When I started reading Always Enough, I didn't go in with any expectations, simply because I know it would be difficult for this book to match up to it's predecessor, Ever Enough.While Emilyn & Finley's story in Ever Enough was wrought with emotional roller coasters, devastation, loss, love and forgiveness, Always Enough matched it with sexual tension, chemistry, angst and a whole lot of HOT HOT HOT.I was glad for the change in pace, and I feel Stacy did a great job with this story, even if it didn't knock the Earth out from under me the way her first book did. I loved Harper and Kyler so much in the first book that when I heard they were getting their own story, I was impatient to read it.On the surface, both Harper and Kyler appear to have it together, when underneath they're just a hot mess. And when they are together, it's an even hotter mess that will end up steaming up your iPad/Kindle screen.Because of Harper's childhood, and turbulent relationship with an absent father, she has some major trust issues when it comes to men. She has buried herself by working hard and playing even harder - but with no strings attached. It has always worked for her, until she realizes that there is more to her relationship with Kyler.Kyler is on the verge of stardom, touring with his new band and doing the one thing he thinks he loves more than anything - performing. But he's no longer the young, naive boy he used to be, and he finds himself questioning what's important when his life starts to crumble. He comes to the conclusion that there is actually something, or rather someone, who he would give everything up for - his Harper.Watching these two navigate a normal relationship, when all they've ever been is friends who occasionally bonk like rabbits, is often comical but so real. This story was a true depiction of being in a relationship when both people have trust issues.In the end, after a few misunderstandings and mishaps along the way, Kyler and Harper end up being exactly who they need to be for each other. Needless to say, I was a hot, swooning mess after I read this :)I can't wait to see what Stacy comes up with next!** 4.5 Stars **
