INTRODUCTION

Hi everyone My name is Victoria Zumbrum, 40 years old, married 14 years with 1 son. This is my very first blog. So bear with me. I have always wanted to have my own blog. I have always loved to read. I enjoy getting lost in a good book.
I love becoming part of the story and characters. I am hoping to bring my love of books to my readers.

I love reading different genres such as paranormal, young adult, romance, romantic suspense, mystery, Christian fiction, some horror, etc. The list goes on. I started reviewing books a couple of years ago and have done reviews for different blogs and even some authors. I really have enjoyed reviewing books and I will continue to do so. If anyone is interested in me reviewing a book for them, please contact me. I still have a lot to learn regarding my own blog so bear with me. I welcome and appreciate all followers.

Excerpt:


I pulled up outside Rose Cottage, noticing Max’s face in the window.
“Hey,” I called as he opened the door. He seemed a little taken aback standing there watching me. Was he going to let me in or not? “Is everything okay?” I asked, worried that I might have come at a bad time.
“You look different with your hair down,” he muttered, snapping out of his thoughts to open the door wider for me.
“Oh, yeah. I…I…always wear my hair up when I’m working,” I stuttered, realising he must have been annoyed that I’d worn my hair down today. Maybe he wanted to draw me with my hair up. I knew some artists visualised their work before even beginning to draw it. That was how I always used to do it anyway.
“I’m sorry. Did you want me to put it up?”
“No.” Max frowned, shaking his head at me. “Why don’t you make yourself comfortable in the living room? I was just about to make myself some coffee. Would you like a cup?”
“Yes, please. Black with one sugar,” I replied before wandering into the living room. I tried to shove my slight nervousness down to the bottom of my stomach. Could I really do this?
Max had already set out all of his art materials. I realized we had another thing in common as I took in the charcoal pencils and large, white canvas. Some of his art equipment looked old, as if it had been handed down to him. I wasn’t sure why I was so intrigued to find out more about this man, but I wanted to know everything I could.
“Here you go, Summer.” Hearing his voice come from so close behind me made me jump. I’d become absorbed with looking around at his art materials. It had been so long since I’d seen any paraphernalia like this.  
“Thanks,” I whispered, taking the coffee from his hand. I couldn’t help but notice we both took our coffee black, and it made me wonder if he took one sugar, too. “So, where do you want me?” I’d just made myself sound like a hooker.
“The stool, if that’s okay.” Max choked a little on his coffee. I was blushing as I walked over to the stool. Would I ever stop making myself look like an idiot in front of this man?
I perched on the small, dark brown stool, not really sure how to pose. I’d never done anything like this before. Most artists preferred being behind the canvas, and I was no exception. This was a little too exposed compared to what I had been used to. Deep down,  I knew I was only doing it because of Max.
“Just relax, Summer.” He smiled, touching my shoulder softly. “You’re going to be sitting for a while.”
“I have no idea how you want me to pose. I’ve never done this before.”
“Just be natural,” he murmured, moving to sit behind the canvas. I was a little annoyed when he did because it obscured my view of him.
“So, have you come to Dorset just to sketch?” I asked, making conversation while trying to peer around the canvas.
“I’ve come for inspiration, actually,” he answered. It looked as if he was getting all his materials ready.
MY REVIEW:
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED COLOURBLIND. IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE READ IN A LONG TIME. FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE, I WAS INSTANTLY DRAWN INTO THE STORY. WE MEET SUMMER AND MAX, TWO BROKEN PEOPLE WHO NEEDED TO HEAL. WHEN THEY MEET FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT AS IF SUMMER AND MAX HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOREVER. FROM THAT MOMENT ON, SUMMER AND MAX BEGIN TO HEAL EACH OTHER. BOTH ENCOURAGE THE OTHER TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS AND TO BEGIN THE HEALING PROCESS. SUMMER AND MAX REALIZE THAT THEY HAVE FOUND THEIR SOULMATE. WILL THEIR LOVE SURVIVE THE OBSTACLES, THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND CHALLENGES THEY FACE?
I REALLY LOVED COLOURBLIND. IT WAS DEFINITELY AN EMOTIONAL ROLLORCOASTER THROUGHOUT THE BOOK. I WANTED TO LAUGH AND CRY WITH THE CHARACTERS AT TIME. I COULD FEEL THEIR PAIN AND HAPPINESS. IT WAS A FAST READ FOR ME BECAUSE I WAS SO DRAWN IN THE STORYLINE AND THE CHARACTERS. I LOVE B.L. WILDE'S STORYLINE AND CHARACTERS. HAVING HER CHARACTERS HAVING ISSUES WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS AND ABUSE BROUGHT SO MUCH MORE TO THE CHARACTERS AND STORY. IT MADE THE STORY AND CHARACTERS FEEL SO REAL. I LOVE SUMMER AND MAX TOGETHER. THEIR LOVE WAS SO DEEP AND STRONG AND YOU COULD TRULY FEEL HOW MUCH THEY LOVED EACH OTHER. THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM WAS SO REAL AND YOU COULD FEEL IT IN THE AUTHOR'S WRITING.
BY FAR, I THINK THIS ONE OF B.L. WILDE'S BEST BOOKS. I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS BOOK BUT TO HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ IT. IT WAS SO GOOD. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE OF B.L. WILDE'S BOOKS. SHE IS A WONDERFUL WRITER AND IS DEFINITELY A FAVORITE OF MINE. 5 STARS
