My Song for You is the second book in the Pushing Limits series but you don’t need to have read that book to enjoy this one. Each of the stories stands alone with no problem. When I saw this book available on NetGalley the blurb got my attention right away. Secret baby, check; former friends to lovers, check – these are two of my favorite romance tropes. Because I like reading series in order I decided to look for book 1, This One Moment, and maybe give it a try. It was on sale for 99 cents so I picked up a copy and read it before I read My Song for You. I’ve done a separate 3 star review for that story.Jared is the lead guitar player for Pushing Limits. When his friend with benefits (FWB) turned up pregnant a few years ago he was prepared to give it up and become a father. However he wasn’t given that chance when his FWB told him later that she had an abortion. From the books blurb we pretty much know that his FWB lied about the abortion but there’s a lot more to the story of how his FWB’s sister, Callie, came to be taking care of his son.

Callie has had a rough time of it the last few years. She has given up a lot to take care of baby Logan. When she bumps into her sister’s FWB, Jared she panics and doesn’t want him to find out the secret she’s been keeping. She also realizes that the crush she had on Jared when they were kids has never gone completely away.

I read a lot of New Adult stories and, much to my surprise, I really enjoy most of them. The proliferation of the “F” word doesn’t bother me; neither does the use of a lot of swearing. I’ve also enjoyed reading other “rock star” books so it’s hard for me to put my finger on why I didn’t love this one. I have to think that it must be the author’s style. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with her writing; just that I think it’s not really for me. I’m writing this review concurrent with writing one for This One Moment so I’m not basing my feelings on just this one book and some of my words from that review will be repeated.

I do have to say that I liked My Song for You more than I liked This One Moment. I don’t know if this is because I got used to the author’s writing style or if I just liked the story better; probably a bit of both. The cast of secondary characters seemed to be given a bit more attention in this book and that added to my enjoyment of the story.

While My Song for You held my attention more than This One Moment neither of them had my emotions involved too much. For me this is the surest sign that a book wasn’t a good fit for me. I’ve come to the conclusion that this series probably isn’t one that I’ll read more of. From what I see on the author’s website it looks like a total of 5 books are planned with the next one being I Need You Tonight which is about Mason Dell; readers who are enjoying this series should be happy about that.

Like I said in my review for This One Moment, I think my feelings about this series really points out that not all readers are going to like all authors, even if the writing is good.
