If you love someone set them free.
Ty and Zoey meet one day and fall in love however, Zoey wants to leave to pursue a higher education. She breaks Ty”s heart and leaves only to meet her again years later. Ty is now a huge famous rock star and Zoey has her higher education. Zoey and Ty are older and realize they are still in love despite all the hardships they faced keeping them apart. I loved this book. The relationship was so realistic and intimate. I know a lot of friends who have met someone only to find them again years later and marry. So romantic. It goes to show that old saying “If you love someone set them free and they will come back to you if it was truly meant to be.” (Or something like that. Sorry, I am paraphrasing. Lol.) is really true. I loved how outspoken Zoey was. She really spoke her mind and how Ty was the gorgeous talented “Sensitive” musician. Lol. I will be looking for more books by this author on Amazon or Hidden Gems. (whichever comes first) Does she have a newsletter? I received a complimentary copy of this book from Hidden Gems in exchange for an honest review.
Great read. It was hard to get into at the beginning, but I really got immersed after the 8 year break. I enjoy rockstar stories and I did enjoy this one, but I am tired of characters leaving their partners for the benefit of the one being left. The writing was great, I did feel the connection between Ty and Zoey and I loved that! This romance is reminiscent of the first rockstar romances I ever read, it’s not by any means a duplicate, it just has that tone, which I loved. It’s a bit nostalgic.
Endless LTZ
Less Than Zero was an up and coming Indie rock ban in Seattle playing clubs and small venues when 17 year old Zoey met 23 year old Ty Rainier. It was instant chemistry. These guys are on their way to stardom and headed out on a National tour. At the advice of someone special in Ty’s life, Zoey breaks up with him before the tour begins and ghosts him. Ty goes off on tour and eventually off the rails and Zoey heads off to college and then law school. Eight years later the person who broke them up sets things up so they are thrown together again. Both are more mature and secure in their careers now. But can the past be forgiven? Is this a second chance to prove that young love can be everlasting?
A wonderful rockstar romance by Kaylene Winters!
Holy cow! I knew from reading Connor and Ronni’s book that Ty and Zoey’s story was going to be one emotional rollercoaster ride. I wasn’t disappointed. The plot was amazing and real. The storyline flowed smoothly throughout even though you wanted to smack the immaturity out of both of them. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down until I finished. I love all the characters even the ones you have to hate. There was lots of drama and angst Ty and Zoey had to work through to get their HEA. I know people in their lives had their best interest at heart – they needed to butt out and let them make their mistakes. Carter was old enough to know better than to interfere. Ty and Zoey both got into their own way overthinking things. I was glad to see them both grow up and mature at the end. I can’t wait to read Jace and Alex’s story! I am so glad I found this author!!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book from Hidden Gems.
What a great second chance romance! Even though Zoey broke up with Ty, th author managed to make Zoey likeable. Ty is shy and awkward in spite of being a rocker, which makes him irresistible! He and Zoey meet and it’s almost love at first sight. Their love story has lots of angst, love and sexy scenes. I loved this book and cant wait to read the next one in the series.
This was a rockstar second chance romance. The book was angsty, an emotional rollercoaster (tissues strongly advised) and sweet. The characters were well developed and relatable.
Tyson Rainier is a 21 year old from the wrong side of the tracks. He has an addicted mother, no father and has been abused. His way out is his band Less Than Zero. His friend Zane’s father is a former rockstar and helps the band get their first tour. At a concert he meets Zoey Pearson a 17 year old high school student who rocks his world. The two start a relationship after she turns 18 but she breaks it off with him right before the tour starts on the advice of Zane’s father. Both are devastated. He goes on to write about their relationship and getting the band to superstar status. She gets her law degree. They meet again when he wants to setup a non-profit to help disadvantaged kids. They rekindle their relationship but have a hard time adjusting and get betrayed by someone he trusts. They eventually work out their issues and get their HEA.
Ty and Zoey’s story is filled with emotion, drama, love, previous hurts and redemption. I absolutely adored this story. Ty is a haunted guy who makes some really bad choices, but his love for Zoey is steadfast and all consuming. Zoey is selfless and really shines in the end. You don’t want to miss this full circle romance! I was sent a complimentary copy and I am choosing to leave my honest review.
