I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Tangled Little Truths is the seventh book in the Lake State University series. The first book in the series introduces a group of college friends who lead complex lives, desires to discover love and attain their happily ever after. Each book features a different couple while teasing the reader with the next couple’s story. Tangled Little Truths gives us Colton and Scarlett’s story.

Colton, aka Colt, the lead singer for the band Fade into Nothing and final year university student is enjoying college and looking forward to the next chapter of his life. The one thing missing is having the girl of his dreams in his arms.  The girl whom he had the fortune of meeting in His freshman year. The one with whom he shared a toe curling and mind blowing kiss. However, circumstances with stubbornness and fear being the main culprits kept them apart.

Fast forward to their final year. The memory of the kiss remains along with their feelings which is stronger than ever. When the presidents of both their honor societies refused to work together on an upcoming charity gala, it placed Colt and Scarlett in the position to take over the planning which afforded them the opportunity to explore their feelings for each other.

I had a wonderful time with this beautiful story, which kept me flipping the pages into the wee hours. Colt and Scarlett are my favourite couple of the series. They were wonderful as individuals. Their personalities were perfectly matched which contributed to their being perfect for each other. Their relationship blossomed without the unnecessary drama and angst. The major obstacles to their relationship lay in Scarlett’s parents’ disapproval and the need to control her life and her fear of losing her heart. However, Scarlett’s strength and independent nature and Colt’s determination, coupled with their love for each other, proved stronger than these obstacles.

Although the romance was free of major drama, a few of the secondary characters brought their share to the story. This provided a peek at what one can expect in the upcoming books. It also produced some surprises along the way. I am eager to learn how all the drama will unfold.

Now, as much as I enjoyed the Tangled Little Truths, the ending left me speechless and not in a good way. The ending occurred so abruptly that it took me a while to recognize that the story came to an end.

I found Tangled Little Truths to be a delightful story about friendship, love and reaching for your dreams. Fans of romance in a college setting will get a kick out of this series. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
