Lies & Lullabies
by Sarina Bowen
I read this book fast, skimming some parts, because I was simply dying to know how the story turned out. And it didn’t disappoint at all!!! Then I went back to the beginning so savor the story, every single yummy part. This author writes such hunky heroes, and in this case, she wrote a good guy. Jonas may have had issues, he may have been a little lost in previous years, but now he knows what he’s been missing and who he loves, and that’s Kira, his Sweetness girl.
Five years ago, they shared a wonderful summer. It was platonic, an exercise in control for Jonas, an exercise in trust for Kira. On the last night, Kira asked something out of Jonas, and ended up pregnant. But Jonas disappeared and she didn’t find out who he really was until eighteen months later. From a sweet and gorgeous man who made her trust in men and love again, she found out he’d omitted some information and turned out to be a famous rockstar.
Jonas came back to this bitty little town in Maine for two days of clearing his head. He needed to write music for a new album and he wanted to remember the happy days he’s spent here five years ago. He didn’t expect to find Kira in town, and get the surprise of his life!
I loved the story and loved the characters. Especially Adam and Ethan! These two were so cute! Jonas has the usual issues of a rockstar, utter loneliness in the midst of a crowd, mistrust in the sincerity of those around him, an emptiness that comes out of not having a special someone to give his life meaning. I didn’t connect as well to Kira because she was almost always a basket case. She was always stressing out about something, she had issues about Jonas’ fame, had issues of not being enough. She’d gone through a traumatic experience in her freshman year in college that causes her to have anxiety and panic attacks, so there was that too.
Their story was slow burning, slow to come to terms and trust, and subjected to super hot steamy sexy times. There was love, but there was work to adjust to each other. And there was a precious little girl who had no trouble at all adjusting to new people to love her! This story read fast because this author is brilliant keeping a tight story. Love it!
