Every time I hear this song, I think of this book and how truly heartbroken I felt for Lennon and Rain suffering through what every parent fears.
***ARC received in exchange for honest review
I shackle both of Rain’s wrists above her
head, so she cannot escape.
She rasps but doesn’t struggle against my
bond. Those desert-blue-sky eyes smolder and lock onto mine.
I slam my groin into her, my cock hard
and throbbing for her. “Why are you here? To torture me?”
She blinks at me. “Huh?”
“You look so fucking hot. Why would you
come here? Why would you hurt me like this?” I smash my lips into hers, hungry
and hot, and she fiercely kisses me back. Her tongue collides with mine.
“Please don’t do this to me, Rain.” Did she change her mind? It doesn’t seem
likely from the finality of the no-contest clause.
Her chin drops to her chest, and her gaze
lands on the fresh bruising on the inside of my arm. Without breaking my tight
grip, she gently kisses the mark. I wrestle my arm free and hide my shame
behind my back while the other pins her against the wall. “I’ve only done it a
couple times.” It’s a lie. I’ve shot up a half-dozen times since I got the
papers. “I’m not an addict.”
“Please stop.” Her eyes shine with pain
for me. “I love you, and I want more children…with you and only you.”
“What?” What is she saying? I avert my
eyes and my disgrace. “It’s no longer your concern. I’ve got this under
control.”
“You don’t.” One hand wriggles free, her
fingers trace my parched lips, and my cock aches for her. “What are you doing
with these girls? Do you know how much it hurts me? And the drugs. That’s far
worse.”
*~* Synopsis *~*
Lennon spends most of his time raising his sister Currie while skating through his senior year of high school. He prefers groupies with no-strings attached but finds himself attracted to Jinx, the straight-A student in his choir—a girl way out of his league.
Jinx is not the perfect person her classmates think she is. She conceals the black truth about herself, even from her friends. She won’t admit to them that she screwed up big time, losing what she once held most precious.
Neither Jinx nor Lennon trusts the opposite sex. When she joins Lennon’s band, she discovers that he is not the bad boy every girl thinks he is and that he just might be the one.

*~* Review *~*
This is my first time reading anything from Chris Myers and I am absolutely glad that I had the opportunity to participate in her Book Tour and was introduced to this trilogy. I am truly blown away. I was intrigued from beginning to end. Such an amazing beautifully written story.
I instantly had a soft spot for Lennon. I mean, my gosh...he's a baby raising a baby and holding so much responsibility and so much older than his age. He's 17 years old raising his little sister and taking on the parental responsibilities and duties that come along with it. How can you not have a soft spot for a young man who is so caring, loving and just simply amazing when it comes to the care of his little sister, Currie.
Dealing with a heartless mother and a father that was an addict and never having a childhood will definitely take its toll on a young kid. But Lennon steps up to the plate and takes over where his parents have failed. Never experiencing what it's like having a normal childhood.
Lennon has a reputation as being a player. Never wanting to pursue a relationship or commitment. That all starts to change when he sees Jinx and gets to know her better. She has her own baggage, but when needed she's there for him in a supporting way.
Great supporting characters. Emotional and Heartbreaking. You will not want to miss out on this one. This is a definite MUST read.

*~* Review *~*
Wow...It just gets better and
better!! This book is definitely much hotter than the first.
Lennon and Jinx is officially a
couple. But what happens when a long lost love re-enters your life after 8
years. Jinx is still struggling with her attack and can’t bring herself to
sleep with Lennon. All the while, Lennon has been nothing but patient with her
but his sexual frustration isn’t helping.
Lennon sees Rain and instantly grows
possessive over her. He was in love with her, she was his best friend. But he
harbors the feelings of being abandoned by her after she left without saying as
much as a goodbye after he declared his love for her and proposed in front of
everyone when he was just 10 years old. But their older now and his feelings
and attraction for her are so much more.
Rain tried to stay in the
background, avoiding Lennon at all cost. Until that one night at a college
party. The attraction is still their but she struggles with her feelings,
especially considering his reputation and the fact that he has a girlfriend.
This book just got ten times better.
The attraction and chemistry between Lennon and Rain are off the charts. She
wants to fight it and hide behind her walls and he wants to dive in head first.
However, he needs to figure out what is happening between him and Jinx.
I liked this book as it shows them growing and
their characters take shape and develop. Lennon still the caring responsible
brother but now he wants more. He wants love, he wants his own family and now
he has to deal with doing what is best for his sister.
The bands are going on tour how will
Lennon and Rain manage with their feelings and will Jinx be a constant
obstacle? This book follows the love triangle and some very steamy and
passionate scenes. Great addition to the series and I couldn’t wait to jump
right into the next book.
