I Don't Want You by V. McFarlane

I received an ARC for an exchange for honest review.

I Don't Want You is a debut novel by V. McFarlane. This second-change, enemies-to-lovers book is going to keep you on it's hold. 

Violet loves to write songs for local bands. She doesn't seek for fame and money, she just wants to write music. She doesn't believe in fate or destiny or love that's written on stars. She believes that you need to work for your happiness. I think she might be right. I definitely believe in fate, but that's not all, you still need to do work if you want to reach your goals. So, you go girl! 

Jared is aspiring musician. He has a good heart and I think that he believes in a love at first sight. At least it seems like it. Jared makes his own music, writes songs about true love, soulmates and all those wonderful things that most of us are hoping to find.

Jared and Violet meet, he actually almost hits her with his car. They're living in this small town, where everyone knows each other. Violet is perfectly happy in her hometown, she doesn't want to live. Jared wants it all, fame and fortune, until Violet comes along. They fell in love fast. I love the way how Jared calls Violet "her flower". Swoon. He is getting offered a contract to record an album. He is ready to throw it all away for her. And what does she say; I don't want you.

It's funny how sometimes four little words can make so big difference. It can make your once warm and open heart to cold and closed. It can make your home feel nothing like home. That's why you should always think what you're saying. There are reasons why Violet said what she did, but boy, neither one of them survived without scars.

After three long years they meet again. Jared is a big rock star. Violet works in her family's restaurant. They meet and sparks fly. Jared states multiple times that "I don't want to want her. But I do. I don't want to hurt her. But I do." They need to find a common ground, but what does it take to be happy again?

If you love rock star romance as much as I do; I'll absolutely recommend this book to you. If you love second-chance romance then I'll recommend this book to you.
