So, I’ve been waiting for this book for forever it seems! I loved Beauty from Pain so much and I sat on pins and needles until this book came out! And it didn’t disappoint.
“Every song I write from here on out will be about Jack Henry. That’s how our tale will go on and on forever- through my music. He will always be every song I sing.”
After a few months delay, while Jack Henry’s detective is searching, Laurelyn is busy making a name for herself. Now, at the end of Beauty from Pain, I put on my detective hat and figured out all the ways he could find Laurelyn…and I’m convinced I could have found her in half the time! But Jack Henry didn’t hire me. Whatever. So…three months later, Jack Henry watches her perform and sneaks backstage to see her. It wasn’t the reunion he was hoping for, but I loved how they came together! I can picture her standing in the rain yelling his name…that’s what “book magic” is made of!! *shivers*
“I knew you were the next one the second I laid my eyes on you singing in that club, but you can never imagine my surprise when I realized that you weren’t just the next one- you were the last one.”
Now that they’ve found each other, you might be wondering about the rest of the book. Well it isn’t all rainbows and kittens, though I was glad there weren’t any major hurdles. Laurelyn has to come to terms with leaving her newfound career for Jack Henry. Her mother and father aren’t supportive of her leaving, but her trusty best friend is there lending good advice. After spending one sex-filled month together, Jack Henry has to head back to Australia. The time apart is hard for them, obviously, but there’s a happy ending. I won’t give away too many details, but it’s all “book magic!”
And the very end…maybe one of my most favorite endings ever. LOVE.
Unlike most series these days, book 2 is the last book. I’m glad Cates didn’t try to stretch it out into three! But, she did say that this isn’t the end for Jack Henry and Laurelyn! I’m pretty sure we’ll see them again!
