“I should have left him on my porch, called the police, and cleaned myself up while they hauled his ass away. But I couldn’t. Not all drunks are bad. Some are just lost.”
3⭐️ wasn’t bad read, just wasn’t hooked on them. story was okay, as for the couple they were little too rushed and i haven’t fel that connection between them. they have decent banter.
some parts were too cringey for my likings
“It’s been years since I’ve had a female berate me for such an extended period of time.”
“Oh, I bite, babe. But you’ll like it.” “I bite back, Kill, and you won’t like it.”
“I don’t know how long we stand there, looking at each other as if we’re strangers who happened upon each other on this beach.”
“We’re friends. I don’t know how it happened. I was all set to hate Killian, but he’s wormed his way under my skin with embarrassingly little effort.”
“I hum an acknowledgement but sorrow holds my tongue. Life has been so silent since my parents died. Too silent. I never really thought about how I turned my back on the simple joy of loving music, and how badly that has affected me.”
“Had I been there, I’d have wanted to give you comfort.”
“Fuck you, Killian.” “You know what? Fuck it. Here’s the truth: I wasn’t happy—until I met you.”
“I will never laugh at you,” he promises fiercely. “Ever. I’m your safe place, Libby. You’ve got to know that.”
“Killian pulls me close, tucking me under his chin. I feel the shape of him against my belly, but for once I don’t think of sex. He’s like an anchor, a solid wall between me and emptiness. His arms are strong, and he holds me tight.”
“A Channing Tatum maybe?” “You know, Magic Mike?” “Of all his movies, you pick that one? Shocker.” - libby is us. we are libby.

What I would have expected from a rock star romance but lighter and still good. I enjoyed it.

I was sucked in to this book from the very first chapter. I mean, famous-super-hot-rock-star ends up drunk on the grumpy-loner-sassy-woman’s front lawn and she wakes him up by spraying him with her water hose? Sign me the hell up.
It had 4.5-5 star potential, for sure. BUT, my biggest complaint is that the ending seemed rushed. I wanted more, and it felt like the angst at the end didn’t last long enough. REGARDLESS, it was a fantastic book and I truly loved it. I love a good rockstar romance, and this one did it for me!

I knew going in I wasn't going to like this. I really don't like rock band boy romances.
Killian is upset because his bandmate Jax tried to kill himself, he shows up drunk on Libby's lawn. Libby aka Liberty Bell is the daughter of rockstars herself but she was encouraged not to go pro because of the rough lifestyle. As she and Killian grow close she starts by featuring in his band and later going solo on her own, with Scottie as her manager. Kilian feels like he has to let her go, he doesn't want to hold her back, and Libby is too afraid to tell Killian her true feelings. Blah blah blah didn't care. They got together at the end and Jax is alive, if not totally mentally all better.

I really liked it but about 40% I grew a bit bored with it. I wound up dnf'ing this one and I will come back to it later when I'm in the mood for romance again. This is a me thing. Not a book thing. I've worn myself out reading a LOT of romance lately. So. I'll pick this up at a later date. 3 ✨

this was fine. i like a good rockstar romance but nothing revolutionary. i hate when couples have issues right at the end . i enjoyed it regardless though. 3.5/5

I spent half the book hating Jax and the other half thinking I can't wait to start his book
