Kristen Callihan is an underrated author and I've never seen one of her books on Bookstagram. If it weren't for Audible Plus, I'd never have heard of her. I have listened to two of her books now, "The Hook Up” which was a football romance and now “Idol,” a rockstar romance.
I enjoyed the story overall although some pieces felt a bit forced and the end was a bit cliched. I like the celebrity-commoner trope  so this worked for me. Killian and Libby both inspire each other and it was really sweet, had good burn and good plot.
Narration by Lynn Barrington and Jeremy York was good. It did take me a while to get past the she-does-he voice though.
