Synopsis:
What girl wouldn't want
to be surrounded by the sexy guys from the hottest teen rock sensation
in the country? 18-year-old Never "Neve" Knight, not only is surrounded
by the hottest boys to hit the music charts, but she is the band's lead
singer. As the band's lead singer and manager, Never formed and shaped
the band to where it is today, a band on the rise and on the brink of
being signed by a label. As one of the guys, she knew each of the band
members since they were all snot-nose ten-year-olds. While her boys were
the cutest guys and they would protect her like knights, she couldn't
date any one of them and ruin the chance at being signed with the record
label of her dreams.
That changes when one of the band members suddenly drops out of the band, and in walks Danny Blue, with his dreamy blue eyes, hot body, and British accent. Suddenly, Never's solid world has turned to mush, and her rule for not dating one of her band members is seriously challenged. Can she keep her head straight and get her band signed with a label without losing her heart?

Review:
I was pretty hesitant when I first started reading Never Say Never. I'm not into girl bands at all, but I really enjoyed Loving Summer by Gow and I love this cover, so I decided to give it a chance. By the second chapter I was completely into it.
Never is the daughter of a famous rock star, wanting to break into the business on her own merits, and despite her dad's disapproval. These two things are what made me like Never. Gow did a great job of making Never a relatable character even with her good looks, hot boyfriend, musical talent and uber rich family.
Never Say Never is not a YA book. It is a New Adult book, which really means it's YA with some mature content and slightly older characters. While the majority of the story could easily fit into the YA genre, Never's relationship with Danny Blue takes it into that new category. Danny is in his mid twenties and the type of relationship they develop goes beyond what would normally be in YA. It wasn't the sex as much as how Gow approached the sex scenes that for me made this for an older audience. There was definitely a more sensual nature to the scenes than I would expect in YA. It makes me wonder how Gow would be at writing straight genre romance.
Gow writes at a quick pace and it's hard to put down one of her books once you start, because with every turn of the page she keeps moving the story along. Overall, Never Say Never is a great read for older YA readers looking for a fun romance.
