Once upon a time…
There was a little girl who believed in fairy tales and happily ever afters.
Hoping.
Praying.
Waiting…
For her prince to come.
Together they’d conquer the world.
Slaying dragons, demons, and villains.
Until her Prince Charming let his demons prevail.
She cried and begged and prayed.
She hated him.
She loved him.
She couldn’t save him.
“I’m sorry.”
“I love you.”
Were five words she despised more than anything.
Her fairy tale had become her worst nightmare.
She didn’t know how much more she could take.
She didn’t know love could turn into hate.
There were so many things she didn’t know.
Especially, how to tell him, “No.”

Review by Lisa Kane
I've seen the reviews for this book and I'm in the vast minority by my lack of passion for this one. Usually, I am quite a fan of this author's. She's written more than a few of my "go to" stories. But for me, this isn't one of them.
I liked the first book, From the First Verse, but I just lost interest in Cash's story. I think it was the endless number of times the phrase "Junie" was uttered. I get the reference, Journey is the June to Cash's Johnny. I had a hard time not thinking of Samantha Towle's The Storm series. Her character Jake Wethers called the heroine, Tru the June to his Johnny Cash. That story might be seven years old, but those nicknames stayed with me. So I had a definite disconnect every time he called out that name.
While Cash fights his addiction demons while loving his life as the bad boy of rock, Journey has her own battles. She swears time and again she will leave him because of his drinking, but she never seems to be able to walk out the door. She melts into a puddle of hormones when he comes on to her, which happens a lot. A whole lot. I couldn't help thinking that a little more tough love on her part may have cause Cash to have a come to Jesus a lot sooner.
The rebellious rocker who has disdain for the endless intrusions into his life, is a common theme. The fly in the ointment is sometimes drugs or booze or both. Cash runs from his poor decision making years ago that scarred his life. So goodbye family, friends, connections. It's only by facing up to what he ruined that he can ever move on.
There are a few really good scenes towards the end. One serves to shock and one to feel the main character's self loathing and fear. Both are well written. The story is well written, the characters just didn't hold my interest.
