[close] Music journalist Tru Bennett has done the impossible: capture the heart of rock-star bad boy Jake Wethers. Now they’re busy planning a wedding and navigating their new life together in the US. Of course Tru misses London and her best friend, Simone, but living happily ever after with Jake in LA is going to be great…right?

Wrong. Even the bright California sun can’t whitewash the dark side of celebrity coupledom. Greedy music execs, merciless paparazzi, and Jake’s wild past are lurking around every corner. Making matters worse, Jake announces he doesn’t want kids, which just may be a deal breaker.

The story begins with our 26 year old love birds, Tru and Jake on an island and Jake being Jake, he rented the entire thing for them. Whoops, the reason they are there is because Tru didn't hide her gigantic pink diamond engagement ring after the concert and of course someone saw in the press so they snuck away. Jake is hiding something work wise from Tru and that's crappy. Oh boy.. Jake doesn't want kids. Oh cue the late night throwing up.. Tru is so pregnant already!

The fuck! Someone has stolen half a million dollars from the label. They're back in LA and Tru can't have sex in his house where he was with other women.. It's been five days. Birthday gift number five ends up being a gorgeous house. A 30 million dollar Hollywood Hills mansion that Tru keeps saying "holy fuck" about. Jake bought Tru a piano so she can play again (she have it up after Jake left).

I knew it! Tru is pregnant and Jake doesn't want kids. They aren't married yet and it's going to get intense. Wow. Tru knew Jake would run. I was like naw he's grown, but no he does and then she runs. He tracks her to LAX and he makes her listen to him. PHEW.

"Love is just another word until someone comes along and gives it meaning."

The fuck. There's an accident and Tru may fucking die and they have a son born at five months. A week in a coma aged me. Tru wakes up and she recognizes Jake. She names their son Jonathan Jacob, JJ for short. They get married at their spot back in England. Jake buys them a house there and they go back and forth. Simone and Denny marry and are pregnant. Stuart and Josh marry. Tru is pregnant with their second son. Loved it.

Cliffhanger – no (book 2 of series)
