Suffering from a past full of tragedy, Dahlia London's soul has been left completely shattered. Happily ever after is a far cry from reality in her world. But, when she is reconnected with her past, the bonds that form are irrefutable.
When River Wilde, lead singer of The Wilde Ones, comes back into Dahlia’s life, the intensity that fires their relationship combined with underlying feelings that have never died lead her to believe she has met her soulmate.
Struggling with confusion as old connections fade and new ones begin, Dahlia's grief begins to lift--but guilt remains. River wants to be the one to mend all that is torn within her.
But with a past that is never really gone, can their future survive?

Review

Dahlia has so much tragedy is her life. When she was a teenager she lost both her parents. Ben and Dahlia have been friends since they were five years old. They dated throughout college and had plans to get married.

One Halloween night she goes to a bar and meets River. When they first see each other there’s an instant connection but Dahlia is dating Ben and knows that nothing can happen.

One tragic night Dahlias life is turned inside out and she’s broken once again. Then she goes to interview River for a photo shoot and when they meet again the connection is still there.

I don’t want to give to much away but sometimes the one you think your suppose to spend your life with isn’t the right one. The chemistry between River and Dahlia is off the charts. I was so into the story I couldn’t wait to read the next one. I have to say there was something about Ben that I couldn’t put my finger on. He seemed like the perfect boyfriend but I knew there was something I didn’t like about him I hope the mystery about him is told in the next book. If your looking for a hot rocker and a sweet girl that you just can’t help but love this book is for you. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series. – Reviewed by Catherine Coffman