If you love a good rockstar romance then this book is definitely for you, it keeps you wanting more even after the story ends. And for this to be the author’s debut novel well she really knocked it out of the park.
Zoey and Ty have such an awesome love story…one of romance, steam, angst, first love, dealing with being in love with a rockstar. I seriously can not wait to read more books from this author.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. I love these story. I couldn’t put the book down. Great characters that pull you into their story and will pull at your heartstrings. Ty and Zoey have panty melting chemistry. The story flowed effortlessly with a few twists and turns and also some very real tender moments. The emotional journey they take figuring out where to go now with the relationship
The angst in this killed me and not because it was bad but because it was good and went so well with the story. I felt the emotions and pain Ty and Zoey went through. I couldn’t help but be sucked into the story and at one point I wanted to jump into the Kindle and knock some sense into all the characters. It’s sweet, angsty, sexy, and passionate and showcases everything that can happen with young love and how you come back from that to move forward.
I loved this book. It was one of those books that you just simply couldn’t put down! It caught my interest from the prologue and held it until the last page. The characters were all likable and each of the other band members were introduced enough so that made you want to get to know each of them. I am so ready for each of their books! I appreciate the fact that Tyson respected Zoey enough to wait until she was of age to make love with her but still made her feel like she was loved and cherished. The fact that Zoey accepted the fact that she would stand in the way of Ty’s dream of becoming a successful member of a rock band was both heartbreaking and inspirational. The story spans over 10 years with glimpses how they missed each other and both tried to move on with there lives but couldn’t. I was glad to see the way Carter finally admits that he had made a mistake and reunites the pair. Definitely put this one on your to be read list!
I loved this book the author is a first for me and I’m on edge waiting for more please read this book and more by this author you won’t be disappointed
Kaylene Winter brings a strong new voice to the rock star romance world with her debut Endless.
With a love at first sight scenario that burned bright enough to singe the pages Ty and Zoey’s connection seemed too good to be true and ultimately was. Miscommunications and good intentions with tainted outcomes led to a painful separation that scarred their hearts and built walls of insecurities. The manipulated estrangement of this pair and the tragic emotional wreckage it left behind was heartbreaking.
Ty was a tortured hero full of love and yet always at a deficit for it until he met Zoey. The purity of his devotion to her was touching and well contrasted with how he grew up and his path to fame. Not overly comfortable in his own skin, unless he was on stage, his pursuit of Zoey was as sweet as it was uneasy. Zoey was kind and unassuming, the goodness of her actions reflecting the core of who she was. Her nurturing upbringing carried over to her relationship with Ty making theirs a bond that was selfless.
When this pair reunited the angst and pain they felt was evident in their every interaction. Their anger and resentment showed all the signs of permanently keeping them apart but eventually their tie to each other was strong enough to draw them back together, forcing them to work through their issues. Between Ty’s past full of betrayal and hardship, making Zoey’s abandonment even more devastating, and the pain Zoey suffered in leaving Ty to only discover that the sacrifice she made in leaving him in the end was unnecessary, this couple had their work cut out for them. Ty and Zoey’s reunion was not an easy one as they had years to build up their defenses. Regret and resentment paved a rocky road to reconciliation but Ms. Winter did a great job of pointing her characters in the right direction as she rebuilt their trust in a believable manner.
Kaylene Winter delved into her portrayals emotions with intent not trying to trivialize them and baring their souls. She did not make the rock and roll lifestyle she wrote about glamorous but showed the pitfalls of fame and the sacrifices made in order to achieve it. In a competitive world of ruthless pursuit of recognition she brought a truth to her readers with sensitive writing even as she exposed the best and worse in her characters adeptly. Ms. Winter captured the angst of first love and incorporated all the self-doubt and vulnerabilities of her leads with a sharp eye and kind writing for an all-consuming read in Endless.
