When good goes bad in the latest installment of Laura Pavolv’s star-crossed lovers
trilogy, you’ll want to be there every step of the way.
Life is sweet until it’s not…
I followed my dreams when I wanted to follow my heart.
I spent the summer touring with the band. Cruz Winslow is the love of my life and
being with him 24/7 was amazing, until it came to an end.
I needed to go back to school … school while he finished up his commitment to Exiled.
But, that one decision threatened to tear us apart. And although I knew a long-distance
relationship would be challenging—the time change, classes, studying for exams
didn’t help.
Being away from one another was more difficult than I ever imagined.
There was no doubt in my mind he was the one for me, but was true love going to be
enough?
Because I gave him my heart, and he promised me forever…
I’m living a dream that isn’t even mine…
As the lead singer of Exiled, I’ve become a household name, and everyone wants a piece
of me.
I’m trying to maintain a relationship with my girlfriend—but the road was a cruel
mistress and wouldn’t let go.
I’m chained to my band, chained to my fans, and chained to my family. And I don’t want
any of it —all I want is More Jade.
After Jade leaves for school, I miss her like hell and backslide into my old ways.
It kills me because she’s the one person I don’t want to disappoint.
I love her so much, but deep down I know she deserves a hell of a lot better than
me.
I know I need to set her free.
But I can’t let her go…
Because what if she doesn’t come back?

I put off reading this book for months because I knew it was going to break me. I was correct. Although this was a gut wrenching book full of turmoil and heartbreak it was a beautifully written story. And now I go on to the next one to hopefully heal my heart.
What an amazing addition to this series! I am so in love with Laura Pavlov! Cruz and Jade’s continuation was EVERYTHING I wanted it to be! I don’t think I can truly convey how much I love this series! I cannot wait for the next book – I need it RIGHT NOW!! FIVE HUGE STARS!
More of You by Laura Pavlov continues Cruz and Jade’s story and book 1, More Jade, must be read first. This time around the story is more angst-filled and emotional. Jade is back at school and Cruz is fulfilling the band’s commitment. The long distant relationship is what both want, because they want to stay together, but it is taking its toll on them. They love each other, we can see it, but can it be enough for them? Their journey was an emotional rollercoaster full of twists and turns I cannot wait to see how their story ends in the final book.

More of You is the second book in a 3 book series, I’m sure if you chose to you could read as a stand alone though I would say this book would definitely make more sense if read in order.
WOW I was in absolute love with Cruz and Jade in More Jade and I have fallen much more in love with them in More of You. I really do believe they are my favourite book couple of 2020 so far and it would take something pretty special to beat them.
Right at the start we heard Jades wonderful father call her Jady Bug and it just made me smile, it was seriously like coming home. It was so lovely seeing more of him in this book, I love their relationship and I am so happy he finally got together with his lovely lady. Jade has such a wonderful caring support unit in them both.
What a massive roller coaster of emotions this book was!! Omg it was just crazy full of twists and turns and situations I just never thought possible. I loved More Jade but this blew it out of the water with everything that this young couple have went through.
Unfortunately for them Cruz and Jade are surrounded with a few close to them that would love to see them and their relationship fall flat. Cruz’s father really stepped up his game in this book to show just how terrible a father he is and how little he cares about anyone aside from himself. His poor mother just allows him to call the shots regardless of the impact to her own life, but does he go to far this time? Can she change her life and put her and her sons first? We can only hope.
Dex is another one that really got worse in this book, that boy is out of control and putting others lives in danger. Honestly I would say he is jealous, it’s the only explanation I have but he needs a huge reality check.
Then there were the girls that tried to get in there! Some girls will stop at nothing , especially if offered an incentive to do their worst.
Throughout this book we see both Jade and Cruz struggle to deal with their lives and how to make their relationship work. Jade decided to go with her head and finish school and while this created a lot of angst for her, they both knew that this would cause some issues along the way.
The ultimate question is, Is love enough?? Can it conquer everything?
We just need to hope that it can because this pair want nothing more than to be together.
Thank you so much Laura for this amazing 5 book. I literally am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting on book 3.
Wow! The first book in this series, More Jade, was relatively low on angst. But this book, More of You, had it in spades, and that is something I live for when reading a rock star romance. To say that I loved this book would be an understatement. It is an authentic, raw and emotionally gripping must read that I simply cannot praise enough.
