Flame Rating:four-flames
Rating:4.5 Stars

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ashley Jade comes an edgy, enemies-to-lovers standalone romance about mistakes, forgiveness, and second chances.
He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted.I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated.
He was the sun...drawing all of us in.I was a black hole...taking up space.
He was destined to be a star.I was destined to remain an insignificant no one.
Until he made me believe I was special...
And then he destroyed me.
I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans.
One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows.
Countless opportunities to make him pay.
The world thought he was a God...But I knew the truth.

This book was one of the angstier ones that I’ve read in awhile. It involves two people, who you wouldn’t really think would match; Lennon, because she’s kind of a good girl to Phoenix’s bad boy.

But, thrown together so that Lennon can tutor Phoenix, they quickly become friends and there is no doubt that these two actually have quite a bit in common. Phoenix, though, has some serious baggage that doesn’t allow him to get close to women. So, even though Phoenix and Lennon draw closer–Phoenix inevitably ruins things… Badly.

After this, the story takes place four years down the road. And even though these two “hate” each other, the chemistry is off the charts.

The angst was present in droves. However, it wasn’t so consuming that the book was depressing. It was clear from the moment Lennon and Phoenix see each other that there’s a lot more than hate between them.

The side characters in this were just–honestly, it’s rare for me to care as much about their stories–but, I really do. I can’t wait to see what Jade does with the other characters.

The ending was bittersweet and I definitely shed a tear or two. Because this book is also about how life isn’t always easy and sometimes you lose even when you win.

I’m so glad that I found this amazing author!
