Countdown to Christmas No 5 Drea and Justin
The title of this book, not to mention the cover, completely captured me. Then I read the first few pages and was hooked by Drea’s voice. I absolutely LOVE this book and I love Drea. I love how she sees the world and how passionate she is about music. Even though she’s convinced she’s different she’s so easy to relate.
And Justin definitely falls into the swoon-worthy category. A reformed bad-boy musician – there isn’t a surer way to my heart, except perhaps a reformed bad-boy welder – Justin is such a great character; strong, independent, trying hard to do the right thing and completely willing to accept Drea for who she is. I get swoony just thinking about him (I’m even willing to overlook the piercings).
Drea and Justin together are magic, they have conversations, they have fights, they learn to deal with each other and what makes the other tick. . .oh and of course they share some rather fabulous kisses.
So if I haven’t been clear enough I really do love this book. I’m so sad I haven’t seen it everywhere, so go buy it for Christmas or an end of year gift if Christmas is not your holiday.
I don'tknow why but i was hesitant to try this but after reading this post (and being a sucker for reformed-bad-boy musicians… seriously the mere concept is swoonworthy) i am convinced i have to read this… SOON. haha thanks for sharing Alexa!

THIS is the book I've had my sights set on from the start. It's funny how I've never bought a copy of it though. Or read it. :
