This is a great story in so many ways. Think YA meets NA and explode into a world that you can't help but love. Lyv is such a fantastic character. She lives in a world that is emotionally abuse (her mother), but works hard and always has a smile and brings sunshine to everyone else's world. She's got a fantastic best friend Ten (aka Tennessee). He's got his own issues with his mother but overall he's got it a bit better than Lyv. They find each other when they are children and because of Ten's influential family, Lyv's mothers restaurant finds itself on the "map" so to speak. So even though she'd love to tell Lyv "NO" on hanging out with Ten, she doesn't really have a leg to stand on and she knows it.Ten takes her out one night where they both meet Alexander. Both of them think he's hot but Alexander only has his eye on Lyv. They miss each other that night but Alexander doesn't give up and he finds Ten and sets something up so he can have some time with Lyv. They get along great and end up having a fantastic night together before Alexander has to move on for a Band Tour. Not too long after that Lyvv discovers she's pregnant. She doesn't care what happens between her and Alexander...she wants the baby no matter what. The only problem? Her Evil stepmother. I won't tell you what happens with the baby but that part of the story doesn't have a happy ending.Lyv makes it back to New York and manages to call Ten, who comes to rescue her. At this point she's already 18 and she stays with Ten and his two roommates Oliver and Andrew (who happens to be Alexander's older cop brother). She finally finds a home and things are looking up for her. Ten is sweet and takes care of her and Lyv kind of babies the entire male group. She ends up with Alexander again when he comes back for awhile, before leaving on tour again.I don't want to say too much. Lyv does find her own Happily Ever After. It might not be in the traditional sense but real life is hardly perfect and folks don't always get the HEA they think they want. Its still a happy ending though and the guy meant for her is a good choice. Solid and dependable and attractive and he has a very sexy side in the bedroom! ;)Anyways, if you enjoy YA/NA stories this is definitely a story to pick up.
