Review: SENTIMENTAL ROMANCE
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 9, 2014
First read for me by these two authors. Trace is a rapper and Taryn is a country star. They first meet at an awards ceremony. Trace wins the award that Taryn was hoping to get. They both are signed to the same record label Backlash. Trace has the knack of getting himself into trouble, women and booze are his downfall. So when the record label decide that he and Taryn will collaborate and record a song and video together to clean up his image, neither are pleased. They're as different as chalk and cheese. But somehow they are attracted to one another.While I enjoyed this I felt the characters were a bit too cliched, he's the bad boy, but not really. She's sweet, but not as sweet as you might think. Her manager is her mother and the villainess of the story. There's not too much to the plot, the H/h spend a lot of time texting, as their commitments keep them apart. But when they are together the chemistry is apparent. I liked Trace's character he was likeable, Taryn I also liked, except I just kept hoping she would get a backbone and tell her mother off. There's some angst, but I expected a grittier read maybe because he's a rapper with a bad reputation. But overall this was very sentimental, some might say a bit corny. A solid three stars.
