Full Tilt (Full Tilt Duet Book 1) Kindle Edition
Kacey Dawson has always lived life on the edge--impulsively, sometimes recklessly. And now, as lead guitarist for a hot up-and-coming band, she is poised at the brink of fame and fortune. But she is torn between wanting to be a serious musician, and the demons that lure her down the glittering, but alcohol-soaked path of rock stardom. A wrecked concert in Las Vegas threatens to ruin her career entirely. She wakes up with the hangover from hell and no memory of the night before, or how she ended up on her limo driver’s couch...
Jonah Fletcher is running out of time. He knows his situation is hopeless, and he's vowed to make the most of the handful of months he has left to him. His plans include seeing the opening of his glass installation at a prestigious art gallery…they do not include falling in love with a wild, tempestuous rock musician who wound up passed out on his couch. Jonah sees that Kacey is on a path to self-destruction. He lets her crash with him for a few days to dry out and get her head on straight. But neither of them expected the deep connection they felt, or how that connection could grow so fast from friendship into something more. Something deep and pure and life-changing…something as fragile as glass, that they both know will shatter in the end no matter how hard they try to hold on to it.
Full Tilt is a story about what it means to love with your whole heart, to sacrifice, to experience terrible grief and soaring joy. To live life with all its beauty, and all its pain, and in the end to be able to smile through tears and know you wouldn’t have changed a thing.
Full Tilt, a contemporary romance, is Book I in the Full Tilt Duet. Book II, All Inis now available.

Honestly I could drown on for hours about how deeply in love I fell with this book. The emotions it truly makes you feel are like no other. A definite difference from my usual reads, and it was a slap in the face on a reminder of why.
It’s 12:30am and I am sitting in my living room literally bawling my eyes out over the end of this book. It was beautiful, magical and so emotional. This book was written with love and true emotions we have all felt at some point in our lives.
The female main character was bubbly, energetic and everything I love about a woman. While our Male Main Character came in with a broody, reserved mindset but you fall In love with him quickly.
This book took me 4 days to read, and as short as it was it’s not a shock to me on why. The emotions run wild in this one, and they grasp you from the very beginning. Holding my heart within its hands it ripped it to shreds before attempting to piece it together again. I truly loved this story, it is one of love, fear, friendship and memories. I think this will truly live on in my heart forever. And from one reader to the next, take it with caution. It will destroy you, but from what I’ve read on reviews for book 2, hopefully the author pieces us back together again.
No regrets ever, not in this life or the next. I can’t wait to see what book two brings and I pray it brings a lot less tears.
I’ll see you in the next review you beautiful people.
Muah 💋

After a heart transplant, Jonah wakes up in the hospital with a second shot at life. A year later, he's working as a limo driver, just trying to stay afloat.

Kacey is in a band on the rise. She drowns her pain in alcohol and chaos, trying to silence the hurt of being abandoned by her family at 17.

