Blake Kennedy has demons. He is in a chat room on the internet when he meets the woman that will save him. Gabrielle Smith first started chatting with Blake in the chat room then that grew to text, email and Skype. However, they have only voice called, not video chatted, so Blake doesn't know what Gabi looks like. Reckless Beat is on the Australian leg of their tour and Blake takes advantage to go several days early to meet Gabi on her birthday. They meet and the connection in instant.
Blake is the tortured bad boy of the band that went through addiction and recovery without the rest of the band knowing. He is covered in tattoos and sex personified. But, beneath that bad boy exterior is a good man with a soft heart. Gabi knows all to well about addictions. Her brother OD'd and later died on her birthday. Her parents can't acknowledge her birthday and seem to have distanced themselves from their remaining child.
Again, this was another well written book from Eden Summers. It just keeps building on the story started in "Blind Attraction". Each book spotlights the main character, but with the other members of the band playing a large roll. I loved the character of Blake. He is a former man-whore that has found the woman that he needs to save him. Gabi is a strong woman that isn't afraid to joke right back with the members of the band.
This was a book that I didn't put down until I was done. I loved the banter between the band members. It is classified as "erotica" but keeps a perfect, fine balance between being erotic and not overwhelming the plot. And yes, there is a plot in this novel.
I give it five out of five stars.
