About this listen

Gemma can’t seem to escape the constant reminders of her brutal past. But when her secret college application succeeds, she jumps at the chance to start a new life away from her damaged daily existence. And though singing with a sexy stranger stirs her soul, she suspects his intentions aren’t pure.

Indie band front man Hendrix is plagued by guilt over his family’s heartbreaking history. But when he meets the shy new girl on campus, he finds a path to forgiveness. And as he slowly falls for her quiet courage, he vows to keep her safe.

But Gemma is still in danger, and a rising threat looms to shatter the fragile healing she’s found with the aspiring musician. And with Hendrix desperate not to be responsible for another deadly tragedy, he’s terrified they’ll be torn apart.

Will their destiny collapse under pressure, or will they find strength in a selfless love?

Love this!!

Gemma and Hendrix are so darn cute! Listening to this book takes you into their story and makes you feel like you are standing right there with them. Like you get to live through the experiences that they both have as it happens. Their story starts out nice and slow, building from a shaky start into a solid foundation of love. Hendrix's sister, Mackenzie, is their staunchest supporter, helping Gemma grow out of her shell to become the woman who falls for her big brother. Hendrix stands by Gemma after learning of her devastating background, never letting her horrible past stop him from loving her. Obstacles are thrown at them and they won't be easy to overcome. Together they must stand fast against all negativity that flows in their path.

scary real

I listened to this on Audible. Its a first time hearing this narrator and she does amazing job. This is also my first read by this Author!! Omg amazing writing skills. Situations in the book with high sensitivity are so descriptive it pulls at your heart as you your self invision them. The reality is situations in this book really happen to people. The good hearted characters are so likeable and the bad characters are so easy to hate. What a slow moving innocent love story with so many obstacles.
Gemmi what a charming girl. Mac what a good hearted girl. Oh my Henricks hot patient loyal soft hearted fall in love with his very essence...

I still wonder if Gemmas father has something to do with the accident or her incident... also whats this girl and zacks motives for ruining and harrassing them.

cant wait for the next book in the series. This is an Author to follow for sure!!
