Away From the Spotlight by Tamara CarlisleShannon Sutherland and her friend Rachael had gone out after work to the brit bar where she had met Will.Will MacKenzie knew the band and they were allowed backstage before the concert.She was studying to be a lawyer, attended college for a few more months, along with a 3 day job a week at the law firm, then hopes to study and take the bar exam and travel in Europe for the summer.Although there are other people in the book it's easy to keep them straight as to who they are. When the conversation turns to what Will does for work everybody changes the subject so Shannon is in the dark still.The chapters fly by describing in detail her classes, her day dreams and the time spent with Will.The descriptions of the rooms and furniture and surroundings make me picture the area in my mind as I did fly into LAX and spend some time in the area before driving north.She and he both think the relationship won't work for the long haul. Their lives are just so different.Just about half way through and I'm missing the normal things in a book, the sex and romance mostly. They talk of hand holding and hugging and having sex all night long but it's not even but one line stating they had sex.A lot to digest as the book is becoming boring to me, about their everyday lives he with his promo tour and her with bar exam prep.For 480+ pages more needs to be talked about and physically shown what is being done.The men at the law firm spice things up a bit but it's not been enough yet...