This book is an absolute rockstar masterpiece. It is near impossible to believe that Endless is this author’s first book given her brilliant writing style, creative storying telling, and impeccable character development. This second chance novel packs an emotional punch. If you are looking for a light romance, this is not it as Zoey and Ty’s story is a rollercoaster of drama & angst with swoon worthy romantic & steamy moments and a smattering of humor.
The beginning of this story left me nostalgic as it highlights the sweetness of young love and captures those feelings where the Ty and Zoey believe that they need each other more than air. However, things implode just as Ty is headed off on tour with his band LTZ. Eight years later, the two encounter each other again only to discover that the their souls are still caught in each other’s orbits.
I adored Ty. He starts off as this awkward young man with “less than zero” game, yet exudes confidence and swagger while he commands his audience on stage. As a hero, he is complex with an interesting backstory and I enjoyed watching his character evolve. Zoey is shy, studious, and so hard working to the extent that it is a coping mechanism for her. Even with some of her back and forth behaviors that annoyed me at times, I truly liked her as a heroine. I had to remind myself that she was only 18 years-old when she made what she thought was a selfless decision; thus setting the course for devastating heartache without fully anticipating the full scope of consequences. Upon being reunited, the sparks are stronger than ever, but the author does a great job illustrating that resentment, emotional baggage, insecurities and mistrust are obstacles that they must overcome.
One of the things that I like about this book is that the author reveals how the rockstar life isn’t all glitz and glamour and that the result of fame impacts not only the famous person but also their significant others. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the secondary characters. I loved the LTZ’s bandmates as well as Zoey’s friend Alex. It was also interesting to see how the author was providing hints about her next novel in the series. Endless is a standalone romance with a HEA, but their journey is one that will batter your heart, however it also leaves the reader with feelings of hope, love, and romance.
5 out of 5 stars! This book is a true pleasure. I could not put it down!
The combination of compelling characters who have enough drama to keep the engagement high + being set against the backdrop of Seattle equals a true summer romance that sizzles.
The author takes us on an exciting journey that kept the pages turning with a story that has the common threads that bind anyone who has had a wild crush on a rock star and considered what that life might actually be like.
This book is packed with plenty of engaging highs and vivid experiences to invite readers to jump in and take the ride – and now I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series!
Have you ever found a new author, not just ‘new to you’, but first book ever new and were totally WOWED by what you were reading? Well, rockstar romance lovers, this is a treat you’ll want to discover!!! I can’t get this exciting story or these lovable characters out of my head and I wouldn’t want to anyway. I may have gone a wee bit crazy highlighting pages so I could go back and read my favorite parts all over again. I still can’t believe this is the work of a brand new author..it just blows mind.
Kaylene Winter has managed to get all my attention with her flowing and addictive writing style, nailing the beauty and awe of tender young love with a flick of her talented fingers. Her fated characters melted my heart – sweet, funny and somewhat bookwormish, Zoey Pearson- a huge music lover and Ty/Tyson Rainier, a bit awkward, unknowingly gorgeous- a reluctant lead singer with a one of a kind voice. He and his band brothers, LTZ, have been playing the Seattle bar scene for a while now and are about to break out…ready and waiting for their rise to stardom. Zoey couldn’t imagine why he looked her way, but together, these two soulmates were racing hearts, gentle touches and hoping with everything they had, to live the dream of forever.
My heart spent some time living in my throat as I read along, while the angsty ups and downs of all consuming first love embedded themselves under my skin. The intensity of Zoey and Ty’s emotions, her selfless sacrifices and their collective pain, sometimes had me reaching for the tissues as their story began to unfold. Moments of humor, strength, determination balanced out the raw edges, with love always waiting underneath it all. I hung onto every word as they wrapped themselves around me…this was my kind of book perfection and I couldn’t get enough of it.
Zoey and Ty’s heartfelt romance may singe your kindles with all that super sexiness that couldn’t help swirling around them.. an added bonus, in my opinion! Endless is a phenomenal beginning in what promises to be a ‘to die for’ new series that will continue on as each member of the fabulous chart topping band- Less Than Zero, gets their own stories, hopefully with happily ever afters, while grabbing another piece of my rockstar loving heart!
