Too Good at Goodbyes Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 110 ratings

Too Good at Goodbyes, an all new standalone from USA Today bestselling author RC Boldt takes us inside the life of Simone King, the "Ice Princess of Pop" and her new bodyguard, Kane Windham, who may be the only person to have the power to melt the ice around her heart.

First Top 40 hit at age seventeen?
My first tabloid breakup scandal quickly followed.
Earned my first Grammy? Discovered Mommy Dearest was embezzling my money.
Landed a leading role in a movie? My fiancé called off our engagement the next day.

I might have a multi-million-dollar recording contract, a sold-out world tour, and more money in the bank than I ever imagined, but every time I hit a milestone in my career, my personal life suffers.

Then in steps my new bodyguard, rugged and with a past I connect with. The closer we get, the more powerful my feelings grow, complicating our professional relationship.

I thought Kane would be different. I hoped he’d be the one man to stand by my side, undaunted by the fame and attention that trails me.

The press calls me the “Ice Princess of Pop” because of my unyielding façade throughout heartbreak and betrayal. Perhaps it’s time to show them the real me.

With every syllable, I pour out my emotions and allow them to puddle, forming lyrics from my soul’s breath. And with each word, my broken heart cries out for Kane, begging him to help me break this pattern.

To help me stop being so damn good at goodbyes.

    Kane & Simone, so so perfect.

    Truly loved this book, it deserves more than 5 stars!

    If you want to read a beautiful romance, this is the book for you.

    I certainly recommend it 😁

    Too Good At Goodbyes is a story with a lot of charm. I really like the writing style. Simone and Kane are very likable individuals. It was easy to relate to them. I was quickly drawn in and captivated by their tale. I didn’t want to put it down. If you like Rockstar romances or even if they’re not your normal read I’d recommend this one. You may be pleasantly surprise by it.

    Another fantastic read from Ms Boldt. I love all of this authors books, but this one might be my new favourite. Thank you.

    Too Good at Goodbyes combines two of my favourite genres: rock stars and Marines. This fact alone had me eager to begin reading, but the stellar writing and emotion are what kept me engaged in Kane and Simone's story.

    Simone is painted as cold, but in reality, she is far from it; she hides behind this image. Kane is also in hiding. Broken hearted, he takes on the temporary role of Simone's head of security as a much needed change of scenery. Kane is a man of few words and a professional until he gets to meet the real Simone.

    I loved the quirky addition of text messages, song lyrics, news reports and interviews sprinkled throughout Too Good at Goodbyes. It gave the story an edge and made me feel like I was getting the inside story on the Ice Princess of Pop.

    This book was a great read. It is full of love, loyalty and heartache. I really felt a part of the lives of these characters, not just the romance between the two leads, but the whole cast of characters.
    I especially liked the ending of this novel. I am not a fan of the extended epilogue; however, the way the author presented this epilogue had me interested until the end. I look forward to reading more by RC Boldt.

    I received an ARC from Give Me Books and RC Boldt for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

    This is another RC Boldt book where I had a highlight in almost every chapter! Which translates to the fact I really, REALLY liked this book! When I found out RC was going to have a few copies of this book on hand at Shameless, I knew I needed to be one of the first in line for her. I really wanted the new book and getting her signature on it made it all that much more special.

    Simone King has been dubbed the “Ice Princess of Pop”. Having been in not so stellar relationships and an ex fiancé, she isn’t the most trusting of people. While on the outside she may not look like the sweetest, but secretly she honors Make a Wish children and spend as much time as allotted before her performances. Having her drummer Isaac with a little girl whose cancer has come back, it really hits home for Simone.

    Kane Windham has been trying to get his life back after the love of his life left him. However, he got a phone call to be a bodyguard for Simone. After spending some time around her he starts to realize that not everything he has heard isn’t true. Simone really is a good person, but not everyone has her best interest at heart. Can Kane keep Simone safe? Or will he destroy her by breaking her heart?

    Normally I don’t like rock star books, but I was intrigued because most rock star books is based on the rock star being male. There aren’t that many out there where the rock/pop star is female. I also really liked the fact this book was pop star/bodyguard love story.

    When Simone sang a song for Zoe at the military base I boo ho cried like a little baby. I don’t think I have ever cried so early on in a book and I also haven’t read a good emotional book like this in a bit. I did have to put it down several times, merely to wipe my tears away and regroup.

