I opened the second book of this series invested in the characters because they were in the first book, Sing Your Heart Out. Kara is Meg's best friend and Drew is in the band as the guitarist. He's Kara's other best friend. I was excited about learning more about them and if I'm honest, a little worried because as a reader sometimes, you get so involved then you read the story for the characters and it falls flat. I was thankful that didn't happen in this book. Crystal Kaswell brought all the hotness from the first book and turned it up to scorching. What she does so well with them (Besides the hotness of course) is she makes them real. They have real fears and real worries and ugly part to their pasts. They are far from perfect. Her characters have went through things and are beautiful in their imperfections. I love that. I grasp onto that. The heart and soul in the first two books made me care for them and want them to find their happily ever after. I laughed with them and I cried with them. Those emotions mean so much to me as a reader and I'm grateful she brought them out.
How she described band life is also perfect. How do I know? I've been around bands...I even lived with a band. Bandmates aren't always happy with each other. There is drama and people are always in each other's private lives. I'm glad she didn't make it all roses because it's not. I would be very surprised to find that she hadn't been around bands and how they work because she writes it so well.
I love her side characters. She has successfully hooked me in for the next books. I can not wait to read Tom and Pete's stories. I really have no complaints about this book. I loved every minute of reading it.
I recommend this book for anyone who loves romance and if you haven't read band romance, this is a good place to start. It will make you have high expectations. The only ones who should not read this book are children because of those very steamy, hot naughty scenes.
