Endless: Ty & Zoey
A steamy, coming-of-age, second chance, rock star romance.
“She ripped out my heart and threw it away".
Tyson Rainier had only one way out - leading his band Less than Zero (LTZ) to the top.
Stardom, success, touring the world – all his dreams were about to come true until Zoey Pearson gave him a new dream.
And passion beyond anything he thought possible.
Absolutely nothing could have prepared him for it to end.
Abruptly.
Definitively.
Crushingly.
His songs of heartbreak made LTZ the biggest band in the Universe.
Ty does anything he can to put the life he had with Zoey behind him.
Will Ty forgive Zoey for nearly destroying him?
“I left the only man I’ll ever love".
Beautiful bookworm Zoey Pearson’s love for music led her to Ty.
The gorgeous, sweet rocker was made for her.
When the man Ty trusted most told her to break it off, she does.
Painfully.
Regretfully.
Selflessly.
Now he’s the hottest rock star in the world because of the songs that eviscerated her.
Ty’s fully immersed in a life of excess and debauchery.
Zoey doesn’t even recognize him as the man she loved more than anything in the world.
Will Ty’s past come back to destroy Zoey? When circumstances throw them together eight years after breaking up, the fireworks are explosive, but their hearts are fragile.
Can Ty and Zoey prove that true love is endless?

!!all the usual angst and drama one would expect from a new adult rockstar romance!!
there is the aspect of ghosting in this story that just doesn't sit well with me and I dislike it in all the books I read... It is not a bad book but it is quite forgettable... Ty & Zoey didn't leave me with any lasting impressions.. I liked the pace of the story, it is readable, flows well. I would recommend it to fans of the genre.

Have you ever found a new author, not just 'new to you', but first book ever new and were totally WOWED by what you were reading? Well, rockstar romance lovers, this is a treat you'll want to discover!!! I can't get this exciting story or these lovable characters out of my head and I wouldn't want to anyway. I may have gone a wee bit crazy highlighting pages so I could go back and read my favorite parts all over again. I still can't believe this is the work of a brand new author..it just blows mind.
Kaylene Winter has managed to get all my attention with her flowing and addictive writing style, nailing the beauty and awe of tender young love with a flick of her talented fingers. Her fated characters melted my heart - sweet, funny and somewhat bookwormish, Zoey Pearson- a huge music lover and Ty/Tyson Rainier, a bit awkward, unknowingly gorgeous- a reluctant lead singer with a one of a kind voice. He and his band brothers, LTZ, have been playing the Seattle bar scene for a while now and are about to break out...ready and waiting for their rise to stardom. Zoey couldn't imagine why he looked her way, but together, these two soulmates were racing hearts, gentle touches and hoping with everything they had, to live the dream of forever.
My heart spent some time living in my throat as I read along, while the angsty ups and downs of all consuming first love embedded themselves under my skin. The intensity of Zoey and Ty's emotions, her selfless sacrifices and their collective pain, sometimes had me reaching for the tissues as their story began to unfold. Moments of humor, strength, determination balanced out the raw edges, with love always waiting underneath it all. I hung onto every word as they wrapped themselves around me...this was my kind of book perfection and I couldn't get enough of it.
Zoey and Ty's heartfelt romance may singe your kindles with all that super sexiness that couldn't help swirling around them.. an added bonus, in my opinion! Endless is a phenomenal beginning in what promises to be a 'to die for' new series that will continue on as each member of the fabulous chart topping band- Less Than Zero, gets their own stories, hopefully with happily ever afters, while grabbing another piece of my rockstar loving heart!
The iconic city of Seattle, where music and this author call home, turned out to be a star attraction all its own in this unforgettable story. I will look forward to seeing more of it, along with my new favorite book couple, the swoontastic Ty Rainier and his sweet, beautiful butterfly, the love of his life, Zoey Pearson.
Can you tell, I really have to recommend this one? This poignant story broke my heart but then pieced it back together again, checking all my boxes along the way...what more can you ask for in a romance!

Every girl has dreamed of going to a concert and being “the” girl the lead singer is truly making eye contact with during the show. That dream comes true for Zoey at an LTZ concert and is the beginning of an epic journey to true love with lead singer, Ty. The path to forever is thwarted by secrets and well-meaning friends for Ty and Zoey, but I loved every minute of it! I can’t wait to read more about how the other members of LTZ find love.

