Synopsis
I’d never met anyone quite like Mathias Wade.
He was brooding and arrogant, but I loved him anyway.
Together we were wild and uncontained—a hurricane raging.
Then I had to leave, and words were exchanged that could never be undone.
But now I was back, and Mathias better watch out, because this bitch wasn’t finished with him.
Game. Set. Match.
All is fair in love and war, right?
Mathias Wade, the lead
singer of Willow Creek, is used to getting everything he wants. Except for Remy
Parker—the one that got away. Childhood friends that grew into more, Remy was
the one constant in his life until she moved away. In anger, he lashed out and
broke the only girl he ever loved. With temptation around every corner Mathias
drowns his sorrow in women and alcohol. When the band returns to their hometown
for the holidays the last thing Mathias expects is to run into Remy—but she’s back,
and she’s not done with him.
Remy never forgot
Mathias or the pain he caused her. When she moves back to the place she grew up
to take care of her ailing grandma her heart is set on revenge. She’s
determined to make Mathias fall in love with her all over again—only this time
she’s going to break his heart.
But Mathias never
stopped loving Remy—and she soon discovers that her feelings haven’t
disappeared either.
Can two people too
stubborn for their own good overcome their own demons and find the love they
always deserved?

Never Too Late (Willow Creek Book 2)
By Micalea Smeltzer
We were introduced to bad boy rebellious rocker Mathias Wade when he's twin fell in love in the Willow Creek debut novel Last To Know. He was the surly, chain smoking a$$hole with a broken heart. In his story, we meet the woman who got away, Remy. She a tough, hard as nails chick saddled with coming back to their hometown to take care of her grandma. She has never stopped loving Mathias, but was overcome with grief cause of losing him and so much more. Coming home, she decides to seduce Mathias and break his heart in return, but who will end up broken in the end??
This is a great followup for the Willow Creek Series and definitely takes a dive from YA/ Clean NA to New Adult with some steamier scenes. Mathias is a foul mouth jerk, and Remy is his female counter part. I love the character arcs in this, because in the beginning I hated Mathias, but at the end I was in love with him. Remy is a great female character, though she felt slightly weak in the end, I thought she would have handled the twist differently, but the way it was written makes sense. (Does that make sense? I don't want to give away the end) While I think I enjoyed Maddox's story more, this was a great read!!

Excerpt
I jumped up on the counter and he
moved to stand in front of me, bracing his hands beside my hips. I kicked my
legs against the cabinets like a little kid as he stared down at me intensely.
I wasn’t sure what he was looking for in my eyes, but he must have found it,
because he cupped my cheek and leaned in.
“This feels like when we were
younger,” he whispered. “Like no time at all has passed.” His words echoed my
previous thoughts.
I closed my eyes, feeling his
breath fan across my lips.
God, I’d missed him.
It didn’t seem possible to miss
someone I’d grown to hate, but I did.
I was pretty sure that when
someone like Mathias came into your life they were impossible to forget.
He was like the sun, burning so
bright that even once he was gone I was still blinded.
“Did you ever miss me?” I asked.
“Even once?” I held my breath, waiting for him to explode—because that was
Mathias. He could be nice one minute and an asshole the next. I wouldn’t put it
past him to kick me out for my question.
Instead he surprised me by leaning in impossibly
closer and nuzzling my neck. “Always.”

Last to Know (Willow Creek Book 1) by Micalea Smeltzer
What a sweet, cute, fun introduction to a series. Last to Know is a breath of fresh air to everyone obsessed with Rockstar boyfriend books. (Yes, this includes me) It should be noted this is definitely more on the YA/Clean NA end of the spectrum, but that doesn't make Maddox any less yummy!!
Emma is 17 year old dreading her last summer before senior year. She prefers being holed up in her room with her nose in a book then facing the real world. That is until her best friend dumps her at fair one day and she has a chance meeting with Maddox. They have an instant connection. Maddox opens up Emma and creates a thirst to live within her. But Maddox is hiding who is really is, and when Emma finds out, will she except who he is?
I mean Maddox is sexy, funny, cute and perfect. Aside from hiding who he is. Emma is his perfect match. I really enjoyed the growth she's experiences from the beginning to the end. Maddox really opens her up, making her a much better character. This is a great read and I cannot wait to read Never Too Late and gets some of Mathias story!!!
