In the Blue Series, love in Lake Tahoe means looking beneath the surface.
Mira Frasier survived a dark childhood. Now she’s in trouble and forced to live with Tyler Morgan, the boy whose heart she broke in high school. Something’s going to crack. Will it be Mira’s hold on a haunted life, or Tyler’s self-control for the girl he never got over?
"This story of Mira and Tyler is one filled with misunderstandings, heartbreak and passionate love. I thought the characters were well defined, and the book flowed through the plotline seamlessly. A sprinkling of danger, powerful punches of lust were what held my interest throughout the book." -- Deliciously Wicked Books
Mira Frasier has worked hard to pull herself out of the darkness of her Tahoe reservation childhood, but rough beginnings shape a person in all the wrong ways. Mira gets mixed up with shady people while trying to bail out her destitute mother—and now Mira’s life is in danger.
Tyler Morgan grew up a star athlete and scholar, but a tragedy he hasn’t dealt with has him regrouping in his home town of South Lake Tahoe. The last person he expects to see is Mira, the girl he lost his virginity to in high school, and the only woman who ever took a piece of his heart. He’d rather live in a tent than do what his sister asks and stay with Mira while they figure out how to keep her safe from the men who attacked her.
To ensure Mira remains in his past where she belongs, Tyler agrees to look out for her temporarily until she’s safe enough to move out on her own. And if he has to push that process along by snooping around and figuring out what she’s hiding, he’ll do that too. Only, Mira is still beautiful, and she’s feisty as hell, and she has all his attention—just like she did six years before.
Mira is driving Tyler crazy, the tension between them off the charts while they’re trapped under the same roof. Something is going to crack. Will it be Mira’s last hold on a haunted life, or Tyler’s self-control around the one girl he’s never been able to get over?

* I received this title from the author via [New Adult Book Club] on Goodreads as part of the Read It Review It programme, in exchange for my honest opinion.
I've really been on a role with receiving books by authors that I have never read. True Blue was no exception, it was perfectly written with just the right amount of 'pazzaz' in all aspects, you want thrilling moments? Check. Swoon worthy male? Check. A kickass female lead? Check. I could go on and on, naming things to check off your list, but you get my flow.
I found myself flying through the pages, wanting to know more, needing to know more with every single page. It follows the story of Mira and Tyler, two individuals battling demons of their own, and by a twist of fate are thrust back into each others arms in the most unexpected way. It is a story about second chances, and shows just how deeply first love impacts a person, however, the underlying fear of losing those you love, especially on a family level really hit me hard. However, towards the end I found myself disappointed with the lack of action happening, especially after the building tension that I felt throughout the whole book. I wish the author would've added a chapter or two just to satisfy the readers' budding tension.
Nevertheless, True Blue was an enjoyable read, and I love love loved the relationship and electricity I could feel through the pages of my e-reader every time Mira and Tyler came into contact. Do prepare yourself for moments where things turn in the complete opposite direction, and you're left slack-jawed in complete disbelief, and you may experience moments where you feel like throwing a tantrum because of something someone does, that completely ruins everything you anticipated.
Four stars! I will definitely be getting myself a copy of the first two books in the series!
PS: Thank you so much, Mrs. Barnard for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book :)
