This was a cute story. I say a solid 3-3.5 stars for me. I enjoyed reading it. It's a perfect "put you in a good mood book." This was not a hot and steamy rocker book; the physical relationship is implied, but not detailed in this story.Adrian (the shy guy) / Kent (the make-up covered arrogant rocker) has taken on the responsibility of guardian of his niece after her parents died in a car crash. Libby, the children's author, is broke and finds the perfect opportunity to earn some good money while still able to write her story by being a nanny for Adrian. A very slow relationship starts between these characters. Both wanting to make sure they were doing what's best for Kate.This is a very light read, most "issues" that arise are anticlimactic and quickly solved. Each character has their own personalities, although some were not so realistic and definitely not stereotypical. Our rocker was not a parting womanizer. He was a Texas boy, although some of the dialogue was not very "Texan" or American for that matter; I had to take a double take on some of the wording but it didn't take away from the story. Libby was cute, although one broken heart made her put up her guard. I never really got a feel for why her heart was broken in the first place, never heard anything about the ex that should have made her fall in love in the first place.I liked the story and found it a nice change from the hardcore bad boy rocker novels that are out.*ARC copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
