Love this second chance romance read. It's so amazingly good. Love the story and characters. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Ty and Abigail have a love that’s all consuming. 10 years doesn’t dull the flame and passion they have for each other. A steamy, sexy, and cute read.

You don't have to have read the previous books in series.
Second chance romance. 10 years apart.
Setting is a band so naturally the Hero is a manwhore type.
This is said about him...
"since you were busy screwing two girls at the same time while eyeing the groupies."
" You screw anything that walks, refuse to take any of this seriously, and act like you’re still twenty-one!”
Basically they were young, misunderstandings and a lack of communication cause her to break up with him.
They both love each other but hate each other, he expresses this by the above behaviour durung the separation.
The heroine has dated during the separation.
No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine.
Humour with the banter between the band.
HEA.

Ty Cuban tells his story to the reader. He has attitude and you can feel that coming off the page. Abigail Von Leery lets the reader in on her impressions of Ty. By having the reader feel as if they are a part of the story is a great way to turn the story into a page-turner. It keeps us engaged in what's happening.
I'm late to the game. I thought I was keeping up with what the author has in the works and I was floored when I saw how many books in this series I missed out on. What's good about this story is that I didn't feel lost. I did however want to get to know more about the men that work with Ty. Would love to know if the author has any plans to revisit the camp we get to know here. I didn't feel as if things were brought to a close with that.
If you're looking for a story with a rock star and a second chance at what he lost than you need to check this out. There's a lot of emotion here and a rock star that shows us he's a human being who's not perfect and has done some things he's not proud of. If you've never read any of Ms. Van Dyken's books before than why not check out this novella. For some of us summer is winding down, the kids are going back to school and some time has opened up to read a short book - this can fill in some of that time. If you like some heat between the main characters you'll get that here too. Then I would read this book again but I would play some music in the background. I'm left knowing I have a lot of catching up to do - looking forward to it.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Abandon is a wonderful addition to the Seaside world that Rachel has created. Members of a rock band are growing up and now that they are older they are ready to put aside the drugs, drink and women and settle down to family life. Ty and Abagail had come close 10 years before but her family history hadn't allowed her to beleive that he could be faithful.
Now, together in Seaside, they are thrown together at a Music Camp with other band mates and friends. Can they get over the past to form a new future? This is the best kind of Rachel Van Dyken story - lots of angst with tons of love.
