I really liked this book. A rockstar on his way down the tube with his drinking and he recognizes he's going to hit bottom soon enough, so he decided to pull out, clean himself up and find his muse again.
And it isn't going to happen in rehab. He has his manager find him a secluded place in the middle of nowhere which happens to be in Georgia, his manager books him there for 2 months, pays ahead, sends along a list of what are needs right down to the fancy coffee beans he uses and strict orders he is not be be disturbed. Sam doesn't want to be recognized either, so he cuts his long hair and off he goes to a small B&B in a tiny town. The B&B has 3 cottages and a few rooms in the main house. Faith owns the place, lives there with her 5 year old daughter Piper and is a widow. There's a tricky underlying story there with her dead husband, one that will pique your interest. They also live with their dog, who could pass for part Bear. I loved the dog.
Faith has some really great and supportive girlfriends who are married and either have kids or kids on the way. Sam starts to come out of his hibernation when he starts getting his mojo back which in part he attributes to watching Faith and Piper. No story is quite that simple and there's a twist that comes at you out of the blue, her dead husbands parents now want partial custody of Piper. Faith is beside herself, calls her friend who is an attorney and gets one. Meanwhile earlier in the story Sam gave her 15k to ensure his complete solitude. The other part that brings Sam out of his shell is he runs out of coffee. These two become fast and easy friends and when Piper goes to spend two weeks at Grandma and Grandpap's things take a more intimate turn and spark they did. Yowza!
Faith is a selfless and giving person, and so is Sam when it comes down to it. There are things that play out at the end that you don't really know which way they'll go. The end moves rather quickly so you have to pay attention, but not too fast where you're lost.
This was a great little read. I loved the way Sam sobered up on his own, put Faith and Piper before all else and how dedicated Faith was.
I really enjoyed reading this one.

**arc from NetGalley and Entangled in exchange for a fair review**

An ok read for me. It was a little unbelievable for me. Rock star romance set in a small town in Georgia.

Set in the small town of Dale, GA, Storming the Castle follows Sam, a famous musician, and Faith, who owns the Bed and Breakfast he stays at.

Sam needs to get away from everything and is hoping to find inspiration for his next album. His manager sets him up for the summer at Faith's B&B so he can get away from everything and hopefully avoid being recognized.

Faith has a small daughter, Piper, who is her whole world. She also has a great group of friends and family who care a lot for both her and Piper. I think her friends were one of my favorite parts of the book.

The author did a great job crafting Sam and Faith's relationship. Even though they were both attracted to each other early on it didn't feel like insta-love.

There are a few other issues that Faith encounters relating to her in-laws but I feel like they were well handled and fit within the overall story arc.

I wished there had been a little more to the resolution and ending, but overall I enjoyed the story.

A typical romantic book a bit shallow in some places you could guess the outcome after the first chapter.
A summer pool read.The characters could have been more developed instead of being sterotyped i.e. blond, sexy, musician depending on alchol to get through the day.
