This story is about Trista Lennon, a very smart 18 year old, who is much wiser than her years. She is getting ready to go to Stanford University and can hardly wait to get away from her everyday life. She's been going out with Clooney, a prospect from a motorcycle club, which one of her brothers is a huge part of. Trista had plans to break it off with Clooney once she arrived at Stanford. She knew that they would not ever make it as a couple, because she really did not plan be a part of the whole biker lifestyle for the rest of her life. Her parents are accountants and they have some dealings with some motorcycle clubs. Trista just wants to get out and away from all the violence that is surrounding her. Just before she leaves for Stanford, a VERY tragic accident occurs and changes all her plans. She is in danger and needs to be protected, so when her rock star cousin Talia, singer and song writer from Winters Regret, offers her a chance to come and stay with her and be her personal assistant, Trista is more than ready to accept her offer.The hero, Linx Carter, the bass guitar player for Winters Regret, is divorced and has two sons. His ex-wife is nothing but a partying money hungry witch. Link is so tired of all the woman wanting to jump into his bed just because he is a famous rock star, so when he meets Trista, he is pleasantly surprised that she is not star struck and wants to get to know the real him.Right from the get-go, they are very much attracted to each other, and they become really good friends. They help each other deal with the problems that are going on in their lives, and are just basically there for each other. It's not long afterwards however, that they end up becoming so much more to each other.The love/sex scenes are extremely sensual and scorching hot, be prepared to have something to cool you down, because you're going to need it.Just as Linx and Trista are ready to take their relationship to the next step, there is a HUGE twist in the events that play out that I did NOT see coming!! It really added to the overall story!I had no idea going into this read that the story was not complete. I am very invested in these characters and the story line, so I'm happy that Trista and Linx's story will continue on in book 2, In Too Deep, which should be released sometime in September. I am very much looking forward to seeing what will happen next for these Trista and Linx!
