About this listen
From the New York Times best-selling author of Collide and Pulse comes a gritty new novel about a shattered young woman who unexpectedly falls for two best friends.
They were a storm I never saw coming, an unforeseen heartbreak on the edge of a dangerous cliff.
Amber Moretti's life changes in the span of minutes. An orphaned outsider, she is desperate to start fresh the moment she walks onto campus. In the time it takes to cross the university's dining hall, she meets two men who bring color, air, and light to her darkened world.
They became my addiction, each a needle to my next hit, my high.
Brock Cunningham's appeal is dizzying, a potent force Amber can't deny. A green-eyed smooth talker, he instantly attracts Amber. It doesn't take long for him to consume her every thought.
Ryder Ashcroft, a blue-eyed, tattooed, and pierced bad boy, turns Amber off immediately - that is until he kisses her, stealing a piece of her heart.
They were as opposite as fire and ice, yet I ached for them equally.
Never knowing she could be broken down in so many unexpected ways, Amber finds herself falling for both men.
Immoral? Maybe. I say undeniable. Uncontained.
But one devastating event changes everything - and Amber isn't sure she can recover from it.

Story
Macon Davis. My best friend’s brother. My tormentor. My least favorite person. Pothead. Delinquent. A careless, directionless loser. That’s what I used to believe, but I didn’t really know him. And when I finally saw him, it was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. We burned hot and fast. Passion. Anger. Love. Pain. We were reckless. Naive. We were doomed from the start. When I finally saw Macon Davis for who he was, we both went down in the flames.

Story
When a music audition at the world-renowned LaGuardia Arts High School brings together two thirteen-year-olds, unassuming Aurelia Ramirez Preston and confident Chadwick David, the serendipitous encounter becomes an unbreakable friendship. A friendship develops into an unyielding love—a love spanning decades and continents. With New York City as their playground, best friends Chad and Aurelia navigate the turbulence of adolescence. They blossom, and so does their love. An awkward first date turns into a night of intoxicating kisses and together, they lose their innocence.

For years, I've dreamt of what college life could bring, and while some things changed, there was always one constant. It didn't matter how wild I allowed my imagination to run, it always led me to the same place in the end. It led me to him. My future was clear, and he was it. Until suddenly, he wasn't. Now there's a new man in my life, one who isn't afraid to go after what he wants, and what he wants...is me.

It's not every day your dean is a 6'4" dark god with ocean-blue eyes and a dimple. Just looking at him makes my heart pound and my stomach flutter. He's intense, filthy, and forbidden. Not to mention, he's my sister's ex-boyfriend. If I were smart, I'd walk away. Lines are getting blurred. Boundaries are being tested. And rules are about to be broken.

The average song is three and a half minutes long; those three and a half minutes could lead to a slow blink, a glimpse of the past, or catapult the soul into heart-shattering nostalgia. At the height of my career, I had the life I wanted, the life I’d always envisioned. I’d found my tempo, my rhythm. Then I received a phone call that left me off key. You see, my favorite songs had a way of playing simultaneously. I was in love with one man’s beats and another’s lyrics. But when it came to the soundtrack of a life, how could anyone choose a favorite song?

They say revenge is a dish best served cold. I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me...now my heart was completely iced. I took her first kiss. She took the only thing I loved. I was poor. She was rich. The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast. Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project. Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much. Yeah, baby girl, say it. I’m your foster brother. There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life. She’s about to shell out some serious tears.

Sometimes you meet people who are out of this world, so you make them a part of yours. A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land. An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny. We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together. Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here. In New York. And he’s America’s music obsession.

I crawled into Ryan Jensen’s bed that first night by accident. I barely knew him. I thought it was his sister’s bed - her room. It took seconds to realize my error, and I should've left... I didn’t. I didn’t jump out. I didn’t get embarrassed. I relaxed. And that night, in that moment, it was the only thing I craved. I asked to stay. He let me, and I slept. The truth? I never wanted to leave his bed. If I could've stayed forever, I would have. He became my sanctuary. Because - four hours earlier - my twin sister killed herself.

It’s been said that you can’t love two men at the same time. You can’t split your heart, soul, and body in half. But I’m here to tell you, you can. Dylan Cole is like ice, sharp and unpredictable, the thunder inside a tumultuous storm. Smith Reid is warmth, soft and gentle, perfect like a sunny day. Both are mine. But I can have only one. There are two sides to this tale. I'm here to tell you mine. If you think this story is about a cheater, you couldn’t be more wrong.

