~Jeremy I've always been satisfied with new girls every so often on the road. My life is too busy to settle down with just one, and honestly, I haven't found someone worth committing to, either. Until her. Beth came storming into my life with an abandon and a sass that I just couldn't turn away from. Everything about her begged for me. Well, except her words. Those told me to get the hell away from her. I guess it's a good thing that no matter how many times she tells me no with her mouth, her body tells me yes. This might just be the only girl in the world worth giving up my bachelor lifestyle for and starting a family with. If only I can be good enough for her. If only I can purge my demons for her. Then I'll be able to earn her love in return.
~Beth After my disastrous not-quite-together-in-the-first-place breakup, I'm so glad to be back in Georgia where I belong. Brazil was nice, but it was filled with a whole lot of crappy relationships. But unfortunately, my best friend thinks I need some cheering up, and I guess that comes in the form of trying to get into the pants of the guys from a band I've never heard of before. Punk rocker to the core, I can't help but get drawn in by Jeremy. At first it was because of his looks, his cocky attitude, and the drumsticks poking out of his back pocket, but then it was because of his authenticity and depth. Who knew rock stars could be so...normal? Only problem is, Jeremy wants a fling, and I want a ring, so we can only be friends. Just friends. Except, he has other ideas. All I have to decide is if he's worth putting my heart on the line. Again. And just pray that it doesn't get smashed into pieces. Again. Well, not like the heart really gives you a choice, anyway. Mine falls for him before I give it permission, and now I just have to get my brain to give in, too.
L.L. Ash is a Washington-born writer who has traveled and lived across the western coast of the US. She lives in Utah with her husband and 3 kids, all of which are a handful!
Ash has been writing fiction since she was 11 years old, and finished her first full-length romance novella at 12. While her writing has improved since then, her love for literature has not changed. Oftentimes you can find Ash reading an indie romance or enjoying a historical fiction. She has been an artist for decades but found her true love and passion in romances.
But Ash is not content to write a romance with untried characters or predictable ‘happily ever afters’. Ash strives to create honest stories revolving around struggling heroins and bruised heroes, both trying to find happiness and acceptance, just like we in real life do. She writes about real struggles and real hardships, often giving the characters a tarnished facade. But through the constant loving and hating of the characters, you will fall in love with them as they grow and change and evolve through the stories.
As Ash always says, it’s all about real romance for real life.
Loved this book. I favorite in the series. Jeremy and Beth are everything. I mostly enjoyed the banter between he two and the texting. I loved how their relationship evolved and how both of them overcome everything happening around them. For Beth, it was a broken heart for Jeremy, the loss of a friend.
They were exactly what the other needed and their HEA was much deserved. Great story, great characters.
Jeremy was perfect for Beth and I loved how he perused and woo’ed her! She deserved someone to fight for her over and over.
There is a scene where Beth confronts her “past” and gets much needed closure. Jeremy’s reaction was fun to read I just wished for the drama to last a few chapters more.
Witty, funny, scorching-hot, fast-paced, and absolutely steamy this book is an absolute page-turner!!! With a hero who knows what he wants and a heroine that refuses to take any bullshit from him.
