I liked this book because of the glimpses into the business side of a tour. I never totally got on board with Beckett and Blaine. And I don’t think it was the age difference. I just never found him likable, just always feeling sorry for himself and needed Blaine to make him feel better. I also thought Blaine was an immature young woman in her personal life, considering how much responsibility she carried professionally. As always I liked Marcus and Aaron’s appearances. Love those guys. Overall 3.5 stars
Just For Now
By Jerica MacMillan
Main Characters: Beckett and Blaire
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
3 out of 5 stars
I enjoyed the story but would have liked to see Blaire older like maybe 30. I wasn’t a big fan of Beckett when he couldn’t seem to stand up to his ex-wife. Now Blaire, on the other hand, is a strong female m/c. I wanted to see what happens to Beckett’s ex-wife and his daughter. I also felt like the ending was rushed and I even kept trying to turn the page because I couldn’t believe it was over. I do enjoy this author’s books and will continue to read them.
Just for Now is sexy and full of explosive chemistry. Blaire was not one of my favorite characters from previous books, but I am so glad I had an open mind with Just for Now. I adore Blaire! She’s a woman who takes cares of those around her. She’s the personal assistant to the busiest bands around Cataclysm. But right now, they are on a break and she could use a distraction. She’s ready to spread her wings and kill some time. So, when Rockstar Beckett Stone offers her a job for the second time, she’s ready to agree. Never mind the fact that he’s older and that she’s had a secret crush on him since she was young.
Beckett and Blaire fight their attraction and then will have to decide if what they have is worth fighting for. This couple is explosive and perfect. I couldn’t get enough of them. I love that we catch up with the Cataclysm family and fall in love with the new Beckett Stone group. Pick up Just for Now today and lose yourself in the world Jerica MacMillan has beautifully created.
With Cataclysm on hiatus Blair finds herself at loose ends so when she has the opportunity to manage a single artist it seems like perfect way to fill her time until she is back at her regular job.
Beckett is struggling both personally and professionally. The tour isn’t progressing as well as expected and his relationship with his daughter he wants to be closer to. He hopes that hiring Blair will be just the medicine he needs to get organized in all facets of his life.
It is only a matter of time before the chemistry between them ignites and even though they both agree it is temporary it is starting to feel very different, but will they be able to leave their pasts where they belong?
Blair is sassy and strong and exactly what Beckett needs to heal from the past.
I loved Blair’s & Beckett!
After all the Cataclysm boys, which I loved, I was actually very pleased to read about a forty year old rockstar. Beckett’s career is floundering and needs help to fix his imploding tour. He’s been burned by his ex who only wants money an fame, and has no intention of ever getting into a relationship again.
Blaire had some issues to work out after her throuple comes undone. Since Cataclysm is on a break at the moment, she’s practically crawling out of her skin with boredom. When she comes across Beckett’s offer at being his tour manager, she jumps at the chance. Now she’ll have to fix a tour that’s off the rails while fighter her attraction to her boss.
I’ve always liked Blaire. She’s always giving and helping her friends, especially with their exes!! I definitely understood why she was hesitant to start anything with Beckett after the pounding that her reputation has taken in the gossip rags about her relationship with Aaron and Mason.
I’m still fanning myself! Beckett & Blaine were HOT!! I loved the moments when he allowed himself to be vulnerable. A fantastic read!!
I am a huge fan of rockstar romances, and of the fling to romance trope. Jerica MacMillan’s Just For Now does both perfectly. Blaire and Beckett’s story is a finely done romance. Even a flavor of A Star is Born, one of my favorite movies, whether it be the ‘37, ‘54, ‘76 or recent 2018 version (yes, Blaire’s a rock tour manager so not a performing star herself, but still has the great flavor). Totally yummy, I highly recommend this book
4.5 stars
This was a very interesting take on a rockstar romance. So often, it is told as the person or band is either just being discovered or riding the high of being successful. To have a story in which this is an older singer that is struggling gave it a new depth. Music was still in his soul but, in the case of Beckett, it was stymied and bogged down in the quagmire of a manipulative ex-wife, a tween daughter, and a struggling tour. It was refreshing to see this side of being in music.
Add in Blaire, who also was struggling for plenty of different reasons, who had the experience of being a part of a tour, managing diva rockstars, and also need to rediscover her joie de vivre. I loved how the author showed the dynamic of music, how it isn’t just happy times, that it takes work, and how important it is to find the spark that keeps the music alive. The characters, as usual, were top-notch, the chemistry was titillating, and had the fiery dynamic that I have come to love from this author. I love that she takes the time to showcase the eloquence and beauty of language by her careful choice of words that paint a picture with music because they are two of my favorite things in this world.
