I didn't know what to expect reading this one.... mostly because I know how book one left us off. I thought, now how can Lisa top that..... Well, you did. Again, grabbing me from the balls right from the start…” Excerpt When the reception ended, the three of us jumped in Max’s Blazer and headed down the hill. I was buzzed, but I knew I could drive; I’d driven before when I’d felt this way. We had the radio up loud and all the windows down. My elevated mood was making me overly confident, and I took one of the curves too fast. I knew it when the Blazer fishtailed. I tried to correct it without over correcting, but I was fighting to get the car under control, focusing on the wheel, and slowing down. I could feel the adrenaline racing through my body, my hands sweaty from tightly gripping the wheel. I was so absorbed in the immediate need to get the Blazer stable, that my vision was limited. The wheel, the road, stop fishtailing. I was concentrating so hard. The picture suddenly opened up just as I felt I was getting the Blazer under control, and everything went into slow motion when I saw the telephone pole looming large in the windshield. In my struggle to regain control I never saw the telephone pole we were heading for until it was too late. The blood was racing through my veins, pounding in my head. I thought I had slowed the Blazer down enough, but the pole was coming, coming. I tried to turn the wheel just as we hit it head on. I remembered in my elated mood I hadn’t put on my seat belt. The crunch of metal and the breaking of glass filled my ears. I held on to the steering wheel, locking my arms, bracing myself, but I still was thrust forward violently, and then it was over.

Awesome. WOW!
Really, really enjoyed this. Compelling from start to finish. I really felt like I was part of the story. Had to remind myself this wasn't real. So much more than just a "romance." Stayed up all night cuz I couldn't put it down. Not the ending I expected. I want more of this series. This could be a great movie! MORE PLEASE.

WOW-Amazon
I'm not quite sure how to explain my experience with this book....... I will start out by saying that I have absolutely nothing in common with Morgan Mallory. I grew up in a later decade than the book started in. I'm not into drugs or alcohol. I don't think any of that matters though. I may not have first hand experience of the things that Morgan went through but I ALMOST feel like I do. Throughout the book I could feel what Lisa Loomis was trying to express. I felt the same way with Boy in a Band by the same author. I don't know if it is her writing style or what?!?!?! Many times in both books my chest would actually ache and I would tear up because I was FEELING the book. Sometime I would find myself giggling or laughing out loud because of something that I read. I absolutely love books that can make you feel as if you're living it. The emotional rollercoaster of this book had me all over the place and I guess that's why I enjoyed it so much. From the lighthearted moments to the heavy, choke-you-til-you-can't-breathe moments, this book gripped me!
It doesn't matter if you like and/or agree with the things Morgan did, or didn't do. It's a story, and you don't even have to like it (which I did), but the feelings of sympathy, empathy, joy, hatred, sorrow, that I actually felt while reading won me over!!!

Heartfelt and Brilliantly done-Amazon
This is a story of love. This is a story of pain. A story of life altering loss and redemption.
It's a look into the lives of people who we all can relate to and see some of our own reflecting back to us with, for me was quite a journey. The title, "Casanova Cowboy" gave no hint of the emotional impact this story had on me. I actually had to stop reading at one point because I just couldn't stop crying..... I do recommend this as a must read along with "A Boy in the Band". They really do go hand in hand. Keep the tissues handy!
