IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME by Kylie Scott - Release*Review

      "Addictive like all Kylie Scott books, you'll swoon, laugh, ache, put your life on hold, and compulsively read until the wee hours of the night—only to reread the whole thing the next morning. Perfection!" - Katy Evans, New York Times bestselling author Returning home for her father’s wedding was never going to be easy for Adele. If being sent away at eighteen hadn’t been bad enough, the mess she left behind when she made a pass at her dad’s business partner sure was. Fifteen years older than her, Pete had been her crush for as long as she could remember. But she’d misread the situation—confusing friendliness for undying love. Awkward. Add her father to the misunderstanding, and Pete was left with a broken nose and a business on the edge of ruin. The man had to be just as glad as everyone else when she left town. Seven years later, things are different. Adele is no longer a kid, but a fully grown adult more than capable of getting through the wedding and being polite. But all it takes is seeing him again to bring back those old feelings. Sometimes first loves are the truest.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time by Kylie Scott is a phenomenal read. I never wanted this story to end. It was so beautiful, raw, and real. Once I started reading, it was like these characters became everything to me and all I wanted was for them to finally realize just what they meant to each other. And just how amazing they could be together and not worry about their differences.

Kylie Scott is one of those authors whose books are imaginative, creative, and leave you feeling amazing. It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time was no different, it was perfection and writing at it's best.

This book has amazing characters, an intriguing story line, some fun scenes, and one of the best romances of the year. It has so easily become one of my all time favorite reads and one of my top Kylie books.
Adele is such a vibrant, fun, in your face character. I loved that even though she was scared and unsure how staying with Pete would go, she never ran from the inevitable. She stuck it out and let everything fall where it would. She tried so hard to get him to see that she hated what she'd done, especially to their relationship.
You are going to love Pete and all of his brooding. I just knew, even though they were working through their past together, that I was going to love him and boy do I LOVE HIM. So be prepared for an emotional journey of a lifetime and for so many feelings. Such an alluring, beautiful, HOT read.

I give It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time by Kylie Scott 5 out of 5 DEVOURED STARS!!

            “Did you enjoy the wedding?” he asked. “W-what?” The man stood much closer than necessary. “The wedding. It was nice, right?” “Sure.” Faint strains of music carried from across the road. It seemed worlds away. He downed a mouthful of scotch, gaze never leaving my face. All I could smell was the single malt, his cologne, and the slight scent of salt on his skin. After all, it’d been a hot night and he’d been dancing in the suit. He wasn’t happy; I knew the signs well enough. The tension in his jawline and the look in his eyes. All heated and intense. “So you’ve been sitting in the dark, drinking and brooding, huh?” I asked. “That sounds constructive.” “What did Leona have to say?” I laughed. “Oh, hell no. I’m not getting caught in the middle of you two again. Why don’t you try settling your issues like normal people and actually talk to one another?” “You have such a clever mouth, Adele.” He cocked his head. “Always got an answer, don’t you?” “Enjoy your scotch, Pete.” I turned away. “I’m going to bed.” “What’s the rush?” Strong fingers wrapped around my arm, not gripping me hard, just enough to hold me in place. “I’ve spent enough time tonight in the company of a drunken asshole, thank you.” I smiled. His return smile was lopsided. “You’re angry.” “I’m tired.” “You’re angry and tired. Me too,” he said. “Less so on the tired, though. Actually, I’m wide the fuck awake.” “Good for you.” He finished off his drink, then reached past me, setting the empty glass on the kitchen counter. “Keep me company.” “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” “Why not?” he asked, expression full of false interest. “Thought you’d love the chance to tell me off some more.” I looked away. “We’re done here.” “No, we’re not.” “Yes, we are.” I pulled my arm out of his grasp. “We’re finished, Pete. Our friendship or whatever the hell it is these days . . . It’s over, kaput, the end. Took me seven years, but tonight I finally wised up.” “That so?” “Yep,” I said. “I refuse to keep feeling this way about you. It’s such a stupid waste.” His gaze narrowed. “You know, I even have a plan.” “What might that be?” “In the morning, I’m going to go home and fuck every available man I meet until one of them does it for me.” My smile felt jagged and horrible. It couldn’t have been pretty so see. “And then I won’t think about you anymore.” His fingers curled into tight fists. Nice to know I wasn’t the only one affected. I put my hand on his chest, getting up in his face. Two could play the invading-personal-space game, for fun and intimidation. As if I would back down.       Kylie is a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author.
