When Dee Dawson meets sexy mohawked guitarist Joel Gibbon, she knows it won’t be long before she has him wrapped around her finger. No guy has ever been able to resist her… but Dee’s met her match in a player like Joel.
Dee’s not the relationship type—not after seeing the pain “love” has caused her friends and family—yet she’s desperate to make Joel want her more than anyone else. He quickly becomes an obsession, and when a reckless attempt to make him jealous ends in disaster, Dee turns into the damsel in distress she never wanted to be. With her carefree world crashing down around her, the last thing she needs is Joel’s pity.
But Joel is suddenly determined to prove he cares, and no matter how hard Dee tries to push him away, he refuses to let her shut him out. Now the girl who swore she’d never say those three little words must choose between guarding her heart and losing Joel forever… or falling head-over-heels for the tattooed rock star of her dreams.

Reviewer’s Thoughts
We first met Dee and Joel in Mayhem. Dee was a free spirit who likes to sleep around. She was a great best friend to Rowan and Joel is a band mate of Rowan’s boyfriend Adam. Dee isn’t looking for love. Love is something that she never wants. She just wants hook ups and break ups. But you can’t always get what you want. Meeting Joel she thought she had the perfect love’em and ditch’ em relationship with Joel. She didn’t count on him knowing her game.
Joel was just a guy getting what he could out of life. Anything he ever wanted never lasted. He knows Dee’s type of girl, but he sees something in her and won’t play her games.
In a story where you get two people trying to change each other we actually see two people growing up. After an attempted rape by someone she thought she could use to make Joel notice her, she realized the type of person she was becoming.
Joel wanting to show her she is just more than what she thinks she is realizes he needs to make some changes in his life too. He needs to become someone she can count on to love and care about.
I really enjoyed this book. Dare I say it was so much better than the first?. Yes, I dare say it was
