EXCERPT:
Up close, he’s even more beautiful. He has an elegant face with a strong jaw and a cleft in his chin, high cheekbones, and wide-set eyes—all that, touched with a hint of softness. His skin’s the color of milk and honey and I wonder if he’s real. What if I’m dreaming? What if when I wake up, he’s gone?
My heart beats faster when he tosses a smile at me—wide, all-consuming, and with dimples—pretty much knocking me off my feet.
For a second there, I actually forget I’m a sweaty ice pop.
“Hey,” he says, ignoring the noise around us. His voice is a blend of rough and tender, and it washes over me like a warm, playful wave, flirty and tempting. Erasing all my surroundings.
“Hey.” I return the greeting, not sure if he can hear me when my tongue stiffens. He doesn’t need to, though. Because he looks at me as if he can read my mind, and I wonder if that’s why he’s smiling.
“Did you enjoy the show?” he asks without paying attention to Jess or Luke.
“Yes.” I nod. “Did you?” My eyes drink in every detail of him slowly and hungrily. He’s the kind of guy you’d see on Pinterest when you type “gothic fashion.” He wears rings and a chain necklace and his boots have metal studs. I can tell he’s put a lot of thought into his outfit.
“I did… I heard my buddy hooked you up with some tickets to see our show?” He gives Luke a pat on the back.
“Looks like it.” I breathe out, thrusting my hands into the tiny pockets of my jacket. The cloud of condensation coming from my mouth floats lazily in the air between us. “So…” I drawl, letting the words sit on my tongue for a moment. “You’re in a band.”
“Yep.” A head tilt. “And you like rock music.”
“Yes.”
MY REVIEW
After reading this author fabulous first book I was jonesing her second effort. She takes no shortcuts in her superb storytelling to rush out her books which I appreciate so much. I can say she really loves the rockstar bad boys and creates some spectacular specimens but that’s just a backdrop for the breathtakingly emotional storytelling that is sometimes uncomfortable but always beautifully written. I was so invested in these young people and the tragedy that occurs and changes them forever. The real issues of gun violence, its aftermath and the judicial system are in full force in this story as the survivors grappling with moving on. The brother left behind, the girlfriend so lost, friendships changed and worlds sifted forever. Some may see Alana as weak but unless you grew up in her situation you won’t realize how strong she is. The torture of loving both brothers is palpable and I was living her decisions right along with her. She so deserved a happy ending. I’m not going to talk about the brothers much…they both had their time and place in Alana’s life. The prologue says so much about Mykah and as his story unfolded toward the end I was a goner. I love a tortured artist. I’m wasn’t a big fan of the ‘Before’ and ‘After’ at the beginning of the story but about half way point it settled in with me. Ms. Britt has become one of my authors in a just two books. She has a marvelous talent for not only emotional, gut-wrenching storytelling and sexy romance but spectacular characters that tear at your heartstrings. I can’t wait for her next one!
