Blurb: Over one million “likes”—but only one of them matters.
After pop star Ryan De Luna praises Maisy Harrison’s YouTube cover of his classic hit, he offers Maisy and her fledgling band the opportunity of a lifetime: to be his opening act.
Music may be Maisy’s life, but she has one ground rule: never date a musician. That goes double for a heartbreaker like Ryan. If only she didn’t feel so vulnerable to his larger-than-life charm. And maybe now more than ever, when he asks for her help to shake off his playboy image. How can she resist playing the part of his fake girlfriend for the duration of the tour?
Ryan’s never met anyone like Maisy. She sees past all the star-studded fame and treats him like any other guy. And the more time they spend together, the more he finds himself falling for her. Now he’d like to make their imaginary fling an IRL thing. But can he convince her to take a chance and trust him with her heart?
Favorite quote(s): “I’m not any kind of groupie. I have an IQ with triple digits, thanks.”
“What do I think? To be honest, I’m kind of surprised there’s not a stripper pole back here.”
“People say no offense when what they mean is I’m about to insult you but don’t get mad. It’s rude.”
“If vegetarians love animals so much, why do they eat all their food?”
“It’s called go away, and it’s located somewhere not here.”
Thoughts: I’m simply amazed by this authors talent! I originally noticed her books as an ad that popped up on my kindle….normally, I ignore those, but something that day made me click on it. I decided to take a chance and grabbed book one, Starstruck – and fell in love. I loved the authors writing style and immediately requested Moonstruck (book two) from Netgalley. I was even more amazed by this author. Her storylines are interesting, her characters are down-to-earth and brutally honest, and the romance is enough to send your heart all aflutter. Rock star romances are usually just okay for me, but this author has a knack for it. In just two books I’m already a one-click fan, and have pre-ordered book three, Awestruck, due out in 2019.
Moonstruck has a lot of social media ‘tweets’ between the characters, and I was a bit worried about the author pulling that off….but I have to say, she did a hell of a job. It actually became an anticipated part of the story that added to the reading experience. I honestly can’t think of a single negative thing to say about this book. And not only was the book good, but it’s one of those that sticks out in your mind after the fact. It’s also one of the ones I am sure I will re-read many times over the years.
Let’s just say, I have found another favorite author to add to my list!
This one, fellow readers, is a must read – and it will definitely hit my list of favorite books for 2018.
