Rock Star's Heart by Kella Campbell

3.0

I was recently given an advanced copy of Rock Star’s Heart by Kella Campbell. I love a good Cinderella romance & this one was definitely interesting. I appreciated the realistic details the author included. It had a feel of authenticity that allowed a person like myself, that isn’t involved in the rock music scene at all, to feel like I was along for the ride - the good, the bad & the ugly. The story is centered around Crys, an endearing, wholesome, college student that gets an opportunity to be up close & personal with one of the most famous bands in the world. She finds herself falling fast & hard for one of the guys in the band & Rock Star’s Heart details the rollercoaster that ensues. It is no secret that the rock star life can have a very dark side & Crys oozes naïveté. It may be the fact that I’m a mom now, my young & reckless days long over, but I have to admit, I struggled with this one a bit. It was definitely interesting & the kind of book that you breeze through in a single day but it was tough seeing sweet Crys fall so hard & give so much when she was getting so little in return. I believe in looking beyond a person’s struggles to see their heart but as I read on, I couldn’t help but hope for the big turning point. Technically, there is a happy ending but even that was contingent upon this sweet hearted, innocent girl continuing to play savior & put up with the inevitable bad behavior to come. Again though, I’m coming from a perspective that is far removed not only from the characters in this book but from my own “college years” as well. Overall, I did enjoy the book & would love to see a sequel of some sort to see how things are working out!
