What happens when people from different musical genres meet and are asked to collaborate on a song? That's the question that is answered in this book. While there are several examples already – Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford, Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock to name a couple, this one is between a rapper – Trace, and Taryn, a country music singer, who has earned the title “America's Sweetheart.”What I loved about this book is that the story was written in such a way that it felt real. Their relationship starts off rocky, and neither one is sure that they like the other. Something else I liked is their relationship develops into something more, going just beyond the world of music and the song they were asked to do together. What I also thought was well done is the fact that from a fan of music, everything they went through felt genuine, and that something like this could actually happen. I also slowly fell in love with both of the main characters, and could empathize with the pressures that come on them from outside, especially the rumor mill and paparazzi. On the whole, I thought that both Taryn and Trace were developed well as characters.As far as secondary characters, I also grew to really like Dre, Cal, Stella, and Regina, along with Taryn's father.Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to fans of music and contemporary romance. My rating is 4/5 stars.
