Have you ever read a book and got done and thought WHY?  Why did you just do that to me?That is where I was at the end of Because Of Luke.I was cruising along, loving this book.  Loving the drama between the sisters and the brothers and even though all of them are making stupid decisions here and there I couldn’t help falling in love with Luke and Shannon and Sheila and even Ross.  Then BOOM! I got smacked with the ending.  It isn’t even that it was a cliff hanger.  I am ok with cliff hangers.  Man, that messed with my emotions way too much.  If I was a grudge holding type of person… I’m not.  I read the sequel, Blackout, right after I read Because of Luke because I had to see what happened next.  I know the ending to this one set us up for what was to come in the future but that was tough man.Two daughter’s of a preacher, two rock star brothers.  This pretty much spells out drama.The chemistry between Luke and Shannon was amazing.  Sheila drove me a little crazy until I thought back to when I was 17 – 18.  I would have acted the same way probably.  That got me thinking about what an amazing job that F.X. Skully did in writing these 2 sisters.  There was enough of an age gap that there was a maturity level difference.  Some authors don’t write the younger age as well as the older and vice versa but this book flowed smoothly back and forth between POVs, each character had their distinct style of speaking, their own way of reacting when it was there turn to tell the story.  It was excellent.Minus the ending that broke my heart and made me cry a bit and all that, I loved the book.  Let me hold on to my grudge for a few more seconds until I get into my review of the next book.Thank you so much for my copy of Because Of Luke that I was given to facilitate this review.
