Erin James knows all too well the noise of neglect and tragedy, and that her infatuation with her best friend older brother, Sean, is doomed never to blossom into something more.Sean Murphy isn't really in the market for a relationship. Even if he were, his sister's best friend isn't even on his radar.When the music ends, will these troubled lovers find a way to compose a life together?I so enjoyed this book. It’s nice and refreshing to read a very sweet romance book about two characters who truly love and care for each other and in the end just want to be together no matter what.Erin has had a crush on her best friend’s brother for years. He knew she had a crush but he never saw her as anything other than his sister’s sweet friend. Her best friend decided to play matchmaker and talked her brother into escorting her to the senior homecoming dance.That’s when the sparks start flying. Erin grew up with parents that never showed any kind of affection and love towards her so she doesn’t know when someone cares and she doesn’t know how to accept all those emotions.She also doesn’t really know how to deal with her feelings. Sean thinks that if Erin stays in their small town that he is holding her back. He pushes her to go to college and try to experience life, so she can make sure he is who she really wants.He ends up distancing himself from her while she is away at college but he never explains what he is doing. She just thinks he stopped caring for her and she in turn is devastated. Then her best friend pulls her matchmaking strings again and sets the two of them up again and they are finally able to talk and explain their feelings. They both still love each other and realize that their future together is what they both want desperately. There was a little bit of drama in the book but it was truly about finding love and showing each other what true love truly is.Well written, and characters I cared about I would highly recommend this book**NOTE: this is a steamy romance and contains graphic sex scenes.
