For unedited review and much more juiciness:[...]It was so nice to get back to a tatted rocker book...it's been a hot minute. I really enjoyed the whole concept of the young girl left alone with not only a broken heart but a baby to raise alone after the love of her life left her to go pursue his rocker dream. There was good sexual tension, a love triangle to cause lots of emotional drama, and the added wild card of the adorable little girl that has never met her father. Theses are some of he reasons why I kept reading in order to also find the love of a rockstar (pun intended). When Luke struts back into Marlene's life she fights with her emotions that get all stirred up at just the mere sight of him. The lust is wafting through the air when they are together, but Marlene has years of built up anger towards Luke when he abandoned her and their daughter four years before. I love a good battle of wills and lust, so I was ready and waiting for the inevitable inhibitions to be thrown out the window.Marlene had a pretty steady life going for her. She had a job, a beautiful daughter who she loved, and a "kind of" boyfriend who treated her well. So when Luke comes back, he doesn't just cause ripples in her calm waters, he comes crashing in with waves of remembered passion. Marlene soon discovers during her short reunion with Luke, that she can't simply shut him out for her selfish bruised heart, their daughter deserved to know her father. Letting Luke meet with their daughter, brought up old feelings and unearthed new ones that melted down her icy barricade when she saw him interact with their daughter. This Luke seemed to be so different from the one who left them behind. His track record kept blaring up in huge neon lights, however...he left before so what stops him from leaving again?So after Marlene finally accepts that perhaps she can forgive him and has been flirting with the idea of finally being a family, her current boyfriend throws out an opportunity she never thought she could pass up. The battle begins to run rapid...safety and contentment with her current boyfriend or fiery passionate love that comes with dangerous possible heart breaking risks. Add in her daughter's insta-love for her newfound father and Marlene becomes a tornado of emotions.Well, I can say that all in all, I was pleased with this read. I have a delicious love/hate relationship with the whole "I must stay away from him because he is far too dangerous" kind of sexual tension in a book. It can easily become annoying for me if it draws out too long, but if done right, it keeps me glued to my Kindle for all the right reasons. This one was done just right for me. The main thing holding back the stars a bit, was that the ending felt way too rushed. The time they spent together was so limited and then by the end where everything finally came together, I was left a little bereft and wanting more. The meat of the book was really good though and I would definitely recommend this book to my fellow readers.Find me at: [...]Blog: [...]Goodreads: [...]
