Older man younger woman situation. Lacie in fact was very put off by him in fact due to him superior attitude. So, let’s say she is not a girl to hold back the sass. She came to California with stars in her eyes in hopes of getting a record deal. Now, years later to support herself she has given herself six months. So, when Damen who by the way owns a record company to take her out she cannot believe him. This is the land of perfection not like her curves and softness. But no he wants her.
I enjoyed this part of the story even though there was a transition for the next part of the story which I normally hate this one left in a great place.
I started this book when I knew I had the next two books of the series in hand. As a rule, I avoid a book labeled as the beginning of a “series” when in reality, it’s the beginning of a “serial” – meaning it has no ending and you need to obtain (ie. buy) the next book and so on in order to get the entire story. I thought that Book 1 – this book – though very short, was well done and I kept reading. Book 2 (PRICE OF TRUST) continued the story and again, the writing and characters kept me engaged and invested despite how short it was. Book 3 (STARS DON’T HIDE) had me completely baffled: horrible editing (as in, none?) was just the beginning. I only read 25% of Book 3 and had to stop because the writing was of a completely different caliber. It didn’t even seem like the person who wrote the Book 3 was the same writer who wrote Books 1 and 2. I found it very difficult to read it as is so I never got to the ending. That’s unfortunate because the the beginning of the story, Books 1 and 2, had the bones of a really good story.
I received all 3 books free from the author and am voluntarily providing my honest review. I am reviewing each Book individually and I rated this first book 5 stars.
I received a free ARC copy in return for an honest review.
Abbie Kaid know how to write a short read. Lacie is a 23 yr old trying to get a record contract but is working as a bartender. One night she meet Damen, who she finds out is some kind of record executive. Since he doesn’t order a drink, she thinks he snubbed her. He actually finds her quite attractive and decides to pursue her. The heat is definitely there between these two. This book can be read in a short amount of time. Usually when the story is short, so is the plot and character development. Abbie Kaid does quite the opposite. The characters make you want to know more about them and the cliffhanger – I am off to buy the next book because I have to know what is going on. Give this series a read, you won’t be disappointed.
This was a decent short teaser novella for the start of the series. I’m not a huge fan of cliffhangers and this one has a steep “drop off” so hence the lower stars. I felt like the limited chapters that were in this first book were shallow on character and story development to the point that when the cliff hanger came at the end – I was blindsided and confused more than anything.
However – I would still continue on with reading the next book in the series.
