I loved this book; this is romance at its best, this is that perfect ending we all read romance for, this is an absolutely beautifully told love story. ~ Slick, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
Fame, fortune, and stadiums full of screaming fans are right around the corner for the rock band at the heart of Stina Lindenblatt’s steamy, intense Pushing Limits series. But it’s an epic love affair that steals the show in this opening act.
When Nolan Kincaid skipped town to chase the music career of his dreams, he knew he wouldn’t miss the reminders of his broken family—he wasn’t so sure he could forget the girl he left behind. Now his band is touring nonstop, the recording sessions go all night, and the groupies are crazed. But when he hears that Hailey Wilkins is in trouble, he drops everything.
Hailey thought she’d missed her chance with Nolan. Five years ago, the moment she realized she loved him was the moment he decided to leave. Now, when a brutal assault lands her in the ICU, Nolan flies straight to her bedside, acting like nothing’s changed. What’s a rock star like him doing, canceling shows and risking his record deal, just to nurse an old friend back to health? And why should Hailey believe he’ll stay this time?
With her attacker still at large, Nolan’s ready to rise to the occasion. He knows he let Hailey down once before, but he’s ready to give her everything, heart and soul—and he’ll fight for the chance to prove it.
Review copy provided for an honest review
Sometimes I take a chance on a new to me author when I see a book that really interests me and 
I’m so glad I took a chance on Stina Lindenblatt’s This One Moment. This is a friends to lovers story that spans many years, years these two were together as friends, years when these two were apart after a devastating turn of events, and the incident that brought them back into each other’s lives. The one thing that was evident from the moment the hero receives a phone call until the very last scene was the absolute adoration and love these two have for one another. I loved this book; this is romance at its best, this is that perfect ending we all read romance for, this is an absolutely beautifully told love story.
For the last five years Nolan has tried to forget the life he left behind in Northbridge, Minnesota. It hasn’t been easy not when part of his heart remains there, but he’s done it out of self preservation and he’s made a name for himself as Tyler Erickson front man and guitarist for Pushing Limits a band on the edge of superstardom, but when he finds out his heart, his best friend, the girl he loves was beaten and in the hospital he knows he must go to her and make sure she is safe. He can’t lose anyone else even though he hasn’t seen or talked to her in five years.
From the minute Hailey wakes up from her coma and finds Nolan sitting next to her it was obvious this was going to be a contentious relationship, but it was also easy to see the complete trust and adoration they have for one another. Nolan has a lot to make up for, he knows this but he’s willing to do what it takes to make sure Hailey is safe and secure.
As they reacquaint themselves with the adults they’ve become and as they spend more time together it is impossible for them to deny the attraction they both feel. Nolan’s public life is crazy and there are expectations from his record company, fans that are rabid and life for them becomes very complicated.
I really loved watching these two grow closer as adults and both finally taking a chance on something more than friendship and while at times it seemed impossible for it to work and they were both concerned about getting their heart stomped on it was also easy to see that they were better when they were together.
Friendship, love, passion and a bit of suspense made This One Moment an absolutely amazing story and I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series.
