Review: Good but it struggles as well

I really enjoyed this book but when I think too much about it there is a lot that needs work as well. However, the basic premise of recovering addict rocker meets completely sheltered young women escaping a patriarchal extreme religious sect is awesome enough to pull me though.Also, the characters are wonderful and believable. The romance is reasonable, passionate, and compelling.Therefore the heart of the book is good enough for me to live with the surrounding issues...you may not be able to do so.Issues:1. How easily the people Aylen was escaping found her.2. Why Carter didn't just call the damn police at some point way earlier?3. We get zero follow up after the main confrontation with the sect.4. How could Aylen not get her sister out. So, really the book just ended too soon.5. Who would leave her alone ever?  They (famous band) have to security/bodyguards. So, therefore things seem like unnatural plot devises.6. She would have been way less literate based on the information we know.7. Cum. Ewww. Come is very. Please, use this word instead. Please.8. The Trevor meander which exist mainly to set up another book.And yet... I really liked it because the dialogue and characters are so good. I have read the first book in the series. I had the same mixed feelings.
