Il Tradimento - Lush 1 by Selena Laurence

4.0

Joss Jamison is the lead singer of the band Lush and seemingly has it all. Yet 12 months ago he made a huge mistake which may end up costing him everything he has worked so hard for.

Mel DiLorenzo has been asked to photograph the band on their upcoming tour thanks to her sister Tammy who works for the band and is involved with Walsh, one of the band members. But as happy as Mel is for this opportunity she is also struggling with something that happened at school which may cost her an award she has worked hard for.

As Mel and Joss begin the tour together the two have so much chemistry but will secrets be exposed and cost them both everything?

This was such a great book and introduction to the band Lush! I really enjoyed it and can't wait to read more.

I thought Joss was a great character who made a huge mistake and now was struggling with the aftermath and guilt that he felt. I loved that he really recognized that he made a mistake but had no idea at all in how to deal with it and the consequences. I really liked him and found his feelings towards Mel sincere.

Mel was another great character who made a hige mistake with her academic life and knew how difficult things could be. She never told anyone what was going on until she eventually told Joss who told her that he would help her out. Mel was trying to make it on her own but loved that Tammy was able to get her such an amazing job opportunity.

I loved how Mel and Joss's relationship slowly evolved into more and both cared so much about each other but Joss definitely still had something hanging over his head.

When everything exploded I was surprised by where it came from but then it explained so much about what had happened and certain attitudes. I felt terrible for everyone involved as there wasn't any explanations given but just that everything was done. I was proud of Joss for his statement but I really felt bad for him.

I liked the closeness that developed again between Mel and Tammy and how much the two of them relied on each other to get through everything.

I was proud of Joss for how he slowly contacted Mel and how he began to go back to the beginning and do what made him happy again. It took something huge for him to find his passion again.

I was so happy when Mel showed up and the two realized how much they loved each other still!

The end was awesome and I really hope Tammy is able to find what she is looking for!
