I thought the chemistry between Max and Cade was excellent and I was really happy to see Cade move on from Bliss. Still, the story is fiction so I try to suspend belief. And, Max is trying to build a career in a rock band and her parents know and support that goal-why wouldn’t they accept a few tattoos? I just can’t believe Max has managed to hide her tattoos and piercings for so long. Too perfect, too sweet, and way to ignorant of their daughter. And her parents were too unrealistic in my opinion. We have a rock n roll heroine with tattoos and piercings, supposedly comfortable in her own skin, but she can’t show her tattoos to her mom and dad. This was a cute, enjoyable read that was great to pass a little time, but not something I need to run out and tell everyone I know to read.įirst of all, the premise of this story is really farfetched. ![]()