The first book was all about Jade and Cruz meeting and falling in love. It was super sweet and swoon worthy. But in this one, we are witness to the trials they are faced with as they try to navigate their relationship long-term. There were times when I was smiling from ear to ear, times when I found myself crying big ugly tears, and times when I was so frustrated I wanted to throw my kindle across the room.
More of You is an engrossing read that spares no punches. The writing is solid. The characters are flawed, genuine and compelling. This book has it all, from the angsty moments that have you holding your breath, to the intimate moments that make you swoon, to the utter heartbreak of rejection, betrayal and devastation. Nothing is glossed over, and it’s as addictive as it is painful and thrilling. 5 stars for Jade, Cruz and More of You!
Addicting, sweet, sexy and angsty that’s what this series is, and I am here for it!!
I always worry about the second book in a trilogy, especially in romance. Once the couple ends up together, I worry I’ll be bored with their everyday love story. There was no issues with boredom here! I legit flew through this book, I love these characters so much! I loved watching Jade and Cruz fight for their relationship and fight for each other, even when things got dark, and really hard. I especially love that nothing about this story is typical. It’s refreshing to read about such raw and real characters! I was so emotional reading this book! And that ending!! Thank goodness the wait for book 3 isn’t long! I’m so ready to see how Cruz and Jades story comes to a close. I can’t recommend these books enough!
Talk about intense!!!! This book picks up where book 1 leaves off and boy oh boy, get ready to go on one heck of a roller coaster ride of emotions!
Jade and Cruz are trying out a long distance relationship, but distance, schooling and obsessed fans make things much harder than it was when Jade was on the road and traveling with the band. Now the 2 have to decide if they really have what it takes to make it work when so many things are in their way.
This book had me hooked from the moment I started reading and I couldn’t put it down. My heart broke for some of the things both Jade and Cruz had to go through and they are both such strong characters, but even being strong doesn’t always mean that you know the right thing to do.
A must read book for sure!!!!

More of You is book two in A Love You More Rock Star Romance trilogy and each book MUST be read in order. You fall in love with More Jade and Cruz in book one. You see how two opposites truly do attract to each other and how it helps to balance each other out. It won’t be easy being a student and being in a band, so add a relationship to this and the waters will be tested. This book picks up right where book one ended. Book one left us yearning for more, this book will have you banging your device at this ending and saying so many things including ” No and why?!” I’m speechless. Jade and Cruz have a close love and they know this long distance is going to try their relationship especially being in the public eye, but while we knew Dex and Mr. Winslow to be a JERK (this is the nice word) boy did these events turn unexpectedly. Cruz is no saint (to a point he is as he would never cheat on More Jade), but it ain’t easy being on the road and while you won’t agree with his actions, you will understand how they became about. You will feel the love these two have and the journal entries from her mom (J.E.) along with the songs help make this book even more real. The journey continues for Jade and Cruz, but can they move on is the question when it comes to the ending of this story? Lips are sealed so you will need to read More of Us to see what transpires. I will say though, Lennon (Cruz’s brother and bandmate) does a complete 180 and I hope we see a story on him even though we know what transpires cause he has his own demons being a Winslow.
Wow! What a rollercoaster of emotions.
After finishing „More Jade“ I did not know what to expect for book #2 but WOW. I did not expect it to be this emotional and a whirlwind of actions.
The writing was great! I was sucked into the story right away. Jade and Cruz are just soulmates and I believe they can hold through anything they face.
During the course of the story I couldn‘t believe what I was reading. Soooo much happened and I wanted to scream at the author and cry because my heart was broken for both characters.
In my opinion Jade did the right thing for her. Cruz just needs to get his shit together right now so that we can all have the Happy End we deserve in book #3
I am excited and nervous to read the next book in this series because of everything that happened in the previous books. Definitely a good sign for this series!
5 out of 5
This is the 2nd book in this fascinating series and is a continuation of Cruz and Jade’s story. Jade had been on tour with the back and when it is time to go back to school Cruz finds it difficult and slips into his old ways. Can their love sustain a long-distance relationship? No spoilers: this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written story which is an emotional roller coaster throughout, as well a being raw, gritty, and with twists which all lead to a powerful and all-consuming read which had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I cannot wait to read #3, and I highly recommend this gifted authors’ work for all.
More of You by Laura Pavlov is the Second book in the A Love You More Rock Star Romance Trilogy Series. This continues the story of Jade Moore and Cruz Winslow, so you really need to read the previous book “More Jade” to fully understand this one. This book starts where we left off in the last one. Cruz is struggling with Exiled’s commitments because he just wants to be with Jade but she is now going back to College. Cruz’s dad turns darker in this book along with Dex. Cruz starts to self medicate with drugs and alcohol it seems. Jade isn’t having any easier time and finding that distant relationship are worse than she could image. This book of course ends with a cliffhanger setting us up for the next installment in their story. Can’t wait to read that one too.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!!!!
