Great story.
I jumped into Piper’s story straight after reading Last score series. I absolutely adored Gibson and Chloe’s story.
Piper was a girl they had taken in, both Chloe and Gibson became her guardians after her mother died. Chloe after setting up a home for abused women became Piper’s mother’s comfort in her hour of need and promised to look after her teenage daughter. All of this part of the story was told in the previous books, however, Piper’s own story did also reiterate this in her own.
Simon is another member of the rock group that Gibson is a part of as the lead singer and from the moment he meets piper he feels a connection, although it’s only when she is older and Piper begins to make her own way in the music business with her phenomenal voice that Simon makes his move. The age gap isn’t huge around seven years.
Piper is a woman with a backbone and is determined to make her own mark in the music world with her singing and not rely on Gibson who could open many doors for her.
A good story but I don’t feel like I knew Simon well enough. I would have loved to know more about him, had his thoughts and feelings and his background but it was only told in Piper’s pov and this was a letdown, I would have liked to feel more of a connection with Simon.
Piper is a good story with drama and ups and downs, a really good read. This book can be read as a standalone or as part of the Last Score which I recommend doing as it enhances Piper’s story and Gibson and Chloe are a part of this too so it would give you a better understanding of the dynamics in their relationship as well as the connection with the other characters.
Piper’s story has all the feels. Fear, anticipation, suspense, love, and everything in-between. She and Simon have a couple rocky times early on, thanks to paparazzi. Trust and faith come hard to them both. I thoroughly enjoyed their book
Loved this book, loved the interaction between characters. As always with KL Shandwick you feel all the emotions.
An absolutely amazing story, Piper totally blow me away, giving me all the feels. It was wonderfully written and one of those books you never want to end. If you have read Gibson’s Legacy and Trusting Gibson you will already be familiar with Piper and Simon but please don’t worry if you haven’t as this book can be read as a standalone although I would highly recommend you don’t miss out on getting to know Gibson Barclay.
Piper is under the guardianship of Gibson and his wife Chloe after losing her mum a couple of years earlier. Simon is Gibson’s best friend as well as his band mate he and Piper are perfect for each other but under the circumstances and with a twelve year age gap a relationship isn’t going to be that easy. You can only hope they can find a way to make it through and get their happily ever after.
This is a fabulous spin off from Gibson’s books with an epilogue to melt your heart. My only wish is that I could give this book more that 5 stars!!
An amazing story of first love learning who you are and standing up for what you want and who no matter what. Piper has been in love from afar with Simon since she met him but with Gibson as her dad and Simon his best friend and band mate thats not gonna happen or will it. I loved this story so much and Gibson and other characters coming into it reminded you of their story and how much went on. Piper is a strong wonderful character and her turning Simon into the man he should be instead of the young man who dosent know what or who he wants. this is a must read series that you wont want to miss it highly recommended.
Piper by KL Shandwick is such a great page turner. Once i started the story i could. It put it down. I honestly did not see this story coming. It went in a direction that i totally didn’t think about hut makes total sense. We see the story or Piper and Simon in this awesome book. The reader is enthralled by the story, characters and even the setting. This is not a book filled with sex it has an actual angst filled story. I fell in love with this book and would definitely recommend. Such a great heart warming, entertaining and deep story. 5 stars all the way.
This was a great read! I have not read the other books but will definitely be loking them up. There were a few things I had questions on since I had never read the other books, but I was not lost.
Piper is determined to have a music career without the help of her family. Simon has put off his feelings for Piper long enough. These two have a connection that can’t be stopped.
I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by this author!
Gibson and Chloe’s daughter Piper. This contemporary rock star romance is truly an amazing book. We get to see how Piper becomes a rock star, she is one stubborn young lady. I absolutely loved this book.
Piper’s doing what she always wanted, starting her music career, but she wants to do it alone without it being because of Gibson. Although she’s lonely being used to having people around her, but then Simon calls her and invites her to dinner at his house.
Everything is going perfect, the twists and turns keep you captivated, you start to wonder will their world fall apart fall apart, will Simon’s past affect them. Is the media going to eat Piper alive?
This rockstar forbidden romance is amazing, this is a spin-off but can be read as a standalone. Piper and Simon’s story is one you need to read. Gibson will not be happy and easy about this whole situation but yet things between Piper and Simon are building. Then something happens and things are on a tight thin line. The story hooked me and had me intrigued by how Simon would redeem himself. Definitely, a great rockstar romance read, with strong characters and a well-developed plot.
When you thought she was done with Gibson she comes with with this brilliant spin off. You will be entertained to the very end.
5.0 out of 5 stars
it is a bit like watching a beautiful butterfly emerge from its chrysalis

Piper is vulnerable and innocent in some ways, I guess because of her background and age, but she is also mature in others again above her age. Her life before Gibson was hard and scary, full of worry for her safety and her mums. The maturity she has helps give her strength and understanding, patience to listen before reacting or judging for the most part to harshly even if feeling hurt by whatever situations may arise. In this story I felt she was the one who came across as the oldest character, despite anything going on at the time.
This story is emotional and in many ways inspiring, it is a bit like watching a beautiful butterfly emerge from its chrysalis, spread its wings and fly away free. It has all the elements you would expect from a romance, but you get so much more as well. It is quite a long book not one that can easily be read and taken in as it deserves in a few hours, to get the maximum enjoyment you need to get comfortable and let this story take you away. I felt I wanted to take my time and let it soak into my soul, it deserved that sort of attention and understanding. If I could I would have marked this much higher than 5 stars, there are a lot of 5 star reads out there, I know because I’ve read a lot myself. This demanded more than that.
The author’s understanding of this character and attention to detail comes across throughout, she has written a story that grabs you and holds you captive. It is one I finished very late at night, having gone through a mass of emotions, one that left me with tears running down my face. You get angst, sweetness, love and anger in spades but you have to read it to get everything. WOW!
