Review: Solid writing - misleading blurb
Rating: 3 out of 5

I don't enjoy being misled by the blurb. What I got by reading it was that this book was a NA rock-star contemporary romance. What I ended up reading was an erotic romance (smut really) that had several unpleasant surprises in store such as a threesome and the hero's muddled sexuality. I would have appreciated knowing about these elements before buying that book. Other than that, the storyline was very weak. I totally get the Sunday school teacher wanting to let loose for three days and live life on the edge in the arms of a sexy rock star, but being totally spineless and acquiescing to "pain", threesoms and every crazy whim of the annoyingly self-absorbed Locke riled me up. Also, her reason for crashing the rock band party was lame. Trying to locate the guy who left her sister pregnant in the midst of a rock band's tour when her sister flat-down refuses to tell her who he was has zero plausibility, and that's further proven since Ashley never gets anywhere near discovering the would-be dad, but it doesn't seem her actual priority as all she does is have sex with Locke (plus one). No moments of tenderness here, so after three days of wild sex, the declaration of love and forever-afters had me rolling my eyes.One star for Ms Lin's great writing though. Some great turns of phrase there.
