Knox Porter is TDH, guitar player and singer in a local bar, George’s, where he also bartends when he is not playing on stage.  Knox’s twin, Max is the first of the two to spot Bailey and tell Knox, I just spotted your future wife.  “See something you like Darlin?” is what lured in Bailey to finally approach Knox, and I’m so glad that she did. 

The truth to the story of Summer and what happened in Grove will absolutely break your heart.  I was crying just reliving what Summer and Bailey went through.  Not looking for love when coming to Blackrock, Bailey finds Knox.  But will they be able to be together by getting over their scarred hearts from their grief stricken past? 

I gave this novel 5 stars.  I loved it and it had be intrigued all the way through.  I found myself at one point stopping, not sure if I was able to endure what was to come.  I’m so glad I sucked it up and finished it out.  This book was awesome and I highly recommend it and continuation of the series as well.  

What do you do when the girl you love stops breathing in your arms?

When life kicks you while you are down? 

You get up and fight, fight like hell!

This is book 2 of the Blackrock Series, and you must read Scarred Hearts to understand.  So, if you have not, read book 1 first!!  This book picks up exactly where book 1 finished.  I gave this book 5 stars as well.  Bailey & Knox stole my heart in book 1 and I’m so happy to be able to share my thoughts on the continuation of the series.  Word of advice, this book will tear at your heart, have a box of tissues handy! 

Bailey is definitely a “fighter” in more ways than one.  If it wasn’t for Knox’s love, she wouldn’t be able to get past some more rocky situations in their relationship.  The sender of the notes, and dead roses reveals himself and tries to make his promise come true.  But Bailey is not going down without a fight.

Bailey, Knox, Max & Paige all experience their own dilemmas throughout this book.    Their solutions don’t always bring them together.  They find themselves all dealing with personal problems and they need each other to get through all their trials and tribulations.  This book is equally dramatic, definitely tugged at my emotions and made them raw, so be prepared for an amazing emotional read.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Why write books?

Well it has always been a dream of mine to write a book, I have written many stories but never finished them or hid them away. Last November with some encouragement from my little sister I wrote my first novel Scarred Hearts. I enjoyed writing that book so much it took me three weeks to finish it! :)
