(ARC received from author in exchange for an honest review)Love of a Rockstar is not your typical ‘Rocker’ read. This is a story of second chance love. I believe this is a debut novel for author Nicole Simone and it is a great debut.Marlene was 8 months pregnant when her boyfriend decided it wasn’t the life he wanted so he left to pursue his music career. 4 years later and he’s a big star while Marlene is at home holding the baby with the love and support of her friends and family to help.Luke left the love of his life 4 years ago to raise his child alone. He now wants back in, wants what he threw away without a backward glance. He thinks he can just walk back in and everything will be as it should. He soon finds out he’s wrong when he finds that his little girl isn’t as welcoming as he thought at first and Marlene has moved on.While I did enjoy this read and I do recommend it for those who love second chance romance reads it did feel a little rushed in places. The book needs to be slowed down in some places and speeded up in others and this would from a good read to an excellent one. The characters are well thought out and at a good pace through the book; occasionally they run away from themselves but do manage to pull it back. I really like the fact that this isn’t a typical ‘rocker’ read. Luke isn’t a drugged up, drunk who will lay anyone. He wants to be a family man and Marlene wants them to be a family but after he walked away…… She’s a little scared to admit that to herself. Nicole has the characters go on an amazing journey of self-discovery.Well-deserved 3.5 star read
