True Colours

True Colours is a very sweet and well-written story of second chances and missed love. It's an engaging and warm story between two exes who, under some misunderstandings broke up and meet again 3 years later. It's the details about their current plight and their past all meshed together that makes this story so fun and enjoyable to read.

My heart broke a few times for the main heroine, Kate as she fights her past demons and struggles to have a new life. While her current life is somewhat happy and peaceful, fate once again brought her ex-fiance, Saul back into her life. What I really enjoyed reading about Kate was that she seemed very down to earth and vulnerable. It's as I imagined what any normal girl would do when facing an ex-fiance - run and do anything to prevent falling for him again. However, Saul isn't such a bad guy although he is kind of stoic and straight-laced in my opinion.

Saul is a tough businessman and quite successful. Ladies chase after him and through many misconceptions and misunderstandings, I truly wanted to shake Kate for judging Saul too harshly. Of course Saul had his share of miscommunications - which everything would have worked out in the past had he tried harder to get Kate to understand.

The reason that Kate and Saul broke off their engagement was due to a huge misunderstanding. At first I was on Kate's side until Kate's mom intervened and then we find out what truly happened back then. Saul however, still loves Kate and wants to win her back. Why he took 3 years to do so however was kind of frustrating. I suppose it was that specific timeline that the author chose to bring these two lovers back together again.

Kate ofcourse had never stopped loving Saul. Although he was kind of tough on her, the author brilliantly wrote his insecurities as well. While Saul was written to be unbending and straight forward, it was easy to see that he truly cared for Kate and wanted to win her back.

True Colours is a sweet story and the pacing is fantastic. It's easily a book you can read in one sitting and a great story about second chance love between two people who should have never broken up in the first place.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

This was a surprisingly pleasant read. When I requested this book I was looking for something light, sweet and well written and that's exactly what I got.
I liked the main characters, Kate and Saul even if I didn't always understand their actions or reasoning behind them. The story was interesting and kept my attention (the fact that I read the book in one sitting tells a lot). It's a sweet story and the pacing is fantastic. It's a second chance love kind of story and I'm not always fan of those but I think this one was done well. The reason I didn't give the book 5 stars is the fact that it was never explained why Kate wouldn't allow Saul to explain (both times) and why Saul didn't try harder (it just didn't make sense). And I was also disappointed in the end when they're about to have "the big talk", the book just skips over it. They about to talk it out and the next scene is after they're done. I missed the talk. I wanted to know how exactly they explained their actions to eacother and their reactions and feelings... But other than that I think the book was good and I recommend it to anyone who's looking for a sweet, easy story to read and relax.

Lydia told Kate she had her ex fiance on the phone. On other man had swept Kate off her feet and offered her the world . Nor declared on bended knee, in front of all their love and declare that their love would last forever. Also no other man, a month before his and Kate’s wedding , had been discovered in his London Art Gallery with his assistant Claudia, who looked as though she was in the middle of a game of strip poker.They had split up three years ago. Kate went off to Lydia then Saul said he would rather not speak to Kate either but he needed to see her about a wedding. Now Kate knew she should have stayed in bed. Saul had only allowed one woman to get close to him -Kate- and that had been a huge mistake and not one he’d make again. Affairs of the heart weren’t for Saul. Kate thought what did Saul think he was doing invading her space. She had worked heart to build this wall around herself. Kate and Lydia were partners in a very successful translation business, which they had started just over two years ago. Kate didn’t want Saul poking his nose into that. She didn’t want him rummaging around in any part of her life, let alone her office, making suggestions for improvements. Lydia was Kate’s closest friend. Saul told Lydia he came as his sister Marie was getting married and wanted Kate to attend. Kate had accepted the invitation but now she regretted it. Then Saul helped her through the crowd when she couldn’t breathe , Saul told her after the inhaler was almost empty and sh knew why it hadn’t seemed to be working it wasn’t Saul after all. Later on Saul Kate dance and he wondered who she was dancing with. Kate could sense Saul was watching her. She should have went back to London when she had the excuse of her asthma. Instead she ignored that instinct of survival and went with the crowd. Then Saul asked Kate to dance with him just one time and during the dance he kissed her. Saul texted and wanted to see Kate so she let him come up to her apartment. No matter how many times she saw him, her heart would always miss a beat when their eyes first met. Kate agreed to meet with Saul the next day expecting an apology for kissing her. Instead he gave her a business proposition . He said he was going to Majorca in a weeks time time. To visit with Alicia Gonzales - 0ne of Spain’s most promising artists. He needed an interpreter and he would only take her or he would take his business elsewhere. Kate knew they needed the prestige that Saul’s name would bring her business. Also his money as Lydia had announced that the latest translation memory software was a lot more expensive than they expected. So Kate agreed to go with some stipulations of her own. Kate used to work for Saul. when she had been first hired on Saul was still managing director of Preston Aviation. He asked his secretary to find who was a good technical German translator that would also be able to travel to Germany with him.
I loved this book. It was a very romantic read that took me one setting to read. Boy I give Saul all the props in the world not once but twice he was innocent of cheating but Kate would not listen to him or give him a chance to prove his innocence. I don’t understand why Kate immediately thought he was guilty unless I missed something other than she tended to keep people at arms length. I felt the author portrayed a person with asthma realistically. I liked that Saul stayed close to her mother even after she left him and he confided into her Kate’s mother the truth even though he had her promise to never tell Kate and she broke that promise. I could not find anything to criticize in this book happily. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend it.
