I was lucky enough to read this book before the release date, but I had to one-click as soon as it went live! I loved it that much! PLUS, look at that cover! GORGEOUS!I'm a huge fan of S.E. Hall's- her Evolve series is one of my very faves- so I knew I would love Pretty Instinct too. But I so much more than loved it!Pretty Instinct had everything I look for in a book: lots of laughs, a little mystery, just enough angst, and a lot of steam! It was a beautiful story that sucked me in from the beginning and I couldn't put it down until the very last page.Lizzie is one bad-ass chick; a strong, independent 23 year-old woman that is used to taking care of everyone but herself. She's Mama Bear to the men in her life- her big brother Conner and her two best friends, Rhett and Jarrett. They're all in a band together (LOVE the name, btw) and traveling on a tour bus when a fateful pit stop brings a chance encounter with a very sexy, guitar-holding "hitchhiker". And it just so happens the band needs a new guitarist (you know, since Lizzie threw the other one out at said rest stop).Enter Cannon Blackwell, AKA the new love of my life. Cannon joins the band on the road and works his way into Lizzie's heart, knocking down all of the walls she's put up to protect herself from getting hurt. She hasn't had the easiest life and trust doesn't come fast or easy, but Cannon makes her feel things and see a life she didn't think was possible. I won't give away any more of the story, but believe me when I say it is one you don't want to miss and won't easily forget!Cannon is just the right balance of naughty and nice-- he knows how to take care of his woman inside and outside the bedroom. Boy does he have a way with words. And ohhhh his dirty talk melted me into a puddle on the floor! Lizzie is probably my new favorite lead female in a book. She's snarky, strong, and honest. She's someone I could see myself being friends with. The secondary characters added so much to the story and I found myself loving them just as much as the lead characters.Pretty Instinct is a standalone, but I am SO glad to hear Rhett and others will be getting their own story because I don't want to say bye to these characters EVER! I can't do this book justice with my words-- it is just TOO good! But it is definitely one of my new all-time favorites. Do yourself a favor and one-click RIGHT NOW. You won't regret it!
