Rhye Clark is a hot mess. After become drug addicted at a very early age, he finds himself in a almost washed up rock star situation. Forced back into the recording studio by the executives that still have a monetary interest in Rhye. He is in no condition mentally or physically to be making music. This changes as he meets Syn. He wants her, but doesn’t realize the depth of his interest until she breaks down his walls with her genuine charm and personality. Rhye is brutally honest with Syn, and it made me cringe a few times. But you get glimpses of the real guy under all the bravado and drug haze, enough to make you root for him to overcome his addiction.Nicole Reed’s story is refreshing. I love her honest portrayal of a man struggling with a terrible drug problem. She doesn’t gloss over any of the negative effects Rhye goes through. She doesn’t instantly solve all his problems either. I love that she made Syn’s character so compassionate and loving, but not a person to be taken advantage of. Nicole’s writing is very detailed and you’re immediately drawn into the story. Her writing style is engaging and keeps you want to read until you finish the book in one sitting, like I did!The sex scenes weren’t as graphic as I expected a rock star read would be. But it didn’t bother me in the least. I like that Nicole slowly builds a loving and trusting relationship between Syn and Rhye before they do the deed. It made me want to invest in their relationship.I’m really glad I decided to read Wasted Heart. This being my very first Nicole Reed book, I know it won’t be my last. Her writing has me hooked. I give Wasted Heart 4.5 out of 5 stars!Written by Dee McGee - Booze, Bookz, and Bad Boyz
