Getting Real was an okay read from new-to-me author, Ainslie Paton.

At the beginning I found it hard to get into the story, and it wasn't until the last half that I started to feel anything for the characters. The heroine more then lived up to her name as the 'Ice Queen' throughout the book. However, the hero Jake was an easy character to like and so was Rielle's brother Rand. I really enjoyed his romantic journey as a side story.

The ending was wrapped up too quickly for my taste and the pacing was very slow but if you like new adult, lovable heroes, feisty heroines with hard exteriors and music themed stories, you may want to give this one a try.
