Face the Music by Andrea Robbins is a terrific read.I loved the combination of a successful reality TV show, Superstardom, intertwined in a romance plot. Made this a real page turner.Chris, is an up and coming heart throb, red hot favourite singing contestant with the media attention watching his every move, while Allison, is a teacher hired to tutor the younger contestants. Both are in the business, but worlds apart in their real life. Their immediate attraction had me absorbed while I stayed glued to the pages as their romance unfurled, twisted up with various love triangles and jealousy plots.This one is not a steamy romance, with sex scenes taking up most of the narrative. Thank goodness. There have been so many of those just lately, it's quickly becoming annoying to read. That's why I enjoyed this one so much. The formula was a return to clever narrative that created sexual tension and pulled on the heart strings.I love it when a romance makes me feel all tingly with anticipation, while you cheer for the couple to get it together.  Although I could have strangled Allison a couple of times, but her insecurities, were believable. Anyone entering into a relationship with a famous person would probably have reservations, no matter how hot the leading man is. Then again, Chris is pretty scorching.... LOL!!I definitely had that Ah... moment with this read. Anyone who loves a good romance will be hard pressed not to enjoy this one. Highly recommended.CJ Kindle book review.
