This short novella was a really quick read, but very cute and enjoyable.  As a side note that has nothing to do with the story line...Yes, this is an IR romance...I only add this bit of info because, for most of the book, I kept wondering if it truly was...I assume most readers are like me and base their choices from what is stated in the blurb and what we see on the cover...The lead heroine is described with curly red hair, very pretty, and with rimmed glasses, who is *light* which could describe several races.  The confirmation finally arrived at the end of the story.  When I read the author's notes after the ending, I understood her reason for making that slide of hand, and was actually glad she chose to do so--A good IR story doesn't always have to deal with depressing race issues...Back to the ebook...Del is the lead drummer in a well-known hard rock band and Evie is a photographer who covers that beat for her newspaper.  Despite never having a chance to meet in person, but silently flirting for over a year at several adrenaline-fueled concerts, the pair developed borderline obsessive crushes on each other.  When his band makes another stop in Evie's city, Del goes out of his way to ensure she gets a private meeting with him.  After that...fingers touch, sparks fly, the kisses get hot and heavy and, later on...clothes become unnecessary!I always love stories that add some new flavor to this genre, and I absolutely love stories with a backdrop in the music industry, so needless to say...I loved this romance.  Del was an absolute sweetheart when it came to trying to hook-up with Evie.  And Evie's giddiness and internal convo's with herself kept me on the edge of laughter throughout this charming tale.  A nice blend of humor, tenderness, and slippery love-making made this a winner.  However, I must say, the one downside was that it was, indeed, a short story.  Just when it was getting good, it ended and left me looking blank-faced, just like this -->  :-I Other than that, it was great...Enjoy!Grade B+.
