Recommendation
I am a sucker for a sexy, misunderstood musician so as soon as I read the blurb for this book, I knew it was a must read for me. Felicity is headed to Nashville to start fresh and find herself. She’s young, a songwriter who wants to hide behind her written words and trying hard to move on from a troubled past. In walks Ryder, the disturbed, intense musician looking for his big break. The story follows their journey as they learn about themselves, each other and how much they are willing to change and adapt for love. This book has a fast paced story line, a romance that will keep you wanting more and angst that is through the roof. I seriously could not get enough of their chemistry. SO GOOD! I cannot wait for the second part of this Duet.
Excerpts
I want to make things with her – music she won't sing, promises I can't keep, love that won't last.
There's sin in his grin.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you: this story isn’t about getting what I wanted. Because I never wanted Ryder Woods. I needed him.
Publisher synopsis
I was never supposed to be famous.
I was a lyricist, not a singer.
Certainly not a star.
Too bad none of that seemed to matter to a rock-god like Ryder Woods.
He didn’t just want my words — he wanted everything.
And he took it.
My songs. My voice. My goddamned soul.
Between those haunting bedroom eyes and that heart-stopping grin, I never stood a chance. I was pulled into his orbit like a rogue meteor passing a sun.
The problem is, if you get too close to a star…
You’re bound to get burned.
