Love is one dare neither of them can take...
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 bucket list and fight the simmering attraction between them...knowing that once it's all over, so is their time together.

YOU’RE STILL THE ONE is a charming, heartwarming, story with engaging characters and an entertaining storyline. This is the first book in the Country Blues series and each one is a standalone. This story centers on Charlie Tucker, a famous country musician. Charlie loves music and is thankful for his success but he tired of everything else that comes with fame. He tries to keep a low profile yet he continually gets negative press and his record label is not happy.
Charlie and Arabella are thrown together when they spend the summer working together. The last time Charlie saw Arabella she was a young girl and now she is a beautiful woman. Charlie has to keep reminding himself to keep his hands off of Arabella because she is his boss’s daughter. He finds Arabella refreshing and different from all the other women he normally meets and Charlie enjoys spending time with her. Arabella is sweet and likes Charlie for himself, not because he is famous. Arabella has had a crush on Charlie for years, but she doesn’t have a lot of confidence. She assumes she has nothing to offer a man, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
I loved Charlie and Arabella together and they seem to bring out the best in each other. However, they each have their reasons for keeping their feeling to themselves. It takes Charlie a while to stop fighting his heart and let down his guard. He likes women and enjoys spending time with them but has no desire for a relationship. However, once he meets Arabella, he starts to think differently. Charlie and Arabella start off as friends, their relationship slowly builds and there is loads of sexual tension between them. Rachel Harris does a great job portraying two people as they slowly fall in love.
