From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ashley Jade comes an edgy, enemies-to-lovers standalone romance about mistakes, forgiveness, and second chances.
He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted.
I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated.
He was the sun...drawing all of us in.
I was a black hole...taking up space.
He was destined to be a star.
I was destined to remain an insignificant no one.
Until he made me believe I was special...
And then he destroyed me.
I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans.
One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows.
Countless opportunities to make him pay.
The world thought he was a God...
But I knew the truth.

This story just hits right, you get all the angst and emotion with such a captivating story. I couldn’t put it down.
I’m always wary of such long books (700pages) because things (for me) tend to drag etc BUT not with this, everything had a reason and I finished way too quickly and wanted more.
Lennon and Phoenix start as friends and slowly becoming more but before it really starts trust is broken and betrayal breaks them.
Their relationship 4years later is one of hate and loathing, Lennon doesn’t want to be around Phoenix but circumstances make it happen.
Their relationship is messy, volatile and raw but full of so much emotion.
I honestly wasn’t sure if Phoenix could redeem himself BUT damn was I wrong, I loved his raw open honesty and his action s to show how sorry he was. His guilt was front and centre and not always delt with in a healthy way.
Lennon is the girl who cares and always helps, her care of her Dad and all they go through together is full of love and can be so hard to watch (he got early onset dementia).
Ashley handled the emotion and care of onset dementia with perfection and it really hit home.
I’m excited for Skylar and Memphis’s story next.
She’s had a crush on him for years but there’s no way Phoenix Walker would want someone like her. Or does he?
A love hate rock romance. Amazing characters with an epic tale of love and loss.
“He’s like the sun. The energy radiating off him pulls you in and you can’t help but get closer. Aching to feel the heat on your skin. To make contact with something so powerful. So beautiful. Even if it burns you.”
May be in reference to Phoenix Walker
May be the book
It’s a highly emotive story starting with exploring how two young people in expectantly fall in love while one is struggling with a learning difficulty and abuse at home and the other struggles with their relationship with food .
Then one breaks the others heart. And they become enemies .
Thrown into fame phoenix lives in a world of debauchery until the unthinkable happens and he spirals further out of control .
His best mate knows the only one with a chance of helping him is Lennon but she doesn’t give in lightly .
The story then explores issues of Alcoholism , grief and loss , more health issues , fake babies and surprise family connections , love and hate , fame vs fortune , lies and deceit , heartache and healing it’s a very full story - one that kept my attention and made me feel.
I loved phoenix storm and Memphis and can’t wait for more from the band . I have to admit Lebanon’s stubbornness frustrated me at times but she was still easy to connect to .
I do have to wonder though there were a few thing left open . And I can only hope the next books of the others will explore these : what happened to George ? Did they replace him in the end ? How does the interview go ? Does lennons plan work for all concerned ? Can they write the next album together ? (Please ) , I guess that’s why I gave it a four . For a stand alone there’s too many unanswered questions for me .
Overall a great story though and a great world the author has created !
Phoenix is love. Like each one of Ashley's heroes are so cold and they are the ultimate bad boys, this was no less. But once they give you these glimpses of pain and their suffering, you can't help but fall for them. Phoenix and Lennon have a story which will pull your heartstrings and before you know it you'll have another book for your top shelf!
Another thing that I loved was her style of twisting the tales of the side characters in between and I couldn't help but obsess over them too! I want their story so bad. I already have the couples made in my head lmao 😂
Definitely recommending this standalone angsty enemies to lovers romance to all the contemporary romance loving people out there. Ashley had me hooked from the very first page and I hope the same happens to you all!
Excellent plot with many interesting sub-plots and engaging multidimensional characters that I loved or in some cases hated.
The only criticism that I have is that I would liked a bit more at the end. I thought it ended fairly quickly (good but quick) and I wanted to see more of Lennon’s plan roll out and Phoenix’s reaction to it and read a bit more about what happens next for them.
Definitely worth a read. I look forward to reading future stories of the other characters.

I have to be in the mood for a rock star trope, but this doesn’t hit like that. You’ve taken me from high school into stardom and fully engrossed me in this story. I was literally saturating in this life.
I am not even sure I know what I will do with my life anymore.
Side characters… main characters.. the whole kit and caboodle. I’m in. All in.

What an amazing story, I just couldn’t put it down.
The book takes us on a journey that tells the story of Phoenix and Lennon’s trials and tribulations; and how they get their happy ever after.
Lennon blossoms from a insecure young girl to an independent woman who still maintains her integrity and heart.
I enjoyed reading how Phoenix evolves from the fear of his childhood into the man that he knows Lennon deserves.
Piece by piece you grow with these characters. I love how the author grips you in from the start, gives you the right balance of love, lust, angst and detail of about every character (including the supporting casts)!
I’m excited to read Skylar’s story and im hoping there is one on Storm and Quinn.
Go pick up this book! You won’t be disappointed!
