4.5 stars for SE's new series!I have to admit that I was afraid to read this new series because I was so invested in her Evolve series and those characters. I wondered if anything else could possibly live up to the high standards the author already set.I am pleased to report that I really enjoyed this book. Lizzie is a feisty and hilarious female lead and watching her grow through the struggles she has faced was amazing. Her character at the end has come so far from the beginning of this book... and it all boils down to Cannon. Cannon freaking Blackwell. Le Sigh... Yep, SE has given us a whole new crop of book boyfriends who will each be getting their own stories.Cannon is a sexy musician down on his luck until fate/destiny/whatever you want to call it, leads he and Lizzie together. I won't rehash the blurb or spoil the story because it's too good to ruin but basically, they save each other. Cannon is exactly who Lizzie needs to help her battle her demons and Lizzie is the force Cannon needs to become a better man, the man he's always wanted to be.There is definitely some angst here, much more so that SE's previous Evolve series but the message of love and friendship ring true and deliver a fine HEA.SE's writing is solid though I found a few places hard to follow I think due to word choice which is why this didn't get all five stars from me. I also had a bit of a hard time connecting to Cannon since his POV doesn't show up until a little after the 50% mark. It makes sense because really, this was Lizzie's story but I just kind of wish I had known Cannon a little more. Cause the man is HOT. There is a great balance of humor, drama and steamy sex to keep you on your toes.I highly recommend this series and no worries that the other books aren't out because they will all be stand alones. You'll fall in love with Conner, Jarret and Rhett as well. Don't hesitate to pick this up, you won't regret it!
