Emotional, heartbreaking read that really moved me
I absolutely adore stories with a lot of angst and drama which are based on the previous experiences of the main characters. Love this side of life shown in the books because almost everyone sees the world and others, feels and makes decisions base on our experiences, our past, our believes and fears. Quinn’s and Chris’s story has it all. It gave me really heart shattering moment but also showed me sweet, romantic and fun times with the main characters. True dilemma shown in the story line caused that this book was something special for me as there was similar moment in my life with someone close to me who was dying and I couldn’t be there for him. I connected easily with main characters and I fully understood their true feelings and struggles. It is not easy not to run away from our past but it is not always easy to chase after our dream only to see that the money and success are not the most important part of the picture.
I loved how effortlessly plot was leading me trough the events and how immediately immersed by the story I was. Another great read by this author and I can’t wait to read more.
An absolutely amazing story full of love and heartbreak.
A great read.

Once again, Amber Thielman shows herself prepared and able to deal with the grittier issues of life. Chris and Quinn’s loved story is fraught with addiction issues, angst, and particularly Quinn’s emotional trauma at home and with Chris. It’s a book that entertains while it keeps you reading, and it is a worthwhile read. If you’re new to Thielman, try it.
Meet Chris, swoony, sweet, lonely Aussie rock star, and Quinn, the curvy, sometimes snarky, red headed journalist… I loved this rock star romance, especially that Chris (the rock star) was totally into Quinn and wanted to be in a serious relationship with her. Of course, this being an Amber Thielman book, there’s always an edginess, and I won’t spoil it, but Quinn has to work through some issues before she can truly get her happily ever after with Chris. (PS. I’d love to see Gina get a book too 🙂 )
I enjoyed Quinn and Chris’s story. It’s a nicely developed and well written story that is so heartwarming. It’s a touching and beautiful story with ups, downs and tribulations. I love the characters! They are so likable and realistic.
Find a quiet place to not be interrupted and bring the tissues. This book has all the emotions and feels as you become enveloped in the story and invested in these two characters.
Quinn has a lot on her plate and mind; the forefront is her father who is battling a serious illness. She take a journalist job with a questionable tabloid that has her touring with a rock band to get the dirt. Grace comes along with her and an instant friendship is developed which helps Quinn.
Chris the the Aussie rocket god who fronts the band. Quinn and Chris start a relationship and develop strong feelings for each other. Unfortunately a discovery by Quinn has her leaving Chris. With the pressure of her magazine to print the dirt. An ill father and a she struggles.
Chris also has his struggles as you see when you read the book. This story in not a fairytale or the perfect love song. It is real, believable and the characters have flaws like is all. They are so well developed with such depth and you feel for them as the embed themselves in your heart and mind.

This is a well written book with a realistic story line and characters. The author does a beautiful job pulling out the emotions and making you feel what the characters are feeling. She moves the story fluidly as she takes Quinn and Chris on their journey. It’s a heartfelt story and I enjoyed reading.

An absolutely incredible read! Quinn takes an journalist assignment to follow the band Midnight Oil. She meets the lead singer Chris and feels an attraction to him, but tries to fight her feelings for him. Her boss wants her to get any kind of information and dirt she can find on them. She has a hard time dealing with this. I loved the real life problems the characters dealt with in this book. It’s a beautiful love story, filled with angst, addiction issues, heartbreak, and love. Another excellent read and one I definitely recommend.
This is my first read from this author and I really enjoyed it. I need to go back and read the other books in the series.
What a rollercoaster of a read! Amber Thielman wrote such a beautiful story full of emotion, full of reality, full of love. Quinn is a sweet girl who is a hard worker and wants the best for all of those around her. She brings out lots of emotions throughout this story especially when you learn about her father and her brother. (No spoilers, just read it!)
Chris is kind of to himself in a way, but the more you read the more you learn about him and he’s a sweetheart. He really hit home with me and I actually had to put the book down at several points because of his struggles. I felt like I was reading about a family member at points. She did a beautiful job with this story.
The story is well written, you can tell Amber really poured her heart and soul onto the pages and the characters are fantastic. The world building was great in this story and you can feel the connection these characters have pour right off the pages.
Beautiful job!
Bring wine & tissues for this extra special read from this amazing author.
Got me from the get go, just loved yet another page turner from this seriously good author. I’ve always been a fan of rock star romances but this was on another level. Beautifully crafted, drew me in & then it felt like it was spitting me out at times but understood the need for that so I could seriously grasp this unconventional relationship. The heart knows what the heart wants & will their hearts win to find their hea? Grab this book to find out. I received an ARC & this is my honest & voluntary review
Wow what an intoxicating rollercoaster ride.
Emotional,Raw and beautifully written by Amber Thielman.
A Rockstar Romance filled with everything,Romance, Love,Angst Heartache and pain Quinn and Chris’s Love story had me captivated from the very beginning to the point I found it hard to put down.

ONE ROCKY ADVENTURE!!!
Amazing! Amber not only hit the motherload, she blasted the vault wide open in this sensational, chart topping, masterpiece. A multitude of daunting events, throws this baby into a tailspin with a stunning culmination. Presenting one refreshing spin that’s so touching and heartwarming with passion, finesse and style that blows this baby wide open. Yielding incredibly, well rounded scenario’s, that punch dead center with such exuberance and grace, grounding in it’s strength and awe inspiring in it’s depth. Securing the ups and downs, weaving a cocoon so intricately and tight, drawing you deeper into this tangled web. Bumbling through the trials and tribulations, keeping pace with a slew of plot twists and skeek turns testing our characters in ways they could have never anticipated. The attraction and chemistry builds as each layer is peeled back exposing an undeniable connection and amplifying affections, binding them to one another perfectly. The characters are authentic and realistic with qualities and traits that blend into amazing personalities. The scenes are so colorfully descriptive it paints an elaborate backdrop that makes the storyline pop. Outstanding job Amber, thanks for sharing this incredible fella with us.

Main Characters: Quinn and Chris
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
5 out of 5 stars
Quinn is an intern with a magazine and was given the assignment to follow the band Midnight Oil with a new intern Grace and write and send pictures every day. She meets Chris the lead singer and is drawn to him. Their feelings grow but then comes the twists and turns and heartaches. Quinn’s boss wants her to something that goes against the grain and then she finds a secret and the heartaches ensue. I love Amber’s characters and sometimes she writes about things that other authors stay away from. This is only the 2nd book of hers I have read but I want to read a lot more of them.
An amazing heartwarming beautiful love story. This amazing storyline is well written and includes emotional trauma, angst, it is sweet, touching, has addiction issues, ups and downs, musunderstanding, and love. A truly amazing journey of love and secrets. I voluntarily reviewed this ARC.
