This was alright, I thought it would be a lot more involved than it was. The trauma was both glossed over and dwelt on - it was there and it happened and it hung over everything but they never really deal with it. They just brush it off whenever it starts getting inconvenient to the story. And it kind of dragged. It started to feel like this book was a lot longer than it was. I liked the rest of the hockey team but I didn't love them. I found the whole puck bunnies thing off putting as well. 1.5 stars.… (más)

Wow

I had never heard of this author before I saw an amazing teaser on IG. I was hooked from that moment. Rockstar romances are so hit and miss for me. This is mainly because music is my life. I don't want anyone disturbing or ruining it for me. I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that this author did it justice.

Everything, and I mean everything, from the cover to the characters, to the lifestyle (drugs, addiction, groupies) is all there. It is gritty. Hell, Revel might be one of the grittier Rock heroes I have read and he was sublime. His demons, his indifference, and his addiction to Red (Taylan) was everything. I was 100% on board no matter how rocky the journey it was. And, trust me it was. Tay, sweet lord, her story was also a testament to how hard it is to live when your life is dictated from a young age. I loved watching her evolve and come into her own person. However, it wasn't as much watching her lose her innocence as much as watch her interact with Rev. Those moments were fire. They shouldn't have worked but they both bit that apple and the poison, so to speak, was in them both. I'm not sure if poison is the right word here, it was more like a truth serum in which they got to take off their mask and be free. The steamy times? Yeah, this was a five-alarm fire. The anticipation building up to them and their chemistry was almost as good. They steam didn't overpower the story. If anything, it enhanced the moments it was showcased because as hot as it was, the priority was this amazing sublime connection.

I will DEFINITELY be looking for more from this amazing author. This is definitely a top 2020 book.… (más)
