4.5 Stars
I was drawn to this one because Crystal is a single mom and the blurb had me intrigued. This book sounded like my kind of book and I was right. I gobbled this one right up. It's a good thing my kindle needed a charge last night or I might have been up all night reading. I love Dustin. For a young guy he has his head on straight especially in the music business. The way he has been there for Crystal and Olivia from the beginning warmed my hear. That man does so many swoon worthy things. The scenes with him and Olivia will melt your heart and will win you over in no time. This book also touches on some serious topics. I'm not gonna lie the flashbacks to Crystal's childhood were hard to read. What she had gone through no child should. It made me so happy she has created her own family with her friends. Family doesn't always have to be blood, but those who we surround ourselves that love us. This book shows the inner strength Crystal has though it takes her bit to see it for herself. This is a book you don't want to miss out on.
