Rachel Cross's debut novel, Rock Her, embraced me from the beginning. What an amazing job weaving the two main characters lives together in such a way that I was rooting from page one. There wasn't a slow moment in this book, which says a lot for a contemporary romance.Kate, the heroine, is such a strong, selfless woman - becoming a "parent" at an early age, taking care of her sister after her mom died. I could so relate to this character as I'm sure many women will. She's always thinking of others instead of herself to such a point that she ends up saving a surfer's life - putting her own life in danger.Luckily, she meets THE Alec Sawyer from this incident and the two lives intermingle in ways that neither of them expect. Alec, a past rock star and now attorney, is a little older, wiser and still a heartthrob. Despite being able to catch any woman he wants, innocent Kate catches his eye and they form a quick relationship that had my heart pitter-pattering and at times desiring to take a cold shower to "cool off."What I loved about these two the most was their genuine love for one another. Not once did I doubt it and the words and actions of the characters proved it to me. I didn't have to guess.Ms. Cross blew me out of the water with her debut novel. I look forward to reading more from this author.
