Keira wins a contest to meet with a top Heavy Metal band.  A few days  of band life, pictures, parties, the guys!  OH yeah!!  But Keira could care less about it.  Her bestfriend, Jamie made her sign up.  It was really Jamie would wanted to be there.  But Keira and the guys bond over her normal-ness and not seeing them as just a piece of meat.  Keira’s current boyfriend, Landon isn’t happy with her traipsing all over the globe, she needs to be at home, where she belongs!  It soon becomes apparent to everyone that Landon is a control freak jerk and she is better off with out him.  When Keira goes home, things aren’t always greener on the other side.  Jamie and her fiancee break up, the band stops by for a visit and Landon, well he’s being a jerk again.  Nick and Keira realize they like each other and sparks start to fly.  For once Keira feels safe with Nick, cared for and loved, not controlled or used.  Nick shares pieces of himself with her, that he has never shared with anyone else.  Secret things.  Keira shares herself with him too, things only Jamie knows.  Their bond grows, their love grows.  Then fate steps back in and her past is back terrorizing her.  Can she keep the people she loves safe?  Only if she pushes them away.The end is a cliff hanger and freaked me out!  I thought everything would be nice and resolved in book #1 and then book #2 would be about another band member.  Nope.  Keira and Nick’s saga continues in book #2.I didn’t like Keira at first, she was too rude, too bitchy, but then I realized why.  I didn’t understand how she could be so mean to the band, but to Landon she was a push over for those 5 years with him.  Then she grew some balls and put him in his place.  But he tried, man did he try to win her back.  Dude, get a hint!  Nick’s story had me crying, I felt terrible for him.  He was a moody bastard too, locking people out, not talking.  I’d have walked away from him too.  But there was something about Nick, that pulled me back in.  Not that he is a rock star or hot.  I think because he understood Keira’s story to some degree and they could connect.  His compassion towards her.[...]
