Goodreads Description:
Evie Jamieson, a former
wild child, is not only a headstrong, smart-mouthed trouble magnet, she
is also a lead singer with a plan. That plan involves relocating her
band, including her two best friends guitarist Henry and band manager
Mac, to Sydney to kick off their dreams of hitting the big time. Jared Valentine is the older brother of Evie's best friend Mac and also the man determined to make Evie his. They strike up a long distance friendship which suits Evie because she's determined to avoid the distraction of love, not only because it doesn't fit in with her plan but because twice in the past it has left her for dead. Moving to Sydney however, has put her directly in Jared's path and he has decided it's the perfect opportunity to make his play.
Unfortunately Jared, co-owner in a business that 'consults' in dangerous hostage and kidnapping situations, makes an enemy who's determined to enact revenge. When this enemy puts Evie in his sights, Jared not only has a fight on his hands to make her his own, but also to keep her alive.
Is accepting the love he's so desperate to give worth the risk to both her heart...and her life?

Book Quote:
“I see you two together. I see you look at him and him look at you, and
it's like...that's how it's supposed to be. You both share a joy of
simply being in the same room as the other. Two people who can be loved
just for being who they are is a special thing, honey, and I see that
potential in the two of you.”
My Review
This was the first book
by Kate McCarthy that I’d read. I LOVED this book. It is now one of my
favorites. I love when a book includes danger and romance.
The main characters,
Jared and Evie, were each strong people and people that I could connect with.
At first I wished the story would speed up and get around to their
relationship. Instead we were treated to a slow build of their relationship via
many text messages. Looking back at it, I really do like this approach. It was
like we were actually there with them. I also liked that they were able to show
their anger and that they walked away angry at times. It made it seem more
real.
The supporting
characters were lovable as well. I’m glad to see that they are getting their
spotlight in future books in this series. I only hope there are more books to
spotlight the other characters – Mac, Henry, Jake to mention a few. I loved the
close relationship between Evie and Henry and Mac. The other three members of
the band also had Evie’s back.
