I'm a sucker for a Rockstar Romance and this one ticked all the right boxes for me.

I'm ashamed to say this is the first book by this author, and I had heard great things about the author, so I am kicking myself for taking so long to actually read her work. Now? Now I have to go and read everything she has written and I can't wait to see what's ahead!


Blair and Dean's story addictive! The chemistry between the two was kindle meltingly hot, but it wasn't just full of heat. It carried so much more. It gave me all the feels! From laughter, pain and sadness and right back to happy again. I was strung the hell out and it sure as hell was not what I was expecting when I started this book, but I am glad it wasn't. The author certainly knows how to keep your emotion on a rollercoaster. I love love love Rockstar romances, but I'm picky when it comes to them... And well this one is going into the Must-Read-Again pile.

Blair is strong, gorgeous and talented, she is fierce but in a way that you wouldn't expect. She comes off as shy but she is anything but when she steps on stage, a character I couldn't help but fall in love with. She has her dream and that's to be a singer. So when put to the test she proves to everyone that she has what it takes, she even proved that to herself... She's not one to bow down and give up and fights everything that comes her way in the process of becoming everything she has dreamed of... While she knew this journey wouldn't be easy, and it wasn't but she never expected to find the love of her life in the process...and then that's when things start to become crazy and complicated.

Dean is every woman's dream... Okay well, he was mine. He's hot, he's a charmer, he's swoony, a sweetheart... Seriously, I'm not big on sweethearts but when I find one like Dean? Yes, please!
He wasn't looking for someone, and he certainly wasn't looking for love, but when Blair comes into his life. The moment he lays eyes on her, he was a goner... Sounds romantic right? It is but when another character in the book tries to get between the two and jealousy and emotions start to come into play... It becomes a complicated mess, especially when it feels as though history has come back and wants to repeat itself.

will these two have a chance? or will with it all become too messy and complicated for them?

This book was awesome. Not only was it a kind of sweet romance, but it was also a little angsty, and full of chemistry that was on fire and off the charts. The sexual tension and push and pull with these characters was undeniably intense and had me flipping pages needing to know how this ends!

Highly recommend this book. I'm so glad I gave it a chance!

5 Stars!
