4.5 Jimmy loving Stars!!! 
 Finally Jimmy's story. Jimmy has always intrigued me. I have never been sure what's behind that complex man. Now finally we get to see the layers beneath him, to find such a warm heart but hidden under armor so he doesn't get hurt again. 
 Jimmy has had a bit of a shit life. He has shit parents. But thankfully he has his brother and the band. Sadly though for Jimmy to cope he turned to drugs and alcohol. To the point that his addiction was going to break up the band. With the band being the only thing he needs and wants he gets clean. Unfortunately he has burnt enough bridges that the management and label don't believe that he will stay out of trouble. 
 Enter Lena. After the band stumbles across Lena they feel she's the best solution to babysit Jimmy. After just being fired and her not wanting to be around her family she jumps at the chance for this new gig even though she's under qualified. 
 Lena moves in with Jimmy and becomes immersed in his life but still is a stranger to him. That doesn't mean she hasn't developed feelings for him though. It's not until Jimmy is on the verge when the bands suffers a huge loss does the bridge get open between these two. 
 "You can't affect what people think, Lena. They wanna think the worst, they will. I'm not wasting energy trying to make everyone happy. I have enough on my hands just keeping my own shit together." 
 Now that Lena realizes that she has feelings for Jimmy she tries to step back and find a replacement for her. But Jimmy's having nothing to do with this plan as he wants Lena there and he doesn't deal with change well. Finally getting the truth out of Lena, Jimmy comes up with a plan for her to get over her feelings. His plan is for her to go out on dates and meet people. To have her own life. He even sets her up on dates, but he can't seem to let her go. 
 Poor Jimmy is so broken he doesn't even recognize good feelings. Jimmy fights these new emotions and tries to manipulate to get what he wants but it back fires on him. Not until his nasty piece of work, good for nothing mother resurfaces does the damn break between these two. 
 The band knows what Jimmy needs and what Jimmy wants, even though Jimmy hasn't truly realized it. Now they just have to convince Lena to tough it out until Jimmy gets his head out of his ass. But that's way harder than it looks. 
 "Are you insane? He'll lead me straight to hell." 
 "Perhaps. But he likes you, so I'm guessing he'll bring you back out safe and sound." 
 Finally Jimmy relents and has his way with Lena. 
 "We meed a rule about no funny shit or fighting during sex." 
 Then his douche self resurfaces causing Lens's final straw to break. He breaks her so much she's forced to deal with her past when that is the last place she wants to be. 
 "Don't hate me, Lena," he whispered. "You want to be mad at me when I do dumb things, that's fine. But don't ever hate me. I couldn't take that, not from you." 
 Now that Jimmy has realized how badly he fucked up he has major groveling to win his heart back. 
 "I can't stand not having you there, not knowing what you're thinking, what you're doing, not being able to tell you things and share them with you. It's just ... nothing's the same. I hate waking up without you and I worry constantly that you're okay, that you've got everything you need. Look, the truth is, I'm all about you, Lena. You're my best friend. You're my girl." 
 Gah! I loved Jimmy and all his broken ways. Jimmy may be the front man but looks can be deceiving. Thankfully Lena is able to break through and teach Jimmy some good in life that he gets to a place to accept love and happiness. Lena and Jimmy make the perfect couple. I effing LOVE this series and all the characters. Kylie Scott has hit pay dirt with this series. Worth the read for sure.
