I was given a copy of this book free by the author in exchange for an unbiased review.
Once again I was blown away by Willow's ability to reach out and drag you very willingly into the pages of their novels. This story focuses on how everybody has their own kind of prejudice and how sometimes ignoring that lets you get to know some really awesome people.
Both the main character Ty and the love interest Hale have preconceived ideas of what each other are like due to the band and genre of music they play. Forced to play together on tour for a few months they start out as enemies but as the lust gets higher they start to see each other in different lights and become friends.
I loved every part of it, even as I screamed at the characters to just TALK. Definitely an author to follow and keep buying books from!

I'm not quite sure where I fall on this book. I enjoyed parts, and I hated parts. I thought the whole "hardcore vs post-hardcore" thing was kind of ridiculous, maybe you have to be familiar with that "scene" to get it. I liked the dynamic between the MCs and I hated the dynamic between the MCs. I liked Tyler, I liked Hale, I liked them together at points. The banter was great in spots. But other parts left me annoyed. Tyler being so afraid to come out didn't feel real. It felt like fake angst. Hale was kind of a jerk too, he acted like Tyler was such a repressed closet-case who jumped to conclusions about who Hale was, but he did the exact same to Tyler. That's where the dynamic started to feel skewed in one direction. It felt like Tyler couldn't do anything right. And Hale was an innocent bystander who played no role in it. But he gave as good as he got, and antagonized just as much. Still it was entertaining and there were some parts that made me smile. There was a huge editing error right in the middle of an important scene that kind of killed the flow and ruined the moment. Hopefully that's just a review copy thing and is fixed in the book.
