"You captured me from day one, Rae. You tethered your soul to mine the very moment I walked through that door. You became the reason I breathe, and now I don’t know how to do life without you.”
I want to say first that this author is truly talented. She came up with a fantastic plot and basic details for this book. I can tell she put effort in what she rights and I love that I can vision this story so clearly.
My low score is I NEEDED MORE.... this story lacked details and even the order of this book. Between some back story, to college, to bakv story to etc.. I felt like the boon was everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
The "dark" moments were tragic and heartbreaking and I wanted more. I want to see more growth and pain.
I didn't like the mmc... I needed him to be more or even less.. I just needed him to be human if that's makes sense.

Way too many plot holes and things that just didn’t make sense

I struggled with the graphic content of this. I finished it out of obligation to the character to see her succeed but I was angry for most of it. Took away from the romance.
DNF, I can’t. The beginning of the book was so promising. Got to page 374
I don’t know how she does it, but her writer books that tear your soul out and then slowly puts it back where it belongs. I started this book at 3am and I had to put it down cuz of work. I just finished it and it was amazing. Ezra and Rae’s epic love story was everything I needed it to be and more. It was a journey and I was excited to go on this with them. We saw everything they went through. Sheridan made it seem like we were right on stage with them. I couldn’t put this book down, and when I did I was jonesing to finish it. Like an addict I needed it now. If I could give this book a million stars i would.

This one left me incredibly disappointed. There was so much shock factor, and it all seemed unnecessary and over the top.
More than anything, I can't get past how much Rae did to support the guys—hand-making flyers, finding them gigs, calling record companies, etc—and then, the second they get news about a record deal, the guys ditch Rae in the middle of a parking lot to go party with "some girls" that Rock knows. To top it all off, Ezra himself gives Rae his car keys and tells her to drive herself home, fully aware that she can't even legally drive yet. This behavior felt wildly out of character for him, and the strong sense of disappointment it gave me made it hard to understand how anyone could proceed to find his character likable.
Of course, this is just one of many, many things that made me go "wtf" while reading this story, but it's the one that really turned me off and gave me the ick, especially since Ezra's explanation for this during his 'redemption arc' was simply that he was just an idiot back then. Wow. Ground-breaking stuff. Obviously, that explanation didn't cut it for me. But then again, the explanation for just about everything else in this book didn't cut it for me either.

Raleigh Stone is forced back into the life of her childhood love that left her behind for fame. Thinking he did her a favor to allow her to live her life the way she wanted away from the rockstar life on the road, Ezra Knight comes to learn the secrets that were kept from him for years that would've changed everything.
I love this book, as I do many of Sheridan’s books. I cried throughout more than I thought I would. It tore my heart out and stomped on it a good bit before bandaging it back up and nursing it back to health. I love Ezra and will be adding him to my ever-growing list of book boyfriends. 😍
“You’re still in love with her.” And without a moment of hesitation, I nod, feeling the weight of my heart burning to ashes inside my chest. “I never fucking stopped.”
“I’m here because despite how much pain I feel inside my soul, I need my family more than I ever have before, and as much as I hate it, Ezra is part of that family. Hell, he’s my whole damn home.“
“I loved you, Ezra. Since the day I met you at thirteen years old, I have loved you, but fuck. For the last eight years, I have done nothing but hate you.”