This book is the perfect example of why a series can be so powerful. I love standalone books but something you can only get with a story line spanning multiple books is an incredible depth of characterization. They have room to struggle with more emotion and higher stakes because they also have room to grow gradually over the course of the series.
Cruz and Jade are amazing. I fell hard for them in book 1, but I fell even harder for them here even though this book is where their love and relationship is tested. Book 1 was all about them meeting and falling in love and working things out but this book is all about them navigating the long-term obstacles of their relationship. The things that can’t be solved with a simple conversation.
I adore how honest this book is. A lot of it reflects my own experiences and relationships and I was totally blown away with how this books nimbly explored powerful topics. I’m not entirely convinced Jade and Cruz are characters because they feel so real to me. They are so in love and so dedicated and devoted to each other but the complications standing between them can’t be washed away with love – it takes more than that.
What this book really gets right is bringing in the weighty issues and having the characters learn for themselves that love and loyalty won’t make them disappear. Instead, they need to work on themselves and put in a genuine effort to be their own person and pursuing their own goals.
More of You perfectly explores the trials serious relationships may encounter and approaches how to handle them in a manner that ensures a healthy future. Despite the heavy topics and achingly raw honesty about those topics, the book takes great care to emphasize how much Cruz and Jade love each other. They are soulmates through and through and they are not done – the future is ripe with hope and the potential for happiness when they get a handle on what’s standing in their way. I can’t wait to see what the final book brings!
Rate: 5 / 5 stars
I took a few days after finsihing this baby to get my thoughts together to write this review. Did it work? Probably not! My heart is still a bit of a mess and, most of all, so anxious for the final book. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about these two. I honestly don’t know what it is but ever since I met these two, I fell so in love with them, to the point that they became one of my new favorite OTPs. That is some serious talk right there but it’s true. I love Jade and Cruz SOOO much. They kind of put my heart through the ringer in the second installement of their story.
I don’t want to spoil anything but gosh these two go through so much in this book. It’s kind of insane. So much happens, some really amazing things, some really sad things, things you weren’t expecting, things you feared… there is so much going on.
I loved reading about the band on the road even thought things were a mess when it came to the inner relationships of the guys. Dex is an even bigger jerk than in book one, so is Cruz’s dad. These two play some really important roles in this book… I did not expect everything surrounding these two to happen, it was crazy. When it comes to Cruz and Jade’s relationship, it’s kind of a complete rollercoaster, had a lot of ups and a lot of downs. They love each other so much but sometimes love just isn’t enough. The long distance relationship really gets to Cruz and he goes down a road I wasn’t expecting but maybe should have seen coming.
Lennon really surprised me. I already sort of loved him in book 1 even with all his faults but in this book, he made me proud. It was so amazing to see him thrive, fall in love and just be content in what he was doing. It was almost like he and Cruz switched places in this book, which is sad but true. I feel like it’s gonna really give them the chance to improve their relationship and work through all the BS within their family. I hope they come out on top of everything.
Wow this is review is turning out to be the size of an essay lol. I’ll try to wrap it up aha. Anyway, obviously this book doesn’t end in a HEA, it ends in a sort of cliffy… it’s one of hope though. At the point this book ends, it’s sad but you know that it isn’t over for these two and it’s time for them to grow on their own before they can truly make their relationship work. It’s not like there is no love between them, quite the opposite, there is so much love for each other but sometimes it isn’t enough, sometimes they need to work on other things to be able to make it work and I have no doubt they will. They’ll both live and experience things that will change them, make them grow, make them better people and be in the right place to get back together and make it last forever.
Gosh, I’m getting emotional ahah. I just love them so much and I need the final book asap. I could read about these two forever and never get tired. They are so precious and special. Guys, if you love rockstar romances, college romances and angsty books, please do yourself a favor and pick up this wonderful trilogy! You won’t regret it!
Laura Pavlov created one of my new favorite trope combos in this story and I love it so much. Her writing is amazing and the song lyrics oh my god guys, they are so beautiful, so gripping and emotional. I would love to see these songs come to life! And the relatiosnhip she created in Cruz and Jade gosh it’s so amazing and real and I just love the love between these two. Thank you for giving me these characters Laura! <3
