I really enjoyed this book. It had a good plot as well as pace. There was a lot of drama. Sometimes it made me chuckle and other times I choked up. You experience a lot of emotions while reading this book or at least I did. I didn’t want to put this down so no problem with keeping my attention. I loved Ava and Bran together I didn’t like how the executives handed out drugs for a quick fix for things. I am pretty sure that is realistic. But I did like it showed the shadier side of the industry. I felt this was a great read. It was a little confusing at times. I would have liked a lot more backstory. But I also loved how it showed what an up and coming band goes through. I loved the characters and the ins and out of this story and I recommend.

2.5 stars

From the blurb of this book, I was hoping for a very angsty and good read. But instead, it was too confusing, specially the first half of it.
A lot of characters are introduced, but they weren't given much background.
The hero and heroine frustrated me a lot, to the point of being annoying and immature. Unfortunately I was notbleft satisfied with this one.

4 1/2 Stars ... this is a very emotional read!

Bran is the tortured lead singer and songwriter for his band Silva, who are at the beginning of their career. The band travels to Australia to record their first record with the brilliant producer Dix. Ava is Dix's assistant and is the person responsible to keep the artists in line and on schedule. The minute Ava sees Bran she is mesmerized and can hardly speak around him, but Bran doesn't have that problem ... all he can do is snarl mean things at her. His bandmates tell him to smarten up and be nicer to her or the record label might kick them to the curb. He begins to see Ava in a new light ... she is not like other girls. After a party, they give in to the electrical current running between them and sleep together. Ava knows that this will never go anywhere, as Bran is a one-night stand kinda guy like most musicians, but Bran likes the fact that she doesn't fall all over him and stands up to him.

This book deals with painful childhood scars, heavy drug use, addictions, obsession and more. You will laugh at times in this book, but mostly your heart will break ... it's a very emotional read and one that shouldn't be missed! I can't wait for book 2.

I graciously received a copy from the author through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

Great book! Will definitely be reading more from this author

Sorry
It was just too hard to read the Australian context but premise seemed interesting. Didn't rate anywhere.
Thank you just the same for opportunity.

I loved the undercurrents that rocked Ava and Bran's relationship from the onset. It made this not just your typical romance novel, but with the guilt, pain, desire and passion- it was worth the read.
