Blu
My entire life is my music—and all the trappings that come with it. Sex, booze, and rock ’n’ roll is all I ever wanted. Touring the world as the lead singer of Balefire, I have it all. Until on hiatus, I meet the girl next door.
Ashleigh Baker is nothing like the groupies and celebrities who usually have all my attention. In her cute floppy hat with her knees stained with dirt, she spends her days creating a flowering show piece from her rented yard. She’s the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever met, and she acts like she doesn’t want a damn thing to do with me. But from the moment I laid eyes on her, she’s all I can think about.
Ashleigh
Growing up the only child of an Air Force Colonel, all I wanted was to stay in one place for more than a minute. When I score a pretty little house with a long-term lease, I just want to grow my flowers and my freelancing gig as a music reviewer. Then a loud Harley wakes me from a sound sleep and I discover my neighbor is Blu Connolly. Yeah, that Blu Connolly, lead singer for my favorite band Balefire. With his killer good looks and panty-melting voice, he’s a walking temptation to sin. Though I do my best to avoid him, it seems Blu has other ideas. He’s on a mission to wear me down, let him in, but what happens when he stops wanting to sing for me?
My Thoughts:
Blu enjoys the good times to be had but is he a bad boy at heart. Ashleigh has an interesting neighbor but is his mother someone you want to get to know better. Listening to music, playlist is included, just might be a good thing. Even though this book is part of a series, this book can stand on its own.
This is a story that shows what can happen when you try to have a relationship with someone famous. I did enjoy that for Ashleigh there wasn’t an instant connection. She’s a woman who is trying to be cautious – especially when it involves the heart. That is an incentive to turn the page. The other incentive is seeing what Blu may do next. He has a big personality but the author does a good job in not letting him overtake the story. She also gives us just enough of the other members of Blu’s band without making the story all about the music business.
Some scenes give you just enough and if you wish you can use your imagination to fill in the blanks. Our author has created an interesting group of men that even if this may be your first book of the series, you’ll want to see what the other members of the band have in store. Especially after you read the ending. This author is new for me and I was surprised to see how many books she has out. While waiting for her next book, I’ll have to go back and check out Play For Me. Then at some point, I’ll have to look into what else she has written.