Story Did Not Disappoint
I really love Rockstar romances and for a new author Kaylene did a fantastic job. The storyline was different and kept my attention. Solid characters, just the right amount of angst and imagination. I will definitely be reading the next book in the series.

What is more fun that finding a new author who has written a brilliant rockstar romance debut? Wow did I find a gem with this one!
It has to be every rocker fan's dream to have the lead singer of a band watch you from the stage then come and talk to you. This dream came true for Zoey as she met Ty and began an epic love story that spanned years.
Unfortunately Zoey never really believed that she was good enough for super talented Ty and it didn't take much for her to act on the advice of his manager and leave Ty behind for the sake of his career. It was heartbreaking to see this young love broken in two. Although both of them are devastated it drives them on to succeed in their careers, Ty's band becomes world famous and Zoey loses her self in her career and becomes a lawyer in record time but neither has ever forgotten their first love. When they meet again, although the spark is still there they have a lot of pain and anguish to work through before they can plan a future together.
This story really is totally amazing. Your heart will break for both of these people who go through so much pain, suffering and struggle to trust again, both apart and when they meet again.
This is the start of what I am sure is going to be a terrific rocker series from a new author to watch, and I am so excited to read more.

If you're looking for a drama-packed, sexy rockstar romance, you have arrived. Ty and Zoey's relationship spans eight years and has a lot of ups and downs. It got me a bit emotional a couple times and had some of the hottest romance scenes I've read in a while! This is a bumpy ride for our characters, but I think going through what they did made their relationship stronger and helped them grow as people.
This starts out when Ty and Zoey meet before the band, Less Than Zero, is really famous. It is instalove, which isn't my favorite, but don't worry. Zoey makes a decision, maybe good maybe not, that ends the relationship for now. Then we have the time jump, Ty is hugely famous and Zoey is a lawyer trying to move up in the world. When they reunite, they're better equipped to deal with their feelings and it's a stronger bond this time.
Both characters made some bad decisions throughout this that almost had me tearing my hair out, but their chemistry is undeniable and I knew they had to end up together. I like that they grow together, work out their issues, and are better as a couple. I'm so happy I got to read this and I'm looking forward to Jace's story next!

As a person who is easily turned off by the cheesiness of some romance novels, I really enjoyed this book! In terms of the relationship, it has all the elements I want: it’s a tender “first love” story, and a passionate “forever love” story. Plus, haven’t we all fantasized about dating a celebrity? What that lifestyle would be like? Or of a reunion with “the one who got away”? This story has enough sex to make it fun without feeling like it’s all-out porn, and the language is snappy and current. Aside from the actual romance, it’s clear that the author knows a few things about the entertainment industry and the role of social media in promoting people and products. You get to see the glamorous and the really ugly sides of fame and the impacts of media. You get to see what it’s like to live a rock star life. And the characters even manage to work in some important social causes. I found it really interesting and, yes, educational. But back to the romance…the author cleverly introduced the characters from the next books already so I can hardly wait to start reading the next one!

OMG, I loved this book so much! Wow, what an emotional rollercoaster! This book left me with all the feels! Ty is such a sweet, caring soul who thinks he's unlovable, due to his rough childhood, and Zoey is such a sweet, caring, level-headed person. I am so impressed with Kaylene Winter's writing style and storytelling, and can't wait for the other Less Than Zero books to come out! Definitely recommended!

I was recommended to read this sweet love story by a friend on goodreads, I am so glad I did;I devoured it in one go! It was emotional at times, angsty but sweet. I even laughed a few times. I really liked the writing, and I will definitely read more from this author. Tyson was such a sweet man and the love of this life Zoey is the sweetest girl. I don't wanna write to much incase I spoil it for others. But I definitely recommened this book to anyone who likes an emotional rollercoaster with great characters. I can't wait for the next book in this series!

