The beginning honestly was not that bad but this was way too long. 150 pages could have been cut easily and I think it would've been a better book. I really struggled to finish it tbh.

I had a complicated journey with this book. I picked this up because I've been in a big RH binge and, even more so, rockstar romances tend to almost always work for me.

The beginning was anticipated and I immediately appreciated how headstrong Braxton was; the clash between her and the guys brought a lot of tension and created interesting banter. I mean, the dudes were awful to her at first but we all know this was going to change eventually. Although there seemed to be an 'insta-lust' component, it didn't really bother me. The more mature scenes were done well; a lot of steam and multiple explicit scenes. I liked the synesthetic part - it was an interesting take on the condition and the descriptions were done well. The significance of the title was pretty sweet as well as well as the epilogue! An epilogue after some time, beautiful.

The issues for me were more dynamic and structure based. Even though there are three (3) guys, emphasis seemed to be primarily on one of them, with the other two feeling more like extra features instead of solid parts of the 'harem' dynamic. For example, the large conflict at the later part of the book revolved around that guy. On top of it, we got the backstory of one of the guys at the 90% point of the book, AFTER the resolution of the twist/main issue. It didn't feel as significant at that point, which is a sad thing to say because it was pretty serious. There was SO much miscommunication, lack of willingness to discuss anything, tantrums thrown by multiple characters. It became a tad bit 'too much'. 
I would've also liked to see more of the concert atmosphere, the audience vibes, the adrenaline rush since it is a rockstar-romance book. But that is a more personal preference. 

In general, the writing was good and I know there are people who loved this, which is absolutely fine! I just had some issues with it. :)

Wow this was a pretty heavy book. Each one of the characters had something happen in their past which makes them somewhat "broken" in a way. Which I think makes them connect on a deeper level.

I really enjoyed seeing the ups and down of all their relationships and seeing the three guys start connecting again. I think Braxton is just what Houston, Loren, and Jericho (Rich) needed to make them come together again as friends.

Braxton is a very strong independent and badass woman who took none of the crap the guys through at her. She gave as good as she got. And I guess that could stem from the past abuse she got from her parents and their church. 

I'm glad Braxton was able to get out of that life once she had come of age where she didn't have to listen to her parents anymore.

The ending of this story couldn't have been more perfect. This was a very beautiful and sexy read. I highly enjoyed it.
