Book One; Because Of Luke, (Lewiston Blues)Four Stars.I was drawn into this book straight away, four bad guys, all pierced, tattooed and in a rock band no less! "I can promise you, I know what kind potential the band has. I know you're more than sexy voice's, ink covered bodies and questionable piercings."But it's not all it seems, there's heartbreak and anguish here too, we have one brother who wants the band to succeed, no matter what, he gave up everything so he is not going to stop now! and then we have the other, who plays in the band also but wants to stay in college, torn between college and his brother, who he feels he owes, and the band, what choice does he have?You see, Lucas is good, people cared of what he actually thought 'I never imagined I'd be good at debating or writing papers or even planting my ass in a seat for two hours straight. But I love it. It's different and after the effed up life I led. I need it bad.'Two different brothers, Two different sisters, but will their worlds crash?What better way to introduce our main man, 'God he's hot. So hot it should be illegal'! Of course I'm talking about about Lucas.So, by now your probably thinking, who's Lucas?Well Lucas is the quiet, college boy, with a troubled past and he plays in his brothers rock band.He keeps his head down and study's hard, until he comes across Shannon. who slowly makes him wonder!We get introduced to two sisters (sheila and shannon) both under strict rules so instantly you feel for these girls, they are trying to get of a stifling house of rules and conformity, they want a good time, they want to party and hard!These two sisters both cover for each other, (who hasn't done this?) This drew me to the book even more, real life situations.One night it all goes a bit wrong, Shannon didn't get back in time, (again, we have all been there!)Shelia, is the youngest of the two sisters, wild, rebellious, and likes to party, and is in love with the band and she does everything she can to get closer to them and a certain guy..Shannon, is the oldest and was once like her younger sister so she knows what is going to happen but then Lucas happens....But and here is the catch, both fall for same guy! but they don't know this yet!'Don't they know what kind of pain it induces in girls like me? Girls who are trying so damn hard to be good"Of course this relates to Lucas, both sisters feel this way but neither knows that the other knows him and same goes for Lucas.So when Shelia ups and leaves to become the tour manager we delve deeper into the world, one brother trying to stay on the straight and narrow and the other into hopeful stardom!This quote hits the band on the head "You're the scholar, Roscoe's the playboy".There's more to these boys then meets the eye.The two sisters are brought up to be religious 'I'm reverend Carlson's daughter. No way are my parents letting me travel around the country with a group of guys this summer. I may have just vanquished one impossible feat but my journey's only just begun'.Who hasn't felt hard done by? We all have, This is another reason why this book jumped out me, in certain ways I think we can all relate to these girls and these boys pull on our heart strings, we all like a bad boy and I think we all love a quiet boy, I know I do!Anyone who reads this book will have their heart captured, the deep dark Roscoe and the quiet, hard working Lucas.The two brothers have completely different views on college and rock stardom, " I'm so sick and tired of my life. It's not supposed to be this hard. I'm seventeen. Graduating in a few months. All I'm trying to do is make a way for myself so that I have something to run to when this is all over,"So is it going to be a happy ever after or does it all end in tears and heartache?
