Light Me Up (Three Little Words Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 920 ratings

For Rachel Hennessy, it’s been an interesting six months. Boyfriend? Cheated on her. Job? She totally just got fired. Starting her own wedding planning business sounds exciting … in theory. In reality, it’s completely terrifying. And on top of all that, the freaking cherry right on top? She just had an ill-timed, alcohol-instigated one-night stand with her bff Casey’s brother, Tate. Yeah, that Tate. The one that she’s had a teensy, inconvenient crush on for years.

But nothing about it is ill-timed or inconvenient for Tate Steadman. Because he finally feels free. Free of the oppressive relationship he’d been in for the past six years. Free to pursue Rachel, because one alcohol-fueled night was not even close to enough for him. He just wished she saw it that way. Because she makes him want more than he ever knew he was capable of.

When their one night has unexpected consequences, Rachel has no clue how to trust that he’s not just trying to be ‘the good guy’ who wants to do ‘the right thing’. And even though the chemistry between them practically burns down an entire city block when they’re together, she doesn’t know how to let down the concrete wall she’s built up around herself.

The ‘mistake’ of one evening can change the trajectory of two lives, but maybe a mistake is all they really need to push them right into true love.

*****
Light Me Up is a 93k word humorous contemporary romance with a moderate heat level. It's the second in a series of standalone novels. While it's not necessary to read the preceding book, By Your Side, there are recurring characters. The third book, Tell Them Lies, will release in the fall of 2015.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Karla Sorensen is a #1 Amazon bestselling author who refuses to read or write anything without a happily ever after. When she's not reading Dramione fanfic or avoiding the laundry, you can find her watching football (British & American), HGTV or listening to Enneagram podcasts so she can psychoanalyze everyone in her life, in no particular order of importance. With a degree in Advertising and Public Relations from Grand Valley State University, she made her living in senior healthcare prior to writing full-time. Karla lives in Michigan with her husband, two boys and a big, shaggy rescue dog named Bear.

    This was a quick read. Rachel and Tate. One night stand. Consequence of it. Rachel doesn’t want to be like her mom, so when she feels something is out of her control, she shuts it down. Tate has no clue why Rachel does some of the things she does, but he likes how she makes him feel and how he acts.

    I enjoyed reading Light Me Up! I definitely love a best friend’s brother romance. This trope is my go-to! Tate and Rachel did not disappoint! These two have electricity and sparks jumping from the pages! They have the ultimate connection! Their story is full of sweet, funny and absolutely in love moments! Can’t wait for the next book!

    Karla Sorensen is now my favorite romance author. Her characters are so three dimensional I can't help but get invested in their fictional lives. They have great friends, loving families, great chemistry with the love interest, the right amount of angst and conflict. The Washington Wolves series is one of my all time favorites. I put this author's release dates on my calendar so I can devour them as soon as they are available.
  • Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2025
    This was a DNF at 75%. I really liked Tate a lot and kept waiting for Rachel to realize what a great guy he was. I didn’t really like her rough edges and her reluctance to recognize how great she and Tate could be. At the point I ended it, I was thinking poor Tate…and his battered heart.
  • Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2021
    This book was cute, steamy, and was a rollercoaster. Emotions ran high between th is couple. It was interesting to get to know more about Tate, Rachel, and occasional snippets of the side characters. Definitely recommend if you read book 1.

    I wasn't expecting this story line, which made me love the unexpected twist even more. This book made me cry in all the best ways, melted my heart, and gave me all the warm and fuzzies a great love story should. Can't wait for to read the next book!
  • Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2022
    Aug. 20222 Saw myself in a Rachel's story! There was so much to relate to. Relationships between parents and children are so important; everyone's story is different as is every child.

    Reviewed in Germany on April 1, 2025
    Eigentlich hat die Autorin es drauf, gefühlvoll aber halbwegs realistisch zu schreiben.
    Bei diesem Buch? Einfach unglaubwürdig.
    Die Charaktere werden in den vorherigen Büchern ganz anders eingeführt, als sie hier jetzt.... Zerschrieben werden.

    Man muss großer Fan vom Christentum und dem mehret Euch sein, um diese Geschichte genießen zu können.
