Lithium Oasis by Carmel Rhodes
Rhodes sucks you in from the very first few pages! *Squeeze *Pulse* *Thump*
The prologue is so strong, powerful, and deep.
As you get pulled into the story, even more, you soon learn that this story is more than just about Javi Santos, the bass player for Lithium Springs, the Joker. He has more layers to him. He's not the person's who's painted on the tabloids and he's not exactly who he lets everyone see.
Javi has issues too.
He hides it well behind the mask, behind his jokes, behind being the bassist, behind all of the money and fame. He was the one out of the three who was still on the path of trying to, find himself.
Then there's the woman that came back into his life, Quinn Thayer. She's sweet, smart, red-headed girl, CT's cousin, and buried herself in her books. I did admire and love how she progressed and grew on her own, how she took control of certain situations, how she chooses herself, and what she thought was best Javi.
Especially when he didn't see that at first.
Quinn was the one who saw him and accepted every bit of who he really was. She was always open, willing, and honest with him. Even when it was tough.
And she helped him see himself for who he was.
I loved how we got to see the rest of the other couples! I loved seeing how much they've grown, have families, and all the fun times they got to share.
I'm also so glad to have invested myself into these books, into these characters! I love them so hard! She really wraps up the Lithium Series so amazingly well! Every time I read a story that Rhodes' has written, I'm always blown away by the way she tells a story. She evokes so many emotions and passion through her words! Always steamy, angsty, and real!
