Okay, wow. First of all, I totally misread the blurb because this book wasn't anything like I expected it to be. You know that moment when you go to take a big sip of your drink thinking it's Coke, but get a mouthful of sweet tea, and you are just like wtf? Well, that's how I felt. I like sweet tea...like, a lot, so no harm, no foul. I just was expecting Coke.So, for whatever reason, I expected a rock book. You know, typical rock book. All manwhore rock guy with groupies everywhere and poor, helpless heroine trying to steer clear, but making stupid decisions anyway. That is soooo not what this book is. Honestly, this book was a breath of fresh air. It was emotional. It was deep. It was charming. It was mature!  It took me a little while to get into it, but once I did I was hooked. I loved Katrina and Abbey. Both were beautiful and some moments took my breath away. There is just something about a book based on a widow and her child that sucks me in and grabs ahold of my heart. It took a little while for me to like Adrian, but I fell in love with him. His flaws, his reclusiveness, his booze, the whole kitten caboodle. His tenderness with Abbey, oh man. To die for.This book was refreshing and different and for that, I say hats off to you Jessica. It was beautifully written and just so....real and tender. You made me a believer in second chances, that's for sure!*Copy kindly provided via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
