For as long as I could remember, Theodore West was in my
life as the support system I needed when my parents were too busy building our
family’s future.
He offered me shoes to dance on, a shoulder to absorb my
tears, and the harsh reality of where my life was leading when I was at my
lowest point.
And when the future my parents planned derailed after a
statewide scandal, I had no choice but to fantasize about one for myself that
didn’t involve them.
But Theo? He was always in it.
My father’s best friend.
The man who would undoubtedly end me if I didn’t end him
first.

Excerpt
“I’m surprised you
didn’t get sick of me always bugging you to dance then.” I’d been relentless
and he always did as I asked. My father joked I’d had him wrapped around my
finger, a place I wanted him to always remain, even if that was selfish.
“I didn’t mind.”
“You never used to—”
I squealed when he lifted me up and guided my feet to his shoes where they
rested as soon as he dropped me back down, then started laughing when he kept
dancing just like that. Like the old times.
“I enjoyed those
days, Della,” he told me honestly, his face drawing back ever so slightly until
his breath caressed the side of my face.
“You did?”
Half his lips
quirked up. “I did. Those were simpler times when there was nothing heavy to
worry about.”
I licked my lips as
his nose grazed mine. My heart sped in my chest as I closed my eyes again and
willed him to close the gap between our lips, but it never came. So I said,
“Things now are certainly complicated because of my father…”
His sigh was felt in
my soul, heavy and burdened, and I wanted to know his thoughts. “It isn’t just
your father that makes things complicated now.”
“It isn’t?”
A pause. “No, Della,
it isn’t.”

My Review
Color Me Pretty by B. CelesteMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was my first B. Celeste's book, and won't be my last. Color Me Pretty is a sweet, and beautiful father's best friend / forbidden romance / and age gap. Della (Adele) is a beautiful and strong young woman, who's struggling with her heartbreaking past. Theo (Theodore) is HANDSOME, protective, caring, and supportive. They share an undeniable and intense chemistry. Their story is a slow burn romance, and the storyline is complex, and unfolds at a slow pace. The cast of supporting characters is impressive. The ending is heartwarming and beautiful. I loved it! I need more of these two characters! Looking forward to read more books written by B. Celeste.
