Getting Lucky with the Rock Star is book three in the Holiday Encounters series by Amy Lamont. This book is available both individually and as part of the Holiday Encounters box set.
If you remember, in the first book, Paige had met a rock star while she was at the bar with Emma giving her moral support. In this book, we realize that that night, they exchanged phone numbers and a secret relationship began. Paige is both in medical school and working at the hospital. She is crazy busy non stop. Whenever they can find the time, she and Jared hook up, mostly just spending time at his apartment out of the public eye so they wouldn’t be caught by the paparazzi. With her crazy life, this time with Jared was like an oasis. A time she could turn everything else off. Until one night when it all became too much.
Jared Sloane is lead singer of the Sliding Violets, a wildly popular band. He lives the life of a rock star. But really, he’s just a down to earth, nice guy. And for some reason, he seems to want to spend time with Paige. She doesn’t know why. They’ve never had any kind of talk about what they were doing. She has no time in her life for a relationship. For all she knew, he had women lined up everywhere he went. But then something happened at work that just broke her. It’s just a few days until her spring break and Jared asked her to go with him on a short one week promotional tour. She needs this time to decompress so who better to spend it with than her sexy rock star.
“Isn’t that what the next week was all about? Indulging all my feelings and fantasies so I’d have something to take with me when I went back to the real world?”
Paige is forced to face the fact that Jared saw their relationship as so much more than just hooking up. Deep down she did too, she was just afraid to face it. She also needed to face the fact that medical school and her job at the hospital were not what she thought they would be.
I think that this is my favorite so far of these three books. I loved Jared. Even though the whole book is told from Paige’s POV, it’s still evident that he’s just a really great guy and that he adores Paige. And wow are these two hot together. Paige has some serious realities to face. Will she figure it all out before it’s too late and she loses the man that has become much more important to her than she ever thought possible? If I had one complaint, it’s that there was no epilogue.
I have been enjoying this series so much and can’t wait for the last book, Summer with the Soldier, which will be Jade and Logan’s story. I’m so excited about this one.
