Lucky Vale is looking for peace and quiet she has been in the middle of chaos for so long that she doesn't even know how to relax but she wants to try and she has started to find peace at her lake house in Cedar Lake Falls... she just needs to hide her identity a bit nothing like a box of hair dye to get rid of her pink locks everyone knows and even though it's the middle of summer she can cover her tattoos with long sleeves.
Lucky, a rock star who had been at the top of the world finds her life spiraling out of control she's tired of just being a product told what to do, where to go, and there is something darker in her past that comes up at the worst times she has PTSD from her encounter with a stalker years ago she's just trying to find out who she is away from the fame.
Ethan Maddox is the quiet, handsome, lumberjack next door, single father, ex-military with a past he doesn't like talking about but meeting Lucky he finds himself opening up more and more and she's beginning to know parts of him that he's kept hidden for a long time.
Just when Lucky feels that she can let her guard down and relax the past that she was trying to run from catches up in the worst possible way... can she trust Ethan enough to let him help her, she's felt so alone and pushed people away for so long this is what she knows... but just maybe she can trust Ethan to help her with her problems... and maybe even her heart?

Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this story Lucky is a Rockstar but you get to know her underneath the persona and you really feel for her and her situation she's been under a microscope for so long that she is barely holding herself together on a daily basis... she is in desperate need for a vacation/break from her world and everything else she is running from.
Once meeting Ethan and his daughter Lily you fall in love with both of them as well Ethan is at first gruff on the exterior but he's just a regular guy trying to take care of his daughter the best way he knows how while living with his own regrets about his past. Once Lucky and Ethan come together they help each other heal and you can see their feelings grow throughout the book it's truly beautiful even when Lucky tries to push Ethan away before he leaves her like she feels everyone else in her life does he understands she's going thru a lot and just stays with her as the strong steady presence she needs.
Once her past comes back without warning Lucky finds that Ethan is exactly who she needs behind her and he is truly a force to be reckoned with... no one harms what is his and he has claimed Lucky as his *Swoon*
The only thing that I felt got a bit in the way of the story was all the spicy times... while I don't mind spice in a book I felt that if they were on high alert worrying about things the last thing they should have been doing was making themselves vulnerable with spicy times all over both of their homes.
This was a great first book from this Indie author and I can't wait to read more from this author!
