I'm not sure WHAT I was expecting, but it wasn't that I was going to finish this book in one sitting under 4 hours. I'm not sure how I came across this book yesterday, but it's one of the free ebooks you can buy from Kindle so I said - lets try it!
The story? Haley is a college student who: one, loves music and two, is a major techy. She needs to find a job so that she can continue in her program and ends up going on tour with one of her idols - Jax. He's kind of a dick, one of those rockstar vibes who doesn't take anyone's shit. But they end up connecting there's a lot more to both of them.
I definitely loved the slow burn of this book but was SO mad when I finished because now I have to read the second one to see what ends up happening. Granted, those are the best endings - the ones that keep you on your toes! But it felt so abrupt and I was like wait.... that's it?!

[3.5 Stars] I liked this book a lot! I enjoyed the characters and the setting, but I would have preferred the story to be told in one book rather than split up. However, I’ll be reading the next book to finish the story.
Three and a half stars.
Haley Telfer needs an internship stat or she will lose her place on her college course. She has the usual tragic backstory, single mom killed in a car crash, lost her college scholarships as a result (isn't there a family tragedy clause in those things?), never knew her father yadda, yadda. Then, after she thinks she has bombed a job interview with Wicked Records, she gets told she's got the job. Then, as luck would have it, on her first day, actually on her way to her induction, she meets her idol, the legend that is Jax Jamieson, unfortunately her attempts to help the guy in a recording studio with some IT issues lead to her accidently assaulting her idol. Nevertheless somehow she gets promoted to back up to the sound engineer on Jax's tour, without his consent.
This was an enjoyable, yet predictable YA/NA nerd meets rock star romance. Jax hates being a rock star and has lost his mojo, he's counting down the days until he can hang up his guitar and spend time with his family. Haley is a little beam of Pollyanna sunshine that just can't help making friends with everyone and fixing things, she's also a talented musician and skilled at all things technical. Heck she's even written an app to 'fix' music to make it more appealing to the listener.
I have given up on 99% of YA/NA novels because of the angst and the cliches but this had sufficient plots woven into the (relatively short) novel to keep me interested. Warning, this is only part one (of three) so there is no resolution of the Jax/Haley dynamic.

If you’re looking for a slow burn then this is the book for you!
WARNING: This book is a serious slow burn and I do mean a SLOW burn. I feel as though that warning label is needed for this book.
I was initially going to give this book a pass because it’s so different from what I normally read but then I thought, what’s the harm in giving it a try and I’m glad I did.
Jax is a moody rock legend that wants to give it all up. Hayley is the nerdy, quiet girl who needs a job to pay for tuition. You have got to read the book to find out more. :)
I have fallen in love with Jax and Hayley’s story and it’s just the beginning.

The entire time I was reading this book I had an enthusiastic feeling. I constantly wanted to know what would happen next.
I really love how the author creates her characters. I have read 6 other books of her, and I think every character is different. Which, in my opinion is very impressive.
The writing style in this book is so good and I was so immersed in Haley and Jax' s life.
Now I'm quickly going to start reading bad girl, book two in this series.
If you love romances with slow burn and a lot of feelings, this book is definitely something you could try.

Eh. It was okay? I’m just always annoyed at books that get split when they really didn’t need to be.
