Fresh off tour Blake Potter, the sexy bassist for
Battlescars, is in Smithville, Ohio to work on their next album ‘Coming Clean’.
Still pining after Aubrey’s best friend, Piper, it’s going to be harder than he
expected to see her back with her long-term boyfriend, Cole. He’s trying his
hardest to forget her, but no matter how hard he tries to stay away
circumstances keep bringing them together. Being burned before, he refuses to
let it happen again. He’s still struggling to let go of Rowan, the girl that
made him the way he is.
Piper is fighting an uphill battle of her own. She’s working
her ass off trying to make a name for herself as a tattoo artist. Her long-term
boyfriend, Cole, was recently discharged from the Marines turning her world in
a way that she never expected. When he begins leaving for days at a time Piper
starts struggling to help him pick up the pieces. She calls the one person that
might be able to help, Blake. He becomes the friend that she needs no matter
how much it’s killing him.
What will happen when one phone call changes everything for
both of them leading them in a path that neither anticipated? Pasts will come
out of the shadows and threaten to ruin everything.
My Review:
There comes a time in everyone’s
reading history that they find a character that they can’t seem to like. That is the case with this book, while the
overall story was very well written I just couldn’t seem to like Piper’s
character at all. Throughout the course
of the book it seemed as though she’s constantly playing games with the man in
her life.
With all of that aside her
character was written to the point where you could someone understand where she
is coming from and but on the other hand she was also portrayed as weak. With her bouncing back and forth between Cole
and Blake it almost came off as she was afraid to be alone. Cole’s character was well written to the
point that when you’re reading the scenes that contain him you can tell he had
issues that he hadn’t dealt with yet.
It was great to be able to learn
more about Blake’s past, in find out what happened to him before the band got
big. Although Blake’s is a rock star,
you can also tell that he’s very family oriented and would do anything for his
friends. That showed even when Piper was
going back and forth he was still there for her when she needed him.
I did enjoy the fact that Sophie
had included bits and pieces of Aubrey and Jake’s life, even though the book
was it about them. She was able to
incorporate events that were going on in their lives with what was going on
with Blake and piper.
I can’t wait to read future books
in a series and find out what else Sophie has in store for us.
This book is currently $2.99 US Dollars on Amazon.
