I translated this slow rockstar romance and loved it. Vicki always knows how to convince the reader and how she must set the perfect scene. I just love this about her books.

I cant believe I'm sitting here reading "The End", I don't want it to end! After reading Cherry Beats and Dirty Rock you think to yourself, "how can she top these" but my god she has, amazing book, full of emotion, sadness, happiness, hate and love, you can feel the pain and the love, feel the story come alive every page you turn, forgetting to breathe.
Daisy grew up in Hope Cove with Danny until five years ago when he told her he was leaving to follow his dream, leaving her totally heartbroken, crushed and broken.
Move on five years and the Rockstar is back, hoping to win Daisy back, with his charm, the girl he never stopped loving since the day he left, but had he left it too long to return to reclaim what was his?
The story is perfect, every now and then you get flashbacks from Daisy mind from when they were younger, which was helping her realise that she didn't hate him but still loves him.
while you are reading this take a listen to the playlist that goes with it, just brilliant!
Congratulations Vicki on another fantastic Rock Romance, I can feel others coming from the other characters in the book I'll wait patiently (well as you know not so patiently). Loved, Loved, Loved it!

Loved it
Sometimes you have to set something free and then it comes back to you. This is a story about that. Daisy and Danny show us the food and the bad and how everything isn’t always as it seems. I love them and their story!

A gem of a book- a second chance Rocker romance that had my heart bursting for all things, Danny and Daisy.
Ms James is a talented storyteller who crafts stories that place you directly in the action and makes you mirror her characters feelings. She has batted another one out the park, with Ghost Note. It had everything; real characters, enticing visual descriptions, raw emotion and red hot passion.
Young love that is torn apart by life ambitions, Hope Cove is the perfect serene location that hosts the turbulent whirlwind of emotion when Dannny and Daisy meet again, after years apart. Pain and heartache of past memories haunt and torment, providing a gripping story that had me transfixed throughout.
Ghost Note is a true page turner, which I highly recommend.

After meeting Danny briefly in the previous book, I couldn't wait to read this.
After a 6 year relationship, Danny and Daisy were suddenly ripped apart 5 years ago when Danny left sleepy Hope Cove behind and went to chase his dreams.. but now he's back and Daisy doesn't know what to do about the boy who broke her heart.
I have to admit I was expecting it to be written from Danny's POV but I totally understand why it was from Daisy's. I did want to give Danny a piece of my mind to begin with, but then he claimed a piece of my heart instead and I wanted to do the same to Daisy!
I could tell these guys had never fallen out of love and just wanted the best for each other. And the chemistry between them in the dirtier scenes - off the charts!
I loved this right from the beginning and was absolutely stoked to discover Hope Cove is a real place - James made me want to jump right into the pages with her descriptive writing that just blended into the pages.
Another great book from Vicki James and a must read if you love a rock star romance!

They started dating at age 14. They grew up together and learned to love together. She wanted to stay in their small hometown and build a life with him. He wanted to create music and follow that dream wherever it took him. So he let her go at age 20. She was heartbroken and lived a shell of a life. When at age 25 his grandmother died, she braced for his return full of fire and anger. But that love was still there and she couldn’t stay mad forever.
This is the story of Danny and Daisy.
Opinion
This book is one hell of a ride. To have found what you believe to be your one true love at 14 is incredibly rare (though I do know one couple who did.) with the flashbacks worked so expertly into the story, you can see how great their love was. I love the story in the present as well. Still heartbroken after five years is a bit of a stretch for me but it worked. As the story evolves, you learn more about why he left and it made my animosity of him dissipate. Being able to see his reasoning helped the story progress effortlessly. It is an epic love story of everyday proportions, a situation we can all see ourselves in.
A big thanks to Bare Naked Words for providing me with an ARC of this book.

A consuming and passionate romance that had me sobbing, smiling, and giddy. Vicki James has done it again.
→ I’m a freaking mess right now after reading Ghost Note because of the way VJ is able to write a story that has me holding my throat—fearful to take breath in case I’ll miss something from this magical story.
→ Gut wrenching. I found myself crying quite often bc VJ can write so well. I wish more people read her stories. She didn't just write about romance, but also about passion.
⤷ The chemistry these two had?? I'd compare it to Tess & Presley from Cherry Beats.
→ VJ knows her fucking music. She writes her musicians so clearly that you get their passion for the music.
⤷The playlist??? Unparalleled.
→ While painful, the story makes sense. I can't explain too much without spoiling it, but VJ really made this a realistic second chance romance. It wasn't easy and concise. Daisy and Danny really had to work things out and understand who they were.
⤷ The whole reason we like this trope is bc it's FULL of angst, but it doesn't mean we have to like it. However, I lived for it. The story is real and raw.
→ This was epic. Two people who loved each other deeply, yet lost one another along the way. It's almost bittersweet bc it seems like it was necessary. Daisy needed to grow into herself and Danny needed to explore the world.
❝He was ready to pounce, and I was ready to fall backwards. As much as that war within me raged on, only one side was ever going to win tonight.
Sometimes you just had too charge into the carnage and pray for your survival.❞

─Danny followed his heart and it took him to the music, didn't mean he wasn't caught up in a past he couldn't let go of.
❝There's no adrenaline in safety. I wanted the scary stuff. I wanted to do things that would make my heart feel like it was about to fucking fly out my chest with nerves.❞
─Daisy has lived the last five years of her life haunted by the man that went after his dreams, yet left her behind.
❝The guitar was his addiction, yes, but he had always been mine. I was a young woman desperately in love, being crushed by a man I never thought would do this to me.❞
