Ten Days of Perfect November Blue Book 1 edition by Andrea Randall Literature Fiction eBooks
Okay, I love books about musicians. I love romance. I love the characters in this book. So why did I only give it three stars? Because unfortunately I have reached my maximum and this book was the unlucky one to be the one I was reading when I reached my point of 'enough already'.Though I may be in the minority, I am getting so tired of books that don't end. I am a long time reader of romantic fiction and a librarian and I strongly dislike the new style of having to read more than one book (usually a trilogy) to get a story told. To me, it smacks of a simply monetary reward - why write a book when you can write three and get triple the price. I know that sounds really cynical but sometimes a trilogy makes sense but more often than not - really?!? The market is being deluged by trilogies and it is driving me crazy...And it is even worse when I don't know, when I start the book, that there will be more coming. That really sets me off.
I enjoyed this book but I am starting to look at titles that, even though they get good reviews, if they continue in another book not yet published I am not buying them. Sad to make that one of my criteria but there it is. I enjoy reading books that have great stories, great characters AND AN ENDING!!

Ten Days of Perfect November Blue Book 1 edition by Andrea Randall Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Ten Days of Perfect is the first book in Andrea Randall's November Blue series. We meet November "Ember" Blue, a twenty-six year old grant writer. Ember was raised by two hippy parents who traveled all over the country, never staying in one place for too long. Though, Ember couldn't be any more different from her parents. She doesn't want that sort of transient life for her and has done everything in her power to grow roots. After graduating from Princeton, she and her friend, Monica, founded a non-profit agency whose aim is to help at-risk teens.
"Despite my mother's encouragement to always love with reckless abandon, I grew up slightly guarded and suspicious. To her, spontaneity was as easy as breathing. To me, it seemed like skydiving without checking to see if you had a backpack of a parachute."
In addition to her day job, Ember is a talented musician and often sings at her friend Josh's bar on open mic night. Ember has sworn off the opposite sex after a really bad break-up. Then, she meets Bo Cavanaugh and she quickly reassess her single status. This guy might be worth it. Bo and Ember meet at an open mic night. Sparkly fly when Ember and Monica go up on stage and sing "Heaven When We're Home" by The Wailin' Jennys (listen to it, it's good!). Taken by Bo's musical talent and stunning looks, Ember's world shook a little bit.
"The second our hands touched I felt it run up my arm, through my veins, and land square in my gut. A ribbon of instant desire tightened around my insides at the sight of his half smile just a few short inches from my face."
Ember is thrown for a loop when Bo makes an appearance in her professional life and both are left trying to juggle their personal and professional relationship. And just when they think they have it figured out someone in Ember's past comes back to shake things up.
I really loved Bo. He's sweet, thoughtful, and a talented musician. It's too bad Bo is a fictional character because I want him for myself. And then he says things like this and I melt into a puddle.
"November, if your heart was mine it would never break."
Bo and Ember's instant connection and instant attraction for each other didn't bother me. I loved the way Randall built the romantic connection and chemistry between Bo and Ember. Actually, I was shocked that it didn't bother me. What I didn't like was just how quickly they fell in love. Ember was declaring her love for Bo after just two days right after sex. Instant attraction (with a good foundation) I can handle, but instant love (even with fantastic chemistry) is not for me. I wanted more tension between the two characters.
Even though there was instalove and it didn't work for me, I still will give this book 3 stars for the writing. Andrea Randall is a great writer. I really like Bo and Ember as a couple. They compliment each other and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
Ten Days of Perfect is a smart and sexy read. I liked that there was a depth to what was going on beyond the relationship between Bo and Ember. There were just enough twists and turns that kept me guessing and glued to the page. Peeling the layers back on this story was so gratifying I only put the book down once ... to call for pizza.
The chemistry between Bo and Ember is smoldering without being overtly graphic. Don't get me wrong, I am all for a gratuitous sex scene but I think it takes tremendous talent to write the foreplay. The kind that sets your panties on fire before anyone even touches each other; that's what I am talking about. WHEW!
Ember is a magnificent protagonist; I fell hard for her (sorry, Bo!) She is a beautiful balance of strong yet vulnerable, stoic yet emotional. She is bold, passionate, independent and sarcastically witty. *swoon* She isn't perfect but her flaws made me more invested in her, not irritated by her.
Bo is about as swoon worthy as they come; he's hot and he is sensitive. He is also a musician and philanthropist so there is absolutely no hope in trying to escape his magnetism. Like Ember, he has issues he needs to work out but I got pretty mad at Bo for his imperfections. Was that fair? Maybe not, I have an unnatural attachment to Ember that biases me.
Adrian was a wild card for me; I wanted to hate this guy's guts. He completely screwed with Ember's head back in college and then reappeared to take another stab at it. At first, I thought that he was just a run of the mill manipulative egomaniac but I found myself feeling sorry for him. I don't think he is less of a manipulator but darn it, Andrea Randall made me like him anyway. Well done.
Overall The characters were my favorite part of the book; I loved how each of them revealed themselves in their own way and in their own time. They each set their own pace, taking care not to fall prey to predictability. I liked the lack of contrived formula character development that can plague the romance genre. It was obvious to me that the author took a lot of time and great care to write a great love story with a fresh character profile. I would recommend this book to someone who is looking for a great romance but is looking for something outside of the generic hero/ heroine role. It was a wonderful read and I am already anticipating Reckless Abandon (#2)!