The first time I laid eyes on Henley James, I was mesmerized. The chemistry between us was like nothing I’d ever felt. Impeccable suit, dimpled smile. He was charming and gorgeous, sophisticated and suave. He gave me his business card and asked me to call. His dating game was strong; I was gone from his first smile. I’d love to tell you our date was a raging success, but it wasn’t. Far from it. I decided right there on that day that Henley James and I would forever be mortal enemies; I would never think of him again.

The first night I met Gillian Taylor, she claimed she was a pilot. Then she claimed she worked for a "private airline." I knew right then and there that she was lying to me, and that sexy as hell or not, she was the type of woman I needed to avoid. Still, after a pleasurable one-night stand, I was certain we'd never see each other again. Until I saw her in an airport a few weeks later.... Until I realized that we were both assigned to work the same flight. She was the flight attendant. I was the pilot.

Unconventional love story to say the least!
I admire the prose Gail McHugh weaves putting her talent down on paper. This story is a love triangle ... but not your typical love triangle. There is darkness in all three characters including the heroine. Somehow McHugh manages to get you to sympathize with all three despite their short comings. Be warned .... there is a cliff hanger which I hope will be resolved in book 2 of the series. I had high hopes it would be a one story event, but not. This story is full of sex, unresolved feelings, friendship and love. Credit worthy, in my opinion.

there is never going to be part 2!!!
I am so passed! I just listened to 18 hours of this story, it took a good 3 hours before it even got interesting and then I got so wrapped up in these 3 people, with their love, their dangerous lives, all the while telling myself, it's ok if part 2 isn't on audible, I'll just read it. so excited to find out what happens, which boy she chooses (wanting it to be Ryder) to find out there is no part 2!! on audible or book form anywhere!! the author has been MIA since 2015, so no one will ever know how this story ends!! so so disappointing!! just saying I wish audible wouldn't even let us purchase a part 1 if we're never going to get part 2

Speechless
This story is definitely an experience, definitely unforgettable and definitely a cliff hanger at the end that will want you wanting more but book 2 still has yet to be released.
There is so much about this story but I don't know what to actually put down. If you are not consumed by it we must have read a different book. Gail McHugh did an amazing job with this.
This is dark, emotional, will take you on twist and turns, The characters are deeply flawed, best friends that are in love with an equally flawed female. Ryder and Brock are both alpha males that are consumed by Amber. Ryder's character is the one that I love the most, Ryder is the tattooed bad boy that steals your breath. The scene when they are all three together was nothing short of amazing the way it is written.
"I fell for the two loves of my life when I was nineteen. Yes, two, plural. More than one. Immoral? Maybe. I say undeniable".
"I need you a hundred times more than I need my next breath, a thousand times more than I need my next heartbeat, and a million times more that I need to wake up to the sun hanging in the sky."

Wow does not due this justice
This is a must read. Dark & twisted yet loving and hopeful. This book has it all. It's not what I expected but it went above and beyond my expectations. Gail's last series Collide was one of my favorites. This one is a bravely written story that she went to a few places that were darker and touched on some taboo things. Sooooooo well written and the detail is just amazing. I can't wait for book 2 on audio. I love her before now she has reacher superior status.

Loved every minute of this book, cliffhanger kills
This book had me listening non stop, every minute was better than the last, until I got to the end and realized it had a major cliffhanger, I swear I wanted to scream, pull my hair out and cry, the worst part is, I have tried to figure out what book 2 is and cannot find any information on the name or when book 2 will be out. it is so frustrating. I have to say I don't regret listening as the book was an awesome read but had I know there was a major cliffhanger I would have awaiting book 2 to be out before listening. I would highly recommend this book, it is an awesome read, Loved It. I am begging Audible to please release book 2 as soon as possible.

Oh.Dear.Lord!!!
Ok so I knew it was going to be a cliffhanger from the reviews, but OH MY GOSH! Really good story, writing, and narrator. I enjoyed the 3 POVs. At first I was Team Broc, all the way (maybe is was his southern drawl), but Ryder has started to win me over. When does book 2 come out!?!? 😫

The Ultimate Tragic Love Story
This story was intense and gut wrenching - a love triangle turned tragedy with three damaged characters. There was incredible tension twisted up with passion, desperation, attraction, obsession and an all-consuming love. The chemistry was off the charts hot. Then the drama throws the story into high gear until the very worst happens and everything turns dark. Nothing will prepare you for what happens. Ending in a cliffhanger, readers will want to move right onto the next book.
Narrator did a great job handling three main characters, the multitude of emotions and bringing every moment to life. This was both well-written and well-presented. The ultimate love triangle tragedy.
