The author has a handle on rockstars! I have read other titles by her and this was yet another one that does not disappoint. The characters bleed their hearts out on to the pages and I scooped up every word.

I just really couldn't get into Wicked White. I really wanted too but the characters kept annoying me. I found them really whiny and I didn't feel their connection it was mostly just lust talking and it wasn't interesting for me at all. I couldn't even finish the book.

(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

After his mother dies, rock star Ace White—lead singer of the red-hot band Wicked White—is done with the celebrity game. The phony people, the meaningless one-night stands: he doesn’t want any of it anymore. Quitting in the middle of a sold-out tour, Ace sets out to find some place—any place—where he can be alone.
Aspiring singer Iris Easton’s life has never been easy. First, her mother walked out on her when she was a kid. Now she’s buried in debt, weeks after losing her beloved grandmother. When a mysterious and sexy new guy moves in next door, Iris can’t help but be drawn to his soulful gaze. She can tell there’s something from his past haunting him—something he’s not telling her.
Just as Ace starts falling for Iris, the media go on a worldwide hunt to find the missing rocker. Will true love conquer all, or will the truth be the very thing that tears the couple apart?

Oh dear, whatever was I thinking. I kinda thought "Rock star goes into hiding, meets aspiring musician, get to know each other...fall in love, happily ever after."

Sadly, what I got was "Rock star goes into hiding, instantly falls in love with girl next door, quotes Shakespeare during sex, and no real plot happens..."

The convenience of them both having lost relatives recently AND shacking up next door to each other was almost as bad the lack of any real "conflict" in the story. They just discuss hiding away for ever. If it wasn't for a few disagreements and miscommunications (convenient ones as well), this book would have been a flat-line...
