Reviewed by DawnI was so excited when I heard Nicole was giving Rhye his own story and she certainly didn't disappoint. Rhye may seem like a self-centered jerk, but he acts that way due to past traumatic circumstances.Rhye Clark, 22, is the lead singer in the rock band, The Mavericks. His life revolved around sex, drugs alcohol & music. He gets one more chance to straighten up or he's out. An ultimatum is made and he must follow it. Rhye is being sent to Nashville to record another album.  His manager would also like him to record a duet, but he hasn't mentioned who he has in mind.Syn Landry, 19, is a country music star. She left for Nashville right after graduation and was discovered six months later. She was told that she needs to try some pop/country like all the other young country singers were doing. She didn't like the idea but would try. Syn also knew she would be doing a duet with someone for her next album.When Syn meets Rhye, she feels some kind of weird connection to him but he doesn't reciprocate. However, after meeting her again, he has to wonder what's going on between them. Rhye is stubborn & hot headed and doesn't feel any good should come to him. Especially not anything like love. He loved once and swore he'd never love again. Syn feels like she needs to help him in some way. What will come of Rhye and Syn?  Will they record some songs and go their separate ways?  Will Rhye be able to change his ways before he kills himself with all of his self-destruction?This story was very touching. It was heart breaking, emotional, dramatic and sad, but there were also some happy, funny moments that made me laugh a little. My heart was hurting for Rhye and I hoped that he would get it all figured out and be able to live a happy, loving life. There were many ups and downs that tore at my heart and many times I just wanted to shake Rhye to wake him the heck up.Thank you, Nicole, for another awesome story!  I wondered why Rhye was the way he was and now knowing his story puts it all in perspective.In order to understand some of the characters in this book, check out Nicole's first two books in this series before reading Wasted Heart. They are also a 5 star rating from me.Ruining MeRuining You
