"I swear on a stack of supernatural and soppy romance novels that I will get my life back together, follow my passion again and never look back"Beaten down and wore out. Lost and unsure.Yes that I think sums up our Tara, when we meet her.She broke my heart. I wanted to hug her and say it's all going to be ok.Your enough..You can do this.Tara needs to find her way back to herself. Somewhere along the way life has caused her to remove herself from a key player in her own life.She needs to write her story again and see what lies in the chapters.It's a honest and sometimes crazy journey.She has a wonderful friend Kelli whom I wanted to keep for my own. She was supportive and understanding.We all need a BFF and Tara hit the lotto with hers.“Not for me, for Tara. She needs to get laid and she thought Mr Hotbod was a prime candidate.”Once she sets out and starts living. Well the fun starts.....Music is something she loves. She soon learns to love it again.In the process of finding her way she meets Riley. He is friends with Cooper, her BFF's other half.(Oh and let's not forget Cooper he is flipping hysterical. Adored him! He made me laugh a lot.)Riley is great. He is beautiful, and has his own baggage. (I mean wow! Read it.. Wow!)He is a military man. His past has some parts that are just bitter and ugly. However he is a good man and he and Tara have some heat. The It's so good you need to turn the pages faster kind. Lol.“Whether you’re lying here in my arms, or we’re a thousand miles apart, I will always love you. You will always be with me.”It would be so easy if I were to just say it's a simple melt your heart love story. However it is not.. We have yet another beautiful man in the picture. Cole.. Arrogant and frustrating.. Makes you want to scream.(Even though at times I think the only thing you might be screaming is his NAME) Did I mention he is a lead singer in a band? Oh shoot sorry!Once we see what he is really about.. Well hell I will be honest I was confused and frustrated.“Cole ticked every box in what I would ever want from a boyfriend, except for one thing. He was caring, thoughtful and attentive. He was funny and intelligent; he just couldn’t keep it in his pants.”Even the wtf's made me go oh why oh why.. I mean there are so many good hearted men. One common ground- Tara.This is where it got all muddled for me and I think I just wanted to scream.I loved Riley. I loved his heart and his kindness. I admired him. He had a goodness that just radiated from him. He is a very capable and loving man.  Then I would want to strangle him.Then I loved Cole. I loved the bad boy he tried to be, with the heart he hid. I loved his tenderness when he did not think anyone noticed. I loved his compassion and his forthcoming personality.  Then I would want to strangle him.I mean if I am being totally honest. I fell for Cooper and Marcus (really need to know more) and Jay.. (More please)I want a makeover from Jase and I want Cooper to provide me with my very own nickname.Heck I might be trying to figure this out for months.  Do not judge me, this book packs a solid punch with possible book boyfriends. Trust me.Tara once she started living did find herself surrounded by a wonderful and vibrant group of people. Then same as others I wanted to strangle Tara too. See told you invested!I cannot wait to see what happens next. Do we have a forever match and HEA? What does the future hold? Book two come on.. It's a great read by a wonderful new author. Congrats Lisa Edwards!I think I see great things in this authors future.  I would suggest this book and not think twice about it!
