I’m supposed to be getting to know my newfound rock star father—
only I can’t take my eyes off his drummer. Oh boy.
On the worst day of my life, the father I never knew I had shows up.
And he’s a rock star.
I wish I could talk to my mom about her lies but she’s dead—hence the worst day of my life.
Now I’m in LA partying with rock stars, dodging my crazy stepmom, and avoiding my newfound father because…I don’t know why.
Everything is just so hard.
And heavy.
And awkward.
It doesn’t help that I can’t keep my eyes off his new drummer.
And drummer boy—well, man, definitely man—is looking back at me too.
Somehow I don’t think dear ol’ Dad is going to approve.
But I’m not sure I care.

 

Heartfelt and addictive! I was hooked on Izzy’s story right from the moment Beau walks up to her to introduce himself. She’s sweet, super smart and fun to be around. Hunter is a perfect match for her because he appreciates all that she is and loves her dearly for being herself. I loved getting to see them grow in the affection for each other and build a stable relationship even though they were keeping it on the downlow.

The weakness of the story was literally no background was given of how the band came to be in the spot it’s in other than a glossed over version of Gio being gone. I wanted more to remind me how it all went down in the prior book and a background of how they got together and gelled in the first place. Beau was a disappointment for sure … but he improves moderately by the end. I’m looking forward to more to come from the guys, but I hope the development to keep all aspects of the band at the reader’s fingertips is put into the series going forward.
