College sweethearts London Uphill and Jared Kraft were inseparable. He was a rising baseball star with a promising future, and she seemed destined to become “Mrs. Kraft.” Then a tragic night and a series of devastating mistakes caused Jared to walk away from his life, leaving London without any explanation and tearing the couple apart.

Five years later, Jared has reinvented himself by putting down the bat and picking up a guitar to play for the red-hot band Wicked White. In all that time, London hasn’t gotten over her forever love—or the pain—despite seeking solace in the arms of the one man no one dreamed she’d run to.

When Wicked White’s lead singer goes MIA, Jared finds the time—and courage—to return to his hometown and face the mess he made. He’s shocked at how London’s life has changed, yet he’s determined to prove their love is worth fighting for. Is this breakup too big for any hope of a reunion tour? Or can London open her heart to Jared once again?

tina thoughts a review for you

Second Chance romance stories are some of my absolute favorites. I love seeing how the love and emotion evolves and how two people who loved before can love harder and stronger after time apart. Wicked Reunion overlaps in timing from the first book in this series, Wicked White. I enjoyed seeing how the band evolved and observing the controversy from multiple sides. In this tale, we focus on Jared’s story of love and loss. This story is told in past and present POVs, something that allows the reader to understand the present situation and learn the history of how each character ended up where they are. London and Jared are a couple that you would have seen in college and assumed that they would weather any storm and be together forever. I guess you would be right in that assessment in some regard but it is not the journey anyone would have thought for them.

This book has quite a few surprises. When you read the synopsis and begin the book you wonder what causes all the strife between these two characters. As the story unfolds in the past and the present, I was surprised at what happened but those surprises enhanced the story. It was nice to see a refreshing take on the rockstar romance story and read the highs and lows of what happened. I will not spoil the details but know that they add flair to the story that makes this book stand out. When London and Jared are reunited in the present, it was interesting to see how they reacted to each other. Their love and desire for one another has grown tenfold and that kind of love is what legends are written about. Things are hard and reality is brutal. Their hopeful reunion is not at all rainbows and butterflies. There were times that I wondered what would happen and where they could possibly go from where they were. But Valentine shows the reader that the journey is just as important as the destination, especially in matters of the heart.

My only complaint about this book is that I wanted more. When I hit 93% on my kindle, I was shocked. I did not realize I was so close to the end and I felt like there was so much more to know and experience. But Michelle takes it all in stride and gives us what we want in a precise way that made me content. After the last paragraph I was happy with how things turned out but I could have used an entire book between the last two chapters. This book shows the reconnection of soulmates and develops a story that was always meant to be both in the past and in the present, and well beyond into the future! The writing was fabulous and the story was well written. Fans of Ace’s book will love this story, giving us a different view of what happened in the first book and a glimpse into the future that Iris and Ace have.

Wicked WhiteAfter his mother dies, rock star Ace White—lead singer of the red-hot band Wicked White—is done with the celebrity game. The phony people, the meaningless one-night stands: he doesn’t want any of it anymore. Quitting in the middle of a sold-out tour, Ace sets out to find some place—any place—where he can be alone.

Aspiring singer Iris Easton’s life has never been easy. First, her mother walked out on her when she was a kid. Now she’s buried in debt, weeks after losing her beloved grandmother. When a mysterious and sexy new guy moves in next door, Iris can’t help but be drawn to his soulful gaze. She can tell there’s something from his past haunting him—something he’s not telling her.

Just as Ace starts falling for Iris, the media go on a worldwide hunt to find the missing rocker. Will true love conquer all, or will the truth be the very thing that tears the couple apart?
