What do you call a musician without a girlfriend? A: Homeless. That old joke gets a new twist when the struggling musician is a woman who can't pay the rent and gets tossed into the street by her roommates. Another twist is the novel idea of a handsome young man who has the fortitude and willpower to wait for the wedding night.It doesn't take long for the usual tropes of the romance genre to come into play. Without delivering spoilers, I can only say that the plot has more holes than a golf course, but the narrative is so engaging, most readers won't mind.In spite of my barely willing suspension of disbelief, I kept turning pages (and skimming some too) becauseI actually cared to see how the story played out. And that's a tribute to the author, to be able to tell a predictable story in a way that keeps readers engaged.