Kaylene Winter brings a strong new voice to the rock star romance world with her debut Endless.
With a love at first sight scenario that burned bright enough to singe the pages Ty and Zoey's connection seemed too good to be true and ultimately was. Miscommunications and good intentions with tainted outcomes led to a painful separation that scarred their hearts and built walls of insecurities. The manipulated estrangement of this pair and the tragic emotional wreckage it left behind was heartbreaking.
Ty was a tortured hero full of love and yet always at a deficit for it until he met Zoey. The purity of his devotion to her was touching and well contrasted with how he grew up and his path to fame. Not overly comfortable in his own skin, unless he was on stage, his pursuit of Zoey was as sweet as it was uneasy. Zoey was kind and unassuming, the goodness of her actions reflecting the core of who she was. Her nurturing upbringing carried over to her relationship with Ty making theirs a bond that was selfless.
When this pair reunited the angst and pain they felt was evident in their every interaction. Their anger and resentment showed all the signs of permanently keeping them apart but eventually their tie to each other was strong enough to draw them back together, forcing them to work through their issues. Between Ty's past full of betrayal and hardship, making Zoey's abandonment even more devastating, and the pain Zoey suffered in leaving Ty to only discover that the sacrifice she made in leaving him in the end was unnecessary, this couple had their work cut out for them. Ty and Zoey's reunion was not an easy one as they had years to build up their defenses. Regret and resentment paved a rocky road to reconciliation but Ms. Winter did a great job of pointing her characters in the right direction as she rebuilt their trust in a believable manner.
Kaylene Winter delved into her portrayals emotions with intent not trying to trivialize them and baring their souls. She did not make the rock and roll lifestyle she wrote about glamorous but showed the pitfalls of fame and the sacrifices made in order to achieve it. In a competitive world of ruthless pursuit of recognition she brought a truth to her readers with sensitive writing even as she exposed the best and worse in her characters adeptly. Ms. Winter captured the angst of first love and incorporated all the self-doubt and vulnerabilities of her leads with a sharp eye and kind writing for an all-consuming read in Endless.

Rock romance must read!
Rock romance fan will be pleasantly surprise with this debut read that doesn’t disappoint. I’m always in awe when a new author brings life to the characters that transport you to a happy place. Zoey and Ty’s characters were sweet and likable, you can relate to the storyline as their journey takes them to first love and last everything. I love the growth that these characters take with all the feels that makes their HEA so worth it. I can’t wait to see where this series goes!

This book is an absolute rockstar masterpiece. It is near impossible to believe that Endless is this author’s first book given her brilliant writing style, creative storying telling, and impeccable character development. This second chance novel packs an emotional punch. If you are looking for a light romance, this is not it as Zoey and Ty’s story is a rollercoaster of drama & angst with swoon worthy romantic & steamy moments and a smattering of humor.
The beginning of this story left me nostalgic as it highlights the sweetness of young love and captures those feelings where the Ty and Zoey believe that they need each other more than air. However, things implode just as Ty is headed off on tour with his band LTZ. Eight years later, the two encounter each other again only to discover that the their souls are still caught in each other’s orbits.
I adored Ty. He starts off as this awkward young man with “less than zero” game, yet exudes confidence and swagger while he commands his audience on stage. As a hero, he is complex with an interesting backstory and I enjoyed watching his character evolve. Zoey is shy, studious, and so hard working to the extent that it is a coping mechanism for her. Even with some of her back and forth behaviors that annoyed me at times, I truly liked her as a heroine. I had to remind myself that she was only 18 years-old when she made what she thought was a selfless decision; thus setting the course for devastating heartache without fully anticipating the full scope of consequences. Upon being reunited, the sparks are stronger than ever, but the author does a great job illustrating that resentment, emotional baggage, insecurities and mistrust are obstacles that they must overcome.
One of the things that I like about this book is that the author reveals how the rockstar life isn’t all glitz and glamour and that the result of fame impacts not only the famous person but also their significant others. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the secondary characters. I loved the LTZ’s bandmates as well as Zoey’s friend Alex. It was also interesting to see how the author was providing hints about her next novel in the series. Endless is a standalone romance with a HEA, but their journey is one that will batter your heart, however it also leaves the reader with feelings of hope, love, and romance.

