Music is his passion. It’s in his blood. Yet, Quinn James isn’t sure if stardom is right for him. His family wants him to join a band, and follow in his father’s footsteps but fear holds him back. He can’t explain it, and when he tries, no one understands what he’s afraid of or why he’s content playing coffee shop gigs where no one knows him.
Eleanora Boone wants to live her life, not the one her very southern parents planned for her, which is why she chose a college thousands of miles away. Now she’s faced with returning home or doing something that would defy her family. When an opportunity to visit Los Angeles falls in her lap, she uses it to become someone different.
California is everything Eleanora thought it would be, and even more so when she meets Quinn, the shy, reserved and brooding musician who’s the complete opposite of the guys she’s used to back home.
For the first time, Quinn’s smitten. The new, mysterious waitress has him wrapped around her finger, and he finds that he is finally able to open up and trust someone outside of his family circle.
But living a different life comes with its risks, and for Eleanora, that risk is a secret that has the power to destroy both of them.
"Gah! You want this book! Need to know this story! All I can say is Yes!! Yes you need Quinn James in your life! Yes Heidi McLaughlin is continuing all the things I loved about her Beaumont Series into this Next Generation!!" -Amber, The Geekery Book Review
Review::
When this series started, Harrison was my favorite out of the bandmates. Quiet, reserved, he is who he is, he wont change that. Quinn is his daddy. Although he has some demons he has to get over to become the man we see in this book, it was just as great as watching Harrison and Katelyn fall in love. I loved how Quinn grows out of his quiet shell, I love the relationship he has with Katelyn and that he actually is more comfortable with her for advice than his dad. I love that his sisters and him have never felt like they missed out on family because of how theirs was put together. This whole family will make you feel gooey inside.
Eleanora is a southern bell. She just wants to be herself, yet she doesn't know who that may be. She needs to find that out. When she decides to take a road trip and bunk with a college friend, she never thought she would find that person inside of her or find love. Her family drove me nuts, the expectations put on her were craziness but you can tell there is a lot of love within the family.
Quinn and Eleanora are cute together and they squeezed at my heart.
“You should do it, El. My brother lives there,” Sofia adds. Her brother, right. For the past two years, she’s told me about her brother. In fact, she tells anyone who will listen. He’s famous or is going to be, yet refuses to tell us his name, but talks about him an awful lot. He goes by Q, according to her. It’s some artist name or whatever. The thing is, when you’ve lived with someone for two years, you meet their family. Granted, this is the first time she’s met my parents, but my brother and sister have come to visit, and she’s had the dubious honor of meeting Roy. The only person in Sofia’s family that we’ve met is her mom, Alicia. Never the brother, which is a shame because anytime him and Sofia are together in pictures, he looks super-hot, and way out of my league.
