This one was very emotional and deals with abuse so if you have a trigger, it might not be for you. I really enjoy the deepness that L.L. goes with her books.
We met Tanner in the previous books, we saw him make his way through women in those books. He quickly became the man whore of the group, all american good looking, has everything. Or at least we thought. We learn all about his background in this book. Man, I feel for the ma, he has been through a lot.
This one took a different turn though, in the previous books, you are kinda lead to believe he and Natalie, the bands manager, are going to be together. Yet when I read the synopsis it mentioned a MacKenzie. I immediately thought what happened to Natalie?
MacKenzie is on a wrong path, in a wrong relationship, and everyone is pulling wool over their eyes so no one has to talk about her macho, bad cop of a boyfriend. She meets Tanner during one of those bad nights and a friendship is struck up.
I loved that they were friends. They leaned on one another for months before they allowed the underlining feelings surface. I believe a friendship makes a relationship stronger and these boys are finding their best friends along with love.
I will impatiently wait for Natalie's book, which I think is going to be very interesting.
Tanner Hart, the All-American bad boy bass guitarist of Jaded Regret, has one motto— play women’s bodies like he does the strings of his guitar— hard, in tune, and giving it his all until the show is over. The only strings he wants attached to him are the ones he plays on the stage.
He has quite the reputation, even with his own band, and he likes it that way. It keeps the truth of who he really is locked deep inside. But there's so much more to him than anyone really knows…
Now that he’s successful, he can afford to find out what really happened to the only girl who’s ever held his heart. The only thing is…will he really want to know the truth?
When Mackenzie Shepard finds herself in a situation she’s been in too many times before, she expects to do what she’s always done— cover it up, accept the apologies, and move on. She knows trying to get out is futile. What she doesn’t expect is for the world famous Tanner Hart to burst into her life like a knight in sexy armor.
When their lives collide and hearts get involved, can Tanner keep his hartstrings from being tangled up in his past, or can he make a new kind of music... with his heart?
