Ok, first off... this isn't about a rockstar. It's about a country star.
Ok, that's out of the way.
Gemma wakes up in Vegas. Married. (when I read that I was terrified that this was going to be a Stage Dive knock off... but don't worry, it's not. Bullet dodged!)
Like I said, Gemma had too much champers and drunkenly married her high school sweetheart Travis Bowers. Travis is now a famous country singer and is just as sweet as honey. Travis has spent the last 10 years wondering why Gemma ran away. Gemma has spent the last 10 years thinking Travis was a cheating dog and hiding the fact that they have a child together.
You know were this is all headed, right?
This was a sweet, easy read. It wasn't deep, it wasn't intense, it was just enjoyable. Even if it was predictable.
I have to admit, even though I like Gemma, I never forgave her for keeping her son from his father. You just don't do that. It made it hard for me to want her and Travis to be together because I felt like Travis deserved better. But, it's a story and every story needs drama...so there you are.
If you are headed out to the pool this summer and want a fun, light book that will give you a sweet HEA this book is worth a read!

I never rate a decent story as two stars but yikes. Gemma was insufferable and I cringed whenever the best friend showed up. Our damaged hero and cute kid were way too good for her and she just kept making excuses and hurting everyone. And what a liar!!! I do not understand how this relationship makes sense and I was unconvinced.

This book is a bit of a conundrum for me to review. On one hand, it was a decent read, one that I got through within a couple of hours, but on the other hand, I didn't really care for this read either.
Gemma was the cause of most of my problems with this book. She sent out so many mixed signals when it came to Travis that I got whiplash! Travis also was a bit of a jerk, but he at least tempered some of it with romantic gestures designed to actually woo Gemma.
Once again, it was the secondary characters that shone in the book, as we saw the town rally around their "royal couple", and cheer when they got their happily ever after. Here's hoping things improve in subsequent books in the series.
