Who doesn’t want to fall in love a hot and sexy rock star?
Katie Ashley certainly delivered her readers the perfect guy to embody the
every woman’s rock star fantasy, Jake Slater. He is the lead singer of Runaway
Train and has the whole misunderstood and emotionally suffering artist thing
going for him.
Again, who doesn’t love the self-tortured rock star type?
Our heroine, Abby Renard, is almost the polar opposite Jake
Slater. Born into a religious family that served as missionaries, Abby deeply
believes in her faith and values. She is suppose to join band her three older
brothers started and decides to hit the road with them for the Summer to see if
she can handle it. She may not know which path God is leading her down, as she
also want to become a nurse, but she definitely seems to have a great head on
her shoulders.
Well, until she accidently ends up on Runaway Train’s bus
and makes a bet with a known womanizing rock star.
Jake is instantly attracted to Abby when he finds her in his
bed and thinks she is just another groupie. I think it makes him even more
attracted to her when she quickly lets him know she is not there on purpose and
is not interested in joining him in any kind of sexual activities, because he
quickly make a bet with her that keeps her on his band’s bus for the next week.
We learn a lot about these characters, Abby and Jake, over
the course of their week together. We also meet some great secondary characters,
Jake’s band mates AJ, Rhys, and Brayden. I don’t think the book would have been
the same without Jake’s band mates. Katie Ashley did well is letting all their
different personalities shine through on the pages as we got to meet them.
Katie Ashley made me feel everything from rage to sorrow for
Jake, and on more than one occasion. Just when I started to think Jake wasn’t
such a douchbag he’d do something to totally piss me off in the full rock star
fashion, but then something would happen that would completely break my heart
for him and I’d want to pull him into a big bear hug.
I fell in love with Abby as well. I couldn’t help be keep
routing for her throughout the whole book, whether it involved her relationship
with Jake or her fear over being on stage with her brothers. I felt like a
proud mother every time she succeeded in some aspect of her life or overcame a
fear.
She spent 11 1/2 years educating the Youth of America aka teaching MS and HS English until she left to write full time in December 2012.
She also writes Young Adult fiction under the name Krista Ashe.
