“Rocking Her World” is the first in a series about Kay, a solicitor giving up her career in law to follow her dream of becoming a singer via a talent TV show.  Along the way, she has to deal with self doubt, a unsupportive boyfriend, media scrutiny and a new relationship with a rock superstar.I liked Kay, the plucky solicitor that took a chance on her dreams.  I understood why she made the decision to walk away from her job in search of something to feed her soul.  Kay was a smart, determined woman.  That does not mean that she didn’t have her stumbles along the way.  I had some problems with how she dealt with her personal relationships and the media.  But even smart people make dumb choices.  If you want a perfect character that makes only mature, level- headed choices and who doesn’t take mess from people, Kay may try your patience a bit.Possible Spoiler AlertThere are two men in Kay’s life, her unsupportive boyfriend Anthony and rock superstar Nate.  It was easy to despise Anthony and like Nate, at least in the beginning.  The deterioration of Kay’s and Anthony’s relationship was drawn out and painful to read about.  The progression of her relationship with Nate seemed rushed and half baked. Something about it just didn’t work all that well for me.At the end of the book, I didn’t care for Anthony and I realized that Nate wasn’t the best prize out there either.  I was feeling sort of ambivalent about the whole thing. “Rocking Her World” was a mixed bag for me.  I just wasn’t invested in these relationships. It says something about a romance novel, when you really wonder if the heroine is better off alone.
