I received this for a honest review through Netgallery. I actually ended up getting the audio as well so I did Whispersync while reading this. I am going to do both ebook and audio book review here. With an audio it is important to have a great narrator. Not only did Michelle Valentine have a great narrator but she had two amazing narrators. Yes you read that right. She use Carly Robins and Alexander Cendese. They both were awesome.
Avery Jenson was getting ready to find out who her real friends were. Here she was at college and was having to deal with one of her sorority sisters cheating with her boyfriend. I just loved how Avery had plan dealing with it. Way to funny. This is also were her and Tyler Mercer met.
Tyler Mercer was smitten. There was something about this crazy girl that pulled him in. He long to get to know more about her. I bet he thought he would never see her again after the party but to his surprise here she was now in his hometown.
Avery’s life was falling apart. Her father’s action had embarrassed her, had taken a life style away that she was use to. I look at this as a blessing. Avery will get a chance to be herself. She will actually rediscover herself. It pulls her away from the snobby people that she was hanging around and might of become. It was giving her a chance to be some one that not only her father and grandmother would be proud of but that she would be proud of as well.
Avery and Tyler will get close. Tyler is a little complicated but he will find it hard to resist Avery’s charms. A man can only take so much before he gives in. Tyler had made some promises to his dad. These promise will also make him feel cursed if he does not fulfill them. Something real bad will happen and Tyler will blame hisself. This will be more the Tyler can handle. Will this destroy Tyler and Avery forever?
I so loved this story. You will find so much in this book; young love, hurt, pain, brokenhearted, selflessness, forgiveness, hope, and second chances.
Unexpectedly wicked
June 2, 2016 | By Old Dave's Romance Revue
In the world of Rock stars and the related sub-genre of romance novels, there's a way things work. Most bands, real or imagined are formed from a close knit group of friends, often including brothers, or guys that are as near to being brothers as you can get, and then sometimes additional members are added to that tightly knit group. Sometimes they work out. Sometimes they don't, but that set up creates the dynamic in which many authors create an equally tight knit series of interconnected standalone novels featuring the various band members.
Wicked White, the band featured in the series of the same name by Michelle A. Valentine isn't that kind of band, and the series of novels based on them are as disparate as the members of the group that despite being more hard rock than light pop, is nevertheless, still a manufactured boy band.
Tyler Mercer, the guy who will one day be known as Tyler White, drummer for Wicked White, his story starts years before the band's inception and oddly enough revolves around a promise he made to his dying father. A promise that has no room for romantic entanglements with a hot college girl who almost literally came crashing into his life.
Avery Jensen has lost almost everything in her world except for her father, and while he might be at least partially to blame for all of that, he's still her dad and he's still trying to do right by her, so together the two of them bundle up what's left of their worldly belongings and retreat back to the small town he comes from and move in with his mother, Avery's Granny.
Its a tough adjustment for Avery, leaving it all behind, but finding out that the hot, tattooed rocker she met briefly on campus before everything fell apart is actually a local in her new hometown promises to help ease the adjustment.
Tyler and Avery's story isn't for the faint of heart. There are parts that are sweet and parts that are sexy, but there are also parts that are tragic and downright heartbreaking, but friends and family, the good ones, they're always there.
Revolving heavily around those father/child relationships, relationships that are intrinsic parts of the makeup of each of the two main characters, this story was like nothing I could have imagined as part of series of books revolving around a rock band, and the ending took me completely by surprise.
Despite the shock though, I loved it.
