{Release Day Review} All I Ever Wanted (The Heartthrob Series #1) by LuAnn McLane (@WriterLu @Pocket_Books)

From USA TODAY bestselling author LuAnn McLane comes the first in a brand new series featuring the sexy Heart brothers: formerly the members of the cult-phenomenon boy band Heartbeat, they’re all grown up and back together for one last reunion tour….
​
When Grady Heart, former lead singer of the cult-phenomenon boy band Heartbeat and eldest of the brothers, decides to bring the group back together for a highly anticipated reunion concert, he doesn’t expect to be met with so much resistance from his brothers. He also doesn’t expect them to hire his ex-girlfriend and ex-Heartbeat choreographer Arabella York to help the band rock some new dance moves.

Back in Heartbeat’s glory days the brooding bad boy fell hard for Arabella; the studious, stable dance teacher tamed Grady’s wild side but her lack of trust in him eventually drove them apart. Although their chemistry burns hotter than ever, Grady tries to keep his relationship with Arabella strictly professional this time around but in his heart, he might just still long to find out what could have been.

Filled with “McLane’s trademark devilish dialogue” (Publishers Weekly), All I Ever Wanted is a sexy rock ‘n’ roll romance, perfect for anyone who’s ever loved a boy band!

​Arabella York has tried in vain to forget the past.  Twelve years ago, she was a choreographer for the biggest boy band in the business – Heartbeat.  She was also totally and completely in love with Grady Heart.
 
When everything came crashing down, she was left all alone to try to pick up the pieces. She ran all the way across the country to Los Angeles and started all over.  Now everything that she’s worked so hard for is in jeopardy if she doesn’t take the offer to help Heartbeat with their reunion show.  That means going back to Florida and facing the one man who changed the course of her life forever.

Grady Heart was the bad boy of Heartbeat.  He could have any girl with just a crook of his finger but he only ever wanted Arabella.  He couldn’t believe that she could just leave without letting him explain.  She jumped to conclusions and didn’t care enough about him to even look back. He tried everything to exorcise her from his mind and failed spectacularly. He was resigned to existing without the other half of his soul.
 
On the verge of a huge comeback, Arabella’s the only one who can help the Heart brothers be the best that they can be and they will make it well worth her time.  Just a few weeks and one show was all she agreed to. But when the chemistry between her and Grady proves to be hotter than ever will the hurt of the past run to deep for them to take a chance on love again? 

​“That’s what loving someone is all about. Forgiveness is the hardest thing, but the most important thing.  Some people can’t apologize or even admit fault. You just did.  And I forgive you.  Saying ‘I’m sorry’ is every bit as important as saying ‘I love you.’ Sometimes even more. I might not ever completely understand why you fled, but the important thing is that you’re here now. We have a second chance, Arabella.  Do you want to take it?” 

​All I Ever Wanted is a quick sizzling shot of boy band brilliance!  It combines an angsty punch of heartbreak with a sweet twist of longing and hope.  The journey to redemption for Grady and Arabella is as emotional as it is satisfying and we are now certified fangirls…
