“Love has no middle term – either it destroys, or it saves.” – Victor Hugo. Les MiserablesHello, my name is Jodie and I am a slut for rock star books. I am not lying if there is a rock star in the book I am going to read it, if there is a tattooed, tortured, rebel rock star I am going to not only read it but I will probably try to sleep with it. I have no shame in my game. So when I seen Caisey had written not only a rocker but a bad boy, three time rehab drop out, I was all over it!“My mind wants to wrap its self around you, to know you, every part of you. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the terrifying. I want it all.”So ya, that is how my body and mind work when I see rock star book. I want to live in it and Caisey definitely gave me something. We right off the bat get a glimpse of Van waking up in the hospital after an “episode” and with this “episode” he has just been told that he has two choices either rehab or see you later.“What is wrong with everybody. Can you people not get online and search lead signer in rock band and catch a god*** clue? This is how it is. I’m not doing anything other guys aren’t”Van is the type that puts on a front that he doesn’t care, but he has demons and his lifestyle keeps them away. So when he is faced with losing everything not just for him but the whole band, he accepts, and is sent to Second Chance rehab. Van’s attitude is, he will fake it enough to get through and then get back to the life he loves. That is until Stella Jo Chandler crosses his path.“Van.” “Stella.” A small fit of laughter burst from her. “Van and Stella. VanStella. Vanella!”“Babe, I can guarantee nothing we do together will be vanilla.”Warning ~ there is some insta love, insta connection, whatever you want to call it these two had it. I know I usually am one to say, “OH HELL NO!!” But it worked with these two, maybe it was Van’s attitude, maybe it was the fact him being on a ranch gave him a cowboy touch. I don’t know but it worked.“This what you want, cowgirl? Make damn sure, because I’m no quitter. Once we pass that point of no return, I don’t care if you beg, plead, or outright cry. There’s no safe word, no taking it back, and no stopping.”Warning number 2 ~ Get use to the word cowgirl because Van likes it and he uses it, a lot. I really think everything was used in this book, we had safe words, there was some bondage, a couple riding crops, and we definitely had a bad ass alpha male. Yep, Caisey crossed off all the categories when it comes to getting your attention. I am not lying it is all in here.“F***ing animal kingdom gone. Completely wild and no longer part of the human race. Just a mass of trembling nerves and need and want.”Overall I have to admit I enjoyed watching Van slowly change and overcome his addiction, accept his past and fall in love. There are definitely parts I wish I had more and I did find myself thinking certain parts are a bit rushed. But it is still a great read from Caisey Quinn and I can’t wait to see what more this series has to tell.** I received a complimentary copy from the author for an honest review **
