He’s an addict. He’s a rude bastard. He’s also broken hearted.
Trash artist Seth Carmen has lost everyone he’s loved and even some he didn’t. He’s better off alone. He’s made a success of himself by focusing on the one thing he’s good at, turning trash into something stunning. But then feisty blogger PJ Hensley enters his world with her fairy like quality, and he can’t imagine his world without her in it.
PJ Hensley is dealing with her own tormented past and a stalker she doesn’t want to admit to having, but she’s pulled herself together in order to graduate and focus on her future. The last thing she needs is a moody trash artist entering her world. But like all things Seth, he enters anyway with an intensity and focus that leaves her breathless.
Can PJ set aside her own tormented past to lose herself in the intensity of Seth? Can he convince her that he can weld their lives together into something beautiful?
From award winning author, LJ Evans, comes a novel inspired by Bon Jovi songs that shows how love and acceptance can heal even the toughest scars.

"Heart wrenching & beautiful storytelling!!!" “(Ms. Evans) beautiful way with words just floats off the page and straight to your heart pulling you in…” “It was beautifully written… their story was heartbreaking, beautiful and so touching.” “There was such magic in (LJ Evans) words that you can't resist highlighting every sentence because it spoke dearly to your heart…”
Review:
This was definitely a different format. We meet Seth by letters written to PJ. We get PJ after she received these letters and her reactions to them. This was an emotional story that will suck you in. You will be curious to why it didn't work, PJ's past, and how strong she is to to walk away. You will also see how passionate Seth is about their relationship. They have to overcome so much to make it work. I love stories that have a lot of meat to it and the characters actually strive to do better.
“Seth…” She looked away from him, trying to find the words. He took her chin in his hand and pulled her face so that she was forced to look at him.
“What?”
“I… this was a mistake.”
She just said it. There was no other way of putting it. But she regretted it as soon as the tension returned to his body. She regretted it because her heart and body were warring with her brain and her conscious.
“No, it wasn’t,” he said as if the force of his words could make her feel that way too.
He pulled her off the chair and wrapped her in his arms. Her face was pressed against his chest, and his words, when he spoke them, vibrated against her cheek and down into her body as if he was trying to embed them there.
“The only mistake we could make right now is if you walked out my door and never came back. That would be the only mistake. Making love. Giving in to whatever this is between us, none of that was a mistake.”
She pulled away still uncertain of herself more than of him. He let her pull away but watched her closely. Waiting for her to react. As she returned his stare, she knew that even if she walked out the door that minute and never came back, there would still be a mark on her soul that he’d already left.
