"Yeah, and you're the sexiest fucking thing I've ever seen in my life. Sleep well, Firecracker."
Absolutely fantastic!! This book was amazing! I loved everything about it. Lyla was hilarious and strong and Tom was the most perfect alpha male. This book made me fall back in love with TMS. Tom may not be Jake, but he is a damn close second! The chemistry between Lyla and Tom was hot as hell and their backstories were heartbreaking. I couldn't be more depressed that this is the end of TMS. Fingers crossed that Samantha Towle decides to give us another book someday ❤️
Hmmm....
I like both Tom and Layla. I like their back stories - although Tom's doesn't come out till almost the end. Their chemistry is definitely there BUT...
I do know something just made this my least favorite of the series. What was it? I have no idea. The main story is kind of played out so maybe that added to my mediocre review.

This was a perfect end to a perfect series. I've laughed, cried and fanned myself cause oh my Tom is one hot mut lol. And then there's Lyla oh how much do I love her, she is one seriously fabulous chick and hell I hope my girls end up like her. If you loved the other TMS books then you will love this one as well. Absolutely bloody fabulous!

It's been such a long time since I read The Mighty Storm so I was a little fuzzy on everything about Tom. But that kind of worked in my favor because I didn't have any expectations for how he should act. One of my biggest pet peeves is when a character has an established personality in early books and then changes in their own. So without having read TMS recently, I didn't have those expectations.
I loved this book so much that I just devoured it. I had forgotten how much I loved Samantha Towle's writing. The connection the characters have to music is by far one of my favorite aspects. It's almost like a living and breathing character itself. One thing I regret is not making a list of the songs talked about in the book. I did that with TMS and wish I'd done that this time.

Tom was a surprise alpha hero to me. I totally wasn't expecting it from him but it worked. I loved the banter between Lyla and Tom. The name calling (Firecracker for him, Mut for her)...when they weren't steaming up the screen of my kindle, they were making me laugh. And don't even get me started on the chemistry between them, it was off the charts.
There were a few times that I wanted to smack Tom. He had a mouth on him and he knew how to use it (get your mind out of the gutter! I mean he could cut you to the quick with his words!). Tom was running scared and fighting his feelings at every turn. My one wish with this was seeing more of him coming to terms with his feelings. We saw the turning point but not how he goes about making changes. The next time we see him it's in Lyla's POV and we just get told what happened.
One other issue I had was how quickly Lyla forgave Dex. I mean, I get it. The situation was dire and he needed some hope. But I guess I wish there had been more info to show how bad off he was before that happened. But, I also hold grudges and seeing as how you get the betrayal scene as the first scene in the book...I wasn't about to forgive him.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It's definitely a must read for all Samantha Towle fans and anyone that loves rock star romances. :)

when the rock star Tom falls he falls hard for Lyla. Also gives a great peek into the life of a budding rock star and the rough life they life at first.
