    About this audiobook

    Twenty-year-old Allison Slater has been in love with her brother's bandmate, Rhys McGowan, since she was fifteen. But to him, she'll always be Jake's little sister and off limits. Now a college sophomore, she sets her sights on making Rhys see her as someone he could date. But the night she has been dreaming of turns to heartbreak, and she realizes that she'll never be the one for Rhys.


    For Rhys McGowan, his nightmare began when he woke up, naked and hung-over, next to his bandmate's little sister. He only makes matters worse by lying to Allison about not being interested in her. His resolve is tested when Allison comes on tour with Runaway Train, and the more time he spends with her in the close quarters of the bus, the harder it is for him to resist.


    Contains mature themes.

      I am ashamed to admit, I have all of the books in this series, but this is the only one I have read. I know, shame on me! Have no fear though, I had no troubles loving the characters in this story anyhow!
      I adored this book. I didn’t want to put it down. The first parts of the book had me chuckling and fist-pumping, for real!
      Allison has always loved Rhys. She has dreamt of him and wished for him since she was thirteen years old. Now she is grown up, in college, and willing to risk everything to make him open his eyes to finally see her as a woman.
      Rhys is home for a few months and isn’t looking forward to it. He doesn’t care to spend time with his family, well his parents anyway. He decides to look up Allison. He finds that she is not the little girl he remembers. He spends every day with her all the while ignoring and denying what he feels for her. Then, one drunken night changes everything. Their friendship has become complicated.
      Now these two find themselves on tour together. Rhys continues to deny his true feelings, wanting to keep Allison in the friendzone. Allison can’t just be friends with him. Between her feelings for him and the one night she thought would seal their fate, she can’t continue hurting. Being around him is more than hurting her; it is crushing her.
      This is the part that I wasn’t too fond of. Once Rhys is willing to admit his true feelings for Allison to himself and her, everything happens so fast. They can’t keep their hands off each other. Her brother finds them in a compromising position, relationships are broken and mended. The whole drama of being found out went a little too smoothly and fast for me. I wanted a little more with this.
      I can’t wait to dig into the other books in this series. I totally love Katie Ashley! I am never disappointed with her books!
