Natalia Lowen is an actress who has spent her career maintaining the status of America’s Sweetheart. Nick Ryder was 1/3 of the Ryder Brothers, a band he was in with his older brothers, but now he is on is own and making a career for himself, living the Rockstar life.
Their worlds collide at a club and the connection between the two was truly lust at first sight. However, Natalia didn’t want to have the bad girl image, she couldn’t be seen as a bad girl, and getting caught with a man 13 years younger than her would give her just that image.
I absolutely loved Nick! He is right up there with Hudson, Donovan and Weston for me when it comes to the men written by Laurelin. He may be young, but he is such an old soul. He is a romantic and boy did he make me swoon. I also loved Natalia. You could really feel her struggles when it came to wanting to maintain her “good girl” image, but wanting to give in to her true feelings and her wants.
The secondary characters in this story were also fantastic. Hadley was amazing, not just a “life designer” but also an amazing friend to Natalia. Rowen was just hilarious (seriously, that girl should have her own crazy story!). I can’t wait to read the other books in this series about Jake and Jonas, plus also get more of Nick and Natalia along the way!
Definitely a must read of 2018 and another fantastic story from Laurelin!
