Title: Wrong for You (Before You, #3)

Alec Reed, the drummer for Chasing Ruin, has secrets…lots of them. He can’t even remember a day without them because it all started before he was born. He’s spent his life trying to outrun his past until he ends up back in the town where it all began.

Violet Emerson knows exactly where her life is going and exactly what she wants until Alec Reed walks into her life. With his dark tattoos and his sexier than sin eyes, Alec is everything her parents warned her about. She knows she should keep her distance, but something about him sucks her in and she can’t let go.

Will Alec’s secrets destroy everything?

Wrong for You is a third book in Before You series and can be read as a stand-alone.

Violet works at the Foundation that helps troubled teens. She spends most of her time there having no other employees because she has barely enough money to keep the Foundation open. Her every boyfriend dropped the "it's not you, it's me" bomb and left her.

Alec, the tattooed drummer in Chasing Ruin leaves L.A. and returns to his hometown. He fell asleep beside the Foundation parking lot and is awaken by a blond angel. He agrees to volunteer there and even will be living in Violet's basement for the month he'll spent there.

She doesn't know he's famous and he doesn't tell her, Alec likes the fact that she has no idea who he is and he can finally act like himself and not wear the "I'm-famous-I'm-the-drummer" mask. He can be himself.

Their chemistry is off charts and while they were trying to not indulge in each other, they can't help themselves. But they only have a limited time.

 I had a pleasant time reading. I was worried that because I skipped the first two books I'll be missing some crutial info but fortunately no. The other couple were barely there.

I enjoyed seeing how the relationship of those two slowly evolved into something that wasn't only about sexual chemistry. While the scenes were steamy I liked seeing how Alec finally opened himself up and let himself feel.

 Still, there were some things that weren't finished. Some were I think purposfully ignored because the author has no idea what to do with them. But it wasn't that disturbing, just something that were left stuck inside my head.

The ending seemed a bit cut-off but okay nevertheless. I'm intrigued about the fourth member of the band that doesn't have his own book yet - Marcus. I'll keep my eyes open for that one and hopefully it will be at least as good as this one.
