Steal (Seaside Pictures, #3)

by Rachel Van Dyken

Steal, the follow-up standalone rockstar romance to the #1 New York Times Bestseller Keep…

It's easy to lose yourself in someone you love.

Easier to lose yourself in someone you hate…

I didn't think it could get any worse than having to babysit a bunch of spoiled musicians on set — keeping them out of trouble is a cakewalk compared to seeing my ex every day.

Seaside, Oregon isn't big enough for the both of us.

She hates me.

I loathe her.

The plan was simple — stay the hell away and make sure she gets to set on time.

What I didn't expect was to be faced with our past in front of an audience — and be forced to face it again.

It's torture.

The way she looks at me.

The way I try to look through her.

Words left unsaid.

The lingering aftermath still as powerful as ever.

I feed the chasm between us, for fear that she'll make me feel again — and steal the last shred of heart I have left.

We have everything but each other.

It's not enough.

Not when you've lost love.

And replaced it with the only thing left — hate.

Another great visit to Seaside!

This time we get an angsty second chance romance. Ang and Will had an epic romance and were planning on spending the rest of their lives together, but Angelica made bad choices. Those choices cost her Will, her career, and a piece of herself. I felt like she had put in the work, and atoned for her sins. I was rooting for her, and I loved the support she was getting from the rest of the Seaside crew. Will was going to be a lot harder to win over, because she had obliterated his heart.

In the meantime, we got to see how their relationship developed and crumbled, via movie scenes and their own memories. There were a lot of really painful moments, but Van Dyken kept it from getting too weepy by mixing in some fun with the whole crew.

And let's talk about the ending. It was wonderful! So. Much. Closure. If this is our last trip to Seaside, it was a rather good one.
