For fans of Jamie McGuire and S.C. Stephens, a sizzling new adult novel featuring the tumultuous relationship between a young piano prodigy and a reluctant billionaire playboy—set against the vibrant backdrop of a New Orleans college campus.

After being bounced from foster family to foster family, Keeley, a talented pianist, is ready to start over as a junior at Tulane. But when she plays a small concert that attracts the attention of Jude, a brooding playboy and heir to an enormous fortune in the wake of his parents’ tragic death, suddenly Keeley’s life is thrown off balance once again.

Jude is the first person to confront her about the pain behind her music, and she struggles with whether or not to let him into her life, or to keep protecting herself from the hurt that relationships have caused her in the past. But Keeley’s about to learn that the melancholy young billionaire who appears to have everything he wants can open her eyes to exactly what she needs…


Emily and I will be reading this on April 10th 2014. Thank you to the author Carrie Lofty for the review copy!

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 8401 comments Oh you guys are starting today!? I want to join you but I have Don't Even Think About It by Sarah Mlynowski and Only Time Will Tell (The Clifton Chronicles, #1) by Jeffrey Archer to read first. After I read them I'll read this. :)

I'm still not really liking it. Not sure why, I just can't get into the story.


Emily - Reads Must I don't think I've read enough to get into it yet. Although I quite liked the first 3 chapters.

He did say some pretty awful things at points!


Emily - Reads Must he's not too bad at the moment... other than general arseyness! he reminds me a little of Christian Grey...


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
Oh no, Christian Grey is a realm all of his own. I'd rather read fifty shades any day!


Emily - Reads Must haha yeah? I don't know I'm kind of getting into it now. I really like Keeley, there's a strength and vulnerability to her that's really interesting.

It was quite graphic. I've read much worse, but I wasn't really all that comfortable with it in this book.

Her parents are really not nice people.

Not a freaking clue!


Emily - Reads Must I don't know if I wasn't comfortable with it, I just wasn't expecting it... it all seemed to escalate quite quickly!


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
It did. one minute they hardly knew each other, and the next they were naked.

I am hoping so. Sorry that I haven't read anything. I have been meaning too but mum has come down sick and my father and brother were out so Granny had to come over and then I had dance and then piano so it is all happening today and I haven't the chance to properly get into it. I am going to start now - for real this time!! :)
