OK, so maybe I started this book with a few too many assumptions! I think Love of a Rockstar differs from other NA Contemporary Romances because this is not about a damaged couple falling instantly in love and facing heartache. In Nicole Simone's book the pain has already been inflicted and the male protagonist has to redeem himself.Marlene is vulnerable, but not weak. Her love for Luke has never faded and her memories of their relationship are still strong, even after his treatment of her. However, I think both Marlene and Luke's characters are overshadowed by Nil, their daughter. She is sweet but strong-willed and desperate to have her daddy in her life, yet meeting him is an emotional experience. It is Nil who makes this story so heart-warming and the need to see Marlene and Luke overcome their differences becomes even more essential because we know she depends on them.Yes, Love of a Rockstar has drama, angst, sex and a happy ending, but Nicole Simone also writes a story which is warm, charming and made me cry! Definitely add this to your TBR pile!I received this as a complimentary review copy, but this has had no influence on my opinion.
