This was my first Caisey Quinn book and now I want to read the rest of them. I really loved this book. While this book was about second chances, it didn’t have to do with second chances in love but in life. Both Van and Stella have had struggles in life, Van with addiction and Stella with feeling love and acceptance.Van and Stella meet while Van, lead singer to one of the top rock bands, goes to rehab. He has no choice. He is signing a new contract with a new label and it is a stipulation. If he doesn’t, he’s out of the band. But he’s a bad boy rocker. He feels that he’s no worse than any other rock gods.Stella is fresh out of college. She has the choice to going home and working on her parents ranch or working at Second Chance Ranch rehab facility. It might not be her dream job but its better than going home. Home is someplace where she never felt wanted, especially by her father.What I really loved about this story was that they were willing to help each other. They were patient. They know they want each other. Their chemistry is so hot, I thought the book would burst into flames. But if they give in, Van could be kicked out, which would mean his career would be over, and Stella could be fired. But eventually they just can’t hold out any longer and WOW! It’s explosive.To me, Caisey did a great job in how they came together. She didn’t push, they wanted each other but she made sure they knew the consequences and didn’t just throw caution to the wind, immediately. I love when authors make characters hold back. You get to see a side of characters you wouldn’t always see.She also respected Van’s addiction. He said more than once, that he could relapse. He would do everything possible not to but no one is perfect. He’s not automatically healed coming out of rehab. She made it very real.~Katie