As soon as you read the prologue you know that this story will 💔😭.
The first chapters is about the 2 MCs when they are young, how they meet, how they fall deeply in love and how the break up affects them.
Ty is a boy who has not had an easy life with an addict mother, he has to take care of her and the bills and he only dreams to succeed with his band Less Than Zero to leave his old life behind. And then he meets Zoey in one of his concerts and it’s love at first sight. For the next months he prepares for the tour and spends his free time with Zoey, they make promises of forever to each other and everything is perfect for them. Until the summer ends. Both of them are too young, he is 22 and she is 18 and Carter, Ty’s pseudo-father, who is also a musician, talks to Zoey and tries to convince her to ends things with Ty for their own good. She refuses at first, but he finally convinces her when he tells her that Ty will likely leave the band before leaving her. And the day of Ty’s birthday, her nightmares comes true when Ty tells her that he can’t go on tour bc of her, so she finally decides to break up with him, breaking her own heart in the process, bc she wants for him to fulfill his dream. But before that she ends up sleeping with him for the first and last time and leaves without saying goodbye and leaving a note. Ty breaks, he first refuses to give up, but after she ghost him and after a message of his phone he finally decides to move on with his life. His band is very successful, and with the influence of his publicists, he ends up with a bad boy rock star image:drinking, using drugs, sleeping around with countless women... Until one night after a hook up that later will end up biting his ass, he decides to clean himself and concentrate in a new charity project with Carter, who feels sorry for causing the break up and Ty’s💔and who ends up hiring the law firm Zoey works for.
In the reunion between the 2 MCs there is pain, regret, reproaches, apologies but above all love, both of them realize that they are still in love. But sometimes love is not enough bc this couple will have to deal with so many things to be together again... Their fears, insecurities, the rock star life of Ty and the fame, the paparazzi, the fans, and some other things that will make this couple fight every step of the way for their HEA.
To be her first book, the author has shown great talent. I ❤️❤️❤️ the story so much, I have fallen in love with Ty since the beginning, I wanted to hug him so many times...
Now the story of Jace and Alex. Can’t wait for more books of this series.
With my shit background, not in a million years had I ever believed in love at first sight. At that moment not only did I believe, but I knew I would do anything for her. Anything she ever asked of me. Please, don’t let this girl break my heart.
Not in a million years did I believe in love at first sight, but when Ty kissed me in the Uber, it was all over. He was everything. It was hard to fathom but undeniable. I’d always felt like my soul was older than my physical age, which is why I knew without any question that Ty had been made just for me.
My heart knew that I loved him. Deep in my soul, I knew that he was my forever person, and there would never be anyone else.
My mind exploded. It was so hard to comprehend feeling safe, worthy and loved all at the same time. All because I had the courage to put myself out there with this goddess of a woman. She was the one who made me feel all of these things. I loved her. I fucking loved her.
My heart thundered in my chest. Tears threatened to spill. My body and heart lurched at the sight of him. I’d been kidding myself for years. I’d never be over this man. Nothing had prepared me for the crippling depression that I suffered after leaving Ty that morning eight years ago. For weeks, I could barely get out of bed to go to the bathroom, let alone attend classes.
Maybe it was the therapy I’d been attending for the past few years at the urging of the band and Carter. Maybe time healed my wounds. Who knew? I worked through all of it. My mother. My drinking and promiscuity. Zoey. I felt like a grown-up. A man. I was a true version of myself for the first time ever.
“I love you, Zoey,” Ty whispered against my hair. “I want to wake up with you here, this time. Don’t leave me again.” “I love you too, Ty. Nothing or no one will ever make me leave you again.”
The first chapters is about the 2 MCs when they are young, how they meet, how they fall deeply in love and how the break up affects them.
Ty is a boy who has not had an easy life with an addict mother, he has to take care of her and the bills and he only dreams to succeed with his band Less Than Zero to leave his old life behind. And then he meets Zoey in one of his concerts and it’s love at first sight. For the next months he prepares for the tour and spends his free time with Zoey, they make promises of forever to each other and everything is perfect for them. Until the summer ends. Both of them are too young, he is 22 and she is 18 and Carter, Ty’s pseudo-father, who is also a musician, talks to Zoey and tries to convince her to ends things with Ty for their own good. She refuses at first, but he finally convinces her when he tells her that Ty will likely leave the band before leaving her. And the day of Ty’s birthday, her nightmares comes true when Ty tells her that he can’t go on tour bc of her, so she finally decides to break up with him, breaking her own heart in the process, bc she wants for him to fulfill his dream. But before that she ends up sleeping with him for the first and last time and leaves without saying goodbye and leaving a note. Ty breaks, he first refuses to give up, but after she ghost him and after a message of his phone he finally decides to move on with his life. His band is very successful, and with the influence of his publicists, he ends up with a bad boy rock star image:drinking, using drugs, sleeping around with countless women... Until one night after a hook up that later will end up biting his ass, he decides to clean himself and concentrate in a new charity project with Carter, who feels sorry for causing the break up and Ty’s💔and who ends up hiring the law firm Zoey works for.
In the reunion between the 2 MCs there is pain, regret, reproaches, apologies but above all love, both of them realize that they are still in love. But sometimes love is not enough bc this couple will have to deal with so many things to be together again... Their fears, insecurities, the rock star life of Ty and the fame, the paparazzi, the fans, and some other things that will make this couple fight every step of the way for their HEA.
To be her first book, the author has shown great talent. I ❤️❤️❤️ the story so much, I have fallen in love with Ty since the beginning, I wanted to hug him so many times...
Now the story of Jace and Alex. Can’t wait for more books of this series.

