Excerpt

“So, Katarina, what’s up?” I ask as I sit opposite her. She looks at me then quickly away, focusing on something or someone in the crowd. “Dave says he’s going to make me into a star.” “Is that a bad thing?” “What if I suck?” I laugh, and her gaze comes back to me, sharp, questioning, I immediately stop. “A star? Hmm, you a singer or…?” “I sing, and I play the guitar, but my voice is better.” “What do you sing?” “Not bubblegum bullshit. I don’t want to be a one-hit wonder. I want them to be singing my songs in twenty years time.” This comes out in a rush with no small amount of conviction. “What’s wrong with that?” “Nothing, except that Dave is trying to team me up with a group of wannabes who want the quick road to stardom. I don’t know how to do anything else, for me, this is the long haul.” Laughter escapes me, and she scowls. I hold my hands up in surrender. “I’m sorry. I don’t mean to laugh, but how old are you?” “I’m fifteen,” Katarina replies flatly. Damn it. “Not one to sound like a grown up here, but you’ve got plenty of time.” “Really? Is that what you think? I’m fifteen, and all I do is sing. I suck at school; my mother practically gave me to Dave ‘cause even she knows this is my golden ticket. It’s this or I’m screwed.” Her eyes drop to the table top, and she looks defeated. The waitress comes over and places our plates down. This chick might be fifteen, but she’s like me, street savvy, and knows what she wants. “So don’t do bubblegum bullshit. Samuel doesn’t do it anyway. He’s old school. You’ll like singing with him. He brings out the best in people, trust me, I know.” “Trust you? Hell, I don’t even know you.” “I am Truthful, it’s why they call me Truth,” I say jokingly as I play on my name. “Right.” I grin at her and take a huge bite of my slice, she shrugs and does the same. “It’s good, isn’t it?” With her mouth full of food, she nods enthusiastically. We trade smiles and eat in silence. When I've finished my pizza, I pick up my drink and take a long sip of it. “Tell me about the band you’re putting together.” She sits up straighter and smiles. “Rock band, not pop. Real musicians who love the music, who breathe the music, who exist for the music.” “Sounds good.” “Do you sing or play?” “I play guitar, I’m good.” “Cocky?” “No, I told you—Truthful.” Katarina giggles and throws her napkin at me. “Cocky! Okay, Truth, how about we go back to the studio, and you play me something? Has to be original, and it better be good.” “I’m not the one auditioning, Samuel is.” “So, put your music where your mouth is and show me what you can do,” Katarina teases. “If you weren’t fifteen I’d show you what my mouth could do.” A blush creeps up her neck, and she looks away. I can’t believe what I’ve just said to her. It’s not like me to be so forward with a girl. I stand, hold out my hand and say, “Come on my songstress, let's go make some music.” She smiles and takes my hand in hers. “Yeah, lets.”

I love all of Kathleen's books and this was no exception. This her new series and I can't wait for books in it. I have always loved Truth. It was great to read about his personal story. He has been through so much and now has found true love with Rosie. Truth had a truly horrible childhood until he found the right foster family and someone to help with his dreams. I can't say enough about this book or how much I loved it. It is a must read and all of Kathleen's books. I need the next book now, either in this series or the Savage MC series. I don't care which one. lol.
