Never Say Never is an emotional rollercoaster ride full of thrills, lots of fun, and a little sexy. It's a wonderfully fun mature young adult romance sure to ignite anyone's world a blaze.

Never is such a wonderfully flawed and realistic character brought to life in such an amazing way that makes it extremely easy to relate to her, to connect with her story, and to enjoy all of her minor flaws. She could be a drama princess with everything handed to her on a silver platter, but that's not at all who she is. She's incredibly determined to get what she wants on her own in her own way and she fights hard to make it happen. She isn't interested in hand-outs from her father. The boys in the band are just as amazing as Never is, too. Luke, Kyle, and Steve are a bit different, which gives them unique appeal of their own and lends depth to the band and story itself. The difference in their personalities, style, and friendship are what makes the band's dymanic such an enjoyable reading experience. Everyone gets their time to shine in Never Say Never and that's pretty amazing because it lends so much personality to the book itself.

The romance just sizzles and pops to life off the pages. It's ridiculously forbidden and sweet hot fun.

The feelings that Never is experiencing are all new to her and she can't decide whether to break her cardinal rule of not dating anyone in the band or just go for it with all she has. It's fascinating to watch her navigate through her own personal feelings. Yet here is the one guy who has literally tilted her whole world on its axis and has her practically dangling by a thread. So, what is a girl to do?