This was my first dip into Kaylene's Less Than Zero Rockstar World and I must say I am totally here for it all! I didn't start with Restless, Amazon has it marked as book 10 but it's a prequel and is really book 0.5, and I really wish I had because it may have given me more of what I needed on Carter and his interference in things that really changed Ty & Zoey's lives. Kaylene does mention some of his past but I wanted to know more about it for a truer connection.
Tyson and Zoey met at a show Less Than Zero were performing at a local club, when they were just a local band and didn't have all the fame yet. Zoey was just about to turn 18 and head off to college at the end of the summer. Ty was socially awkward which endeared him to me, I loved that he wasn't too full of himself and was a little unsure of things.
It was love at first sight for Ty and Zoey and what they had only grew strong during the months they spent together. But when Zoey left him with only a note it rocked his world and he turned his heartbreak and anger into songs that catapulted LTZ to the top of the charts.
Since this is a Second Chance Romance you know they get back together but it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows when they do. There is a lot going on and Kaylene did a fabulous job with not only giving us a great story for Ty and Zoey but we get enough cookie crumbs for the upcoming band mates stories as well. I cannot wait to dive into Limitless: Jace & Alex which is what I will be doing in about an hour.

Another heart tugging addition of Less Than Zero by Kaylene Winters! It’s my heart taking residence in my throat through its entirety, Kaylene manages to captivate the essence of the true meaning of “If you love someone, let them go. If they come back to you, they were really yours”.
A story of finding your one true love and all the struggles to overcome, my emotions remained all over the place. Between the betrayal, the ghosting, hidden secrets, and conniving jealous individuals, Kaylene took me to hell and back, experiencing animosity towards quite a few characters. In the end, you can only trust yourself and sometimes that becomes an issue.
When I first started this masterpiece, I was sucked into an exciting world of rockstar life. Automatically falling for Ty’s shy nature, mixed with such a giving, trusting personality, paved the way for a deserving whirlwind of emotions between him and Zoey. She was such a selfless character mixed with the sacrifices she made for the man she loved, caused a lot of unnecessary pain. By the end, my tears were all dried out reading their heartfelt romance. And the sexual scenes were full of fire, ecstasy, and sexiness that will leave you searching for a cold shower because when I say OH MY GOD are they steamy, they are steamy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!
Looking forward to reading Jace and Alex’s story, the sneak peek had me on the edge of my seat!

If you love someone set them free.
Ty and Zoey meet one day and fall in love however, Zoey wants to leave to pursue a higher education. She breaks Ty"s heart and leaves only to meet her again years later. Ty is now a huge famous rock star and Zoey has her higher education. Zoey and Ty are older and realize they are still in love despite all the hardships they faced keeping them apart. I loved this book. The relationship was so realistic and intimate. I know a lot of friends who have met someone only to find them again years later and marry. So romantic. It goes to show that old saying "If you love someone set them free and they will come back to you if it was truly meant to be." (Or something like that. Sorry, I am paraphrasing. Lol.) is really true. I loved how outspoken Zoey was. She really spoke her mind and how Ty was the gorgeous talented "Sensitive" musician. Lol. I will be looking for more books by this author on Amazon or Hidden Gems. (whichever comes first) Does she have a newsletter? I received a complimentary copy of this book from Hidden Gems in exchange for an honest review.

