He’s a rock star with stage fright. She’s a therapist with a dangerous secret…
Sebastian Roe was shot onstage during a concert five years ago, sending him into a creative tailspin and leaving him with a deep fear of performing. But his love of music is too strong to keep him off a stage forever, despite the fact the police never caught the gunman. He just needs a little help getting back in front of an audience, and figures announcing a U.S. tour will force him back onstage. Unfortunately, it’s bringing up his worst nightmare and puts his sold-out comeback tour in jeopardy.
Mia Merrill was in the audience the night of Sebastian’s fateful concert. She loves his music and wants to help him overcome his PTSD and get him back onstage, but there’s another reason she’s determined to become his therapist.
She’s the reason he was shot.
Driven by guilt and a need to atone, Mia takes Sebastian on as a patient. Romantic sparks fly between the two during their therapy sessions, but no sooner do they start to make progress on Sebastian’s stage fright than the gunman announces he’s back to finish the job.
MY REVIEW
Rock Star is a fast-paced forbidden romance that takes a realistic approach to what life can be like for someone famous. I thought the plot was original, and I really liked the concept. I mean, it’s not every day that you come across a rock star who’s been lost ever since he was shot and is struggling to find his way back to music. And what better way to help a struggling artist? Bring in a stunning therapist who brings him back to life in more ways than one…
I thought Mia and Bash were a great match. Both of them were plagued by their pasts. He’s damaged, and she’s the only one who can fix him. The chemistry between them just oozes off the pages. However, any type of relationship between them, while Bash was a patient, would only end in disaster, especially if the secret Mia is hiding comes to light.
Overall, I thought this was a realistic and entertaining read. This is one of those books that’s got something for everyone. I mean, you can’t go wrong with romance, steam, and a little mystery in between.
