GRR Reviews Only Ever You by Siobhan Davis

Ryder is the lead singer of the star rock group Torment, but he hid a secret in his past that he dare not let out. And he regretted letting the only good part of his life, a girl named Zeta, go, back at "juvie", but he felt he had to because he was being blackmailed. Years later, Zeta is back in his life, despite all their attempts to avoid each other. And this time, taking it as a sign, he will win her back... and tell her his secret... Even as the secrets drag him under...  // Zeta took blame for a crime she did not commit to escape her childhood, and the only good part was knowing Ryder will be waiting for her when she got out. But he didn't. So she avoided him, even as she kept tabs on him, for she's a reporter for a music publication. When they are forced to meet again, she can't help but to fall for him again... Until his destructive tendencies resurfaced... And to save him, she must learn his deepest and darkest secrets...

Angst-y, but some parts of the plot seem really really forced.

A. Ryder forced to give Zeta up upon leaving juvie... Why? Ryder is worthless at that point, barely putting roof over his head. To protect her, he'll move across the country, based on one threat? Seems a bit... hard to swallow.

B. The darkest hour was really dumb, and the bodyguards were not doing their jobs. Knowing such a threat is out there, and they fail to control the crowd? Meh.
