Arabella Stone, Nashville’s darling, is eager to shuck her prim-and-proper rep, and a few wild months spent checking items off her “ summer bucket list” is the way to do it. First up: kiss the man she’s crushed on since she wore a training bra, the bad boy of country himself, Blue bassist Charlie Tucker.

For Charlie, a beautiful woman flirting with him isn’t out of the norm—but a beautiful woman bolting after the hottest kiss of his life sure is. And when he finds out his kiss-and-run Cinderella is none other than Arabella Stone, daughter of his label’s CEO, he knows he’s in trouble. Because not only is she a Stone, she’s also his employee for the next few months at the recording studio he just bought.

Over the course of one thrilling summer, Arabella and Charlie chip away at her list, but once it ends, so does their time together.

You’re Still the One:

I received an e-arc of You’re Still the One by Rachel Harris from Entangled Publishing and InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. This has in no way influenced my thoughts and feelings about the book.

I have quite a few Rachel Harris books to date but surprising none of her young adult ones. I find that her New Adult ones are so fun to read and I can normally read them in a day, two at the most and it was no different from You’re Still the One.

You’re Still the One follows protagonist Arabella Stone who is Nashville’s precious gem as she knocks off items from her bucket list while she is away from her over protective by loving father. Arabella is the daughter of the CEO of Blue whom we have previous meet in Accidently Married on Purpose.

The first thing on this list is to kiss the man she has had a crush for what seems like forever; Charlie Tucker. The thing is that she is country music’s bad boy and he just happens to be the bassist for Blue.

I loved You’re Still the One. It was filled with funny, sexy and awkward moments that every Rachel Harris novel, but there something different about this one. Charlie was introduced to us in Accidently Married on Purpose and I loved him straight away. There is something about him that grabs your attention, so I was really glad that he has his own novel.

Charlie is used to having all the girls attention, but Arabella is different. They have met quite a number of times before, but he was too busy with this music and being chased by girls that the CEO’s daughter didn’t catch his eye. But there is something different about Arabella to Charlie, apart from running away after they shared a steamy kiss she has this drive that Charlie hasn’t seen before. And now that he is her boss, let’s just say things get interesting.

I really did love Charlie. We get to see him grow throughout the novel and fall for Arabella, slowly. He was adorable sometimes, especially with his sister and niece. He handle things that is new for Rachel Harris, but I loved it so much. He cared so much for this family and what had happened and wanted to protect them with everything his got.

Arabella is very awkward and fun. She has liked Charlie forever, but has never really done anything about it. It loved her interactions with Charlie. She was a very easy protagonist to love. She wasn’t whiney or annoying, she is the person that everyone wants to be friends with.

The romance was adorable. Arabella and Charlie fumble around each other and get up to all sorts of stuff as they cross things off her bucket list. Some of the things that they get up to cause quite a bit of drama, however the drama that you love to read.

I also love that we get to see the rest of Blue and the band and there some adorable scenes that had me squealing, there is also some foreshadowing towards the next book in this series.

I have a love/hate relationships with books that include a musical person, you know the ones where the protagonist just pops put a guitar and starts signing – yer I really dislike those. Nevertheless, You’re Still the One is different, the band has already been together for quite a while and they are just building.

Overall, I really enjoyed You’re Still the One. It had all the Rachel Harris swoon worthy moments and had me flipping page after page. You’re Still the One reminds us that stardom isn’t everything. Behind every close door someone could be tearing themselves apart and that some people need a little light in their lives.
