What happens when a panty melting rapper and a country star princess meet? An explosive Collaboration! From the first pages of this book, Taryn and Trace will have you cheering for them!Trace is one of the biggest names in the music industry. People see him as the bad boy of music when in reality he's just a normal person dealing with a heartbreaking past. Taryn is a country singer and America’s sweetheart. Her mom controls every aspect of her life. The only thing she wants is to be able to control her own life and do things her way. When Taryn and Trace are brought together by their record label sparks fly instantly between them. They come from two different worlds, but share a strong connection right from the start.  After they wrap-up their duet and film an extremely sexy video, they both go their separate ways to start their tours. After a few weeks of texting and phone calls, a  friendship was born. Soon enough their friendship turns to more and they can’t deny that they have created a strong bond. When they see each other again their reunion is explosive. Their relationship is put to the test when the paparazzi and some secrets from the past come to haunt them. They will have ups and downs, but their bond is solid and they will fight side by side to overcome these obstacles and make their relationship work in this chaotic business.Collaboration was fast-paced, the characters pulled me in from the start and the writing style was great. I love it when my connection with the main characters is made in the first few pages. Taryn and Trace have an amazing chemistry and their collaboration turned into a friendship and slowly exploded into a beautiful relationship. Living in the public eye is difficult and even if they are surrounded by family and friends that care for them, they are confronted by people who are looking for a way to cause trouble in their lives.  Even if their worlds are drastically different, they both want the same things in life. They have found in each other a person that they can trust and love with no boundaries.Taryn and Trace are an awesome couple! Their story felt real and I could perfectly see every scene playing in my head just like in a movie. Taryn is sweet and adorable, but she has a sexy strong character too. Trace is confident and cocky, but behind that tough image hides a tender teddy bear with a heart of gold *Swoon* Don’t even get me started on what these two create when they are in the same room ... Eeeeep !!! Every touch, kiss, look they exchange is electrifying ! I got a few *Fan Self* moments and not only are they hot together, but they complement each other perfectly. I love it when a story wraps-up with an amazing Epilogue. And, this book sure did have one ! I applaud both these authors for writing a great standalone novel. Don’t get me wrong, I love reading series. But, from time to time I like to get lost into a standalone that catches my attention from the start and does not let me go until I turn the last page. This book had a little extra something that I absolutely loved: Music links. I clicked on every single link and enjoyed the music just like they did :)The supporting characters in this story are all great ! What an entertaining group of friends and family. I really hope that Gina, Taryn and Trace's friend, and Ryder, Taryn's guitarist, will each get their own book. The connection between Taryn and her dad was really beautiful and heartwarming compared to the cold relationship she had with her mom.My RatingI give, Collaboration, by Michelle Lynn & Nevaeh Lee 4 captivating, sensual, romantic, fantastic stars ! It was beautiful to see how two young people found the melody to each other’s hearts. I really hope these authors have future plans of working together again. I really enjoyed their work :)
