“They don’t often come as good as her, young man, and some of us have been by her side for a long, long time.  You start stepping in to take our place, you best plan on keeping the job.  Otherwise get the hell out of the way and let us handle it, ‘cause we ain’t going nowhere, ever.  Not looking to start all over when you breeze out as fast as you breezed in.”How do you know when fate steps in and throws your life into a complete tailspin?  One day life is how you’ve known it to be for who’s even counting how long…the next day, you question every detail of not just your past but your present and even your future?  Now, take into account that you have responsibilities no young woman should have…and a grudge held against the one person who may have all the answers…Meet Liz.  Having a passion for music, two best friends who share her tour bus and her band,  and family ties that stay close to not just her heart but pull daily on her heartstrings—and the money to support it all.  Thanks to a hefty inheritance, Liz can hold her grudges, take care of her responsibilities and presume to have fun.  Problem is, things stopped being fun a long time ago…until one day fate steps in Liz finds her band needing a guitarist…and a rest stop where one just happens to be waiting. Just for her.Cannon.“I can only promise you this, sir.  My awe and admiration of Lizzie is genuine and I’d die before I hurt her in any way.  I didn’t plan this road I’m on, nor do I know where it leads or ends, but I’m looking forward to finding out.”Who knows where life leads when an unexpected twist takes you to places you’d never thought you’d end up…now all she has to do is let go.  Just a little…not be afraid to fall every once in a while.  Cannon turns out to be more than just a member of the band despite Liz’s efforts to keep him at bay.  Now, she just has to trust her instinct…“All my instincts tell me to covet and cherish you fiercely, with each breath, and work harder to make you mine.  Each and every time you try to push me away, to put that guard of yours back up, I need to hold on tighter, chase faster.  Until my arms are the ones you want to run into.”When I first started this book, I cried.  From the very first chapter my heart was shattered and slowly it was mended back together again…only to be crushed by the answers I so desperately wanted but honestly had a hard time accepting.  There was only one other book that made me cry like this…and it too had a letter in it.  Funny how that works.  I can honestly say, I loved it.  Every single second of reading this book filled me with more emotions than I like to experience at one time.  It was amazing.Then again, reading an SE Hall book is an experience all in itself.  Every story this woman weaves is more Enticing than the next.  I have fully Embraced all that is this author and fall more and more in love with her work every time I turn the page.  As I watch these tales unfold, I become so enamored by how real they feel.  Pretty Instinct was no exception and this love story (on more than one level) was one of the most emotional I have ever read.  There are so many aspects to how the characters Emerge and Evolve that I can hardly contain all the feels…it is truly a passionate rollercoaster.**5 I Will Follow Him Anywhere Stars**
