What Goes on Tour. Claire BostonReview from Jeannie Zelos Book reviews.I love this sort of romance, rock star and tours, there's so much potential for that jealousy and drama with the whole fan girls, groupies etc thing...didn't happen here though.  Adrian's rock persona  Kent is purely for the stage, doesn't take up with the groupies and fans, and comes straight back to the hotel, avoiding publicity as much as he can. Once off stage he's washed away, put back in the box and Uncle Adrian comes out, funny, loving and doing the best he can for his recently bereaved niece who he loves. Libby takes over as nanny suddenly, and there's a spark between them. All good so far? Romance in the air? Well....things happen, and after a slow start, just as they finally get together a scandal is unleashed that put things awry.Adrian – I loved him and Grumpy George! His best friend and manager, he's truly loyal to Adrian and little Kate. Kate wants hearts and flowers, and soon grows to love Libby, and decides as kids do to do some match making. Then trouble comes up, tempers are aired and it all falls apart – I need that, need that drama, otherwise its just a sweet everyone-loves-everyone romance. What I did miss though was a proper build up, the sensual tension, the shared and missed touches and glances that lead up to the final steps. Seems one moment Libby is just the nanny, and the next she's in bed with Adrian, and then out of it...Not enough slow and sensual work up, not enough kisses and action, and too much mundane to really bring off the romance for me for a five star. Its a good read though, well written, and everything adds up neatly, no gaps where you think “what happened? Why was that introduced?”  It just didn't hit the spot for a heart-rending, breath taking romance. Its priced at  2.44 for 282 pages so around average for the genre, so if you're looking for a well written, but not overly graphic, romance this could be just what you want.Stars: three and a half.ARC supplied by Netgalley
