The Act of Trusting by Lexi Bissen is now live!
There was a sadness in her clear, gray eyes that I could see she tried to hide. A fight with her inner demons she didn't want to show anyone...
Camden Collins
Life was going well for me. I was on the right track: captain of the soccer team, grades were passing, and I had the respect of my team. Girls threw themselves at me. It was every twenty-year-old's dream.
Then I saw her...
One look at her, and it all changed. Something about her drew me in. A sense of protectiveness to guard this small, sad girl. In her eyes, I could see the fight she had within herself...and I wanted to be there for her. To protect her and be someone to lean on while she fought whatever it was. Nothing else seemed to matter but the dark-haired, beautiful girl I couldn't stay away from.
Blaire Wentworth
I wasn't the same girl I was four years ago. My life was stolen from me one night and I'd never have the chance to get old me back. Now I was just existing, not living. I went through the motions of my everyday routine, staying quiet and keeping to myself. Trusting and letting people in was a constant struggle.
Until he showed up...
I'd never seen someone like him before. Not once had I described a guy as beautiful, but that's what he was. He struck something in me, and I didn't know how to handle that. I was chasing nightmares no one knew about. Ones I kept to myself for a reason. Could I let this new person into my life that I had kept closed off from many for far too long? What if I let my guard down and he ended up destroying me?
And that became my greatest fear...
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟
This was a sweet and sexy romance.
"I'm a broken, scared girl with a past I'm ashamed of, that I'm sure will send him running."
Blaire Wentworth has kept herself closed off for years since suffering a terrible trauma. Her only friend is her flatmate, Emree. She's skittish and avoids parties and guys. When she finally agrees to attend a party, she comes across a guy who's relieving himself in the garden, and she runs away completely mortified.
"I want to make all our days together great."
Camden Collins is the captain of the college soccer team. He's gorgeous, friendly, and can have any girl he wants. Blaire intrigues him from the first, even though the circumstance surrounding their first encounter was awkward. He's prepared to bide his time, as long as Blaire gives him a chance.
"You have me. You have my trust. My heart. Everything. I would never do anything to hurt you."
Overall, I enjoyed this story. I loved that Blaire recognised early on that Camden was a really good guy. He melted my heart with his patience, his good intentions, and his protective instincts. He worked hard to charm Blaire and gently knock down her walls. I enjoyed Blaire's courage, and the fact that her desire for Camden pushed her outside her comfort, and she was willing to go further with him, as time went on. Camden was hella sweet and swoony - he was the perfect guy for her!
