Then You Saw Me by Carrie Aarons is now live!
You know what’s guaranteed to send your heart into your throat? Opening the front door of your off-campus house to find the boy you had a crush on all through high school telling you he’s the new subletter.
Of course, he barely knew I existed back then, and still doesn’t even though we attend the same university. But in a house of six college kids, it should be easy to remain invisible while carrying a torch for him. After all, I’m skilled at being overlooked and playing second fiddle.
Except Austin Van Hewitt, my hometown’s golden boy, doesn’t get the memo. After we throw our first party of the year, I’m on his radar and somehow my lips miraculously end up on his. The budding romance is one I’ve always dreamt about. As he shows more and more interest, I push aside the plaguing insecurity of never being good enough.
But then a letter shows up in our mailbox. A time capsule I wrote to myself when I was fifteen. You know, the kind where a teacher sends it to you years later? Guess who opens it by mistake and reads all about how I plan on marrying him and having his babies one day? Did I mention I signed it using his last name?
Mortifying would be an understatement. After he starts pulling away, I’m once again the girl in the background hoping that someone will understand me enough to pay me all of their attention.
The old me, the one conditioned to settle for what she’s given, would back down. This time, though, if I want everything I almost held in my hands, I’ll have to speak up. I’ll have to admit exactly how I feel, fight for the love that was blossoming. And I’m not sure what’s scarier; voicing my inner thoughts or facing his ultimate rejection.

I pretty much jump at any book that Carrie Aarons releases and this one was no different.
Then You Saw Me is a college romance full of angst and even some family drama. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot of this book Carrie delivers a normal issue in a unique way that would have even the most confident people, feeling a bit aghast.
Taya is character that so many of us can relate to in different ways. I love how Carrie is able to deliver a familiar trope in a non-cliché way. Taya had the biggest crush on Austin when they were growing up but he never paid her much attention. She’s always blended into the background and kept her head down. Austin comes from a family that everyone knows and respects. His family practically owns and runs the small town both he and Taya are from. But he’s truly not what readers will think. I honestly love that Carrie brings us another character that will not the fit the norm of what we expect in college romance reads.
This story is full of growth, discovering your self-worth and a romance that will readers will love. I loved the banter, the honest connection between them and fully rounded secondary characters that help build this new series. I am looking forward to seeing more stories form them all.