    Matthias Tobin aka Matty is Simone’s best guy friend. I think he really enjoys calling her a hussy and it might be his second most used word in his vocabulary! Kane did not play with Matty the first time they met. Then again who the heck knocks on your door at 5 o’clock in the morning! Matty is a freaking hoot and needs his own book. One of my favorite parts is when Matty sings in a country twang, “Mama’s, don’t let your babies grow up to be big-burly-security-guards-who-pin-you-to-the-walllllll" Matty was able to make me laugh with his own spin on Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears. Made me relive part of my middle school social life of endless nights of karaoke!

    I looked up every GIF mentioned in this book so I could get a true feel of what the characters felt and saw. I loved the Frodo Bagins “All right then, kept your secrets” and the Samuel L Jackson crazy eyes expression! I loved the text messages that was written into this book. I also liked the press releases, whether good or bad, I liked that they were written into the books as well.

    I loved how the Texas Moses fell in love with the Ice Princess! I recommend this book as it’s officially my favorite for 2019. All the feels with this book and make sure you have tissues!

    Another excellent story from RC Boldt!
    "The Ice Princess of Pop", Simone King, lives her life under microscopic scrutiny from the press, her friends - and her foes alike. Nothing is sacred and often it's just a downright lie that she has no chance of refuting...
    Enter Kane Windham, employed as her temporary head of security while her regular chap is on a belated honeymoon. Yes, he's on a downer where women are concerned - and rightly so!
    He starts work with the impression everyone has of Simone...DIVA...but to his surprise over time he discovers little by little, that she's not quite as she's portrayed.
    As they both learn more about the other, the doors open and feelings appear. But it's never plain sailing and human nature being what it is, we jump to conclusions, frequently wrong, that make things hard when you're both scared of your feelings and not being sure if the other feels the same.
    It was an absolute pleasure to have this lovely story unfold.
    Highly recommended!

    I have been reading Boldt's books for a few years now. Not to toot my own horn, but I like to think that I have become an expert on her books. I peddle them out like candy on Halloween. With that being said, I went into this one with trepidation. I am not usually a fan of "rock star" books. They're just not my thing. I thought this might be the book of hers that didn't grab me...

    Boy was I WRONG! I swear I am not being biased. I really wasn't sure if I should read this. However, I wouldn't be an honest reviewer if I didn't, would I? I can, without a doubt, say that Boldt DID IT AGAIN! She wrote away from her "norm" and hit it out of the park!

    I enjoyed the push and pull full of angst this book delivered. Boldt is really good with giving you all of the angst when she wants to. The angst in this one is the best part of the book. You want things to happen, but at the same time you want it to go slow so you can savor it.

    This book is the perfect combination of angst, drama, friends to lovers, boss to lovers romance. You don't want to pass this one up!

    Fact or fiction?
    I loved this book SO. EFFING. MUCH.

    That is FACT.

    This pop star/bodyguard romance was emotional, full of heart, and made me feel everything. It gave me so many smiles, plenty of tingles, and also a few tears.

    I fell for the Simone & Kane immediately. It wasn’t hard to do. These well-developed characters are so lovable and broken and strong, yet vulnerable, and they ended up finding a place in my heart.

    Kane is Simone’s bodyguard, filling in for her usual guy for three months. He was expecting the beautiful singer/actress to be what the tabloids made her out to be...a cold-hearted, spoiled little brat, used to getting everything she wants. But what he witnessed was something entirely different. The media is way off.

    The so called Ice Princess has a huge heart of gold. She has a lot more depth than what people think. She’s generous and kind and super talented and humble... how could he not be attracted to all of that.

    The chemistry between them was sizzling and their passion was intoxicating. With the turn of every page, I looked forward to watching them try to stay away from each other. Loved seeing their relationship grow.

    This well-written story captured my heart, I loved every second of it.

    And that my book friends is why you should just one-click anything RC Boldt writes. She has a way of telling a story that will have you so engrossed that you literally forget about everything going in around you. RC Boldt is a master storyteller. She grabs your attention from the first page and keeps that attention until the very last page.

    I loved everything about Kane and Simones story. We get every thing we love in a romance. I would highly recommend this book to any romance lover.