I was honor to read this copy free on hidden gems 💎
At first, I was skeptical about the book. I thought it was going to be a "pre-teen" book, but by page five, I was totally hooked! The author has a sure-fire way of drawing you right into the heart (minds and souls) of not only the muscians (and thier world), but also the lives of the women that fall in love with them (life-style or not). Once I started reading this book, I found I could NOT put it down!!! (It usually takes me MONTHS to read a very THIN paperback...not THIS time!!!!) 😁 I must confess I am a 60 year old hippy who still loves guys with long hair and hard rock music, so, this book was right up my ally 😃. Can't say enough praise on finding this new author and am on pins and needles waiting to find out what's up with Jace and Alex in the next book. (I'm also hoping for more on Ty and Zoey later on, once we've "met" the rest of the band and their women!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

What a heck of a roller coaster ride!
Zoey is a "good girl" with a heart of gold. So when it is strongly suggested that she dump Rock Star Ty, the love of her life, so he can concentrate on his music career, why does it feel so wrong?
Zoey doesn't have a clue the kind of destruction her decision sets in motion. She's way too young to understand that everyone who smiles in your face is not your friend and is usually following their own selfish agenda!
Although this is an awesome story, it includes too many redundant sex scenes and offensive religious references.

Endless
This was a good start for this series. Ty and Zoey had a bit of an angsty/ drama filled story. They did start young. And even though I think Carter was wrong I could still see the point of it. At least he re-introduced them latter to (partially) make up for what he did. Overall I enjoyed it and I’ll be giving the second book a try.

Holy moly!
Let me start this by saying that rockstar romance books aren't something that I usually reach for. I am a total rock groupie so sometimes reading books about rockstars are hard for me because I compare "real life' to the book.
Along came Kaylene Winter - when I found out that she was formerly involved in the music scene, I HAD to read her book. And y'all, I am IMPRESSED. There was nothing that I can fault with the storyline. Real situations, "real" rockers. And the love story could really happen!
Kaylene's characters have wormed their way into my black rocker heart and cemented their place there. I am eagerly starting book 2 in the series to see what happens to my new favorite group!

5 out of 5 stars! This book is a true pleasure. I could not put it down!
I love the characters!
I love that it's a Rock Romance!
I love that this is the First in a Series - and now I can hardly Wait for the next book!
This book reminded me of how much I enjoy reading. It was a true escape and I found myself tearing through it because I wanted to know how it turned out. Anyone who has slipped into the fantasy of what it might be like to meet and fall in love with a rock star, and to get at taste of the associated highs and lows will enjoy this spirited read.
Highly recommend!

I loved this book! Endless is a steamy, second-chance rockstar romance that kicks off the Less Than Zero (LTZ) series with a bang. It follows Ty, a heartbroken frontman who’s now a famous rockstar, and Zoey, the woman who walked away from him years ago. When their paths cross again, old wounds and unresolved feelings come roaring back to life.
Kaylene Winter weaves a raw and emotional story packed with angst, passion, and redemption. With its layered characters and authentic music-industry backdrop, Endless delivers a dramatic, heartfelt journey about love, regret, and the power of second chances.
If you like your romance with depth, heat, and a whole lot of rock 'n' roll, this one's for you.

Rockstar romance filled with emotion
First I love that it was a rockstar romance that involved the rockstar life, concerts, music etc. The journey that Zoey and Ty is filled with emotion, twists and turns. There is also lots of hot steamy scenes. I also loved all the other band members, families and friends. There are even villains. Great read, can’t wait for book 2 in the series

This is a second chance, rock and roll romance. That will take from the fresh glow of first love, heartbreaking decisions and their costs, and the real struggles of finding each other, healing and making a relationship work.
Zoey Pearson is this studious, shy girl, that blooms as her and Ty's relationship grows. She's smart, strong and courageous and would do anything for Ty, including giving him up for him to succeed, no matter the cost to herself.
Tyson Ranier grew up in an abusive situation and the band is his ticket to leave it all behind, until he meets Zoey. I love the shy, awkward, geek behind the bold lead singer. He's vulnerable and devoted and willing to do the work to fix his mistakes.
Zoey's decision to leave Ty almost ruins both of them, eight years later when they reunite, the love is there but the emotional pain is as well and they must not only navigate their hurts but being under heavy spotlight.
This story grabbed me and held me tight until the very last page. Winter takes you on an emotional roller coaster of love, betrayal, emotional struggles and healing before we get to their happily ever after. I felt their love, their passion, their pain and the rock and roll scenes made me feel like I was living it. This is the first book I've read by Kaylene Winter and I can't wait to read more.
