This is my 3rd Siobhan Davis book, I got hooked when I came across her Mazzone Mafia series. And while waiting on the 3rd book to release I decided to read this book and I am so glad that I did! Ryder and Zeta's story is beautiful. It started off a little slow but it is necessary for you to get their backstory. And what a sad, horrible, gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, backstory that is. They both were förcëd to grow up in complete and utter hell. They are a product of their environment and didn't deserve what they've had to endure. Theirs is a beautiful ones in a lifetime kind of love that began when they were 16/17 years old. They locked eyes with each other from across the lunchroom and somehow knew they were meant to meet. They have an instant connection and quickly become friends. They spend the next year getting to know each other and they eventually become a couple. They along with their friend Lucas Young aka Luc try their best to keep their heads down, stay out of trouble and out of the way of their fellow inmates who are some of the most vicious kids around. Ryder's release comes and with that their inevitable separation. For the first couple of months he visits her weekly and does everything he can to get her help and get her out of the trouble she finds herself in. That is until his own troubled past comes back to bite him in the a$$. He is förced to leave Zeta behind and decides to move around for a while and then he's discovered while he's out busking on the streets. Ron takes him in and forms a band with Ryder as the lead singer. That discovery quickly leads to fame and riches, and the rest as they say is history. Eight long years go by and they've both moved on with their life's yet they've never forgotten about the other. While Ryder's on a path of self-destruction, partying, drinking, doing dŕügś, and sleeping with any and every woman that bats her eyes at him. Zeta's been trying to keep her head above water and keeping herself busy with her workload at the magazine she works for and with her random hook-ups. She is aware of Ryder's shenanigans because as a Rock star his life is plastered across magazines and on-line for the world to see. She goes through great lengths not to see what happens in his life but it's next to impossible! That leads her to more encounters with random men in hopes of forgetting him. Then she is førcëd to come face to face with him when her BFF and coworker Kayla isn't able to make it to an interview with him and his band because she's just had a baby. Things start off super rocky, and she declines the job opportunity to interview and shadow the band for a biography. It's a great opportunity for her career but she doesn't feel like ahead can be around him and the women who throw themselves all over him. He begs for her forgiveness and for a second chance but even though she loves him still she can't just forgive and forget the way he broke her heart when he up and left her. He eventually convinced her to take the project on and they start to rekindle their friendship. And slowly get back to where they were. There's still so many secrets that could cause them so much heartache, but they must come to light. When everything is said and done they get back together and are stronger than ever when more tragedy strikes. They had many hurdles along the way but love prevails and they get their HEA and it is well deserved after everything that they went through. I definitely recommend this book and everything by Mrs.Davis.

Popular Highlights in this book
“Because true love is being there for your significant other through the bad stuff as well as the good times. It’s caring for your partner when they’re incapable of caring for themselves. It’s being their strength in times of need. But, above all, it’s about forgiveness. And, maybe, just maybe, if you can forgive him, he can start to forgive himself.”Highlighted by 62 Kindle readers- “She’s embedded so far into my psyche that I’ll never be able to forget her, and there’s a sick part of me that doesn’t want to. A part that clings on even when there’s no hope of anything changing. But it doesn’t seem to matter. She’s the love of my life.”Highlighted by 57 Kindle readers

About the author
Such an amazing book. Nobody does second-chance romance like Siobhan, she is the Queen!
The amazing and talented Siobhan did it again! I have no words, this book was just out of this world. I adore this story and characters, they are so close to my heart and I love them so much. I know that no amount of word would do justice to this masterpiece, so I am going to keep it simple. This book was an emotional journey, that had me completely bewitched. Once I got my hands on this book, I could not put it down. I’ve spend all the night reading, constantly wanting to find out more. With every page I craved more of this story and characters. This book is about the joys and the heartbreak of first love, it is about love and lose. About finding your voice and fighting for yourself, your dreams and for those who you love. It is about losing your voice and direction, and also about finding it. This book is an amazing lesson about the impact of the others on our lives and vice-versa. About the consequences of our actions. It is so easily to get blinded by the power, success and money, but all of these thing can so easily disappear. My heart broke so many times while reading, I cried and laughed with the characters, and then I cried some more while screaming at my tablet. I could feel the hurt and the pain of the characters, and all I wanted was to take some of that, so they can be happy again. I cried so much that I was a complete mess the next day at work. That much I loved this story and characters, and they had such a great impact on me. You can lose yourself so easily in this book, because it has a bit of everything. It is the perfect combination between angst, fluff, romance, heartbreak and steamy moments. I know I’ve said it in the past, but I am going to say it again: nobody does second-chance romance like Siobhan, she is the Queen! This couple are EVERYTHING and this book has it all - angst, emotion, drama, suspense, sweet romance and steaming hot sexy scenes. This book is about the joys and the heartbreak of love, it is about family, secrets, loyalty and lose. Betrayal and second chance at love and happiness. It is about losing your voice and direction, and also about finding it. This book is an amazing lesson about the impact of the others on our lives and vice-versa. About the consequences of our actions. Love is all that matters, and if you find “the one” then I surely hope you fight tooth and nail for that person. Fight for your person, do not let him or her go. No matter what. I’ve said it, and I’m gonna say it again: I was not prepared for this book to affect me this way and this much. I was not prepared to love this book so much and to care so deeply for this characters. I loved every single page of this book. If felt so realistic and the chemistry between the characters was literally sizzling. This book was emotional, raw and angsty, but also steamy and with lighter moments intertwined with humor, drama and plenty of romance. It is definitely a must read!

Mylène (Les lectures de Mylène)Reviewed in France on November 1, 2021
des personnages intenses avec une immense rage de vivre
pfffffffiou, je ne savais pas trop à quoi m'attendre avec ce roman et le moins que l'on puisse dire est que l'autrice nous fait vivre des montagnes russes d'émotions. Ryder, notre héros, rencontre en détention juvénile Zeta, une jeune fille qui l'attire au premier regard. Il sent leur connexion mais il va ensuite commettre plusieurs erreurs pour la protéger. Le récit est donc en deux temps, la première partie concerne donc leur adolescence et les quelques mois qu'ils vont passer ensemble où on va pouvoir voir grandir leur amour et la seconde est 8 ans après, ils ont tous les deux vécus énormément de choses et le pardon va être compliqué. J'ai adoré les voir évoluer ensemble, impossible de le poser sans avoir les réponses à mes questions et le final est pour le moins intense et parfois choquant. On les quitte tout de même avec un immense sourire aux lèvres, heureux qu'ils aient trouvé le bonheur après les tempêtes. Une magnifique lecture !!Mylène (Les lectures de Mylène)des personnages intenses avec une immense rage de vivre
