Did you ever have a crush on a rock star growing up? Do you remember having posters, dreaming of meeting him? Did you ever write xxx + ooo in a puffy heart, or Mrs. Ooo xxx? Then you can appreciate how young Lacey obsessed about a young star she saw on television, Dante. Well Dante made it to Rock Star status and Lacey tracked his every move, what he ate, what he liked, didn’t like, and kept scrapbooks about her feelings and his life. She even wrote him letters. A little, okay a lot over the top, some of us have done it, but how many of us have had the chance to work with our idol, day and night, while he was on tour? For Lacey, being close to Dante became a test of her will not to throw herself at him as she played out each fantasy in her head, in vivid, sometimes hysterical detail! As well as a test to prove she can do the job she has been assigned.Dante plays the Bad Boy for the public, but in reality, he is warm, caring and there is just something about Lacey that draws him like a moth to a flame, but will he get burned? A horrible “reveal” of Lacey’s scrapbooks turns into a fabulous publicity stunt that lays bare their true feelings. The future shows them going their separate ways. Is that for the best?Rock It by Jennifer Chance is a fun, fresh read that is full of over-the-top hero worship and sizzling emotional and sexual steam. True, much of it is in Lacey’s head, but a girl can dream, can’t she? Ms. Chance has created two completely likable characters, the central focus to the world she has built. Her style is light, airy and never digs too far into the dark side. Lacey will make you laugh, cry and sometimes even creep you out, but Dante is one of the best heroes ever, a few flaws, but truly fan-worthy material.Kick back, relax and enjoy the ride this fun read will take you on! Don't over-analyze the power of love, just let it rock your world!I received an ARC edition from Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept in exchange for my honest review.
