#1 LAST TO KNOW
He was just a boy.
And I was just a girl.
But if that’s all there was to the story it wouldn’t be very interesting, would it?
Up and coming band Willow Creek is back in their hometown for the summer. For the drummer, Maddox Wade, this summer was meant for writing music and playing gigs.
Falling in love was not part of the plan.
One look at Emma Burke and those plans cease to matter.
Emma is quiet and guarded. She’s still hurt from her father walking out two years ago. She doesn’t want to trust Maddox, but with his dark hair, smoldering good looks, and infectious smile he’s impossible to resist.
Together Maddox and Emma embark on an unforgettable summer of adventures and first love.
Everything is perfect…or so Emma thinks.
There are things she doesn’t know, and when she finds out the truth it might shatter everything she’s built with Maddox.
No one said love was easy, and for Maddox and Emma it just might be impossible.
#2 NEVER TOO LATE
I’d never met anyone quite like Mathias Wade.
He was brooding and arrogant, but I loved him anyway.
Together we were wild and uncontained—a hurricane raging.
Then I had to leave, and words were exchanged that could never be undone.
But now I was back, and Mathias better watch out, because this bitch wasn’t finished with him.
Game. Set. Match.
All is fair in love and war, right?
Mathias Wade, the lead singer of Willow Creek, is used to getting everything he wants. Except for Remy Parker—the one that got away. Childhood friends that grew into more, Remy was the one constant in his life until she moved away. In anger, he lashed out and broke the only girl he ever loved. With temptation around every corner Mathias drowns his sorrow in women and alcohol. When the band returns to their hometown for the holidays the last thing Mathias expects is to run into Remy—but she’s back, and she’s not done with him.
Remy never forgot Mathias or the pain he caused her. When she moves back to the place she grew up to take care of her ailing grandma her heart is set on revenge. She’s determined to make Mathias fall in love with her all over again—only this time she’s going to break his heart.
But Mathias never stopped loving Remy—and she soon discovers that her feelings haven’t disappeared either.
Can two people too stubborn for their own good overcome their own demons and find the love they always deserved?
#3 IN YOUR HEART
I thought I had found love.
I thought I had found my forever.
I’d never been more wrong in all my life.
Sadie Westbrook’s seemingly perfect life comes to a screeching halt when she catches her fiancé in bed with another woman. Suddenly, everything she believed in is tested and there’s only one person she can turn to—the guy who has been by her side ever since their best friend’s fell in love and became inseparable.
Ezra Collins—the bassist for the band Willow Creek—has only ever had one weakness, and her name is Sadie. When he receives a frantic call he rushes to her aid, helping to pick up the pieces of her crumbling life—even if that means letting Sadie live with him.
The close proximity tests the limits of their friendship and as the lines between friends and lovers blur they’ll have to decide if falling in love with your best friend is worth the risk of losing them.
#4 TAKE A CHANCE
I had life all figured out.
Married with a baby on the way I stupidly believed that things were perfect.
But then the good guy I fell in love with turned out to not be as good as I thought.
I was left alone to pick up the pieces of my life and provide for my daughter.
And then I met him.
Hayes.
The bad boy that just might not be so bad.
Three years after her husband walked out on her Arden James is struggling to make ends meet as a single mom. Despite it all, she knows she’s better off with her ex out of the picture, and so is her daughter.
Josh Hayes—player, jokester, and very naughty boy—is the guitar player for the band Willow Creek. He’s used to living the fast life, but suddenly it doesn’t appeal to him anymore, and he has his sights set on the fiery Arden.
Despite their undeniable chemistry, Arden isn’t sure she wants to invite a man into her life that has never been in a committed relationship before. But Hayes is determined to prove to her that there’s more to him than meets the eye. He just needs Arden to take a chance.

Last To Know ~ Book 1
This is a great read, that I had trouble putting down so I
could go to bed. I love all the characters, yes even Mathias, and I can't wait
to start reading his book!
Emma is a quirky girl. She doesn't really care what others
think of her. She is different, but that's a great thing. She is a reader,
plays the piano, and loves her mom and her best friend, Sadie.
Sadie takes Emma , almost against her will, to the fair so
they can see the local group, Willow Creek, in concert. Emma has no clue who
they are, or their music. She decides to just read while Sadie goes. She can't
find Sadie after the concert is done. But who she does find, or rather, who
finds her, changes everything for her.
Maddox is the person who finds Emma and helps keep her
company, then takes her to her home after the concert. Oh and he is also the
drummer for Willow Creek. He is an amazing guy, and not your typical 19 year
old rockstar!
