Then There Was You is the second book in the So Much it Hurts series. Since it was pretty clear that Chris played a pretty significant role in the first book I did a bit of digging through some reviews to get  the back story. Even knowing Chris’s history a bit I still felt like this book stands well on its own. A  large portion of this story takes place 14 years ago while Chris is serving time in a juvenile detention facility where Salem works as a counsellor. You get to see a really beautiful friendship build between  the 17 year old Chris and 24 year old Salem. Both in very vulnerable places in their respective lives,  they find hope in each other. Fast forward 14 years and Chris is now a successful rock star and Salem, a single mom of a 14 year old daughter. As their lives come together once again it is very clear that the connection between the two is still there but now it takes on a new dimension that neither of them saw coming! I really enjoyed this book, Then There was You was beautifully written, heartfelt and romantic and the slow build-up of sexual tension was so worth the wait! I also appreciated the fact that it is dual POV, I love getting into each characters head! I may have to go back and read the first book and I would love to see a HEA for the other members of Chris’s band ;)Dana
