A fantastic story with amazing characters, and of course full of music. I love rockstar romances, and Asher York is one of the best ones I’ve seen portrayed.
This is who he is. Gentle, compassionate, benevolent. But also hungry, passionate, salacious.
And incredibly talented! None of the moody and cocky songwriter behavior, addicted and entitled. Character characterization in this book was fantastic, I knew who everyone was and how they acted. When Asher was playing gigs at a bar, he focused on a Latina girl who fascinated him. He kept looking at her but procrastinated on approaching her, and lost her to his younger brother Jesse. Isabella and Jesse dated for two years and broke up. Fast forward eight years, and all of a sudden, when Izzy goes on a bachelorette trip to Las Vegas, they find each other again.
From here on, we’re treated to a passionate story of forbidden love. Jesse and Asher are very close brothers, best friends. Asher is on the edge of finally getting his dream of making it into the music industry and Jesse is his manager. Isabella wants Asher, Asher wants Isabella, but they don’t want to betray Jesse, who is still hung on Izzy. Above all, Isabella doesn’t want to get between two brothers because as an adopted daughter, she values family above all else.
This seems like an impossible situation, where we have instances where Izzy and Asher are together and you feel the profound love they have for each other, then you have another scene where Jesse tells her he will always wait for her. With such perspectives, Izzy dithers and runs from conflict, and suffers heartbreak. This is one book where all the main characters hurt and lost a little, but there was also a lot of love running around. There are Izzy’s girlfriends, who are always there for her, and Asher’s and Jesse’s grandmother who is a hoot and a firecracker. She’s ninety going on eighteen. Everyone should have a grandmother like her!
The book was slow and dragged during the first half of the story. Izzy irritated me with all her dithering and doubting of herself. She kept running and crying. Also, the excessive wordiness in the narrative put me off in the beginning because it kept repeating the character’s feelings ad nauseam and I felt like we weren’t getting somewhere. Finally, the action starts with some lovely plot twist and finally, the pace picked up. The last 15% of the book was an outstanding read, full of suspense, surprises, and a third chance at love for our friends.
