Flynn is a reformed bad boy rocker who meets Tessa when she is hired to be the photographer for his famous band's final tour. What he doesn't remember is that, years ago when his life was a mess, he sang an entire concert directly to Tessa, in the front row. Something about her drew him in and, after that night, he began to change his life for the better. Now their instant attraction has him convinced they are meant to be. But Tessa isn't sure she believes she can be enough for a rock star used to having everything.This book isn't bad, but it's not great either. There are a lot of typos and Flynn makes a lot of long, heartfelt speeches--a LOT of them. And he has so many family members, during some conversations I was ridiculously confused (I guess because I'd never read the author's other series about the Hart family.) After a while, I just gave up and ignored them. They were peripheral anyway.But really, my issue with the story is that nothing much happens. They have a couple of misunderstandings but both can be easily cleared up with a short conversation. Which they do and then everything is fine again. There's really just no conflict or major challenge to their relationship. It's a little boring.Flynn is amusing at times (like when he's not giving his long-winded declarations of love). His observations of the rock world and surrounding hangers-on are kind of funny. Tessa is typical of this genre--the beautiful girl who doesn't trust men because she's been hurt in the past. She was kind of a broken record and it was tedious to listen to the same fears over and over no matter who told her Flynn was totally into her.There are also a LOT of sex scenes. I mean really--sex took up like 2/3 of the book. Maybe that's why there wasn't that much plot? It seemed like they have sex 5 times a day--in great detail. When did they have time to do anything else? It was a bit much.So I'm not sure whether I liked this book or not. The characters were ok but nothing happened (except for all that sex). And I would have liked to have seen some of their life on the road, dealing with the crazed groupies and fans while they were together. But all of that was skipped over to reach that HEA. It was pretty disappointing. Especially since they were all there FOR the tour and the threat of tour life was Tessa's main fear about their relationship. So to jump over that whole part...it was cheating a bit IMO.Anyway, as I said--not terrible but not great either.Not reading anymore in this series.
