Meg's Review:

This was a great read. I read it in one sitting and it really had me in love. Skye's story and its world draw you in. Jude and Alexia. First off the characters were great. They had a great story and were really well-developed. I also really enjoyed the secondary characters in this novel. I kinda loved them the best at some points. Now a few things. This book it HOT. Like, fan yourself hot. The author writes some scenes that wow. Jude Delecroix. Even his name is even sexy. It just rolls of the tongue. Alexia and Jude have a past. A tortured and very shadowed past. We are on the ride with them for a while as they discover the truth that the past really holds, and its a great journey. There were parts of this story that had me filled with such just irritation over certain decision, and others that had me swooning. I mean Rock Stars. Really, it can't get much better. Oh wait, a sexy love struggle and the deal is sealed. I really enjoyed the book. It was well written and well-developed. The main characters had a past but their reconciliation felt a little insta love to me. It was in a way that still worked, it didn't deter me front he story and I am glad because it was a great story. I am looking forward to book two.
