As a former groupie who has been backstage and had more than her fair share of "romances" with rock stars I wanted sooo badly to like this book but I just couldn't.  First of all, guys in bands are generally all the same -- little boys who never grow up -- so the premise of Johnnie "wanting more" from life was a little far fetched in my opinion. Also the love story was just too rushed.  They fell in love within 3 days and were professing love to each other and engaged in less than a week.  HAHA! That would NEVER happen. Rock stars ARE capable of falling in love but not that quickly. Sex and groupies are all part of the game they like to play and even though Jess was not a groupie she was still part of the game.  If she had not attended the concert and they had just met in the coffee shop and Johnnie spent time trying to find her, THAT would've been a little more believable.  Cute girls in the audience are a dime a dozen.  Just ask Motley Crue.Also I'm a stickler for books that aren't professionally edited. Come on now! I'm thinking I should write my own rock star romance.....
