“You believe in God?” “Sometimes.” “When?” “When I look at you.”

Diving back into the Reckless Rockstar series by Samantha Christy was more painful than I thought it would be this time around. When we are first introduced into this world in book one, Crew takes us on a tearful journey through his past. He learns how to love again when Bria comes into his life. That book was a tough one, so I wasn’t sure what to expect going into book two. We all knew that Liam was suffering, but having his story told…man, there’s nothing like this pain.

How do you describe the feeling of reading something that makes you feel so sick and helpless at the same time? To say that Liam suffered in his life doesn’t even begin to cut it. This man is a survivor. He’s brave, strong, and smart. To go through the things he did and then come out on the other side still fighting for your life, absolutely incredible. If you have triggers associated with child abuse – do not read this book. Liam is a notorious playboy when we first meet him. He sleeps around, but never with the same woman twice. He basically pumps and dumps (super disgusting, I know). Ella is the opposite. Ella just got out of a serious relationship, she’s a children’s book illustrator, and she loves to run. She goes with her two best friends to a concert to watch Reckless Alibi play. She’s never heard of the band but her friends are crazy about them. After the show, they are waiting to get autographs and Ella falls headfirst onto the ground at Liam’s feet. He immediately picks her up and whisks her into his limo, taking her to the emergency room. He finds out that they have the same last name and throughout the entire rest of the novel he refers to them as being married, husband and wife. Their chemistry skyrockets. In the hospital, Liam suddenly hears music in his head. He is the composer for the band, but hasn’t been able to write any songs…until now. Ella is his muse. He asks her to come away to Florida with him and the band for a six week tour. Ella is fighting her own demons, specifically her ex boyfriend who cheated on her, so she says yes. Guys…this couple is an absolute dream come true. Ella is patient and kind and holds Liam’s hand as they walk through his trauma together. It’s the sweetest thing. 

I can’t imagine what the next book in this series will be like. I don’t know if I’m ready to experience more heartache!! I have to admit, I think the Reckless Rockstar series is my favorite series that Samantha Christy has written. I never knew I could be this into rockstars LOL. This is definitely a “tissues-required” book, but Liam gets his well-deserved happily ever after and it really is all okay in the end. I’m so in love with this world that Samantha has created. I’m also so thankful that she’s not writing epilogues at the ends of these books because there is more to come (YAS!). I cannot WAIT!! Brilliant, heartbreaking, and beautiful. 5 stars!

“I’ll always find you.”
