Does the past ever really stay in the past?
Nikan
can never be complete. He's got a rock group made up of the family he built for
himself, more money than he knows what to do with, and a stream of groupies
falling over themselves to date him. But none of them are her. The one regret

Nikki's Review:
I thought when this book hit my kindle that
I'd gobble it up. I mean, I was dying for Nik's story. But the exact opposite
happened...I couldn't bring myself to read it right away. It wasn't because I
was worried that I wouldn't like the book. I knew I'd love it. But I had to
mentally prepare myself to go on this journey with Nik and Jenny. Also, after
this book, there's only one story left. I wanted to saviour it and make it
last. I'm nowhere near ready to say goodbye to these characters. Crazy? Maybe. But
this series has pulled me in like nothing before it.
Nik is every bit the rock star. He's
gorgeous, talented, rich, and insanely popular with his fans. But he's
struggling. He's thankful for everything he has and everything he's achieved,
but there are things that are still missing. When Jenny comes back into his
life after almost a decade, he knows that he has to make things right with
her.
One of the hardest things Jenny has ever done
is walk away from Nik all those ago. He destroyed her heart and her trust.
Seeing him now shreds her in so many ways. But one thing is for sure, she's
missed him and still wants him.
I'm going to be honest, if this book had been
written by anyone else other than Scarlett Cole, I wouldn't have read it.
There's a part of the story that is a pretty hard limit for me. But I needed to
read Nik's book. I needed to come along on his journey. I knew if any author
could take this sensitive situation and fix it, it was Ms. Cole. She did it.
She made me love Nik, and while I can't condone some of his behaviour, I could
understand how it all broke down for him.
Since Nik's days in the group home, he's been
the fixer of any problems between him and his band mates, his brothers by
choice. And while he wouldn't change the fact that he always put them first, he
needed to live for himself now. He needed to discover who he really is. It was
such a privilege to witness Nik's growth and self-discovery. I'm blown away by
his ability to find the peace and redemption that had eluded him for so long.
This entire series is full of those
"ugly cry" moments. There's some really tough situations that are
hard to read. Sometimes I have had to put the books down to collect myself.
Man, the storytelling in this book, and the others before it, has pulled so many
emotions from me. The chemistry between the hero and heroine is sultry and
sweet, I have laughed at the antics of the band, and I have felt lost and
adrift because of their pain. How does Scarlett do it? How does she make me
fall apart, and then put my heart back together again? That type of talent
isn't learned. It's something that has always been there begging to be shared.
I thoroughly loved Jenny's character. She was
so strong. She built her life on her own terms and carved out something for
herself. Her capacity for compassion with the kids she works with is endless
and awe inspiring.
I can't really explain what it is about this
book, or series that pulls at me. At least not in a way that would do it
justice. I just think you should do yourself a favour and read it. While you
could technically read each book as a stand alone, I really think you need to
start at the beginning with, Jordan Reclaimed. To fully understand the bond
between these men you need to go with each of them on their journey. Lennon's
book is next. I am not ready yet. I want to read it more than anything, but I
know his story is going to shred me in ways that'll make it hard to breathe.
But I'll do it, because Lennon deserves to have his story told and to find his
HEA.
About Scarlett Cole
The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life
Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster
Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up
my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring,
less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices.
I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large
retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan,
before ending up in Canada were I met my
own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the
astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing
kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell
on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be a writer for
a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll
find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm
getting the chance to follow that dream.
