Publisher's summary

Kacey Dawson has always lived life on the edge - impulsively, sometimes recklessly. And now, as lead guitarist for a hot up-and-coming band, she is poised at the brink of fame and fortune. But she is torn between wanting to be a serious musician and the demons that lure her down the glittering but alcohol-soaked path of rock stardom. A wrecked concert in Las Vegas threatens to ruin her career entirely. She wakes up with the hangover from hell and no memory of the night before or how she ended up on her limo driver's couch....

Jonah Fletcher is running out of time. He knows his situation is hopeless, and he's vowed to make the most of the handful of months he has left to him. His plans include seeing the opening of his glass installation at a prestigious art gallery...they do not include falling in love with a wild, tempestuous rock musician who wound up passed out on his couch. Jonah sees that Kacey is on a path to self-destruction. He lets her crash with him for a few days to dry out and get her head on straight. But neither of them expects the deep connection they feel or how that connection can grow so fast from friendship into something more.

BEAUTIFUL!! AMAZING!! HEARTBREAKING!! LOVE STORY!!

I bought Full Tilt based off the high number of five star reviews on Amazon, and WOW what a powerful love story that takes the listener on a heartbreaking journey. I smiled, I hoped, and I cried..... oh, how I cried! I loved listening to Kacey's and Jonah's story. They spent their thousands of moments loving each other to the fullest.

I'm happy I took this journey, even if the destination broke my heart. It's a beautiful well written story with excellent character development. I'm invested in the characters, and look forward to the next audio All In!

The narration was AWESOME! Both Caitlin, and Nelson did an amazing job delivering on all the emotions throughout the story. I felt them all! Kudos!

FIVE amazing stars! Well worth a credit, or sale!

Where does Full Tilt rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was an emotional journey that I'm so glad I took. I loved everything about this story.

Jonah. His courage in the face of heart wrenching tragedy was awe inspiring.

They were fantastic.

WOW is the only thing i can say between tears.

Would you listen to Full Tilt again? Why?

the neration was amazing, the story was amazing the whole experience was so good i took a day off work to finish listening

Beautiful, realistic, and memorable

I can honestly say that the way this book made me feel at the end was something I have never quite felt before after finishing a great book...in a good way, but also very emotional and heartbreaking. I keep trying to think of a better descriptive word than 'heartbreaking', but that is genuinely the best way to describe this story. Calamitous, maybe, but ironically in the best way.

The characters were beautifully written and they pulled you in and kept you hoping, against the odds, that there would be a happy fairy tale ending. I thoroughly enjoyed the realism from the author and the way she was able to keep the story entertaining while still leaving in the pain, angst, and grief that we all know happens in real life. Jonah was my favorite character and Nelson Hobbs was amazing narrating him and his emotions. I have listened to Caitlin Kelly's narration before in "The Odds of Loving Grover Cleveland" and she is always fantastic and has one of the most pleasant voices I've ever heard.

If you are wondering whether or not to read this one, I say go for it! Just be prepared to deal with some unforgiving real-life heart wrenching emotions to come along with it. I just began the 2nd book (All In) and I'm curious to see how it all works out. What a great author and what an amazing and emotion-triggering story.

Love is simply amazing!

this just blew me away. the intensity of their love story made it difficult to accept the obvious end. Painfully beautiful. I loved it.
