Add to GoodReads<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cSometimes, people come into our lives with the power to change us forever.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n 3 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n Shawn Lucas is a popstar who has lost his way. Famous since he exploded onto the music scene at age 15, he has become the puppet of his label, performing music he doesn\u2019t even like, and he has completely lost himself. He has recovered after spiralling into a life of alcohol and women, but has now become the victim of a crazed stalker who is becoming increasingly dangerous. Desperate to escape his life for a bit, and craving the safety of anonymity, his \u2018team\u2019 get him out of LA for a while, and he moves to Iowa to under the assumed name of Levi, to attend some college courses and enjoy a \u2018normal\u2019 life for a while.<\/p>\n Dakota is a girl who has lost everything. Following the devastating death of her sister, her family has fallen apart, and her dream of dancing at Juilliard seems gone forever. Instead she is following in her sister\u2019s footsteps, attending the University of Iowa for an accounting degree that will see her working at her father\u2019s business. It\u2019s not the future she wants, but it\u2019s the future she\u2019s now working towards, while trying to keep her family together and still struggling to deal with her crippling grief over her sister\u2019s death.<\/p>\n Dakota and \u2018Levi\u2019 meet on campus, and don\u2019t have the best first impressions of each other. In fact, it goes pretty badly, and their initial interactions are full of snark and antagonism \u2013 all highly entertaining.<\/p>\n \u201cUgh. Did you seriously just wink at me like some sleazy lothario?\u201d But Shawn recognises something in Dakota \u2013 a lonely sadness that he relates to all too well, and he finds himself drawn to her in a way that he hasn\u2019t experienced before. A slow friendship develops, and they both find themselves unexpectedly falling for the other.<\/p>\n \u201cWhy are you doing this? Being nice to me?\u201d As much as they are feeling it, and want to pursue the chemistry that simmers between them, Dakota doesn\u2019t feel ready for a relationship, and Shawn has no intention of dragging Dakota into the danger surrounding him. So all of that sexual tension just bubbles away as they grow closer, until it hits boiling point and they can\u2019t hold back any longer.<\/p>\n \u201cMy heart beats only for you, and I know you said you only wanted to be friends, but I can\u2019t just be your friend.\u201d He pulls me closer. \u201cNot when I want so much more.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I won\u2019t go into too much detail, because while it\u2019s pretty obvious where the story is going, the way it happens and all the twists and turns along the way are certainly surprising. There\u2019s no denying the connection that these two share \u2013 their sexy time is absolutely steaming, and more than that, their feelings for each other are sure and strong. But there is so much for them to overcome \u2013 not the least of which is Shawn\u2019s true identity \u2013 and it\u2019s a rollercoaster ride watching it all play out.<\/p>\n The strength of my feelings for this girl never ceases to amaze and unnerve me. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I really liked Shawn and Dakota as characters, and the love story between them is just gorgeous. Their feelings are intense pretty quickly, but these two both needed<\/i> somebody, a connection and understanding, and they found that in each other, and I loved seeing them find that in each other, and it worked for the story.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t lose her. I can\u2019t lose this connection. Not when I\u2019m finally starting to feel like me. Not when I\u2019ve finally found a girl worth living for. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n There is drama, intrigue and suspense as their relationship plays out, and while I enjoyed seeing them embrace their feelings for each other, there were aspects of their relationship that I struggled with. Some would call it angst, others would call it emotional turmoil, and there are plenty of readers who love that, but I call it annoying and I wasn’t a fan.<\/p>\n But regardless of my issues, I did enjoy this book. The emotion is really nicely written, I loved the elements of family, and the inclusion of Dakota\u2019s friends, and I was hooked, wanting so badly for Shawn and Dakota to get their happy ending! There\u2019s a fun tie in to Davis\u2019 earlier release Inseparable<\/em>, which I\u2019m sure fans will love \u2013 and even though I haven\u2019t read it, I thought that Devin was a fantastic addition to the story and I loved the friendship that he and Shawn developed.<\/p>\n The story ends well with lots of feels and a really sweet epilogue that finishes everything off nicely.<\/p>\n 3 stars!<\/p>\n An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Siobhan\u2019s family will tell you she\u2019s a little bit obsessive when it comes to reading and writing, and they aren\u2019t wrong. She can rarely be found without her trusty Kindle, a paperback book, or her laptop somewhere close at hand.<\/p>\n Prior to becoming a full-time writer, Siobhan forged a successful corporate career in human resource management.<\/p>\n She resides in the Garden County of Ireland with her husband and two sons.<\/p>\n Connect with Siobhan:<\/p>\n Amazon Author Page<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0 Website<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0 Goodreads<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0 Facebook<\/a> |\u00a0 Twitter\u00a0<\/a> |\u00a0 BookBub<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0 Author Blog<\/a>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n
\nReview<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n\u201cDid you seriously just use the word lothario?\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n\u201cI see you, Dakota,\u201d he whispers. \u201cAnd I want to help.\u201d He claws a hand through his hair, and I\u2019m envious. I want to be the one doing that. \u201cI know I shouldn\u2019t, but I can\u2019t fight it anymore.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/span>Spoiler<\/div>There was too much back and forth, stupid decisions that you know<\/em> are going to come back and bite them, and the most irritating aspect – their whip-fast turnarounds and lack of trust in each other. With all that they\u2019ve been through and all that they\u2019ve experienced together, I would have expected them to have a bit more faith in each other, and it was frustrating that that wasn\u2019t the case. And the issue with Shawn\u2019s true identify got drawn out too long so that the reveal becomes eye-rollingly stupid. And WTF was up with Shawn\u2019s assistant? Why on earth did it take him so long to scrape the psycho-clinger off? I get that he\u2019s a good guy, but come on!!<\/div><\/div>\n
