Where Waves Break is the fourth book in Julia Wolf's The Seasons Change rockstar romance series.  There was a lot to unpack in this Diego's tumultuous backstory and I was surprised to discover he had some sexy secret spice tucked away behind that grumpy exterior. I loved that Julia went there with Diego and then let that side of him come out to play. This was pretty steamy and I'm always here for that. Diego is older, wiser and much more cautious with his heart now, largely because he's a father to a young, precocious son who is the light of his life. He's got a passion for working on cars at his father's shop but can still be persuaded to step back into the role of rockstar drummer, given the right opportunity. He realizes he can't be a rockstar and a mechanic workng on rare cars without some help, so he enlists a nanny to come along and care for his four year old son. Lead singer of the band he fills in for comes to the rescue by offering up her highly qualified, younger sister June for the job. Sweet, sunny June Adler tries to look on the bright side of everything. She's escaping a life she hates - getting far away from a bad situation by taking a chance on this job. Her new boss was and still is her secret crush but this broody grump of a man has no idea he's even met her before. They clashed from the start, but Diego finds that he's drawn to June despite his reservations and being hurt in the past. He's a protective father who can't deny that June might be the best thing that ever happened to his boy, so this short nanny gig turns into a job for the summer. Let the fun begin as she moves away from all she knows and into the home of the man she could never forget, with a rambunctious little guy she's already begun falling for. Where Waves Break combines so well many of my favorite tropes in romance - rockstar, single parent, nanny, age gap, hidden issues, hurt/comfort, forced proximity - it doesn't get any better than that! A big highlight for me was sweet, hilarious Camilo - Diego's upbeat, smart as a whip and intuitive little show stealer of a son. He became a delightful addition to June's life, as did Diego's entire family. I cheered June on as she fought for control of her own destiny and those moments of brilliance as she goes for what will make her happiest in her life, career and in love. There were some forks their path and differences so big they might be dealbreakers, but it all comes together in the end. I also really loved how the author touched on grief, loss and addiction and what that means for everyone involved.
