When you read a great first book in a series, you wonder if the sequel will be better or worse. Well, in this case, the second book was just as good as the first one! Great story, great pace and great characters!
The magic of this story is that both characters had met in college and had a strong attraction; for two months they were inseparable. Then Landon Cox had to make a choice: his music or his girl. He needed money, so he chose the music. Six years later, Landon is a manwhore, immersed in a world of drugs and booze and groupies, but he’s lonely in a world of partying. There’s not a day that he doesn’t remember the girl he lost.
Piper has been working for Travis Taggert for three years. Travis is the agent of the Nothing But Trouble band, but she has managed to keep away from Landon for all those years. Even the previous year, when she had been working with Delaney in mitigating Shane’s scandal, she had kept away because she was working exclusively with Delaney. Until one day Delaney decides to give Shane a surprise visit, and Piper takes her to the venue and has a surprise encounter with Landon.
Their chemistry is as hot and electrifying as always, they still feel for each other and succumbed to their attraction. However, Piper is ambitious in her job and cannot socialize with a client. Yet, Landon succeeds in being assigned to Piper’s care. This couple has such strong feelings for each other, and so many obstacles to surpass. Piper is still hurt by Landon’s sudden abandonment without an excuse, and she’s still hurting from her current boyfriend’s cheating. Landon is broken, in the sense that he had a family he lost. They have a lot of comings and goings, a lot of passion and caring is expressed, but the story feels like a star-crossed lovers, where they can’t get a break. There’s a lot of heartbreak and misunderstandings, separations and searching for themselves. The environment they live in is an obstacle, but their friends are a huge support system.
I like the characters that this author portrays. They are broken but strong. Piper comes from a stable home but is unloved by her father, so she has learned to look perfect, make everyone believe she’s fine even though she’s breaking inside. She’s driven and kind. Landon comes from crack addicted parents, suffered abuse, and lost his adopted family through his own actions. He has a strong sense of guilt and of being “nothing but trouble” to any woman. Yet, he volunteers at a dog shelter unanimously and is generous. In spite of their differences, their hearts want each other and they make their way.
Very riveting and fascinating, this story is as addictive as Rock King, very heartfelt, a real page-turner. The pace and the story never lagged!