Watching these two characters fall in love is great. You
know it's real love and not just "high school" love. I hope that
makes sense to you. It's a slow, fun path these two take.
"Just so you know, I don't regret kissing you, and one
day you're going to ask me to and I'm going to kiss you until you forget who
you are."
These two tell each other about their lives and their pasts.
But Emma still doesn't know he is the drummer.
When she finds out about his secret, I wasn't sure how the
story would go. If Emma could forgive him or not. Her mom does give the best
advice though.
"Love is never easy, Emmie. In fact, it can be
impossible. But love is always worth fighting for - if it's the right kind of
love."
Even though this book is about two people in their late
teens, ti wasn't written that way. Both of these characters are wiser than
their years. This is definitely a series I will read more of.
Never too Late ~Book 2
This is the second book in the Willow Creek series. They
don't have to be read in order. But, I highly suggest that you do. You will
have a better idea about how Mathias is if you read Last to Know first. This is
a great series and I want the next book now. This book takes place a few years
after the Last to Know.
Remy Parker is wild, or that's how she comes across. She
dated Mathias in high school. They really did love each other in their own way.
She had to move away with her family. Mathias broke her heart with what he told
her that day in the parking lot.
She is now 23 and back in town. She knows she will run into
him at some point. She wants revenge. She wants to break him, like he broke
her.
For Mathias, Remy is the one that got away. And he regrets
it everyday.
We see Mathias change so much in this book. We get to see a
whole different side to him. I knew he wasn't the jerk he was in the first
book. I knew there was more to him.
Remy's plan falls apart. She still loves him. And he still
loves her.
"The thing about the heart is, once it's given itself
completely to someone it's theirs forever, no matter the circumstances."
But Remy is keeping a huge secret. Once it comes out, only
Hope can get them through it.
I love that both of these characters are flawed. I love them
both and I am hooked on this series. I can't wait for more. Have a few tissues
by you, because your eyes may leak a few times. I know mine did!
In Your Heart ~ Book 3
I absolutely love the boys of Willow Creek. I have loved
each of their stories so far and this one is no different. I love the whole
best friends to lovers’ storyline between these characters. This could be read
as a standalone, but you will miss out on the back stories, so I highly
recommend that you read them in order. You won’t be disappointed, I promise.
Sadie is best friends with Emma, and because of Emma’s
relationship with Maddox, Ezra and Sadie became best friends also. Sadie has
always had a crush on him, but never did anything about it. Sadie became
engaged and backed away from Ezra. But once she lands in jail, it’s Ezra she
calls.
Ezra is an awesome guy. He is the bassist for Willow Creek.
He doesn’t talk a lot, but when he does, you better listen. He is the quiet
type.
“For you, it was the right decision at the time. Life is a
series of choices, that we make, some of them are good, and some of them are
not, but everything always works out in the end. Things will be better now,
you’ll see.”
I love how Sadie propositioned him. They both want each
other but are too scared it will ruin their friendship. I can’t blame them for
being scared.
This is a great read. I’m ready for Hayes’ story now!
Take A Chance ~ Book 4
I think this is the BEST Willow Creek book! I couldn’t put
it down at all. I love all four of these guys, but Hayes is my favorite.
Hayes is the guitar player in Willow Creek. He was a player,
but when he met Arden and Mia, it all changed for him. They were it for him. He
just had to make Arden see it too. Which wasn’t easy, but he is persistent
that’s for sure. He didn’t give up. Most guys would have.
Arden is a single mom of an amazing little girl, Mia. She
has some major walls built up to protect both herself and Mia. I can’t blame
her, I think anyone that went through what she did, would have those same
walls.
Hayes crashed through all of them and knocked them
completely down. He is amazing with little Mia.
“It’s crazy, really, what you’ve done to me. Before you I
thought the way I was living my life was great. I thought I was happy, but that
couldn’t be further from the truth. I haven’t been in a committed
relationship…ever – because two months in high school doesn’t count. Then I met
you and suddenly I couldn’t stop thinking about you or wanting to be around
you. I wanted to see you smile and hear you laugh and for the first time in my
life it wasn’t about sex.”
I was so worried the last few chapters and a few tears of
relief may have leaked from my eyes. I couldn’t imagine going through that. I
had to go and give my little girl a huge hug!
What Hayes said to Mia in the epilogue may have had my eyes
leaking some also.
This is an awesome series. You need to read it. I would love
updates on all the couples. I’m sad this is the final book.
