This book started out a little shaky for me, I wasn't sure what to expect.  It started out with an 8yr old Zoey, not being cared for by her drugged out mom. It was a very heartfelt start of the book. Zoey spent her life in and out of adoption, until she was adopted by a loving family.  A family that loves her as their own. In the process, she also gained brothers who all love her the same. The whole family are in garage business fixing cars, which Zoey learned to love herself.Then there's Lovable 28 yr old Andy from New Zealand, my new book boyfriend. Andy also had a hard past, he lost his whole family in a car crash and he's the only one who survived. The difference between him and Zoey is, he was loved by his family very much before their tragic accident. After losing his family, he had a hard time dealing with life. He started sleeping around not having a care in the world. Until he realized what he became, he swore to himself he will never mistreat women again. Then he moved with his Aunt and Uncle to the states.Years later...Andy moved in as the new hired mechanic for the family business, this is when the story started to get really interesting to me. The first day they met, Zoey and Andy felt a connection right away. That same day they were out Andy saved Zoey from her crazy ex-husband. Since that day they were inseparable, they started spending a lot of time together and became fast friends. Mutual attraction was definite, they  couldn't stop themselves from feeling anything but love for each other. Since Zoey had a rule to keep everyone at a distance, she tried to keep away from Andy when she realized where they were headed. Until one day she finally gave into her feelings for Andy and they decided to take it one day at a time. I mean Andy is just perfect, his kind, loving, protective, funny and gorgeous. Who in their right mind wouldn't fall in love with the man?  Of course I can't forget the music in the book. I love how Zoey and Andy use music to communicate, like the title of the book The Reason. Music really does heal your heart and your mind.Things were going great with Andy and Zoey until another accident happens...a big cliffhanger at the end.I hate cliffhangers, but I am so in love with Andy and Zoey's story I can't wait to see where the 2nd book will take them. Until the next installment...
