Release Date: 7 March 2014
Bobby Beckerson was the American All-Star hockey player--he was the spitting image of perfection to his family. Goofy, sweet and undeniably gorgeous, he had everything but the one girl he wanted: River Ahlers.
River Ahlers is successful in everything but love. She's been in love with Adam Beckerson since they were kids. Worst of all she's stuck right in the middle of the brother's dueling over everything and anything, and she doesn't even know she's the ultimate prize.
Adam Beckerson was a boy with a guitar, a smile that sunk girl's hearts and a stone wall around his own. He was anything but perfect, and no matter how hard he tried he was nothing compared to Bobby. Sweet, damaged, with boyish good-looks, nobody thought Adam loved anyone but himself.
Bobby loved River, River loved Adam and Adam only loved himself--or so everyone thought. Then one night everything changes, and as it threatens to destroy everyone involved a tragedy strikes that will break them all…

Excerpt
I nodded my head and
watched as Adam’s hand lingered on the neck of the Ibanez™ before he picked it
back up and slipped the strap over his shoulder.
I sat on the edge of
the bed as he began to play without an amplifier.
The noise was tinny
without the electric part hooked up but that didn’t matter. Adam’s
fingers moved effortlessly from fret to fret as he strummed the guitar. His
head nodded ever so slightly to the beat and his bare foot tapped the floor as
he closed his eyes and a smile formed on his lips.
I stood and placed my
hands around his neck, yet he continued to play, nod his head and tap his foot
with eyes closed. The only change was on his lips as they crept into the
seductive grin.
I leaned into him,
letting my hands comb through the hair on the back of his head as my breath
washed over his lips.
Still nothing. The
guitar continued to hum with his talent.
I let my lips hover
over his, then let them wander over the soft skin of his neck and up the stubble
of his chin. The beat remained smooth, undisturbed as the strings squealed and
he deepened the riff.
I paused as my lips
reached his again, lingering at the corner of his mouth where the cold metal of
his lip ring teased me just as much as his fingers on the guitar.
I let my mouth run
over the metal until it caught in my teeth and I sucked it in.
Finally, his body
reacted tensing as he groaned—but his playing didn’t cease, didn’t change. He
still resisted, hand strumming a tease over the strings next to the skin of my
belly.
His mouth responded
to mine as I let the ring and his lip slowly slip away from me. That was it—
the guitar spun to his back and he yanked my hips to his own.
“I need you to play
me like that guitar,” I gasped as his hand tilted my head and his tongue ran
over my trembling neck.
His other hand
drifted down my torso.
“Good, because I
wasn’t done with my song,” he growled into my ear.
My Opinion 5 STARS
My Opinion 5 STARS
** I received a free copy of this book from the author for an honest review**
OMG I LOVED THIS BOOK. I mean I had tears running down my face and everything, I struggled to out the book down at all and am desperate, DESPERATE I tell you to get my hands on book two. I can't tell you how glad I am that I gave this book a chance.
There is practically everything you need in this book. I love triangle, angst, fighting, good friends, nasty parents and true love. The only thing that could have topped it to make it slightly better were more involved intimate scenes that were only glossed over. (But that's just my petty opinion).
You really feel a connection to Bobby, Adam and River, you can't help but get sucked in and love all of them. River is stuck in the middle and you can't help but feel for her at times. All of them pluck at your heart strings and the feelings are so real and raw.
Yes there were a few typo's, but by this point I really didn't care, the story topped it. This is a brilliant NA novel.
