This was a really beautiful love story. Reading the redemption and healing of Janae was touching. She went through so much, and she definitely deserved her second chance in the spotlight. Landon was such a complicated man. He was exactly what Janae needed in this journey she was on. He truly became her life jacket and moral compass. I couldn't get enough of these two. Learning that each of them went through childhood trauma was heartbreaking. I was so glad that Janae's therapist was advocating for her not to give up on Landon. Check your triggers because some aspects of this book were hard to read, but it led to both characters' healing and finding lasting love.

What to expect:
- rockstar romance
- Black MCs
- broken MCs with hidden struggles/past trauma
- forced proximity
- slow burn friends to lover
- dual pov

From the Author's Note, you know this will be an angst-driven romance focused not only on love but healing from past trauma, second chances, mental health and, most importantly, forgiveness. Their love story is told in a realistic and raw way. They understand, support, and uplift each other, letting themselves finally be vulnerable with someone else. It's beautiful.

If I could give this book more stars I definitely would. This book was phenomenal. I could not put it down. Dealing with mental health, love, healing and second chances.


I love the chemistry between Janae and Landon. Dealing with past traumas of their own. It never stopped the feelings they had for each other. Most definitely a must read.

Thank you Honey Blossom Press for letting me an ARC of this book.

This story focuses on Janae and how she had a fall from grace. Janae was a childhood star that suffered from childhood trauma. And that childhood trauma caused her to spiral out of control. Then she meets Landon and she begins wanting to have a romantic relationship with him.
Landon tells Janae that he doesn't want that. He tells her that he will prefer to just be friends. But Janae doesn't just want a friendship with him. I love this story because it focuses on childhood trauma. And how that trauma if not treated can manifest into your adult life. I'm very thankful for the publisher and author for. Giving me the opportunity to review this book.

An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!

I absolutely love how the author starts the book off with a letter to readers “Dear Reader”! It explains the journey the story will take us on. Explaining this is a story of strength, redemption, discovery beauty and the process of healing. She further explains the characters are unapologetically themselves and how they navigate the realities of pain, triumph, and love. The author wants the reader to take their time and prioritize taking care of themselves while ready a heavy story. BRILLIANT! Thank you!

The story follows two main characters, Janae and Landon, who both are talented musicians and experience internal “hidden” struggles.

This is a phenomenal story about love,loss, addiction, and second chances which advocates for mental health awareness and the importance of removing societal stigmas. Seeing how each character experiences their challenges, learns to be vulnerable, accepts their struggle and learns to heal was encouraging and a testament to the importance of connection.

Mental health diagnoses are no different than other health conditions which deserve attention and treatment.

Throughout this story I laughed and I cried. There were definitely times I needed to put the book down and take a mental break. I personally related to Janae in so many ways and this story touched my soul in a profound way.

“Don’t let the world tell you what you can’t do. Even roses root in the hardest of truths.”

Absolutely a Beautiful, Brilliant and Amazing story!
