GR's Summary:

Rocker Tucker White saved down-and-out waitress Cass Daniels from everyone in her life who was hurting her—except herself. In the much-anticipated follow-up to White Trash Beautiful, Teresa Mummert’s New York Times and USA Todaybestseller, Tucker and Cass are finally together, but does that mean they get their happy ending? 

Living on a tour bus with your boyfriend’s rock band is nothing like living in a trailer with your drug-addicted mother—except for the drama. After all the pain and grief that marked the beginning of Cass and Tucker’s relationship, they’re finally building a life together—just the two of them, his three bandmates, some groupies, and thousands of screaming fans. And not everyone is as happy about the couple’s reunion as they are. 

The last thing Cass wants to do is create friction within the band—especially when Damaged is on the brink of achieving the success Tucker has worked so hard for. She’s thrilled to finally be with a man who loves and protects her as much as he does. But how can she carve out a place for herself in this new rock star world . . . without being swallowed by the shadow of Tucker’s fame?

What Made Me Swoon:

" 'I love you so much, Cass.'  I pushed my lips against his, not wanting to spend another moment contemplating what would be best and just do what felt right in this moment.  I wanted nothing more than to make love to the man I fell in love with.  Tucker kicked off his shoes, never breaking our kiss as he held on to my waist and guided me backward toward the bed.  I slipped off my shoes, nearly tripping us both, and our lips pulled apart for us to laugh, but he quickly covered my mouth with his again.  I grabbed the bottom of his shirt and pulled it up, running my hands over the ridges of his stomach muscles.  He yanked his shirt over his head, not wanting to waste another second.  I smiled as the back of my knees made contact with the mattress.  I grabbed my shirt and pulled it over my head.  His gaze dropped to look over my body before he pressed his warm chest against mine.  His fingers slid around my back, finding the closure to my bra.  He rolled it between his fingers until it went slack.  His fingertips ran over my shoulders and he dragged them down my arms, leaving goose bumps in their wake as he pulled the straps from my shoulders.  I let my bra slide down over my hands and fall to the floor between us.  'You are so beautiful.'  His fingers tangled in my hair as he pulled my mouth to his, sucking my lower lip.  My hands explored his toned chest as he worked to rid us of the rest of our clothing.  He undid the closure of my jeans and shoved them over my hips.  I stepped out of them as I ran my nails down his stomach, his muscles flexing beneath my fingertips as his breath caught.  I loved that my touch gave him that reaction.  I unhooked his belt and undid his jeans as my tongue tangled with his, and he kicked his jeans off.  We lost our balance and fell back onto the bed.  Tucker laughed, brushing my hair from my face as he placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.  'We don't have to do this tonight.  I'll wait as long as it takes.  We have forever.'  I slid my hand in his messy hair and pulled his lips back to mine.  The playfulness was quickly replaced with hunger for each other.  He wanted to spend forever with me, and I didn't want to waste another second of it second-guessing myself."
