A stable career with plenty of advancement opportunity, Paige, her best friend of a decade as her roommate, and best of all, her amazing boyfriend of three years, attorney Ryan Stewart.One night Alex and Paige are out having some harmless karaoke fun, when an unreal opportunity presents itself. With her … presents itself. With her best friend by her side every step of the way, Alex takes on this new experience to see if her dreams could really come true.

Especially a band that has entered a showcase competition, where the grand prize is the chance to open for a multi-platinum selling group of rockers that is currently on a worldwide tour. That famous band is also fronted by none other than the sinfully sexy, Noah Dreagan, who seems to be drawn to Alex, and emits an energy that could easily pull her in.

A start to,a series about chasing a dream and taking a chance It’s a look at the work of making it in the music biz and still keeping your day to day life
Alexandra Wilson is out with her best friend Paige Arnold one night when after singing karaoke she is approached by Matthew Crench to sing on the show Stella NOVA with a group that needs a lead singer. Alex is over joyed with the chance of fulfilling her dream but knows she has to keep her full time job as an IT shift manager as well.
Will Alex and her group Lost Moments have a chance at winning the competition and how will this change her life?
I enjoyed this book and the idea behind it but at the same time I really struggled to be grabbed by the book. I found at times there was so much extra detail in the book and I really felt like it was dragging but I did like the characters in the book.
Alex was a girl who deserved what she was getting with the opportunity to sing in the competition and I loved that she was chosen from a karaoke bar when she wasn’t expecting it. I loved her friendship with Paige and how accepted Paige was by everyone involved with the show. Amber was wonderful and went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect for Alex.
I loved Alex’s boyfriend Ryan Stewart, an attorney, who was very happy for Alex and the two had a great and trusting relationship.
The guys in the band were great and hopefully each of them get their own book as well as Paige.
I have mixed feelings about Noah Dreagan, the lead singer for Carnal Imagination as you can tell he had chemistry with Paige and he doesn’t seem the type to really care that she has a boyfriend and will do what he can to get her for himself.
The end leaves us with a bit of a cliff-hanger which I think alludes to great news for Alex and Lost Moment but we’ll have to wait and see.
I think one of the things that did probably annoy me a little was that everything went so smoothly and there wasn’t any real conflicts or bumps in the road for Alex. We get the idea that there could possibly be an upcoming love triangle but other than that there was nothing.

