Runaway Train’s lead singer, Jake Slater meets Abby Renard the future-new-lead singer for Jacob’s Ladder. Jake’s your regular rock star–emotionally wreck and all. Abby on the other hand is a goody-doer. So of course, it’s very predictable what will happen when Abby accidently fell into Jake’s bed. Literally. However, the road was rocky for the two of them. Has Jake finally met his match with sweet, virginal Abby Renard?

I really want to give this book five stars, but the drama left and right is a little too much for my liking. I really, really love Jake but he can be a serious jerk sometimes. I have a little trouble trying to offset his jerkiness from his sweetness and romantic tendencies. I also like Abby. Throughout the story, she never let anyone walk all over her and I loved it! I was used to reading books where the heroine just sucks it up because the hero will eventually apologize. But Abby really did stand up for herself.

Four point five shining stars for AJ and Mia!

This two will not only leave you smiling and blushing for being mushy with each other, but also hot and bothered for all the sex scenes they have. That limousine teaser of theirs? That is nothing to what else they did in the whole book.

Humor and romance aside, Mia Martinelli got some serious baggage: a cheating fiancé and an abusive ex-boyfriend. And of course our hottie have to get past all of that, yada, yada, yada.

“We all have our pasts and baggage, Mimi. It’s our decision whether they fuck with our future.”

This quote was said to Mia/Mimi by her best friend, Dee. He’s another character you’ll be having lots and lots of fun with! He totally nailed it! You’ll be seeing more of Abby and Jake, of course. After reading Thoughtless Trilogy, Sheet Music and Music of the Heart, I learned that being a girl of a rock star is difficult. You have to squash down your insecurities to all the women and gamble your trust and heart. In love, you’ve got to take all risk there is.
