I have a fondness for rock band stories, so I'd read the previous book a while back. I might not have picked up this one, for some reason, the title was putting me off. But I actually really enjoyed reading this.I liked Jason as a character--the brother who stays behind when Dai and his cousin Jet run off to become rock stars and live out their dreams. Jason is a high-powered lawyer, totally focused on business, extremely good at what he does, always in control and serious.Jet is a drummer in a famous rock band, wild and often getting into trouble, but was raised to go into business, so he still makes sure the band's business is taken care of.They don't seem like much of a match, but I like the whole opposites attract thing.There is some suspense and danger as various parties fight over business. It was a good frame for the romance, as was the whole business with dealing with various dysfunctional families.And I DID like it that Jet didn't go and do anything silly when threatened. I hate that "oh, I must do something stupid on my own because I can't let anything bad happen to my friends/lover" thing.Almost for that alone, I liked this book!But really it was a nice balance of business/law, rock'n'roll, crazy families, suspense/danger/organized crime, and romance.
