Alex wakes up one morning to find her husband Glenn has walked out on her. No great loss, since he's a cheater, but he leaves her without any money and with two young boys to take care of.She turns to David, Glenn's best friend, songwriting partner and band mate. They've been friends for years, and David's been in love with Alex since always.  He takes her in but he can't hide his feeling for her forever, and Alex finds she has feelings for David too.  I loved how they finally get together, and especially David's reactions to it all.And then life happens. Glenn comes back and suddenly everything is about him, and he isn't too happy that the wife he no longer wants is desired by his best friend.Karen Booth does a great job with these three characters. I fell in love with David, he was solid and sincere, and most of all patient with Alex, who struggled with the failure of her marriage and the effect of it on her two young boys.  Page and Tyler were awesome kids though, and there were some really nice moments between Alex, David and the boys.I really liked the chemistry between Alex and David, mostly because David was just so sweet to Alex.  Things were very hot in the sack between these two, once they both let go.Hiding in the Spotlight is a fast-paced contemporary romance set against the backdrop of an aging rock-n-roll band. I liked that the main characters were a little older and on the downside of their career.  I've read many rock-themed contemporary romances and the fact that this wasn't an up-and-coming band made this story fresh and interesting for me.Overall, a quick read that will keep you turning the page so you can find out how it all turns out.
