3.5 stars

I really wanted to like this but I struggled connecting with the characters. I'm not sure if this was a one off or what.

I appreciate the author and their hard work. Even though this wasn't my favorite, I'll look for more by them in the future. ( )

"The man kissing his way across my body was broken in the worst possible way. A time bomb waiting to exploed. An addict who had torn out my heart more than once. And yet here I was, in his arms again, letting him touch me - a willing victim to the fire he set alight inside me."

Why oh why is it that the more broken and messed up the man is, the more we just want to climb him like a tree? When this series first started, I was drooling over Gabe. Then, I fell head over heels for Seth. Now? Good Lord!! Dex is.... well, let's just say I'm on the hunt for a life size cardboard cut out to put next to my bed.

Dex, my poor Dex - fighting the demons of addiction, trying to hold on to the woman he loves yet messing everything up at every turn, keeping secrets, and trying to keep his best friend from going off the rails. Then we have Siobhan, the fiery, redheaded spit fire. Despite all the red flags telling her to run the other way, she can't help but draw closer to Dex. She grounds him. She calls him out on his missteps, and despite their separation, she always knew. It was him. He was the only one for her.

And you can't have a rockstar romance without some angst and drama, right? Secrets come out that could ruin friendships and relationships, a mysterious death could destroy Forgotten Legacy forever, and a devious plot against Dex could have him in deep trouble.

This series keeps getting better and better, and believe me the bar was set pretty high with the first in the sereis, Tattooed Memories. These boys break my heart into tiny pieces but then pick them up and put it all back together again, where each of them remains part of me.

Luca's book is next and from what we've read so far, I fear he just may break me in half. I can't wait! ( )
