Life just keeps coming at you sometimes- all the time. You keep trying so hard to do the right thing, but keep failing. Add someone who wants nothing to do with you, someone you can't or shouldn't have- but you are sure you share a soul. Oh and don't forget the one who secretly wants to change everything about you but is so good at manipulating you just enough to keep coming back for more. Sprinkle in some mystery, karma, some super hot sexy time and you're not even half way through the week! But don't forget, you're not 21 anyone, your not even on the upside of 30!. Life is going to keep happening regardless if you plan every detail, fly by the seat of your pants or just go with the flow. The question you should ask yourself is, how tough do you have to be to take what you want and keep it? Blake Dalton would like to remind you, "You're gonna be tough as nails so you don't need a man to make you happy. You will want a man and he'll make you happy, but you won't need him to make you feel good. You won't settle, hun. Don't you dare settle for anything less than everything." Welcome to the 2nd soundtrack of my life. **Not a book for anyone sensitive to language, violence, or down and dirty sexy time *** I do not owe any rights to photos used in story. ***
