everything Christopher isn’t. And he definitely doesn’t want her
on his tour.
But one night changes everything. For the first time in his life,
Christopher Mason becomes sure of one thing, and it’s the one
thing he’s tried so hard to push away.
REVIEW: This can be considered a contemporary romance
between a rock star and an up & coming rock star that hated
each other and fell in love.
The relationship between Christopher & Mia was definitely not
your ordinary girl meets boy, hates boy, they find a common
bond and fall in love. Christopher was a troubled soul who is
tormented by a childhood trauma and he discovered by being
with Mia that his fears slowly dissipated, and slowly his defenses
came down and they fell in love.
This is not your typical love story, there are twists and a crisis
that tests their love for each other. There were times that I
felt the story dragged, but made up for it in different intervals
of their relationship. I found myself hating Christopher, but
understanding him as he tried different ways to get Mia to hate
him and leave the tour they were on together, but strangely she
grew to understand him and his issues and this led to them
getting closer and being together.
hounds than concede he is enchanted by Elisande’s caramelcolored locks and feisty manner. After all, she is intended for
his volatile older brother. Besides, Elisande’s unusual ideas
and strange convictions are dangerous and he doesn’t need
more trouble.
REVIEW: Lady Elisande escapes her family home after she’s
accused of witchcraft by her step mother and her forced upon
betrothed. Both are truly evil and deserve whatever they get
in revenge. Help comes in the form of Aeden who was sent
by her Aunt Onora. All’s well until she’s forced to deal with
Aeden’s brother Addis and the return of the ones she thought
she’d escape from. It was a good read. The people you need
to like, you liked. And the ones you despised, you despised
whole-heartedly. It had a little bit of everything and definitely a
good read and you won’t be disappointed.

This is a edgy love story and there is a sequel, Stellar Evolution.
It is a story worth reading.
