I was lucky enough to win this book in a giveaway...and what a lovely breath of fresh air it was!Most of the romances and rocker books I read are always very dark and filled with steamy sexuality and dirty talk...fun and definitely my cup of tea...but occasionally I like to switch it up and read something a tad more on the tamer side as long as it has a good story and is well written. Sophie's Turn is all that and more...a very sweet and very realistic, relatable story of one woman's discovery about love, life and not settling.As many young women have done, Sophie had a crush and fantasized about a boy band and when she gets to spend a magical night with them after a concert, she indulges in a little bit of flirty, harmless fun with the bad boy lead singer Dan and it is something she takes with her into adulthood. Fast forward 10 years and Sophie is now a reporter and engaged to the kind and sweet but rather stuffy Tim, and when she crosses paths with Dan and his bandmates, her chance to re-live the excitement (as an adult this time) comes back to cause all sorts of havoc and confusion into her life. Add to that a meddling and at times very annoying best friend Rachel and you have the recipe for some romantic escapades and near disasters that are both funny and emotionally draining to all (including the reader).I found myself really feeling sorry for Sophie more so than Dan or Tim and what she goes through and her ultimate decision is so relatable to me that I cheered her when she made her final choice and am SO looking forward to diving into the next book of the series.This book contains no explicit sex or vulgar language, merely discreet descriptions that leave more to the imagination but are filled with innuendo and foreplay. A warning though: DO NOT read this book hungry...OMG...the food descriptions and fine dining that takes place in various cities throughout made me hungry and filled with longing to travel just to eat my way through the countryside!***** 5 ***** "Sophie's choice was a good one" stars
