I loved the concept of this book - but it just didn't work for me. The main reason was that I just didn't see the chemistry between the main characters and I really felt like Violet was a total doormat. When we met her - Violet is working in a coffee shop/cafe/bar run by her really nasty boyfriend. The place is being run into the ground and it is clear that Violet's boyfriend is an abusive tool. Violet spends all of her time taking care of others - her sister, the patrons of the cafe, her boyfriend. She is a talented singer and song writer but won't sing in front of anyone but her niece and nephew.

Kai is a hotshot music producer whose crazy worklife is catching up to him. He bought a home in the country to try and avoid the craziness of London and his life - but the talent he works with just followed him along. He walks in to the cafe and hears Violet singing to herself - and wants to sign her - but also wants the peace the crappy cafe offers him.

That starts a spiral of planning and change for both of them.

Here's the thing - Violet and Kai spend very little time together on the pages of the book. Kai also wants Violet - but knows it won't work because he doesn't think his lifestyle will work for her. It seems to be a recipe for disaster all things considered. But - by the middle of the book - nothing had really happened to move things forward for them romantically, for Violet careerwise, or really anything that kept my interest. I coluld see where the book was going - but I just didn't love it. I feel like anything career wise for Violet would probably not turn out well for her emotionally or would turn her into a different person and I didn't feel like Kai was ever going to want to change his lifestyle to make real room for her. I felt like the celebrity status that was coming - was not a good thing for Violet and clearly wasn't a good thing for Kai.

Overall - I just didn't enjoy it enough to finish and so DNF 50% mark - when I was still waiting for something to happen.
