Extended description

Cassidy Monarch had dreams—to sing, to be famous, to tour the world at the head of his own rock band. Then his parents were killed in a tragic accident, leaving him to raise his two siblings. Determined to hold on to what remained of his family, Cassidy settled into an ordinary life, his dreams of fame reduced to occasional nights of singing at karaoke dives. But his careful, ordinary life began to fray with his new job, and the beautiful, charming boss who reminds him of all the things he tried to stop wanting.

Malcolm Osborne is a classic rags to riches story, a foster child who wound up with the perfect family and more money than he knows what to do with. He's wealthy, beautiful, successful, and completely miserable. Then he hires a new worker for his office, a young, hard-working man with a sadness in his eyes that Malcolm aches to banish, hoping that in doing so he will be rid of his own loneliness as well.

I really adored this one. How unexpected and unfair life can be, how a young man has to become a whole other person because of a horrible accident, but how, in the end, the selfsame person can have his fortune turn for the better and he can once again be who he was supposed to be from the beginning.
I loved the dynamics of the relationship between Carlos, Antoine and Malcom and the one between Cassidy, Denny and Lindsay - they seemed so genuine and authentic and you could really feel how they loved each other.
It's definitely a story I will be reading again in the future.

I liked the idea of the bad boy gone good. Usually you read about just the opposite. I do like Cassidy's description of Malcolm the first time Malcolm and "Jonathan" meet... A scrapper :) The family dynamics of both guys is what makes the book a real keeper. I love the way Malcolm and his brothers snipe and bicker but stand by each other. And Cassidy's brother and sister are a treat... especially Lindsay. But it's clear how close they are when Denny calls Cassidy when things get too deep at a party. He knows his brother will be mad, but his brother will be THERE for him. Love the book, another good one from Megan.
