** 3 1/2 Stars **I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.I liked this book, it had a cute story and of course the hot rocker guy. Who can resist a hot guy with tattoos? Not this girl :)This story is about Zach and Violet finally getting a second chance at love after 9 years apart. Their story stated while they were both young and at college, Violet was they carefree person who was open to anything new while Zach was a quite brooding genius when it came to music. They both connected on a deep level during their short time together, spending their days and nights creating beautiful music and poems together. But after one night of passion and Zach's sudden departure, they haven't seen each other since.Zach hasn't been able to forget Violet-like-the-flower. She was THE ONE, he knows this, but when he was younger he wasn't sure how to handle his feelings. He had a rough childhood and wasn't ever showed any love, so he didn't know what to do with Violet's, and has regretted leaving her that day ever since. Now he's stuck writing songs that he doesn't care for and has pretty much turned into a sellout. But his whole world gets turned upside down when he heads back out to Deep Haven to actually do something with his talent. The last thing he ever expected was Violet being there.Violet's life has been comfortable, there hasn't ever been any passion in her life since college, but she's safe from ever getting hurt. She has been with Shep, the guy she dated in college shortly after Zach broke her heart; that was until an unfortunate accident that had killed Shep. Now she's stuck trying to write a book that she has no idea how to write and that's how she ends up getting stuck at Deep Haven with Zach, she goes there to try to find some inspiration.Zach and Violet have a lot of obstacles they have to face before they are able to have their happy ever after. Zach knows exactly what he wants, he wants Violet and no one else, and he'll do anything to convince her that she is meant to be with him. However, Violet has major trust issues, and it seems that's where the book seemed to drag on for me. I completely understand how she is wary about Zach after what happened, but I don't know, I just didn't like how that was pretty much the main reason why they weren't together. Of course they had their difference, I mean who doesn't change within 9 years? But she seemed to be more focused on his flaws then what was actually good about him for a good portion of the book.Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the story and it's a nice read if you’re looking for some romance with some conflict but has a happy ending.
