Review: Not the Rock Star story I'm used to.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 1, 2014
When I think about the typical Rock Star novel, I think alcoholic rocker who's a huge butt, completely domineering and treats his love interest like crap until she finally manages to change him. Not that this story didn't have some of that, but the rock star wasn't that big of a butt, and the girl wasn't as much of a sniveling 'groupie'.Holliday was independent, sarcastic, and knew how to hold her own against him. She didn't follow him all over on his tours, she had her own thing going on and stayed true to herself.Dalton, Jack, Johnny, Outlaw...whatever you want to call him, wasn't an alcoholic, or drug addict, he was over that stage by the time they met apparently. He made an effort to make time for Holliday and I didn't read about all the 'groupies' vying for his attention that I typically read about in rock star novels. No over the top crazy ex's trying to destroy him or Holliday, no unnecessary splits, (note I said 'unnecessary') and he seemed genuine. I adored his love for Holliday.Their relationship started fast, but I enjoyed it, and their relationship was believable. A few things bothered me that kept me from handing out that extra star to make it 5. As much as I love the steamy scenes, (this author is very good with them by the way) there were too many and it almost took away from the story. My other complaint, Dalton's perspective was only thrown in 3 times, and I don't know why it wasn't added more often. I wanted inside his head more. Everything else about the story I loved. For the price it was more than worth the read.
