Unplugged

This is a gorgeous cover. A great representation of the hero and story. Original typography and great compostion. I love the overall “artsy” look to it.

I really enjoyed this one. This is my first time reading anything by this author, but it won't be my last. I find she has an engaging way of writing. The pace was fairly good overall, although it did drag a little for me through the middle.

I'll admit I am not a real huge fan of rock star books. I find they tend to be top heavy on the angst and other women/groupie drama. Thankfully this one was pretty mild in that department. It also had some great secondary characters. Especially Jay (I'd love to see him get a book) as well as some of the other guys from the band.



I found Ivi extremely likable. She was a sweet person that didn't refrain from putting people in their places when they deserved it. I liked that she called the hero out on his behavior when it warranted it. Tyler was a bit of a mixed bag for me. He was a bit of a douche at first, but then the real Tyler starts to show and I started warming up to him. His interactions with his son melted my heart. That said I did get frustrated with his hot-cold routine that lasted right up until the end. Honestly, though the real star of this book was Tyler's 10-year-old son Jeremy. I loved that kid and his random facts.

A couple things stopped this from being a total hit for me. One this was a real slow burn type of book. These two dance around each other until pretty late in the book (I want to say 60%-70% in). I also feel that Ivi and Tyler's HEA could have been wrapped up in this book. A few more chapters were all that was needed (IMO). I enjoyed this one enough that I want to read book two but part of me is worried it is going to be a whole book of manufactured drama to keep these two apart. I guess we will see.
