entertaining why choose romance. guitarist joins a band that needs a replacement for tour after the sudden loss of one of their members. right off the bat the band is not interested in having her join the tour, maybe their beds but.
if you want one that feels equally balanced, this may bother you some. FOR ME, it felt like one guy sort of got more attention/praise and one definitely got the short end of the stick, but also I do think maybe it was the author trying to show that all the relationships brought something different even though they were all one. I also had an instant favorite, so it may have been my bias as well 😂
the heroine has her own angst to deal with and then each hero has his own angst to contend with as well. I enjoyed this one, but something was sort of missing for me to truly invest in the characters and their love. also the last like 20% before the final 10% just felt like… really. Like I know we’d been building to that, but I also think I was hoping for something different than what we got. THAT SAID, it was still entertaining overall.
I’d recommend to anyone who enjoys a long slow building relationship but fast burning spicy bits in a why choose read. I read this with audio and thought the voice actors did an incredible job. I was entertained and the funny parts had great timing.