5.0 out of 5 stars This unforgettable love story is worth a million tears! FIVE EXTRAORDINARY STARS!
Once again, my eyes are full of tears as I review another book by Emma Scott, because her stories inevitably shred my emotions and touch my heart. Just when I thought nothing could surpass the perfection of Long Live the Beautiful Hearts, Full Tilt proved me wrong. OMG, THIS BOOK! Jonah and Kacey's unforgettable love story grabbed me from the very first page and never let go, easily becoming one of the best books I've ever read. Please don't miss this incredible reading experience, but keep a box of tissues nearby. I guarantee you'll need them!
No lengthy plot summary from me this time; the blurb and numerous reviews are descriptive enough. But I can't pass up a chance to say how much I loved Jonah Fletcher, a true hero. His new heart may be failing, but his soul overflows with love as he rescues a troubled young rock star (Kacey Dawson) from a path of self-destruction. Traumatized by her father's cruel rejection, she's lost in an endless round of parties, booze and meaningless sex until Jonah opens his home and his heart to her, beginning a friendship that soon deepens into a profound and infinite love.
Even as his health deteriorates, Jonah and Kacey find happiness in each other, sharing each precious moment remaining to them. Kacey tells him, "We might not have months or years, but we have moments. Thousands and thousands of them. Let's take each moment, seize it and wring it dry." And they do. Their intimate sex scenes are heart wrenching and beautiful, especially their tantric sex near the end. "Tears filled our eyes as our bodies rolled and slid, driving toward a bittersweet crescendo of pleasure. Tears for love. For loss. For the weeks he had, and the years he didn't. For the joy and laughter, the heartache and grief. For this lonely man and the lost woman he'd rescued. For us, and the rapidly approaching time in which there would be only me." (Yes, I cried too.)
Jonah creates exquisite blown glass sculptures, and he's determined to leave a legacy--an installation of his work in the Wynn Galleria in Las Vegas. He hopes the exhibition will be attended by Dale Chihuly, a nationally famous glass sculptor. (I had the pleasure of viewing an exhibition of Chihuly's sculptures in Denver and gained an appreciation for this truly breathtaking art form. Thanks to Jonah's story, I now know much more about this creative process.)
Jonah and Kacey's love will last forever, because ". . . the universe is a vast place, and the soul of a human being is infinite, even if the body is temporary." But Kacey is not the only person Jonah loves. He's close to his parents but even closer to his brother (Theo), a brooding, talented tattoo artist who dreams of opening a shop of his own despite his father's disapproval. Theo also harbors another desire--a secret love for Kacey Dawson. Must his love remain a secret forever? And will Kacey find a way to heal her broken heart? I'm about to find out in All In (Full Tilt #2).
I especially want to commend the author for her research into the "complex intricacies of heart transplants and chronic rejection." These details made the story seem even more real (and heartbreaking). Full Tilt #1 easily rates five stars and my enthusiastic recommendation!

The writing in this book was wonderful. There was so much healing and acceptance on the pages. The pacing was perfect, I never felt like it was going too fast or dragging, everything was exactly the way it needed to be. While heartbreaking, it was also beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG! This book just broke my heart!
OMG! This book just broke my heart!
This beautiful, heartbreaking and unbelievable tragic love story, of which I cried or better yet was uncontrollable sobbing the whole last 15%, completely wrecked me.
This book is a reminder that we should be grateful for all the beautiful moments we take for granted every day. For our family and loved ones ❤
Kacey's and Jonah's story doesn’t end with a HEA, but their wonderful unique love story is so unbelievable beautiful and powerful.
I love them so much. They are perfect for each other despite that they are from two different worlds.
They are the definition of soul mates ❤
Kacey's is a young lost girl, who's method of dealing with problems and traumas is alcohol, drugs, and sex. She is longing for love and affection and this is the only way she knows how to get it.
Until she meets this to nice and to perfect driver...
Jonah has an agenda and a tight schedule to make his life as productive as possible. His days are perfect planned and he can't effort any distractions. Meeting Kacey is a big distraction, but he is drawn to her from the beginning and he can't stay away...
This book is an emotional roller-coaster, but also a beautiful story about love, life and self-forgiveness.
This is the first book in a duet and I hope the second book gives me a HEA, because I've no more tears left

5.0 out of 5 stars This book gutted me!
I had this this one on my kindle for months and I finally decided to dive in. AND I'm so glad I read it!! I totally understand why this story was loved so desperately by so many readers out there. Emma Scott had me turning pages way past my bedtime. Full Tilt is a true masterpiece and I loved every second of it. Flawlessly and poignantly written, Jonah and Kacey’s heart-wrenching, tragic, but truly beautiful love story touched my heart so deeply, I felt emotionally drained at the end of it.
This book was absolutely everything!!! I loved its unique storyline and the characters so much. Kacey and Jonah were so very well fleshed out and so real. I was spellbound by the depth of their connection and the force of the feelings binding them. At times I seriously thought my heart was going to explode from all the love and amazing moments that this story possessed. Other times I was so overwhelmed with emotion, crying so hard I couldn't see the screen of my kindle.
This is so much more than just a love story—this is a story of true love, a story of human endurance, of courage, about finding good in the now, about hope, and most of all a major life lesson we must all master in our spiritual evolution - living each day to the fullest like there is no tomorrow.
"I would love you forever, if I only had the chance."
Full Tilt has all the elements of perfection. This might not be a stereotypical romance and yet it is truly one of the most compelling, inspiring and romantic stories I have ever read. This book will get under your skin and there will not be a damn thing you can do about it. AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ!
