My 4 Star Review:
Have you ever had a crush on your sibling’s friend? You know
that one of kind crush that turns into that love that will last forever or at
least you hope it will?
Allison Slater has
loved Rhys McGowan since she was thirteen. The problem is he only sees her as
his band mate Jakes, little sister. Gathering all the courage she could muster,
she asked him for a real kiss for her sixteenth birthday. See, wishes really do
come true but unfortunately that kissed changed everything. She is no longer that little girl and she is
determined to make Ryhs see her as more.
Rhys McGowan doesn’t do love. His parents are a prime
example of why. Plain and simple, he doesn’t do relationships. When he visits
Jake’s little sister Allison in Savannah, the lines between their friendship
quickly fade. He starts to realize that there was always something special with
her.
“What have you done to
me?” I asked, as I stared into her eyes.
Allison’s brow lined
in confusion. “I haven’t done anything.” I shook my head. “You’ve done
something to change me-to make me want you.”
When a night of tequila starts out as fun and ends up being
one of the most incredible nights of their lives; Rhys wakes up to realize he
has crossed a line he shouldn’t have. Trying to play it off as a druken
mistake. He leaves her completely shattered.
“The past is the past, and we can’t keep letting it cripple us in the
present.”
Now that she is on
break from college, touring with the band as Jake and Abby’s part time nanny
and also doing a major internship for her schooling; Rhys finds himself in his
own personal hell.
“I’ll just try not to
think each and every time I see you that you’re the man who didn’t just break
my heart- you shattered it.”
Trying to keep his distance from her and also trying to
remain friends. Their emotions and feelings for each other continue to spiral
out of control. Rhys continues to send her mixed messages and Allison has had
enough, she realizes he will never give her what she needs, what they need.
What’s a girl who is in love to do? She decides to move on.
When Rhys comes to his senses and sees his mistakes and his
foolishness, he vows to do everything he can to get her back and to mend her heart.
Soon he realizes that things are easier said than done. Allison wants no part
of him. She is over his “sorry’ s”.
“Why won’t you listen to me? I can’t leave you right now because I need
you too much. And I can’t let you leave me.”
I have to say that this was my favorite story. Rhys is soooo
much more than just a bass player. Not only is his gorgeous but is also
completely loyal to his friends and those he cares for. He is extremely smart
and so caring and loving. He comes from a loveless family and he has no faith
in himself when it comes to being able to love. The thing is, he is a very
loving man and although he can’t see that, it makes him that much more
desirable. He does have his douchebag moments but he definitely redeems himself.
Allison is a fantastic character. Not only is she beautiful,
smart and talented but she is feisty, tough and compassionate. Although she is
younger, she has an old soul. She knows what she wants and in a roundabout way
she goes after it. She is so loveable, one minute she is innocent and naive and
the next minute she can make the dirtiest of minds blush.
The CHEMISTRY that Allison and Rhys share is
OFF.THE.CHARTS... *holywowgeezmakesyouwanttobecomeagroupie* HOT HOT HOT!
