3 stars
A newly graduated chef testing her chops on
a rock tour and a sweet bassist with a penchant for tattoos try to handle their
burgeoning relationship while on the road.
Deacon plays for a band on the cusp of stardom and his tall, muscular
physique as well as his sweet charm set him apart from other rock stars. Harper wants to prove her culinary talents
and does not want to get swept into a rock n’ roll romance. The book excels at describing life on a rock
tour. Deacon’s point of view provides a
realistic look into a band’s meteoric rise and the toll it takes. Harper’s sections are not as well formed,
however, and I found myself wanting to skim over her over-the-top and
repetitive descriptions of Deacon. This enjoyable
book would have been even better with an interesting heroine with a bit more to
say for herself. I received this book
through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
