Have you ever read a book that you loved so much you were sad when it was over because you couldn't be a part of their life anymore? This was one of those books for me! This book grabbed a hold of me and still hasn't let go! I loved so much about this book that I can't even give it justice because I could write about this book for pages!This is a follow up to Give Me Love and can be a stand-alone, but you get more of the story about the band and the friends by reading it first.  It's also amazing, so worth it to read before hand!In this book, the band, Jamieson is really riding up the charts and starting to become a big deal.  This in turn leaves everyone crazy busy and Mac, the manager hires an assistant.  Enter in Quinn Salisbury.  Quinn is broken, alone, and has started out life in a rough way which has left her scared and afraid.  Her best friend drags her to a bar and she ends up having a hot and steamy night with one Travis Valentine.  She later learns on her first day of work, that he also happens to be her new boss' brother! Awkward....or convenient?Travis is smitten with Quinn and discovers early that she gives him peace after dealing with all the rough things he sees at work.  Quinn, despite her instant attraction and desire for Travis, has baggage and feels it's unfair to commit.  Her heart and Travis have other plans and she discovers she has a new family composed of all that is Jamieson and the Valentines.  Unfortunately, her past had a way of catching up to her and she finds herself in danger.  Travis is committed to keeping her safe and Casey, his roommate and BFF backs him up.  We get up close and personal with Casey in this story which sets up what is to come in book #3 Give Me Grace expected out in January.I loved this book even more than I loved the first one, and I had mad love for the first one.  Although this book wasn't as funny as the first (except the shenanigans that go on in the duplex), this was a great story.  It had better flow than the first book and there was non-stop action and so many sweet moments that it just made my heart smile.  I love the females in Kate's books.  They are all overcoming something and are so strong that you can't help to admire them.  They stand up for themselves, don't take crap from anyone and they move forward and love each other.  The love story was so warm and tender, but yet extremely hot and steamy.  I loved watching Quinn become herself in this book and loved seeing her believe in life again.  What a remarkable story!I'd give this book more than 5 stars if I could! Loved, loved, loved this story!My favorite quotes from this story:"I watched you.  From the moment you walked in that bar, I saw you.  Amongst all the shallow and the fake, you looked like spring, and then you got close and I was right because you smelled like jasmine.  When you turned around to leave I thought I was wrong because why did someone as sweet as spring think that life wasn't meant for her? There was no light in your eyes, and somehow, even though I barely knew you, it left an ache in my chest.  How could I let you walk away?"- Travis"I'm keeping you, you know that, right?"- Travis"Perfect is for people who don't know how to be real, and I don't want any of that.  I want you."- Travis
