Ryker Oakley only cared about three things during school —fighting, his band, and getting laid. When he took it upon himself to ‘babysit’ Bryleigh Munroe, he didn’t expect her to be so much trouble, and he sure as shit wasn’t prepared for how fast she would grow on him. Fast-forward to eight years later, his band—Twisted Transistor—is the most successful rock group known to mankind. When his … When his brother’s wedding brings the only girl he ever came close to caring about back into his life, he discovers something he thought they had left behind in the past, had been destroying her daily.
Bryleigh Munroe was a popular girl at school, but because her father was a politically powerful man in the San Diego region, the boys either swore away from her or were trying too hard to get with her. She wanted one night. Quick and dirty. No strings. Only she didn’t expect Ryker Oakley to flip the script on her without her even realizing. Eight years later, Bryleigh still battles with the mistakes she made when she was younger. She’s had to deal with things that she shouldn’t have had to, all on her own.
After all this time has their bond remained silent? Can she forgive the torment Ryker inflicted on her? Or will the choices they made all those years ago force them to re-unite.
This is book two in the Westbeach series, but can be read as a stand-alone.

He pushes, she pushes back……
……this just about sums up Ryker and Bry.
Ryker now the hot rock star and Bry now a nurse…..and both back in Westbeach. Sparks will fly!
It’s no secret that I am totally HOT for Ryker and he can absolutely do no wrong in my eyes. But gawd that man is intense…..for Bry, which bruises my ego!!!!!
But when cover ups come back to bite you in the ass, what happens then? Who will feel like letting go from the push and pull?
This book is a great read, hot, angst and the side characters are just so loveable.
The epilogue = KILLED me.
Omgggg this book!!! I CRIED SO MUCH I COULDN’T EVEN CONTROL IT. This book was so beautiful, it was everything!
3.5 Stars
The story line was good, the character work was terrific and the book had a fairly smooth flow to it. While I enjoyed the books there were spelling and grammatical errors galore. There were also many things that occurred that were just a little to unrealistic for my liking. I notice that this author seems to have a theme in which she religiously follows and that is that all of her characters are rich, entitled and never have to answer for their behavior. While I do read books to escape reality, it would be nice if there was some believable behavior and actions taken by the characters in the books that I read. That being said, there are several of the side characters from this series and the Sinful Souls MC series that I think deserve to have their own books. Some of the side characters were much more appealing than the main characters and I want more of them.
I massively messed up reading around Westbeach, and I’m so glad I finally got to this one!! Ryker was absolutely delicious, his banter made me salivate and swoon and my heart sped up for him the entire book. I loved him the whole way through, and their story was a steamy, angsty, addictive, couldn’t put down, read in one sitting, must read gem!!! Love, love, loved it!!!

Ryker is a player. Part of the very successful rock band Twisted Transistor, along with his friends and twin brother, Ryker’s all about having a good time. Not taking life seriously is what he excels at. With the one exception of Bryleigh.
When his twin Ryder gets married, it’s only a matter of time before Ryker comes face to face with his past and the fireworks begin.
Bryleigh was destroyed last time she was with Ryker. When one night changes their relationship forever, the consequences are still been felt years later. After going their separate ways, Bryleigh was determined to stay away him forever but when Ryker comes to her rescue, with explosive consequences, Bryleigh finds it hard not to give in to the push-push, pull-pull between them.
Both addicted to the other, both know it never ends well but can they stay away? Do they even want to?
I loved both these characters. Getting the insight of their past relationship, this book really sucked me in.
Ryker shows a different side to his character in this book. He’s still the joker of the group but he’s so much more than that. Strong, dependable, obsessed and possessive, he worked his way into my heart. Bryleigh, my heart broke at times for her, but even after all she’s gone through she’s still a strong, sassy lady.
With the rest of the gang there supporting/egging them on, chemistry that nearly set my kindle on fire and an addictive story, I absolutely loved this book.
