I am a huge fan of Ruining Me and Ruining You, so I was thrilled to see there was a standalone novel featuring Rhye from these books.Rhye is a very troubled young man. He is battling demons within himself, some drug based, others psychological. He believes he is a bad person due to his past, and has lost his love of music. His record company wants to get Rhye's life, and career, back on track. They tell him he must stay drug free, have regular drug tests to confirm, and he has to do what they say with regard to his next album.Syn Landry is a young country singer who has found fame due to her voice. Her agent wants to try and bring country and rock together. Syn is happy to try, until she sees who it is they wish to pair her up with!Rhye takes an instant dislike to Syn, whereas Syn is instantly attracted to Rhye. He does everything he can to keep her at a distance simply by being himself. But Syn catches glimpses of the original Rhye, before drugs took over. She believes she can help him to become that Rhye again.The lengths which Syn goes to in her attempt to help  Rhye made me smile. I loved who she goes to for help, and how it all works out. Yet still Rhye's demons try to win over and Syn finds herself once more battling to prove him wrong.Having read the first 2 books I was amazed to find out a long hidden secret which explains a lot about something which happened in Book 1. However, if you haven't read the first 2 books it's not a problem as the author has Rhye explain exactly what happened in this book.Again the author has written a story which drew me in quite quickly and held my attention all the way through. It wasn't quite as emotionally packed as the first 2, but still had enough to keep me wanting to read on. I didn't love the book quite as much as the first 2, but I still liked it, if that makes sense!
