Faded in Bloom by Julia Wolf

5.0

I have been so excited for Adam’s book since we first me him in Built To Fall (a great standalone age gap, boss/assistant, rockstar romance, you should also check out). His story was worth the wait!

Adam, the band’s lead guitarist has a reputation throughout the series, but I loved how we are able to see so much more of his personality in the book! He really is a loyal and caring and getting glimpses of his past gave great insight. He has a lot of layers and has to learn to get out of his own way. I wanted to be mad at Adam at times, but there is just something about him! He really can be sweet if a little daft sometimes, and worked hard to so how much Adelaide meant to him.

Adelaide was so wonderful, she is the daughter of Saul Goodman, the owner of the record label The Seasons Change is signed and Adam’s new neighbour. Your heart broke for her as more about what she was dealing with was revealed, specifically her family life and relationship with her father. She had a lot to over come and dreams but she also needed to hear some hard truths to give her the final push to know she true strength and worth, I loved watching her flourish and follow her passion.

I loved these two together, they have an instant connection, to which they both agree is strictly platonic (until it’s not…) and quickly become the best of friends. They brought out great qualities in each other, and also provide a safe space to be open and be themselves. I really enjoyed all the support and understanding they showed. I loved watching as they got to know each other develop an even stronger connection. The strength they found in themselves while thriving in their friendship was beautiful!
Once the two of them understood and admitted to themselves and each other what they were really feelings they were an unstoppable duo! The grovelling Adam did, was awesome!

I absolutely loved their story and the two of them together! So much emotion, I laughed lots, my heart broke a couple times, there was some anger, and shaking of my head, but these two together…fire!
