When two people connect, they can make beautiful music together. But what happens when music is the thing that tears them apart?
Evan James had it all. Drop-dead sexy, brilliantly talented musician, a skyrocketing career and his high school sweetheart by his side. When he’s offered a golden opportunity to go on tour, he never imagined she wouldn’t go with him. Without her, he found his dream meant nothing. Three years later, bereft and alone, Evan stops at an open mic night and spots someone sitting in the audience, the beautiful face of a woman he’d never forget...Maddy, his one true love.
Madison Grey had only ever loved one man. When Evan broke her heart she had no choice but to move on with her life, start a career of her own, and she even finds a new love. Still, thoughts of Evan were never put to rest. And on one fateful night, she unexpectedly hears him pour his heart out into a new song. A song about broken hearts, lost love, and second chances. A song about her.
With the help of their scheming friends, Maddy and Evan are thrown into each other’s lives once more. While learning to love and trust again, there is only one thing left on both of their minds... Is life better with or without you?
Evan James and Madison Grey had a perfect love story.
They were an item since they were in high school and all throughout in college.
His words had caught her, but it was his music that drove them apart.
Maddy had already moved on, she already had a boyfriend,
when all of a sudden, her ex boyfriend, the one who had crushed her heart came
inside a café where they were and sang her song. Evan was the only one she ever
loved, the only one who can make her inside turn into knots, and the man who
has the power to shatter her heart. And he did, now here he is – wanting her
back into his life with the subtle push from their friends.
Evan made a mistake when he left her. He knew that and
everyday he wished he didn’t do it. But he was high on his fame, and he thought
she loved him enough to go with the flow, but missed appointments, forgotten
phonecalls was enough to drive Maddie away from him. Still it took him by
surprise when he asked her to go on tour with him and she said no. Three years
later, on an open mic in one café – he spotted her sitting in the audience. And
this time, he would make it sure she’ll never get away from him.
This was their love story getting a second chance, and
indeed – it was much sweeter, much hotter now that they are back together
again. But, it all came crashing down one day when Maddy discovered something.
Will she give Evan the chance to explain? Or will she let him go for good?
I love Luke and Genna, especially this girl who is a
really great friend and is not afraid to call on your BS. She’s a big help in
putting some senses into Maddy and Evan to finally give their love a second chance.
The song was divine, the characters were pretty much
interesting starting from Evan down to Genna, who’s mouth gave me quite a
laugh, the pacing of the story was just great and never a drag – thank goodness.
Without You is a story about love and second chances. It’s a short sweet story
that can melt your hearts and make you want to fall in love, and perhaps give
old love a chance.
"Oh, Madison Grey. My
life has been so dark without you. You light up my soul like no one else has. No
song, no melody is the same without you. Give me the chance to be alive again."

When I'm not at home or work, you can probably catch me on the 15 freeway singing my heart out and dancing away in my car.
