It's not like me to five 2 stars and write a review about a book. However, I just felt like I was reading The Mighty Storm by Samantha Towle. I kept reading and I finished the book. What I did was to look for the release dates of both books to know which one was first. I did this since I read TMS first but I wasn't sure if this one was first. They were released within a month a part and their similarities are huge. The plot is too similar (reporter going with the rock star to Europe to write a biography). I have to say I liked TMS more (except for the cheating thing) that this one.While I was reading I checked my kindle to see how much was left and I was about 76% and it was day 2 in the tour. I thought there weren't enough pages left to finish the story line. Everything was rushed and how things were resolved was a let down.SPOILER ALERT ------------We have this Alexa girl who is a reporter and gets "chosen" by Jax Brent to write his biography so the world gets to know the real him. He arrives late and as usual she is putty once she looks at him. She decides it's ok to go with his band and write about him. She totally thinks she will not surrender to his charms, too late BTW if the second night you met him you get drunk and made a move.Then we get to know the groupies, they all love Jax but they know he would never love them back so they settle for being around. The way the accept Alexa is far beyond believable, I mean, they don't even put of a fight for him. Things start to look good for Alexa and Jax when this Mary bitch gets to scene. My problems starts here, according to the way Alexa is described she is confident and down to earth, so why the hell does she want to be the second one in Jax's life?? Mary was Jax love interest for a while and he thinks he's responsible for her life. That's just stupid, a rock star who is going to place his happiness and desires in second place just to keep a woman happy. I get he feels responsible but how much is that going to last if she is just someone unwanted by everyone in the band.Moving on, Alexa gets great advice from her friend and mother and she starts to stand for her own, but she believes everything Jax says. That's too much, who is willing go be girl in the side? No one! So, she stands by him and she manages to get the truth known by Jax. The way Mary leaves their life was too easy and without drama (ok, maybe I'm just the one who wants to have drama in a book). They get. 2 month HEA and with rock starts I don't thinks 2 months is enough to get their life settle.I wouldn't read it again and it was a quick reading (I actually skimmed a lot).
