Maid for the Rock Star by Demelza Carlton
2.0
Poor, struggling Audra works as a maid at a luxury resort. She meets arrogant rockstar Jay and there is supposedly heat between them from the get to go. I write supposedly because I just can't find it. The book is easy to read and there are no obvious faults in language or grammar, which is the main reason this book actually got 2 stars instead of 1.
The story, however, is a veritable roller coaster. I loved the beginning when Audra actually had a backbone and resisted. I saw a different scenario unfold in my mind where she would resist him and he would reform and in the end she would love him for him and not for his rock star status and he would be worthy of her. You know the whole cliche. If that is what you expect and want then turn around. Run, run as far and fast as possible. This is not the book for you, and frankly I don't know if it could be the book for any one.
From a promising start the story slid down the slope and became annoying and boring while Jay became even more of an self centered ass who only thought with his d**k and never fractured in other people's feelings and needs. Audra was schizophrenic who swiches between a girl with standards and integrity to a teenaged fan-girl with no thought about real consequences. It was exhausting.
The first half of the book was not all bad even if it was not good either, but it tumbled down the hill after that and there was no saving. A rabid police woman, a slutty co-worker, an oblivious boss and a borderline abusive family just makes matters worse. In the end I felt like the whole story was just a
When the choppy end finally (and I mean Finally) came rolling 'round it was not a satisfying one. At least not for me. It was too abrupt. As it turns out this is the first in a series, which I didn't know before reading and I would not call it a stand alone,
I finished the book, but barely. I will not recommend this to any one, because this was really not a book I could think about with a sense of enjoyment.

foreplay to the resulting (few) sex scenes. And how those came to be was beyond me since any self respecting woman would never let ANY man touch her after whitnessing him having sex with the hotel whore. And his excuse was laughable at best.When the choppy end finally (and I mean Finally) came rolling 'round it was not a satisfying one. At least not for me. It was too abrupt.

mainly because there is no real end and Jay is the main character in the following books, all featuring different female leads.
