From The Publisher:

WARNING: This book has one girl and five bad boy rockstars. She owns them all-heart, body and soul.

Don't read it unless you like to ugly cry...and also unless you like threesomes, foursomes...and moresomes.

"Can one of these five rockstars fill the hole in my heart? Or will I stay broken forever?"

Young, dumb, and broke.

That's what started everything. With five dollars in her pocket, and everything she owns stuffed in the back of her car, Lilith Goode's life is over. Done. Destroyed.

Ten words. One text. That's what it took to change the whole world.

A crumpled concert ticket. A chance encounter. That's what it takes to start all over again.

Five rockstars. One girl. Six dark hearts, six withered souls.

But can one broken person really put another back together again?

And is a cross-country tour the place to do it?

I'm really just going to give a review on this first book, because I blitzed through this trilogy over the course of Friday and Saturday. Which tells you that, at least for me, it was hard to put down.

You know, I don't read a lot of contemporary romance - I just generally am not that into it. But something about these people - how these guys clearly cared about each other enough to stay together but were hurting so much they were damaging each other - was really compelling. Also, I have to say, there's m/m in this series and while usually I don't care about that one way or the other - like, it doesn't bother me, but it doesn't get me hot and bothered either - in this series I loved it. And that was because ... their relationships were just so emotionally loaded, the healing it represented when these guys come together ... I couldn't help but be moved.

For me, this series was just utterly character-driven, and riveting. I really enjoyed it.
