BOOK BLURB
Stevie Wilson is about to welcome a new life into an unsure world. Estranged from the father of her unborn child, she turns to her love of attending concerts with her vivacious best friend to deal with the stress and uncertainty. As a teacher and blogger, she counts on the magic of the music to ease her troubled thoughts of what will come next. What she wasn’t counting on was meeting a “savior” with fathomless, dark brown eyes. Aaron McShane gave up a lucrative Silicon Valley career to live the dream of owning an independent music store in downtown Hayward. His responsibilities have kept him from finding and settling down with the right person, but he wouldn’t have it any other way. With his bicultural, multigenerational family all under one roof and giving him grief, he takes on a second job doing security at his favorite venue so he can escape and be close to his first love: music. What better place, especially when one gets to rescue a pregnant damsel in distress with a gorgeous mane of fiery red hair? These two music lovers are thrust together just when they each needed something to hold on to. Can their fledgling love withstand the pressures of family, grief, and violence? Music brought them together, will it help them heal together? THIS NOVEL CONTAINS SCENES OF AWKWARD, GRAPHIC SEX, LOSS AND GRIEF, SURVIVING CANCER, INTERFERING GRANDMOTHERS, OBNOXIOUS TEENAGED TWINS, BULLYING, SENSELESS VIOLENCE, AND GROSS DISPLAYS OF HAIR METAL-ESE. NOT FOR THOSE UNDER 18.
MY REVIEW
Stevie is a Rock loving woman who is right now bringing a new life into the world and is estranged from her baby daddy. After being kicked out of their apartment and moving in with her best friend and her two children. Stevie and Maryland head to a concert and Stevie has a chance encounter with well the man of her dreams . After he catches her when she stumbles . Aaron a sweet guy who left a good paying job to start his dream of owning his own music store and helping his family out. He can't shake the goddess he met while working security for a venue. Hoping that he will find her again. They find each other and hopefully that they can survive what is going on in their lives when a loss breaks her heart and family pressure pulls at Aaron. Will they be able to handle all the pressures that are building up or will they fall apart .
Ok not only are these two characters interesting they have really interesting names . Stevie Nann Wilson, just think about that one . Aaron Ali Salaam McShane, you have to read the book to find out that backstory. Stevie is a sweet woman she teaches high school and loves music . She is also kind of a loner and has one really good friend. There is a sadness around her and her worst fear is being left. With everything that she has gone through she still has a light in her that shines brightly and attracts people to her. You will love her and cheer for her through out the book . With Aaron we get a fun loving guy who left a great paying job to follow his dream. He is tall and sexy and fun loving but there is also a lot weighing him down as in helping his family, while his dad battles cancer. Keeping his twin brothers out of trouble and trying to find the woman that will be his other half. He is a bighearted guy who doesn't mind doing what needs to be done to help out family . They seem like they are made for each other and they do have some bumps in the road but they do figure it out (hopefully) Stevie's best friend Maryland is a no holds barred shoot from the hip kind of woman. She will pick you up and give a dressing down at the same time. She wants nothing but good things for Stevie and will be her cheerleader always. Schroeder is the same for Aaron , he maybe the quiet one but when push comes to shove he will put Aaron in his place and make him think of what is going on . I actually love these characters, and they are so well written.
This is a book that you will get sucked into. The author takes us on a romance that isn't all wine and roses . The author shows us the good and the ugly side of falling in love . The happiness and the insecurities that come out when you do find the right person. There is a lot that goes on in the book including loosing a child, bullying and violence. The author handles it well and does write with feeling of sadness but a triumph of healing through out. There are parts of the story that will bring tears to your eyes and then parts that you want to slap both the main characters up side the head to knock some sense into them and then you will sigh and smile when it finally and hopefully works itself out . This would be a fun book to read at the pool or the lake so check it out
