After a break up caused by her cheating boyfriend, Cara's friends take her to a party to help her get over her broken heart. One drink leads to another and Cara ends up flirting with a gorgeous stranger. And that's not all. Wanting to put her past boyfriend behind her, she has sex with him on the beach and leaves without giving him any way to get in touch with her. 
 When Cara returns to college, she knows it's going to be tough. Her best friends are dating men from the same fraternity as her ex, and her ex is under the delusion that he can have her back. Her whole life has changed, and she handles it pretty well. Then Jade takes her to a club to see a band perform, and her almost anonymous hookup on the beach isn't so anonymous anymore. He's the lead singer in the band they've gone to see. 
 Once they are together, Cara and Chase find that the attraction they felt for each other on that first night hasn't gone away, and in spite of his touring with the band, decide to try to make a go of a long distance relationship. Of course, there are complications, mainly from Cara's ex and a stalker-creep from another band, and some questions about Chase's feelings for his ex-girlfriend. . 
 There's more fun than drama here though. I loved how Cara finds her place on campus now that she's no longer dating a fraternity brother. I really like this series for the lightness of it all. The drama isnt too intense and things work out with a little bit of effort. My biggest complaint is that I didn't really feel that I got to know Chase all that well in this, since he's off touring for most of the book. 
 If you are looking for a relatively light, easy read with a little drama to spice it up, this might be for you.
