***This book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.***I really enjoyed this book. One of my favorite things about this author is that she can write a sweet story without a ton of drama, and I think that’s a rare find in the New Adult genre.Evan and Haven were both likable characters. He was trying to distance himself from the Hollywood lifestyle he’d sort of fallen into while she was desperate to break into the music business. When their paths cross, sparks fly!I really like this take on the Hollywood heartthrob. It takes a lot of courage to walk away from the adoration and lifestyle you are used to and reexamine your life to find out if that’s what you really want. For me, that’s what made Evan likable from the start of the book. When his life got out of hand, he didn’t sit by and watch it spiral out of control. He took himself away from the situation and made some changes. From the second he spies Haven, he was instantly drawn to her, and I love that it was his protective instinct that kicked into gear and drew them together. Evan was always so sweet and kind.After going away for college and getting a taste of life off the island she’d spent her entire life on, Haven was ready for more. She just didn’t realize it would come in the form of Evan Carlson. Haven was gutsy and determined, and she seized every opportunity that came her way.When Evan, who has been masquerading as ‘Jay’ in an attempt to gain some privacy, starts to fall for Haven, things really start to spin out of control. Evan and Haven had chemistry from the start. Haven was so spunky, and Evan found it impossible to resist.I thought the pacing of this book was perfect. There might have been instant attraction for Haven and Evan, but their feelings came slowly as they got to know each other better. It never felt rushed or glossed over–just a simple love story with a few bumps along the way.As with the other books I’ve read from T.A. Foster, I think this would be a fantastic beach read!I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a sweet love story with likable characters!
