BOOK #2 IN THE DOUBLE BLIND STUDY SERIES

He was as wild and unpredictable as a prairie storm. She was trying to pretend like he wasn't everything she ever wanted. How long can a storm be in stasis before lightning strikes?

Double Blind Study is taking charge of their future. Coming off of one of the most successful tours to date, they start their own label and decide to get back to what they love the most: the music. But relearning how to be responsible adults can be a long road. Blake Diedrich has been running from himself his whole life. Being in a band with his very best friends has helped to keep him on the move during that time. But then Blake's past joins the tour and he's forced to think about all the choices he's made to get him where his is today.

Lucy Newton, raised by her widowed rock star father, has a talent beyond measure. But she's placed her hopes on the back burner, putting family first. An opportunity arises that allows her to chase her dream but there's a catch: Blake Diedrich, the man who broke her heart too many times to count is part of the package.

Pride is a destructive foe and Forgiveness is hard to accomplish. Friendship is powerful and Love is unpredictable. Every journey has a purpose, will Blake and Lucy come out stronger for it on the other side? Or will it destroy what's left of their shattered hearts?

Synopsis

No matter how solid something seems, if enough pressure is applied, hearts and lives will shift. Shane Brookings, passionate surfer and accomplished athlete, was not a rock star, as much as he tried to represent himself as one throughout most of his adulthood.  Mostly, Shane had always been kind of a jackass.  A talented jackass, but still.  So it really came as no surprise to him that the only two women he had seen a future with, chose actual rock stars to hitch themselves to. Feeling cold and hollow, he returned to California to focus on growing his brand.  Determined to now stay serious about his life choices, he never anticipated Greta O'Neil's blatant shove into his life. 

Greta O'Neil, avid artist, surfer chick, and baby sister to a rock star, had a life that was anything but boring.  Having a knack for pulling sad men out of their funk, she sets her talents on Shane Brookings.  She has no intention of breaking her rules, which include getting too close, letting him in, and accidentally falling for the guy. But Shane is not like her other projects.  Not only is he built like a Greek god, he's hardworking, passionate, clever and heroic.  (Not that he believes any of those things about himself.)  

The rules she has so firmly set down to protect herself, are more than shaken up with Shane's every push into her life. Even as they both compromise to make room in their hearts for the other, outside forces put pressure on their burgeoning relationship.  Shane's dream is put into jeopardy, ex-lovers surface at the worst moments, and their own faults threaten to violently tear them apart.

Synopsis

Mike Osborn woke up in a hospital in Germany three years ago.  He was still breathing.  They had saved him. 

Double Blind Study has been through every rock and roll cliché ever contrived.  When their drummer nearly dies from a drug overdose, everything changes.  Life becomes important again.  Living becomes important again.

No one knows that better than Mike.  So why does he feel like even though he's breathing and he's happy, his heart isn't beating the way it should be?  Maybe it never did.

When Mike meets Clarke Matthews for the first time, he knows he should stay away.  He knows too much about her and what she's been through.  He knows that he's not the one who should still be here.  But for the first time, his heart has found another rhythm that matches its own.  Every beat reveals new colors exploding in his darkness.

Mike's been living life raw, unplugged.  He's close to a reckoning.  When it all comes apart, and he's faced with every mistake he's ever made, will the black win out and wash away the color that he's found?  Or will the steady drum of a healthy pulse finally push the black away for good?

About The Author:



Heidi Hutchinson was born in South Dakota and raised the exact right distance away from the Black Hills. She had an overactive imagination very early on, and wasted no time in getting most of her friends in trouble due to her unrealistic and completely ridiculous ideas. Seeing as she was so lazy and also afraid people would think she was bonkers, she didn't write down any of the story lines that played out in her daydreams. During her high school years, she took pen to paper and filled more notebooks than she is proud of with angsty, depressing, self-depreciating poetry. This led to her writing down more things: notes, ideas, character bios, plot twists that had no plot yet to twist. After years of cleaning up her own scraps of imagination with nothing solid to hold on to, she sat down and wrote the story that had been in her head the longest. Fueled by coffee and her unwavering and perfectly normal devotion to Dave Grohl, she discovered a writer living inside of her. She still lives in the Midwest, though not as close to the Black Hills as she would prefer, with her alarmingly handsome husband and their fearless child.  They eat more pizza than God intended and she listens to her music the same way she lives: loudly.

Review

This was a great read. Five Stars!! Author Heidi R Hutchinson once again brings us a beautiful, genuine love story with a touch of drama and such amazing characters that you just absolutely can't help but fall in love with. 

I had already fallen in love with Shane in Book 2 because he matured and changed so much since Book 1, where I very much disliked him, but WOW…… I’m lovin him even more.

Shane is heartbroken. He let the woman he fell in love with go because he knew it was the right thing to do. He tries to hide his pain and his plan is to throw himself into work. He sure wasn’t expecting this sassy chic determined to ‘fix’ him to get under his skin.

Greta sets her sights on Shane. She sees the sadness in him and wants to help him move on and bring back happiness into his life. This is what she does. This is her talent. She’s determined to make Shane her next ‘fixer upper’. She wasn’t expecting for him to break through the boundaries she thought were impenetrable.

I love this series! Although you can read each one as a standalone, I highly recommend reading them in order. In Book 1, you get introduced to each character and you get a feel for them. You get the whole effect of how they are connected to each other and where the characters stand throughout. We first meet Shane in Book 1, and it wasn’t a very good impression. Book 2, he totally flipped the switch and my heart thawed for him, falling more and more. In this story, he steals a huge piece of my heart. He is so sweet, caring and tender.

Shane and Greta were made for each other. Greta was exactly what Shane needed in his life. She was exuberant and brought so much life back into Shane when he thought he was doomed to darkness. Their friendship develops over the course of the story and fall more and more for each other. They take a chance on love.


I love how Heidi writes these love stories with pure genuine emotion without the whole ‘sex sells’ thing going on. These stories don’t need that. You fall so deeply in love and captivated by the raw emotion of pure simple love. I love her writing; it’s like a breath of fresh air and separates her on a whole different plateau from the rest. I absolutely loved this story and couldn’t have been happier of how Shane and Greta came to be. I can’t wait to read the next addition to this series.
