and has no plans on going back to her former life until tragedy strikes and she has no choice. She returns home to find that things haven’t changed all that much–or she thinks. With the support of her band–specifically Colton she is able to make it through. On this journey though she discovers some things she never realized or knew about her family. How will Rain react to these new discoveries? It can go several ways but the only way to find out is if you read it!
I loved Colton–as I mentioned above. He is another rocker but he is not your typical rocker dude. He really cares for Rain and wants her to be happy. He is patient with her and abides by Rain’s strict rules that she doesn’t date band members but how long can he really wait around for her to realize how he feels? He will do anything for her and shows that with his actions in the book. However, their relationship can not stay this way forever something has to happen. Does Colton ever get the nerve to tell her how he feels? If so, how does Rain react?
Favorite quotes and excerpts from the book:
“For you, I think they’d do just about anything. When are you going to realize how many people love you?”
““What the fuck is that,” I shouted, a bit louder than I’d intended. Colton bolted upright in the bed, his eyes darting around the room trying to figure out what was going on. “What’s wrong?” He asked, unable to hide the panic in his voice. I threw back the sheets to show him what was wrong, as if he didn’t know, the bedroom door flew open exposing Colton to Jon and Travis.”

With fame comes the haters. There is someone out to get Rain. Will that person succeed in bringing her down? Will her band–specifically Colton–stand besides her? Or will he believe what he’s told? Can Rain survive yet another tragic event?
I grew very attached to these characters and shed a few tears in this read. I had a hard time putting this book down. I highly recommend reading it.. You will love Colton and want more of him. Lucky us we get the chance to experience more Colton in the prequel Blessed Fate coming in May!!
