Publisher Description
Avery Patterson’s literally not the girl she used to be.
A past that haunted her for years turned out to be based on a lie. Her father was not an evil man. He loved Avery enough to die for her, and now she’s determined to live for him. She owes him that much, and so much more. Ever since she was fourteen, Avery’s been running and hiding from every challenge she’s faced with, but this time she’s determined not to run. She’s going to fight for the broken boy who not only helped to unveil the truth about her family’s past, but also showed her there was hope for the future.
The only problem is that winter is over. Spring is almost through, and Avery’s New York Cop has turned in his badge and taken up his guitar. It’s been three months without contact. Three months without a single word.
Where on earth is Lucas Reid?
It’s amazing how quickly your life can change. One minute you’re patrolling the streets in one of the world’s craziest cities, arresting felons, and the next you’re singing something you came up with in the shower to fifteen thousand people. It’s easy to forget what life was like before. Easy to blur out the events of a childhood that feels like it happened to someone else.
But it didn’t happen to someone else. It happened to him. Luke knows that in order to move forward with Avery, he needs to come clean. But how best to do that, when his demons are so dirty?
It’s easy to write a song. It’s easy to make a crowd chant your name. But finding the right words to tell a horrible truth?
Nothing’s ever been harder.
Customer Reviews
Well written but a bit pointless
I really enjoyed the first book of this series and while I did enjoy this book as the author is talented enough to keep you reading, I feel that it was a bit of a pointless sequel. The first book had suspense and the aftermath of the murders and generally a depth to the story. This book felt like their relationship was damaged by the author simply to make another book and not because of any credible necessity. As I said the author is really talented and the book flows and you feel an attachment to the characters but I kept waiting for the story to develop beyond their self imposed stupidity and it didn't. And to make matters worse, when the inevitable happens and the issues are wrapped up, we don't get to find out what happens to them. It just ends. It is so frustrating as a reader to have a neatly tied up story that has gone nowhere at all when there was no reason for the ridiculous attempt at drama and heartache in the first place. Luke is also portrayed totally differently than he is in the first book to the extent that he may as well be a different person. Also, there is no way the Luke from the first book would have done what he did in this book. Considering how long it took for this to be published, it is disappointing.
Pretty pointless...
The built up anticipation of this book gave me high hopes it was going to be great. The beginning felt a bit all over the place but because I'd paid for it, I felt compelled to keep reading. It does however get slightly better halfway through and towards the end. The references to Winter make the characters more real (some of the previous descriptions don't sound anything like Luke!). Overall pretty disappointed- I read Winter 3 times and this felt like it was forced.
Disappointed
Waited so long for this book that when it was finally released, I then reread the first book. That was SO the wrong thing to do as it highlighted what a poor sequel this was. The Luke in this book bore no relation to the Luke to the Luke in the first book. It went backwards and forwards so many times you get dizzy trying to understand where all Luke's issues were coming. Surely he would have been suffering this bad in the first book. In all really disappointed waited so long and ended up thinking why did the author bother. Really not worth the time or money.
