Rockstar Daddy was a pleasant and easy read; one that I was able to get through within a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon.The story of Jax and Kendal though reminiscent to a few other romance stories out there had a different taste to it which I really enjoyed. What differentiated Rockstar Daddy was that the author was really able to portray the mother and son connection between Kendal and Finley. The few other books with similar plots fail to do that, they only truly focus on the relationship between the hero and the heroine. By giving her readers a taste of Kendal’s bond with Finley, it gives her character more depth which is always a win for a book heroine.I love second chance romances and this one was no exception. During the times that they were apart due to a misplaced selfless act, Kendal and Jax still very much loved each other. They both longed for each other throughout the entire years they were separated and their love for each other never faltered, even after having relationships with other people (or in Jax case, many, many other people). I was surprised not to have read any steamy, sex scenes in this book at all- with a title like Rockstar Daddy and with a cover like that, I was expecting it and was a bit disappointed. With two very good looking, virile characters, I’d think that the author would have at least given us a hint of their sexual chemistry.My biggest complaint about Rockstar Daddy would be the inanimate, unneeded details that are littered all over the pages of this book. I mean, I get it; authors want their readers to be able to visualize what is happening; a way to get their readers to live through their words… But to me, there were too many minute details which quite honestly, took me out of the zone. Just when a great dialogue is finally taking form, it would revert back to the characters dress color, the kind of shoes Kendal is wearing, the etc., etc. I wish that the details were done more with purpose rather than come off as fillers.Overall, I enjoyed this book. Again, it’s short and sweet and I am looking forward to see what is in store for Jax and Kendal and I am truly pulling for them to have their much deserved happily ever after.For our full review click here: http://welikeitbigbookblog.wordpress....
