3.5-4 stars. Mia Devereux's music career is just taking off while Ethan Christopher is at the height of his pro-football quarterback career when they meet. Once their romance begins, it's very sweet and steady but also spotty and long-distance. They have great chemistry and are undeniably in love. I just kept waiting for the drama to unfold because for a long stretch there, they are doing well and things don't start to unravel until about the last third of the book.

Once their romance begins, it's very sweet and steady but also spotty and long-distance. They have great chemistry and are undeniably in love. I just kept waiting for the drama to unfold because for a long stretch there, they are doing well and things don't start to unravel until about the last third of the book. It's pretty obvious that Mia is holding back something about herself from not just Ethan, but her other friends, too. For whatever reason, I had trouble liking her, which is kind of strange because she is rather likable overall. Perhaps it was her secrecy and the fact that I knew whatever she was hiding couldn't be good and for someone like Ethan who wanted her to share everything about herself, she decided she had to act like Disney the whole time, or the happiest place on earth when she's with him. Despite the difficulty of being long distance, that is probably the one pro for her, being able to suppress whatever it is she couldn't share while always plastering on a happy face in Ethan's presence. That bothered me because Ethan was willing to do anything and everything for her, he's a very stable character with so much to offer that she shouldn't have felt like she couldn't tell him about her past, but she held back regardless even though the relationship moved forward. It becomes apparent that Mia's got some deep issues that prevent her from living to the fullest although Ethan's presence keeps her calm. But that's the whole problem, Ethan isn't around all the time so Mia is spiraling out of control. However, that doesn't make Ethan exempt from being an idiot either. He's also at fault in some parts of the story, which really bothered me because I expected so much more out of him, but I do think I can see it from his perspective as well. Mia and Ethan's mutual good friend, Luke, he baffled me. I know he's Mia's best friend and he's got responsibilities and priorities, but sometimes, I felt like he really didn't behave like a true best friend but more like an immature grown up even though he has good intentions. He's a little bit selfish actually. Honestly, I can't blame Mia for her abandonment issues, I would just like to see her own up to them and overcome them. Ethan and Mia's story doesn't end with this book and I can see a lot of directions in which their story will go so fingers crossed that they can still have a future together. ...more

Where do I begin..... This story is simply fantastic. Mia is a lead singer of her band The Last Star and Ethan a Pro quarterback of The Flash, who are both at a moment in their lives of hitting it big. This puts them in the position of having to deal with a long distance relationship. If you have ever been in one you already know that long distance relationships suck on the best of days. I was completely drawn into Mia and Ethan's lives from the moment they meet. You will feel every single momen ...more

I enjoyed the story of Ethan and Mia. Ethan has major patience and although they both made mistakes I think they can work through them. Looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds in the next book!

I found this author while on one of my many book blogs and followed her for a long time before reading this book and now I am thinking why did I wait so long.

This was a great story, even as it took my heart through highs and lows. Ethan and Mia are perfect together and I love how this story expands over a period of time and not just overnight. We see them fall in love, build a life together and decide they want a future, however, their choice in careers makes life hard.

The heartache was major, ...more

I Don't even know where to begin with this book. The story is beautifully written with well developed characters the make you fall in love with them. Ethan for his too good to be true perfection, and Mia for her flawed and insecure realness. They balance each other and make you believe in them as a couple.
It is written in 3rd person narrative which I feel sets it apart from the others.
This book will definitely be a reread for me! ...more
