Blurb:

For years, bad boy Levi Milligan battled his inner demons.

Childhood trauma and a selfish, uncaring father left Levi vulnerable to forming relationships which eventually caused him shame.

His fans had no idea, all they saw was the rock star they idolized, living a life of excess.

When a narrow escape makes him realize he could only be one thoughtless mistake away from losing it all, Levi heads to rehab.

When he remerges back into his familiar rock music world some scars remain from his secret past.

Levi resolves to change his ways, but when past relationships threaten to overwhelm him, will his choices be better this time?

My 5* Review:

Until Levi is book two in K.L. Shandwick’s PulseTunes Rock Gods series about the rock band Screaming Shadows. This time we have the frontman and wayward rockstar Levi Milligan.

A slow burn romance as they become friends first before taking the step up to lovers and into a relationship. This is a long emotional journey with many ups and downs as secrets are reveal and the past won’t stay away. 

Levi is now living in Florida and is trying to settle into a new lifestyle after being in rehab. One day he is shocked to meet Trinnie Dixon, an old school friend. He remembers her as a nerdy and shy girl but in front of him is a beautiful woman. She is newly divorced, has a nine year old daughter and is trying to find her way around life as an independent single woman. 

As their friendship develops we find out the baggage they both have which affects their decisions on how far either of them want to go together. Trinnie’s sense of humour is great, she is very frank and their banter is entertaining especially when she puts him in his place. Levi is very confused over his feelings for Trinnie due to his previous experiences so it is a tentative start which then leads to lots of passion and desire. She has to protect …… and he has to go on tour. Throughout the story you can’t deny their feelings for each other even if they are dubious to fully commit.

“ Now don’t go getting ahead of yourself Levi Milligan.”

The author is very good at explaining everything associated with being in a band and going on tour. Each of the band members have their own unique way of coping with the stress involved and 

the highs and lows of performing. I loved the camaraderie between the lads and how they supported each other. They are just the type of friends Levi needs when all the good work he did in rehab is put to the test. Not only has Levi ex-girlfriends to deal with but the press won’t leave him alone. He is constantly fighting his demons and trying to deal with his troubled past. 

We get lots of Jude and Esther, as well as the other band members. I particularly liked Sadie, his snarky, blunt and closed off housekeeper. Their relationship was like walking on glass at times but they certainly understand each other and she is very loyal to him. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the rock stars from K.L’s other series, especially as we were treated to a bit of my favourite, the wonderful Gibson Barclay !! 

True love is never easy and I loved the way they supported each other through all that happens and had the back up from all his friends. Can they take a chance on the connection they both feel. Will Trinnie let Levi fully into her life and can he get his life under control and be the man she deserves. I wondered at first if she’d be able to cope with the troubled rockstar but she certainly surprised me and I was cheering at her no-nonsense attitude at the end. It is a long book but it progresses at a rate appropriate for this couple because their relationship is complex. Enjoy this well written story with all the angst and drama you expect from a great rockstar romance. This band is certainly giving the authors other bands a run for their money !!