The iconic city of Seattle, where music and this author call home, turned out to be a star attraction all its own in this unforgettable story. I will look forward to seeing more of it, along with my new favorite book couple, the swoontastic Ty Rainier and his sweet, beautiful butterfly, the love of his life, Zoey Pearson.
Can you tell, I really have to recommend this one? This poignant story broke my heart but then pieced it back together again, checking all my boxes along the way…what more can you ask for in a romance!
What is more fun that finding a new author who has written a brilliant rockstar romance debut? Wow did I find a gem with this one!
It has to be every rocker fan’s dream to have the lead singer of a band watch you from the stage then come and talk to you. This dream came true for Zoey as she met Ty and began an epic love story that spanned years.
Unfortunately Zoey never really believed that she was good enough for super talented Ty and it didn’t take much for her to act on the advice of his manager and leave Ty behind for the sake of his career. It was heartbreaking to see this young love broken in two. Although both of them are devastated it drives them on to succeed in their careers, Ty’s band becomes world famous and Zoey loses her self in her career and becomes a lawyer in record time but neither has ever forgotten their first love. When they meet again, although the spark is still there they have a lot of pain and anguish to work through before they can plan a future together.
This story really is totally amazing. Your heart will break for both of these people who go through so much pain, suffering and struggle to trust again, both apart and when they meet again.
This is the start of what I am sure is going to be a terrific rocker series from a new author to watch, and I am so excited to read more.
Rock romance fan will be pleasantly surprise with this debut read that doesn’t disappoint. I’m always in awe when a new author brings life to the characters that transport you to a happy place. Zoey and Ty’s characters were sweet and likable, you can relate to the storyline as their journey takes them to first love and last everything. I love the growth that these characters take with all the feels that makes their HEA so worth it. I can’t wait to see where this series goes!
5 Fantastic Rock Stars!!
Rock romance lovers this is a book for you. How about this? You are two weeks away from turning 18 and you and your bestie go to a club to see this band that’s about to make it big. The lead singer makes eye contact with you throughout and then finds you in the club later and shyly asks for your number. Shyly? What the h*ll?! This man is beyond hot and oh so talented. There are a couple of problems though because he is 21 and with the help of his bandmate’s dad has your band on the verge of going on tour for the very first time. The good part you have this summer before you go to college and your rocker embarks on his tour.
This all sounds fantastic and you both feel that you truly are soulmates and in love. So you know that saying that if you love them set them free? That’s what Zoey finally decided to do with Ty. Carter the famous rocker and Ty’s pseudo dad has asked you to break up with Ty so that he will not be held back from become the rock star that Ty is meant to be. Both of you nearly crash and burn because of the breakup. Now eight years later things have majorly changed. Zoey has become a lawyer and Ty has lived every bit of the rock star life of s*x, drugs and rock n roll. Is there any way back to one another after a certain someone plays cupid for you with an unexpected meeting?
How do you trust someone who let you go so many years ago and how do you trust this rock star after the sordid life he has led? Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down. I felt like I was on the same rollercoaster as Ty and Zoey and let me say that was one HOT ride they were on!! This was a new author to me and I am totally hooked. I can’t wait to read what comes next with the guys from Less Than Zero. This was a total winner for me!
As a person who is easily turned off by the cheesiness of some romance novels, I really enjoyed this book! In terms of the relationship, it has all the elements I want: it’s a tender “first love” story, and a passionate “forever love” story. Plus, haven’t we all fantasized about dating a celebrity? What that lifestyle would be like? Or of a reunion with “the one who got away”? This story has enough sex to make it fun without feeling like it’s all-out porn, and the language is snappy and current. Aside from the actual romance, it’s clear that the author knows a few things about the entertainment industry and the role of social media in promoting people and products. You get to see the glamorous and the really ugly sides of fame and the impacts of media. You get to see what it’s like to live a rock star life. And the characters even manage to work in some important social causes. I found it really interesting and, yes, educational. But back to the romance…the author cleverly introduced the characters from the next books already so I can hardly wait to start reading the next one!