Topping the Charts story! Ashley @ Carolina Chic’s Read
My first book by Clara Fox and she did an awesome job of this with this rockstar journey!!! I love rockstar books and this one had all the feels and all the things a romance should. This book takes you on the journey of the music industry and what happens when new talent is found in a new Band Last Moment. Alex the lead singer takes you through so many emotions with all that you expect! I cannot wait to see where this girl goes and how she changes how things are done!
When Alex is approached by a scout after one of her performances, she’s astounded. She can’t believe he’s offering her the path to her dreams of being a true blue rockstar! But will her boyfriend get in the way of her dreams? Can he handle her newfound fame and lifestyle?
Destiny is a great start at what promises to be a fun rockstar story. I’m not sure where Alex and band are headed, but if the story continues in the same vein as Destiny, I know I’ll end up loving it as much I did the first part.
When it comes to rock star romances I’ve certainly read my fair share of them and found much to like about this series starter that set itself apart from the crowd. With the release of this first installment in the Last Moment series a woman goes from singing karaoke to singing onstage in an exhilarating journey that captivated me after a somewhat slow start. With each turn of the page though the action and emotions intensified to leave readers on the edge of their seats courtesy of a cliffhanger.
Alex Walton has always loved singing, but it’s always been just a hobby, something she reserved for after work hours as she could never see herself being a success at it. One night at a karaoke club though changes everything for her as a talent agent offers her the chance of a lifetime….to be the lead singer of a newly-formed band ready to enter a competition. It’s a competition that will have the winner as the opening act on a tour with a popular rock band. It’s a moment that changes everything for her, and those closest to her, and the first step in a journey that readers get to be a part of every step of the way. Alex is a likable heroine with a lot of hidden talent just waiting to be unleashed on the world. She’s full of uncertainties, full of self-doubts too, but luckily has a strong support system with her friend Paige and her boyfriend Ryan. Paige is a wild child, full of energy and flirtatiousness. She captures every man’s attentions, leaving Alex feeling like a second fiddle once or twice, but is immensely likable and always pushing Alex to the top and talking her up at every turn. She’s a good friend through everything, supportive and protective and someone you can easily see yourself hanging out with. There’s an air of mystery surrounding her though when it comes to the men in this story. There’s definite chemistry between her and music exec Matthew as well as incendiary looks between her and Parker. I look forward to seeing more of her in the future and am definitely curious about her love life and I hope that it will take center stage at some point. Then there’s Ryan, Alex’s boyfriend of three years, a loyal and down to earth man who’s supportive of her…except for one scene that left a bad taste in my mouth. There’s also moments of jealousy that radiate off him and that have me doubting that Alex’s HEA is meant to be with him. That doesn’t mean that he wasn’t sweet and sexy, it just left me wondering about their future as a couple. All this makes for an interesting trio of friends who are all newbies in this rock star world and I’m curious to see how they handle the decisions that will need to be made as the story moves forth.
Alongside this strong trio of characters are the rest of Last Moment, bandmates to Alex who accepted her wholeheartedly from the start. They looked to her to set the pace and it led them to the cusp of fame. They’re a likable group with sexy looks and compelling backgrounds just hinted at. While they respect Alex’s relationship with Ryan they still flirted with her occasionally…as did Noah, lead singer to the band they’ll be touring with. Noah oozes sex appeal and their first meeting was electric. It’s clear that there’s something between them, a spark that has me on edge as readers are left waiting with bated breath after one heckuva cliffhanger. All in all it’s a satisfying start to what promises to be a sexy journey to fame, fortune, and HEA!
Destiny is an amazing story!
It’s a little different take on your normal rockstar romance. I loved the way the band was formed. Alex, Avis, Shane and Parker make up the band Last Chance. They fit perfectly together. Alex is the lead singer. They’re brought together to compete for a chance to open for a famous rock band Carnel Imagination. The journey of the band is a very enjoyable story! I can’t wait for the next book so I can find out what happens next!
First book in this series and the first that I have read from this author. I really enjoyed it. Great characters with a great rock star romance storyline. It will be hard to put down once you get started. Can’t wait to read what is next in this series.
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is the first book in a new series and it’s a great read. It’s wonderfully written, the characters are likeable and intriguing, and it’s a fun and unique rock star romance. This is an entertainingly enjoyable story from start to finish and I highly recommend it. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
This story is so well written! I love everything about this book! It was a unique take on a Rock Star Romance, and I am absolutely in love! I was not able to put this one down at all! I cannot wait for more from this author!
I thought that this was a good read, The author took a cute idea and turned it into a fun story that was easy to get into. The cast of characters was intriguing, very likable and quick to connect with. While I did like it, I also felt that maybe the plot wasn’t quite sure where it was going or what it really wanted to be. Hopeful, that will fade with book two. This book does end on a cliffhanger and I really feel that there is so much more that needs to be explored when the story picks up again. This is my volitional, candid review.
This is the 1st in a new series and what an amazing, unique and refreshing introduction this is. This is a beautifully written tale which is fun, entertaining, and with drama and wonderful characters. I cannot wait to read more in this series, and I highly recommend for all readers.
Clara Fox takes you on this fabulous journey in the music industry in her Last Moment series with book one Destiny. You follow the start of the Last Moment band with Alex as the sexy lead singer and the rest of the guys battle it out to be an opening act for a rock group heading out on world tour. I love the passion behind the music. The band just jells so well being thrown together and I just love how they all come together. Alex has this fantastic mind for the music business and I can’t wait to see where she goes from just book one. She has a fabulous support system and knows how to bring the Rock God Noah to his knees. You sense this little spark between them and I for one can’t wait to see what happens.
