"Gritty and intense, the tension sizzles off the pages!" -Kimberly Derting, author of The Taking ?Use cash and keep moving. ?After I ran away from home, these were the two rules that dictated my life. Scoring a job as a roadie fit perfectly for what I needed. Traveling, cash, and life out of the spotlight. But when my path collides with West, the lead singer of Bus Stop, I can't seem to stay out of his spotlight-especially since we'll be touring together for an entire year. ?West is determined to break down my walls. He won't give up. And little by little they come crumbling. But if he knew what lurked behind them, he wouldn't be so eager to get rid of them. ?The more time we spend together, the more the lines of our friendship become blurred. He makes me dream of things I never thought possible. But while our friendship has been evolving into a romance, my secrets have been closing in. And just when I've decided to reveal my past to West, I'm confronted by it. The cost of my freedom could ruin the life of the guy I love... No library descriptions found. |

This book was AWESOME!
I was really blown away with the story we get. Uncovering why Eve has run away had me hooked from the get-go. And watching her grow-up and develop as a character was amazing. I love stories that let the lead grow through her experiences and its clearly visible to the reader. Plus, her story was one I have never come across in a young adult or new adult contemporary--which is fantastic!
And the romance...perfection! The chemistry is there from the start and it sucks you in. You see why these two would fall for each other because they start as friends and work their way from there. It was so, so sweet!
This book has a great balance between the plot and the romance. It reminded me why I love contemporary rockstar based romances!
