Things are about to get rocky for Dean Wentworth and Willow Wade.
Willow Wade is used to living in the spotlight, with her father a famous drummer in the band Willow Creek—her namesake—it’s been a lot to live up to and oftentimes she doesn’t feel she’s enough. But there has always been one person she could turn to.
Dean Wentworth knows a thing or two about how crippling a name can be. His family is worth billions after all. But Dean’s always been content to do his own thing. Play his guitar. Work on cars. And geek out to his various “nerdoms”.
But when Willow turns up unexpectedly, he realizes maybe there is more in life he wants.
Her.
One trip will change their lives forever.

Excerpt
Those bitches were gonna die.
That was a horrible thing to say about my so-called ‘friends’—and I used the word friends loosely, because true friends wouldn’t ditch you the day of your scheduled road trip because they’d rather be sunbathing in the Hamptons.
The fucking Hamptons.
Ew.
I mean, how clichéd could you get.
This was why I hated rich people.
It also sucked that I was one of those rich people.
Well, I wasn’t, but my dad was.
So by extension so was I.
When you grew up with a rock star for a dad, cameras and eyes followed you everywhere. It was exhausting.
I couldn’t just be Willow.
I was Willow Wade.
The daughter of the famous drummer Maddox Wade.
People expected greatness from me.
I just wanted to graduate college without slitting my wrists.

It’s time for the next generation to show what they’re made of
Willow Wade is used to living in the spotlight, with her father a famous drummer in the
band Willow Creek—her namesake—it’s been a lot to live up to and oftentimes she
doesn’t feel she’s enough. But there has always been one person she could turn to.
Dean Wentworth knows a thing or two about how crippling a name can be. His family is
worth billions after all. But Dean’s always been content to do his own thing. Play his
guitar. Work on cars. And geek out to his various “nerdoms”.
But when Willow turns up unexpectedly, he realizes maybe there is more in life he
wants.
Her. One trip will change their lives forever. (Amazon blurb)
I’m aware there were a two other series created before this one, those relating to
Willow’s and Dean’s parents, and I’m not sure if not having read them before this one
would have been important or not, so for all intent and purposes, for this review, I’m not
taking into consideration those previous series. Willow and Dean are best friends and it
show – from their ability to comfortable with each other, to enjoy their many quirks
without fear of judgement and especially being able to rely on each other when things
get rough. The only thing they never expected was how their relationship evolved to
something more but not knowing how to act upon the emotions. From that point on, I felt
that these two characters had to learn to grow up and understand what it meant to be
responsible for someone else but themselves, and by that I mean, responsible for
someone else’s heart. It was and is the beginning of a new series, and absolutely this
couple still has room to grow. Micalea Smeltzer has given readers an introduction to
what can be another amazing and popular series, given the fact that Willow and Dean
have just began their journey and the next generation will rise up to the occasion. Would
I recommend this novel? Probably, but to be absolutely sure, I’d take a look at the
previous series and make sure I’m not missing key information or elements.
