RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
SPICE: 🔥🔥.5
Buckle up, rockstar romance-lovin' friends, because Gina Azzi is about to take us on a long and bumpy ride!
Allegra wants to know her brother better. Unfortunately, that requires taking a semester off from UCLA and taking a cross-country bus ride to see him in Boston. Her brother is not thrilled to see her, because he is trying to keep his distance from their parents and because Allegra might put a damper on the rockstar lifestyle he has going on. His bandmate Derek overrides Link and lets Allegra stay, but he has to suppress the chemistry and baggage they share.
Angst, angst, and so much more angst. Gina Azzi serves a healthy dose of heart-wrenching angst as Allegra and Reign tiptoe around each other and navigate through a tension-filled history.
Allegra steals the show for me in this first installment of the trilogy, because she is more relatable and reasonable than Derek and other people around her. (Which is ironic given most of them are older). Derek will need to step up in Books 2 and 3, because he was no fun in this read. I get broken characters; in fact, I have loved some of the most broken fictional people. Derek, however, makes it hard for anyone -- fictional or reading -- to love him. BUT I believe in Gina Azzi, and she has developed amazing character arcs for some of the most trying characters (I am looking at you, Damien from Playboy's Reward).
Like I said, this is the first of three books about Derek and Allegra, and so far, the ride has been somewhat turbulent. The tension between our two main characters are definitely sizzling, and I will ride that wave as we wait for Derek Reiner to figure his issues out.

ABOUT THE BOOK
One summer, one rebellious rockstar, and a love that won’t quit — even when it hurts.
Four years ago, Derek “Reign” Reiner gave me my first kiss and flipped my world upside down. Then, my brother’s bandmate catapulted to stardom, becoming a veritable rock god, while I moved across the country.
The last thing Derek expects is me on his band’s doorstep. Yet, here I am. Lost, uncertain about my future, and desperate to feel a connection — to my family, to my brother, to him.
I’m in Boston for one summer, hoping to find my path and discover if there’s something between Derek and me.
And, oh, there is.
Our attraction is intense and heady, fueled by a reckless need. Our chemistry is electric, brimming with a desperate passion neither of us can control.
And our relationship? Well, that’s complicated. Tumultuous.
Derek Reiner may be my brother’s best friend, an international heartthrob, and a musical genius. But he’s also mine.
Even if he breaks my heart.
