I was so excited and intrigued by this book; the blurb really had me intrigued, and as a Rockstar Romance fan, it sounded like everything i love to read. Unfortunately, it really just fell flat for me. My main issue was the character of Davis. Upon seeing him again for the first time in years, Campbell describes him as "having had work done to his face" and then later on says that the botox in his forehead doesn't allow him to close his eye properly when he winks at her. YIKES. This was not attractive to me in the slightest and started giving me Mickey Rourke vibes. I loved the premise of the characters being more mature, so why not let them age gracefully?
From this moment on i struggled to connect with Davis, and that was a real disappointment.
This is a pleasant enough second chance romance. When the two main characters do finally do the deed, the action is left to the imagination, because, sometimes that is more erotic than a blow-by-blow. In this case, it was a little too neat, but it worked.
The premise is that Campbell thinks she is joining the band to sleep with the lead singer. She doesnt' realize or even guess that the person that she knew 20 years ago, the band manager, who she hung out with when she was a groupie was really was who she should be interested in. The lead singer just loves 'em and leaves 'em, and she knows that, but still she thinks that is what she is supposed to do.
And she admits to that, that it is just body chemistry making her feel that way.
Although the ultimate mystery is telegraphed several times in the book, Campbell doesn't catch on until nearly the end. I made a note the second time the hint was given in the story. It made me frustrated that she couldn't see it too.
A generally good story. Amazing how many things Campbell forgot about, though.

I really was excited about this book solely on reading the synopsis. Older heroine getting back on her feet and ringing her true self again. However, in execution this story just dragged on and for there to be such a big deal about groupies and sexual escapades, the interaction between the main characters at that critical moment was a let down.
Thank you for the ARC to read and review.
