So I really enjoyed this book, however, I found some of the relationships very "odd" in their workings. The story starts out with Skyla talking to Jake, who is her boss and also a rock star singer, and ohhh he's her half-brother and she doesn't know yet. Skyla is talking about her wedding and sent a picture of her maid of honor, Beth, to Jake. Beth is friends with Skyla and also Brad's (Skyla's soon-to-be-husband) ex-wife. Awkward much? Ohh and if that wasn't bad enough Brad and Beth talk like every day, several times a day and while Beth's mother has been sick has been staying over there to help take care of her. My reaction is a lot like Jake's, why in the world are the ex's spending time together and still "best friends" when they are divorced. Not only that Beth is heavily involved in the wedding, she's the wedding planner and the maid of honor. Seriously AWKWARD. So with that said Jake decides to take it upon himself to investigate the situation to determine is Brad is still hung up on his ex and stop the wedding if need be because his little half-sister deserves the best.When Brad mentions to Skyla that he thinks one of them should move in with Beth, to better help take care of her mother, Jake jumps all over the situation. Not only will he be spending time with a gorgeous woman, but keeping Brad away from said woman. I love the first meeting of Jake and Beth; it's priceless.They argue/talk about how he has come to stay with her instead of Brad and she adamantly tells him no. Eventually, he works his way into the house, but only after 2 reporters see him and take a picture of him and Beth and go with the story that they are engaged, because rumor has it Jake has a ring with him that he recently picked up from a jewelry store. The ring is actually for Skyla, it's a family heirloom, but the public doesn't know about Skyla and Jake wants to keep it that way. Back to Beth and Jake, instead of correcting the story, what do we do? We go with it. Yes this is Beth and we are engaged. YEY!!! So now Beth is engaged to a famous rock star that she just met.Interestingly enough on the first night of his staying Beth uses Jake as her pillow to fall asleep on because she needs a shoulder to lean on. And then my favorite type of scene happens. As they are talking and it gets a little heated Jake kisses her. And the description is one of those life altering so in love I can't see or think straight, butterflies in my stomach and time stops kind of moment. As Jake keeps trying to do the right thing, Beth has the exact opposite in mind. She wants to get lost in Jake and forget the world around her and he does exactly that for her. And when these two get down and dirty its like down and dirty and steamy and hawt and sexy and O.M.G.Ohhh and side note keep an eye out for supersoft chickens. Those are the best lines of the story.As the story continues it's clear to see how much Jake is getting under Beth's skin and how much she is affecting him. They are beginning to care about each other, but the reality of the situation is that it would never work. Jake's first marriage/love is his band and doesn't really do the whole dating thing, even though he's known as a ladies man. Eventually, the rest of the band shows up at Beth's door and I love Liam. He's that funny little brother that everyone wishes they had. But between the band, the chef, and Christophe and all the reporters on her lawn its a lot for Beth to take it. It's the things like this that show Beth what life with Jake would really be like and make her question if she can ever do something like this day in and day out. There has been so much chaos that surrounds Beth since Jake showed up on her doorstep, can anyone really handle that?Both Jake and Beth need to decide what they want. Can Jake even think about a real relationship and give Beth what she truly deserves? Can Beth deal with all the media and cameras in your face? Will the band (except Liam) accept Beth and not think she is in it for the money? What will Brad do? What about poor Skyla? Will she ever know she has a big older half-brother? What about the wedding? Does Brad still have a thing for Beth? Can Jake walk away from Beth? That's my biggest question that I want to know. I'm hoping that maybe Robyn will carry on this story, even from another's perspective? Maybe? I really fell in love with the characters and I'm not ready to end my time with them, I want more. Other than that it was a great read and I'm sure you'll enjoy it too, I mean who wouldn't want to read about hawt, sexy rock stars and them possibly falling in love with a not famous person. It's almost like it could happen for someone like me...or you. Thank you Robyn for the awesome read!!!!
