A sweet and angsty love story between two people from different worlds - one, a rockstar and heartthrob of millions and the other, a young doctor who would go to any lengths to protect her family, even give up the one she loves.
Dayra Zameeni is hired by rockstar Anthony Castillo to join his band, while they are on tour, to keep watch over his ailing brother who is in need of constant medical attention. She accepts the offer as the money would help with supporting her family. What she doesn't expect is to fall in love with Anthony, who is nothing like what she imagined him to be.
The characters of Anthony and Dayra were very well- written and their siblings were also very endearing characters. It was refreshing to read about a Farsi household with their dialogues and mannerisms blending in with the story. But I think the author went overboard in trying to emphasise the Iranian theme. The phrases 'Iranian mom', 'Iranian daughter' has been used so often in the story that after a point it grated on my nerves.
Overall, a quick and enjoyable read. Thank you Netgalley and Entangled Publishing for providing a digital copy of the book. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

While the "falling in love with a rockstar" trope is not my favorite, this was well-written and kept me invested in the story. Reading about a Persian family was interesting and I liked how Darya and Anthony saw similarities in their cultures. I'm hoping this continues into a series.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
