Review
I was gifted this book through the Crazy Daisy Book Whore blog on Facebook.
Let me start by saying when I read the blurb and snippets of reviews about crying and such I thought for sure i wouldn't be one of those...well I was WRONG! I bawled my eyes out. This is a powerful story and easily relatable because I remember my ownemotions during 9/11 and after. I felt very connected to Brittan and Cane from the beginning. I love that this book starts out going over the past that Brittan shared with Cane. it really helped you connect with her character and feel the love of their relationship. You have to really connect with that part of the story to be able to connect with the rest of the story.
When the book starts Brittan is in rehab and reflecting on her past when she was 15 and just met Cane and from then on their relationship grew to epic proportions for being so young. You can feel their love and chemistry but also their respect and acceptance of each others lives. I love that we get their entire story before the rest of the story takes place. It made the story more enjoyable because I was never waiting to know what happened before that made her the way she is. By having the first part of the book about the past you were able to feel her emotions and understand her character all the better.
The book switches to present day and Brittan has now gone through rehab and is sober and fixing to try living her a life that would make Cane, her friends and family proud of her. What she didn't plan on was dancing with a sexy stranger who all of sudden evokes strong feelings from her that will eventually change her life. This is where another awesome surprise comes in for me...the dual POV.
Jordon Valentine guitarist for newly discovered rock band who knows he is a sexy rock god and has the skills to back it up. We first meet him in the tour kick off celebration when him and Brittan share one sexy as hell dance (maybe more but you have to read to find out). I could tell that these two have some explosive sexual chemistry and I just couldn't wait to see how it all played out.
Of course Brittan is has a triple reinforced wall built around her heart to avoid any more pain that can come of losing love, but she just can not get Jordon Valentine out of her head. She isn't used to having thoughts of a man beyond quick hot sex and she starts to struggle with her feelings toward Jordon and her feelings for Cane. This is where I really love this authors writing style, because unlike most authors she doesn't make you spend more that halfthe book being pissed off at the two characters for tap dancing around each other. She makes them real and honest. She makes them communicate and open up to the possibilities of their budding relationship. I will admit I spent a good part waiting for the other shoe to drop and the big blow up to take place where they leave each other only to come crawling back a few pages later...but alas I was WRONG again. and that is a really good thing.
I love this book. It is emotional, edgy and erotic when it needs to be. It is sweet and loving. It is fun and entertaining.
Happy reading!!!
EXCERPT
As tears begin to fall again, I laugh nervously, “Who are you and what did you do with the cocky asshole I met in Miami? He was easier to hate.”
A killer grin spreads across Jordon’s face, as his eyes twinkle in the lights above us. They are hypnotizing and causing me to fall deeper under his spell, “Ahh, so you admit my irresistible rock god looks and my magic fingers are winning you over?”
The thought of what those fingers have done to me sends a shiver of desire coursing through my body and stopping between my thighs, only to intensify.
He teasingly slides his fingers ever so slowly down my arm, causing goose bumps to blanket every inch of me.
Trying to act like he isn’t getting to me, I toss my head back and purse my lips, “I never said that…I just said I don’t hate you as much as I did a few weeks ago.”
Pinning me on my back, Jordon stares down at me with a glimmer of desire in his eyes that takes my breath away. His lips curl up into a cocky grin, “Oh, baby. There’s no denying it, you like me. I can see it in those gorgeous brown eyes of yours.” Leaning down he presses a soft kiss to the tip of my nose causing me to suck in a sharp breath of air. Pulling back he watches me, as he waits for me to try and deny it some more.
He gets a rise out of our back and forth bantering, but I’m going to surprise him by admitting what he already knows to be true. He deserves a little ego boost after the fantastic day he’s given me.
“Okay…maybe a little.” I say breathlessly, as my chest rises and falls at a rapid pace. I melt under Jordon’s intense gaze.
“Holy shit! She finally admits it! She likes me!” Jordon shouts, shooting up and raising his hands in the air.
