Release Day Blitz & Review…The Act of Trusting by Lexi Bissen

The Act of Trusting by Lexi Bissen is now live!

There was a sadness in her clear, gray eyes that I could see she tried to hide. A fight with her inner demons she didn’t want to show anyone…

Camden Collins
Life was going well for me. I was on the right track: captain of the soccer team, grades were passing, and I had the respect of my team. Girls threw themselves at me. It was every twenty-year-old’s dream.
Then I saw her…
One look at her, and it all changed. Something about her drew me in. A sense of protectiveness to guard this small, sad girl. In her eyes, I could see the fight she had within herself…and I wanted to be there for her. To protect her and be someone to lean on while she fought whatever it was. Nothing else seemed to matter but the dark-haired, beautiful girl I couldn’t stay away from.

Blaire Wentworth
I wasn’t the same girl I was four years ago. My life was stolen from me one night and I’d never have the chance to get old me back. Now I was just existing, not living. I went through the motions of my everyday routine, staying quiet and keeping to myself. Trusting and letting people in was a constant struggle.
Until he showed up…
I’d never seen someone like him before. Not once had I described a guy as beautiful, but that’s what he was. He struck something in me, and I didn’t know how to handle that. I was chasing nightmares no one knew about. Ones I kept to myself for a reason. Could I let this new person into my life that I had kept closed off from many for far too long? What if I let my guard down and he ended up destroying me?
And that became my greatest fear…

I waited a few days after I finished this one to write my review. I really wasn’t sure how I felt about it and wanted to give this book justice.

The Act of Trusting is a college romance. Camden and Blaire have a very awkward, not-so-cute meet-cute and things just go from there.

The blurb gives you the perfect background to know what you are walking into. Camden and Blaire are complete opposites on the college campus – she likes to remain unseen and he’s the center of attention.

I enjoyed the time frame that this story played out. It wasn’t too fast and it wasn’t too slow; things play out naturally and are fairly realistic. I say fairly because there are a few situations that just felt out of sorts.

I enjoyed Camden and his ability to see past the surface along with his innate need to protect Blaires.

Blaire – girl has been through a lot. She’s strong in so many different ways. However, there is one scene that irks me and I feel that it wasn’t given the proper attention and therefore, showed Blaire as weak.

Overall, it’s not a bad read. It’s right down the middle for me. As much as I enjoyed the characters, there wasn’t anything endearing that made either of them standout from others. Again, not a bad thing, just right down the middle enjoyable.
