I received this book via Netgalley for an honest review.This story is exactly what I was expecting and even a little bit more. It’s not just a romance novel and that’s why I think it has that little something more that will stay with me for a while.If you’ve been following my reviews, you must know that I love stories with rock stars or musicians. I can’t resist and while I don’t enjoy reading all of them, I still need to read more and more. Ransom is not like the other ones out there.The fact that Daltrey and Daisy have been best friend since they were little kids gave something more to this story, enhancing more their chemistry. The author managed perfectly blending their past with the present, showing us how close they’ve been for years, how important they were for each other. In my opinion, it’s well-done.The secondary characters weren’t just relegated in the background. They truly had a role, a purpose in the plot, in the characterization of the main characters. In fact, I can’t wait to see them all in the next installment!Moreover, the author tackled some heavy subjects and it’s done with taste, making Daisy’s behavior very believable and rendered her all the more likable. I could relate to her easily.Daltrey’s POV chapters wren’t that numerous and sometimes I’d have loved them to reflect even more the intensity of his emotions, of his anger even. But still, it gave us a nice input and a new rhythm to the story.The plot was interesting with just a few twists, but still I wasn’t bored because the characters and their dynamic was too interesting to get me bored. I had a hard time putting the book down after the first few chapters that were a little too long or too slow to settle the whole situation.If there’s one thing I’d have loved to see way more in this book it’s the actual relationship between Daltrey and Daisy. I’m sure you’ll see what I mean once you’re finished with this book.I look forward to reading the next installment and I’m quite eager to know which bother will be under the spotlight. Cash maybe? ;)
