A review by heatheray
Il Tradimento - Lush 1 by Selena Laurence

5.0

A Lush Betrayal is just one example of the many reasons that Selena Laurence is at the top of my list of favorite authors and why I never ever miss reading a single book she writes. I say it every time but I have to say it again, she writes the most absolutely perfect romance books, and this rock star romance is absolute perfection!

Joss is the rock star lead that we all love in our romances. He is the reason that we turn to books like this. He is gorgeous, brooding, and he has a dark secret. The guilt that he has over this is killing him. It’s changing his relationship with his band mates, his friends. Each of those friends have their own demons they are carrying around. These are all beautifully woven in and around each other and it feels like their relationships are holding on by a thread.

In walks Mel. Mel is the perfect heroine, in my opinion. She is good, she is light, she is just an amazing person, and she is drawn to Joss, who is still brooding and letting his guilt eat away at him. Let the romance begin.

This isn’t just a story about their romance and whether or not they work things out together, this is the story of more than one betrayal, more than one hurt, a story about friendship and how fragile it can be. It is about the things we do to cope with our own hurt and anger and the repercussions of those actions.

I probably say this about every book by Selena, but I think this one is my favorite (until her next one releases). Every book is amazing, and each new book is even more than the one before. I cannot wait to read the next book, which I am hoping is Tammy and Walsh’s story.

Selena! Thank you so much for sending me an ARC of A Lush Betrayal. It was even more amazing than I thought it would be!
