Purchase options and add-ons

James Morgan, lead guitarist for the rock band Eden, seems to have it all. That is, until Theo, Eden’s lead singer and James’s secret lover, violently betrays him, sending James into a deep depression and cutting their current tour and the band’s life short.Kieran Jackson, the lead vocalist for the less successful band Lost and Found, is at his wits’ end. At thirty-three, he never dreamed he’d still be opening for bands comprised of twentysomethings. When Eden pulls out of the last few shows of their summer tour, Kieran returns home burned out and heartbroken.Over a year later, James, Phil, and David of Eden decide to reform under a different name with Kieran as their new vocalist. James, never having forgotten his single interaction with Kieran, nor the only time he ever listened to him perform, knows Kieran’s the best choice.James is still closeted—and skittish after his last relationship—and one fumbling, drunken kiss threatens to undo everything he’s worked so hard to rebuild, as well as the cover he’s fought to maintain.Can James overcome his past, confront his demons, and reclaim his former fame? Or will he and the newly formed True North remain in Eden’s shadow forever? Can he finally find comfort in who he is, accept his past, and reopen his heart? Or will the memories of Theo’s betrayal and the subsequent fallout dash any hope of finding—and trusting—love again?Trigger warning: this book contains explicit rape, as well as one failed suicide attempt by a main character.

    Where do I even begin to describe how much I loved this book? I mean, do I start with the unbelievably relatable and well-developed characters? The span of settings and scenery’s that blend together seamlessly like a Bob Ross painting? 

    Now, this story isn’t all happy little trees. There are trigger warnings for a reason, and there are some gut punches that had me coming up for air…then immediately diving back in because I just could not get enough of how quickly I fell in love with James. And then I met Kieran and was an absolute goner as far as trying to put it down. So, go ahead and block off a good amount of time from your schedule before you pick this up. The way I could truly feel the shifts in emotions and atmoshpere was truly captivating from sentence one.

    James Morgan finds himself weathering not only the way he feels about others, but how he feels about himself simultaneously after a string of soul and spirit shaking events. Kieran Jackson is more than just a right place at the right time lover for him; Kieran is the glue that offers a pillar of unwavering dedication that helps him reconcile what he really wants and deserves in life against what he has been conditioned to think is normal. Each character and scene have meaning and not a single element was phoned in. It was obviously highly researched and done in a professional manner. 

    If you’re looking for a beautifully angsty story where love truly finds it’s way to shine, marked with unforgettable characters and even a fair share of chuckles sprinkled along the way, this is the one!

    These rock starts are unlike any you’ve met before. Or is this rock star life we’ve never been privy to?

    James and Kieran are sweet emotional rockstars. After James goes through a traumatic experience with their previous band, Eden’s lead singer, it’s hard for him to trust other people and think about being in a relationship. But it looks like being cussed out and told off if the perfect thing to help him overcome his trauma and live his life.

    Kieran who has problems of his own with being a lead singer has to overcome some of his own difficulties but he’s the perfect amount of caring and passionate to make him James soulmate. They both power through their problems and bring their band True North to the top.

    This story focuses on the relationship between Kieran and James so the rockstar aspect of the book kind of took a backseat but this is one of those books where the focus is in the trauma, love, and compassion not only between the MCs but the secondary characters as well, such as Phil, best friend extraordinare.

    I’d definitely recommend this book if your looking for trauma focused romances. So I recommend!!!!

    James Morgan, guitarist for the metal band Eden, has a secret: lead singer Theo is his lover on the down-low. Worse, Theo is emotionally and verbally abusive to him. When the night comes that Theo becomes physically abusive, James realizes they are done, as is Eden and their current tour. The unintended consequence is that their opening act Lost and Found featuring singer Kieran Jackson doesn't survive. Kieran ends up returning home afraid that he's lost his last chance at a singing career. When James and his former Eden bandmates (except Theo) decide to form a new group called True North, James remembers Kieran and suggests him as the lead singer. Does James dare to explore the feelings he finds himself having for Kieran? Can Kieran help James come out and become the man he really is? And when Theo reenters the picture, what will James do? Baisden has done a wonderful job with her first novel. Here's hoping she has a long and prolific career ahead of her.

    Being more of a non-fiction fan, I haven't given fiction a chance for a long time. In today's world of self publishing, let's face it, it's hard to find a gem among the garbage. But this book was definitely a gem. The author takes us into the world of James and Kieran without hesitation, and once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. Credence is a book with just about every emotion in it.. you'll find love, joy, fear, shame, believe me, it's all there, and you'll feel it with the characters. This book is about real life. Anyone with a beating heart.. with the exception of politicians.. has felt the emotions these characters feel. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a well written story that keeps your attention and pulls you into its world.

    It took a minute for me to really get into this story but once I did I was hooked. I was so happy that 2 hurt humans were able to show their vulnerabilities to each other and find love. There were times that I really disliked James. Drunk driving is a big No No. There were times I disliked Kieran. When he hesitated going back to Florida with James. But these were 2 flawed characters who ultimately had a lot of love to give, and found it in each other. Oh and BTW, everyone needs a friend like Phil.

    First of all...that cover! Drew me right in. Good premise and great characters. I just felt the romance between James and Kierian was rushed and underdeveloped. They said I love yous before any time together or real conversations or interactions. I'm also not sure if why Kierian's medical condition was written into the storyline as that plot device went no where. We also did not get any details of James' coming out...so perhaps a little too much drama thrown in that went nowhere but in the end, sweet romance amongst horrible trauma. I'd read more for this author.

    Interesting characters and engaging plot. Fair, accurate portrayal of post-trauma struggles in a new relationship... And where being yourself takes a lot of courage. Recommended.
