Over 260,000 words on a rockstar, the love of his life, and his best friend. You will laugh and you will cry, but the story of Noah Taylor will stay with you forever!
*** Book One - Perception of Life ***
When a rockstar with a broken heart stumbles upon a shy, wholesome girl, attraction isn’t the only thing igniting.
Noah Taylor is on the cusp of stardom with his band 'Rise Up.' After a series of devastating events, the last thing he wants is a committed relationship. However, life doesn’t always work out the way you plan. Sometimes it can take you on a small detour.
With her final year of high school wrapping up, and her next move already decided, Emily McIntosh doesn’t have time for a leather-wearing bad boy with tormented eyes. But what happens when an instant attraction turns into something more? Can Emily resist the seriously sexy rockstar? Or will she drop her guard for the second time with the hope of not getting burned again?
*** Book Two - Reality of Life ***
** The FINAL installment in the Noah and Emily's story **
The reality of life is sometimes bad things happen to good people, especially when they least expect it.

This book has so many twists and turns, you'll never see them coming. Heart clutching, awe-inspiring, and a tear-jerking read that will have you falling in love with Noah Taylor all over again.

*** Book Three - Fight of Life ***

Jacob is a loveable giant with a heart full of gold and an even more dazzling smile. Lola is a fiery temptress with a stubborn personality and an even more rampant desire to remain single. Despite their indifferences, the attraction between them is undeniable. It is so dense, it is almost palpable.
Sit alongside Jacob and Lola as the sparks fly in this heart-stopping new adult romantic suspense read. Will they overcome the intangible mess sitting between them to discover never-ending love? Or will secrets and lies spilled be too great for their blossoming kinship to survive?
This is not your typical love story.

August 12, 2016The first three books of the Perception series is now in one set.
If you haven't already read them, this is a great way to start the series.

This box set contains three separate interlinked novels. In fact, the first two combine to make one bigger novel. The first two books are a coming-of-age romance of wannabe rockstar Noah and Emily, the younger sister of his friend Jacob’s girlfriend Lola. These books touch on quite a few themes that could be unsettling for some readers. Several heartbreaking events occur, both on large and small scales, but I don't want to give away too much detail because, if you choose to read these books, you'll appreciate the reading experience more for having read it yourself. The second book involves a romance for Noah’s friend mentioned above, who usually is quite the player.
I'm glad the author is offering these in a boxset because the first two really should be read together one right after the other. While the first book could be seen as complete in itself, the ending would be unsatisfying; it does make you wonder what happens next for Noah.
The book did have the common issues with grammar, punctuation, and spelling, including incorrect possessives and misspellings/wrong words like dints for dents, opposing versus opposite, and allude for exude.
If you enjoy coming of age romances that have triumph and tragedy, you might enjoy this boxset.

Wow!! Shandi Boyes is Awesome! I love the world she has created in Ravenshoe!! I cried a lot reading these 2 stories. I also laughed and was on the edge of my seat for some parts! I wanted to help Emily at times and feared forJacob more than a few. I felt bad for Noah and saw Lola’s hard exterior breaking down. Grab this box set if you need an escape or just for fun! You won’t regret it!!!

Emily & Noah ****
I really enjoyed Emily and Noah's story I thought they were great for each other. Jacob and Lola 's story was ok, too much of the first two books in their book, I give them *** . I don't understand why there is not a book about Marcus, he was a big part of the band. I'm kinda pissed off about that so I don't think I'll be reading the rest of the guys story, I'm too disappointed .

Definitely exciting. They have this dynamic in their relationship that makes them exciting yet untouchable. This was a good series to read. I plan to read more by Shandi Boyes.
