R.C. Boldt has outdone herself with Too Good At Goodbyes!
Too Good At Goodbyes is a complete standalone told from both Simone King and Kane Windham’s point of view.
Simone Kane has been deemed as the ‘Ice Princess of Pop’ thanks to a few scummy ex boyfriends and one ex fiance. Living life in the spotlight isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, but Simone does it so she can have the ability to help people expanse ability to help people. This woman may have a bad reputation to the media and public eye, but beneath the surface and only around those she loves and trusts she’s a sweetheart.
Kane Windham is in the process of trying to rearrange his life after the love of his life decided to up and leave but not before revealing all her secrets and shattering his heart. Now Kane is trying his best to live his life day to day.
When Kane’s friends worry becomes too much he decides to accept the security job his buddy needs a hand with. Protecting the Ice Princess of Pop isn’t going to be too much work…Right?
R.C. Boldt is a fairly new to me author. This is my third book I’ve picked up and read by her and I have to say, I’m blown the freak awak! She’s quickly climbing my auto buy author list!!!
AH! I love when authors take a popular trope and flip it up! The design of what a trope is supposed to be gets put on the back burner and I’m hurled into a world that is so unlike anything I’ve ever read before! R.C. Boldt took the rock star romance trope made the lead character a female pop singer with a heart of gold but a bad reputation thanks to a few douche canoes that pop up every now and again. GENIUS. BOLDT is PURE GENIUS. Also, is it just me or did you all feel some serious swifty vibes…… Hmmmm…. Just some food for thought!
I loved every step this journey of a novel took me one. I loved the highs and the lows. I loved the drama and the impending sense of self doubt every time I was wrong about a prediction I had made mere minutes ago. Never a dull moment!
Simone King was someone the world can learn to appreciate. This woman shows true strength with her ability to put up a shield blocking the whole world’s hate. She knows what matters and it’s the people she keeps closest to her heart that have the ability to fly through that shield. It’s their opinions that truly matter. I can’t even begin to explain how much of an impact this character had on my heart. There were times I wanted to stand up and go to battle for her.
Now Kane… this man is a diamond in the rough. I loved every facet of him, from the protective nature to the man whose living with a broken heart. His character fit perfectly with Simone’s. If ever there was a match made in romance book heaven, it would be this match.
Overall, Too Good At Goodbyes was am overwhelmingly raw tale about two broken hearts coming together and healing each others souls. It was an epic tale of true love at it’s finest. It pulled every emotion ever written in any book out of me. There were moments that made me cry and moments that made me giggle. Hands down I couldn’t get enough of Simone and Kane’s story. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to these two!
Peace Love and Happy Reading,
