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.
Color Me Pretty
is such a soulful, beautiful read. The life and times of an American girl, who
over time falls deeply in love with Theo, a man who helped raise her. Her father’s
best friend. With her father no longer around, Della relents to her feelings and
there is no turning back. The problem is ... everyone knows that Theo has been
a part of her life since she was little. The disapproving stares and whispers
behind their backs is their main concern. How will the town feel about a
relationship between two life-long friends, when they’re 20 years apart?
I honestly love
every book that B. Celeste has written. Every one of them is down to earth,
real life events that unfold. Never anything outlandish or impossible.
Actually, very probable. Her descriptions and background knowledge show that
she does her research and I just love that about Ms. Celeste. Please continue
to write and give us what we so desperately crave!

I bent down and
kissed her again, groaning when her tongue swiped mine. “If I don’t come inside
you at least once tonight, I’ll probably die, sweetheart. That would be a real
shame, wouldn’t it?” -Theo, Color Me Pretty
“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.”
B. Celeste’s
obsession with all things forbidden and taboo enabled her to pave a path into a
new world of raw, real, emotional romance.
Her debut novel
is The Truth about Heartbreak.
