As posted on The Smutty Kitty reviewed by KittyKelly3 out of 5 LicksThis is one of those books that I didn't dislike but it didn't really grab me and suck me in either.  Jake is a rock star that comes across mostly as a jaded jerk.  We find out right away that Skyla is his secret sister and she has no clue.  He hired her to help with the bands fan mail so he could keep an eye on and take care of her from afar.  He takes the time to insane amounts of research on Beth, Skyla's soon to be husband's ex-wife-are you still with me?-so he can show up on her doorstep with a ploy to keep her away from Skyla's future husband.  Apparently he doesn't research enough to find out that Beth's mother has passed away after being sick for quite sometime.  He forces himself upon her and then media chaos ensues.  Beth is likable enough with her quirky dress and quick wit.  I was not a fan of how quickly she falls into bed (couch) with Jake.  She literally knew nothing about him, including the fact that he was famous less than 24 hours ago. While they do build the relationship over time they never really drew me in.  I think it would have worked better if it were shorter.  There were several times where the plot dragged enough for me to put it down and focus on something else for a while.  There were several funny moments and the banter between them at times was quite amusing.  Overall this book is worth taking a look at, especially if you prefer your heroes as rock stars.
