Can one summer change your life?
Maggie Simpson has one summer left before college starts. And the last place she wants to spend it is in Green Falls, TX with her mother's family. She was annoyed when her mother announced the change of plans at the last moment, but as she reconnects with her cousin Sarah, she realizes a summer away might be exactly what she needs.
Maggie decides to find a summer job to keep herself occupied, and to help pay for college. She is ecstatic when Scottie gives her a job at a local watering hole, The Hill Country Saloon, to find a band to headline the annual Battle of the Bands competition.
One night, Maggie meets sexy and mysterious Haden, and he agrees to help her find a band for the competition. As Maggie and Haden work side by side, secrets are unleashed that make Maggie question everything she thought she knew about Haden, and the reason for her summer in Green Falls.
Secrets, so powerful, that her life may never be the same. (Goodreads)
MY THOUGHTS
This is a story of love, trust and betrayal.
If you are looking for a happy ever after, expect but don't expect. Make sure you are mentally stable before you read this book!
I received a copy of this book thru mail (tech is awesome!) . I am really grateful that Miss Kelly Harper- yes , the amazing author of this book , asked me to make an honest review. I was literally rolling on the floor when I received the message . This is one hell of an opportunity and I am never gonna let it slip away!
Honestly, I was having second thoughts about this book. Why? I have reasons. Number one ; it is a New Adult novel - I was trying to chill out and take a break on NA . Two, the plot is the same like any other na novel- the heroine/hero is damaged goods or hiding skeletons in the closet. Three , I was afraid that someone needs rescuing again.
Then, I began reading. I was intrigued. And I was soooo wrong.
The first part of the read was kinda slow to me. I felt like someone was dragging me to get through the end. The storyline kinda not worked for me. I was looking for something, like the magic, the chemistry, the harmony of the scenes. The writing was incredible but the story itself didn't work that good for me.
Seeing the world through Maggie's eyes was a compelling and thrilling ride, though. I got to experience her heartache, pain, happiness, love and confusion. Though, her reaction toward the situation, to me, was a little bit over the top. I mean, I thought she had a really sordid, life-threatening past that it had affected her trust issues too much. And there were scenes/situations that were too drawn out for me. I had to skip some pages so I could go on through my read. It took me a week to finish this book. To say that I was kinda bored and sleepy upon reading this book is an exaggeration though. Even if I dragged myself through it, I liked the story.
And then the super hot sexy smoldering Haden came along...
He changed everything that I felt about this book (who would not!). He's too damn perfect. He's one of the fictional characters that ruined all other existing male specie in the entire universe!

The end was really unexpected! Seriously, it was a massive explosion to me! You better read this one!
four amazing guitars for you, Kelly!
I am definitely recommending this book to everyone!
