MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
This book grabbed my attention from the very first page with its storyline set in the rockstar world and a romance between two very different people who are oh so right together. Issues related to the band, as seen in the previous book in this series, run parallel to the action here and have me wanting to go back and read that book even though this installment stands strongly on its own. It had the bandmates bonding as a family, trying to support each other through each doubt while gaining the fame they desperately want. The rocky road for the band seen there, along with the emotional speed bumps here, ultimately made this a story that kept me on the edge of my seat while playing with my heartstrings in a richly rewarding journey to HEA for everyone.
Jace Devereaux met Alex when they were still trying to find their place in the world, young and on the cusp of something big. They were both hungry for something more...as well as feeling an instant attraction brewing between them. An unforgettable bond was forged between them one night but from that moment on their dreams came first with clandestine hook-ups bringing them together from time to time. It soon becomes clear though that they want more from each other and readers get to see just how important they are to one another in a journey full of angst, tough decisions, and sizzling chemistry. Jace is a delicious hero, a smart and sexy drummer with talent to burn. He's a driving force for the band behind the scenes, and is content to stay in the background too. He's steady and sure, loyal and kind to others, a strong support to his bandmates through all the ups and downs bands experience. He and Alex were a delight with their playful friendship, scorching and secretive couplings, and a connection teeming with sexual tension from the moment they first met. I was captivated by all they went through to be together, the joys and fears as they never wanted to lose themselves by being a couple, they just wanted each other in a journey that had me cheering by the turn of the final page.
Alex LeRoux is a wonderful heroine, strong-willed but kind and compassionate, laser focused from a young age to take the media world by storm while rescuing every animal along the way. She finds someone equally ambitious in Jace, as well as a combustible attraction. She clearly wants him from the moment she meets him, but in order to achieve her dreams a real relationship will just have to wait. Years of secret meetups and erotically-charged messages soon aren't enough though...and that's when things become REALLY difficult for these friends to become lovers as they need to learn how to juggle work with play with obligations to others as well as obligations to themselves. Fate may have brought them together but fame might very well keep them from HEA unless they can figure out how to make it all work. Theirs is a rocky journey, fun and flirty early on before turning more serious through heartfelt emotions and drama from the outside.
Though this is only Ms. Winter's second book, I'm impressed by how well-paced it is along with how realistically it's depicted. Readers get an in-depth tour of the rockstar world with all the backstage drama as well as all the sexy and glamorous times the band finds themselves in. Jace and Alex's secret meetings were like an oasis for them, a time to block out everything else and just be with each other. I loved their scenes together as they made me laugh, cry, and put a smile and a blush on my face. The issues they dealt with along the way played on every one of my emotions and had me rooting for them every step of the way. Along with this enjoyable main couple, readers got to again see Tyler and Zoey (and see everything Ty went through in the last book from a different perspective here) and their captivating romance. Add in fellow bandmates Zane and Connor and I was absolutely in heaven as the boys of LTZ utterly charmed me with their sexy looks and decadently delightful personalities. On a whole there's much to love about this book and its characters, a sexy and emotional rollercoaster ride to HEA, and I'm now left counting down the days until Connor takes center stage next!
My rating for this is an A.
