Rebecca Adams has been reading books since before she could walk, or at least her mother was reading them to her until she was able to do it herself. Books are her life, her fantasy world derived from the millions of words she had read over the years and her reality suffered for it. School wasn't quite the place Sweet Valley High made it out to be, the night never revealed the mythical creatures from her Dracula obsession and of course there was never a guy who matched up to her ultimate book boyfriend, Brock McDougal. The main character from the Lyrics to my Heart series had it all and while she didn't think she set her standards too high, hitting twenty two had left her single, practically a virgin and the joke of all her friends. Then something magical happens and Brock enters her life as a living, breathing person – no longer something from her imagination, will Rebecca be sorely disappointed or find a happy ever after? -- Please be aware this story contains the following: adult themes, drug/alcohol references and a bad boy rocker you may just fall in love with too!
