Scott King swore off rock stardom after his band, King Phoenix, crashed and burned. Now in his forties, Scott lives a quiet life as a music producer and session guitarist. But in a box hidden in his wardrobe lie the relics of the past he left behind-a past filled with drugs, booze, and broken hearts. For sixteen years, Scott has had no contact with his former bandmates, so when he's asked to play at a benefit gig for King Phoenix's old sound man, his world turns upside down. A King Phoenix reunion means a run-in with Scott's ex, Ash Walker-and sixteen years ago, believing Ash wanted to leave the band, Scott OD'd and almost died. Since then, Scott has ruthlessly suppressed his feelings. As a result, he's completely unprepared for the impact of seeing Ash again, or for dealing with his emotions about the band's demise. He definitely didn't expect Ash to want to start up where they left off. Now Scott has to decide between his safe existence and the twenty-year-old love song that could cost him his sobriety-and his heart.

3.5*Good read about 20 somethings trying to break into the music business. It would have been better if the ending wasn't so rushed. I feel like the author just left them hanging. I think too much time was spent in the past and not enough in the present. Overall it was enjoyable. Though I'd like to...
