When Drake and Lana met Lana knew Drake was to old for her and that they would always be friends, and even though she wished for more she loved Drake all the same. Drake had a devastating childhood and turned to alcohol to dull the pain till he drank himself into a stupor everyday, but his life changed the day he helped Layla move and met her sister Lana. Drake knew he was to old and that Lana deserved better but he was drawn to her and she eased his pain and made life without alcohol possible. As Drake and Lana spent more and more time together they became best friends and fell more in love but never moved past friends. When Lana turned eighteen events happened that made Lana realize that she needed to take care of herself and save herself from the pain Drakes drinking and self destructive lifestyle caused.Lana moved to New York and has moved forward with her life but she has never been able to move on from Drake. She's grown closer to his brother so when she finds out that Drake and his brother SHane are moving to New York she is shocked. Drake hit rock bottom and after loosing Lana decided it was time to get help and be worthy of Lana, and moving to New York was just another part of plans to make Lana his. When Lana see's Drake she can't deny the love she still feels but pain and distrust keep her guarded, till neither can deny their love. But Drakes rode to recovery isn't as easy as he thought and his moment of weakness may take away everything he loves in his life.I liked this book way more than book two I was happy that this book didn't revolve around Emmie but still got frustrated with her being "in charge" of everyone and every thing. I loved loved loved Drake he was so broken and wounded and though he made huge and I mean HUGE mistakes I couldn't help love him. not only did I love Drake but also his brother, I can't wait to have his book and his hea. Another pleasant surprise was how Jesse finally seemed to realize that Emmie wasn't everything in the world and he showed that Layla, Lana and Lucy were his top priority and his family, his possessiveness toward anything Lana was really sweet and I loved all of his protective moments with her.  I also really liked all of the new characters that are introduced in this book and seeing the rockers interaction with Lana, the care and protectiveness they showed was yet another great aspect of this book. This series seems to be getting better with The progression of the stories and the writing. This is a perfect quick summer read that I really enjoyed and made me want to read the next in the series.
