They
say love is beautiful.
They lie.
Love is a dark, broken man with whiskey-colored eyes. Love is knowing he will never return my feelings. It is the final chord of a guitar riff as it bleeds into silence.
Love is Zeke Danton.
I convinced myself I needed him. I thought there was no one better to record my debut album with…
I was wrong.
Encased in layers of ice, he wears his pain like a protective shield.
Wanting what I can’t have might ruin me. But so help me, I crave his destruction.
As You Were is the second book in the Rising Stars series. This is Willow and Zeke's story. I didn't read the fist book, Lie to Me. However, this one stood up well as a stand alone. The other characters show up in this one, but I didn't feel like I missed out on anything. Willow and her band members have two weeks to record their debut album. Willow spends a lot of that time fighting against her attraction to Zeke, their producer.
I'll be honest, I had a hard time warming up to Zeke. One thing I struggle with in books is how a person can ever find themselves attracted to someone who is a complete asshole most of the time. He definitely grew on me and I ended up loving his character in the end. He definitely redeemed himself. Willow was a breath of fresh air. I loved her free spirit and willingness to see the brighter side of things. Especially when things were looking bleak. She was also a little spit-fire! The ending was very sweet. I do recommend this one. Just ignore Zeke in the beginning. He really is a nice guy.
