The characters in this novel intrigue me. As a reader you get to know them quite well. Interestingly enough, the characters don’t get to know each other nearly as well. It adds for some very unique interactions. I also appreciate how unique the characters are, while still being very real individuals. You can’t help but love them and want them to succeed. Also, because we get to know the characters so much better than they know themselves and they know each other you can see where things will go wrong, and how to fix them.
I appreciate the minimal cast of characters in this short novella. Because they are so well developed and loveable they are able to carry the story themselves. It also gives Briggs a lot more time and space to develop this very interesting story. The fluid descriptions in this novel bring everything to light in vivid clarity and draw the reader further and further in to the storyline.
This novella captured my attention in the beginning and kept me captivated throughout. I can’t believe how much Briggs packed into this novella, and how well it was done. Above all, I can’t wait to see what happens to our star-crossed lovers in the sequel.
Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Indi Day needed to escape from her painful past while Grey Bailey needed time alone to figure something’s out before the announcement of his upcoming nuptials. Will Indi let down her guard enough to let Grey in? Will their holiday affair turn out to be true love or will it end in disaster?
Even though the book started off slow for me once I actually got into it I enjoyed it. And just when things were getting interesting the book ends leaving you wanting more. I am looking forward to see what is in store for Indi and Grey in the next book, Muse.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
I loved it tells u about their lives but not in to much detail so that u have to use your imagination not too much sex .. I love it couldn't put it down
I won a copy of this book on a goodreads giveaway and i'm super excited to win it!!
It sounds amazing!!!!!!
When this book arrived in the post, I was super excited! It's only a small book with less than two hundred pages, which makes for an easy read.
First of all, the spelling and grammer wasn't incredible! It was extremely noticeable but I haven't regarded that whilst rating the overall book.
The character of Indi is just incredible, she's been badly hurt in the past and has very little trust for men, particularily strangers. The story is an endearing one that allows her to grow and develop as a woman and to once again, allow herself to trust other people. Grey's character angered me. He seemed very egotistical, he pretty much loved himself and had very little respect for women or his fiance.
Both characters had a missing element in their lives and I absolutely loved the connection that linked Indi and Grey together; she being a student of music and him being a rockstar! I absolutley loved watching both characters relationship blossom as well as their personalities.
overall opinion of the book is:
Love the plot, love the characters of Indi and Grey, loved that it made for a quick and easy read and the cover was adorable. Not too hot on the spelling or grammer though!
As for the following books of the series, this one was a good enough read so yes, I would definately consider reading them.
I might have made a mistake of reading this not long after the great Sinners and Sole Regret of Olivia Cunnings world therefore I was rather disappointed. I had a few Issues!
1) The spelling and Grammar were awful and that's coming from a dyslexic! Have a word with the Proof reader or invest in spell check professional!
2) I had a hard time imagining Grey as some big Rock Star. He speech was stilted and made him sound like a professor rather than a young hip musician.
3) The length of the story and the cut off point. I don't know why it is split into 3. This however has the effect of I didn't really get to know the characters nearly well enough to give a damn about reading the next 2 parts to finish the story.
The book started off slow for me and it seemed to be rush in their meetings. As the book went on the story seem to develop and make an interesting story. Both of them seem to have a of my problems. I want to see what happens.
God where to start with this book, along with the crap load of spelling errors, grammar mistakes and coming off a high from the Queen of rockstar books (Olivia Cunning) this was difficult to rate and even finish, such a shame because it could've been a really good book..
Really it was just OK, dont think i'd read any more in the series though!I did not feel any real emotions coming through the book, it did not grip me and i love these types of rock star books!
