For Now

by Kylee Richards

Elaina Roberts works at her aunt's bar. When her aunt runs into financial trouble that puts the bar at risk, Elaina knows that she needs to find a way to help her. Her aunt took her in after her parents and brother died. An opportunity of a lifetime presents itself one night at the bar.
Camden Michaels is the personal assistant for rock star Ryder Kinick. After a bar fight leaves a man in a coma, Camden needs to find a way to fix Ryder's image. Ryder needs to be seen with a good girl to prove that he can tame his wild ways. When Camden and Ryder walk into Elaina's bar, they find the solution to their problems. Elaina must go on tour with Ryder and play the part of his girlfriend and Elaina's money problems will be over.
Elaina and Camden quickly form a connection that neither of them expects. Since everyone believes that Elaina is dating Ryder, they are forced to start a secret relationship. The connection that they feel will have to be enough until the tour ends. If they can survive the pressure of her having to be seen with Ryder, having to hide their love and their upcoming separation at the end of the tour, it just might be enough to make it forever.

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed reading this story. It was such a super cute romantic love story. Not the typical she falls for the bad boy story.

Elaina and Cam were so cute together. You could feel the connection between them from the start. The little day trips together were super cute and romantic, something any girl would dream of. Cam was defiantly a perfect book boyfriend.

I liked the secondary characters they really added to the story. Can't wait to read more. Really want to know what is up with Isabel and Ryder.

******* 3.5 SUGARY SWEET STARS *******

Ellie




Camden




If you're going to read my updates (reading progress) below, I was gushing about how interesting the book was. Interesting in a sense that I was intrigued as to what would happen next (the plot). The story also progresses fast so you won't likely abandon it out of boredom.

So why only 3.5 stars?
Here's why:

I am very particular with typographical errors. I don't know if this is some kind of a complex or what, but what I do know is that I couldn't stand them. They distract me and somehow cause me to lose "that mood" in my reading. I try my best to look past these typos if there were only a few, but I actually spotted a lot (for my standards). I understand that this is an ARC, so I believe, it's best to raise this concern. I think, it has something to do with the spelling checker/auto correct stuff. Nothing beats a human proofreader, so a lot of spelling errors are made. Aside from spelling errors, there are misplaced words. Sometimes, a word is also omitted and/or added to the sentence making grammar errors. And the use of proper punctuation! A period when it's supposed to be a question mark? I don't think they're interchangeable.

So excuse the Language Teacher in me (LOL), and let's move on to the GOOD stuff.

I like that the dialogues are just so natural. Cam and Ellie's love story is also realistic (overlooking the celebrity status). Less drama, less issues. I like that they follow the I-love-you-You-love-me-Let's-be-together mantra. The trauma/damaged heroine/panic attack sorts, aren't so original, but I'll look past those, and appreciate the fact that this is a sweet, short, light read. Cam is just so sweet, and Ellie (despite some of her issues) isn't too afraid to give her heart away.

I swear, all the characters here are good people. No villains! It's a good thing I guess. In the real world, most of our struggles are not brought about by other people but by ourselves or occurrences we have no control over.

Since this book is a part of a series, I like that the author doesn't give a lot of details about what's REALLY going on with Ryder and Isabel. They don't steal the limelight from Cam and Ellie. They'll have their own book anyway.

I get that my opinion might differ from other readers, so if you do not care much about spellings and all, and just looking for a sweet love story, this one's for you. You might even rate this five stars.

Awwwww. I actually loved this super sweet, adorable, feel-good story. Elaina has been through so much with losing her parents and brother. Having no other family, her "aunt" Karen brings her to Chicago. They struggle to make ends meet and Ellie continues to work at the bar Karen owns after she graduates from college. Enter Camden and Ryder. Ryder is a bad boy rocker with a need for cleaning up his public image. When Cam meets Ellie at the bar, he realizes she could help him with that. An arrangement is made and she gets ready to go on tour with the band. One thing leads to another and feelings develop and become very deep between Cam and Ellie. Of course, there's a problem - no one can know because she is Ryder's girlfriend. I love how sweet Cam is from the start. He is a wonderful friend and boyfriend. He arranges all sorts of things to make Ellie happy. Yes, sometimes sugary sweet can be awesome! Ellie has a big heart and only thinks of how she can help Karen. Amy is a kooky friend of Ellie's. Isabel is Cam's sister and I can't wait til more of this series comes out. I have plans to be glued to each one!

This is the first time I've read a book by this author and I have to say it was good! I only really had one problem and that's I wish it was longer! I was so engrossed in it I felt as soon as I started reading, i'd finished! (I did read it in one sitting.) Elaina has been through such a tragedy it's great to see her find love! You could feel the connection between her and Camden from the beginning. I feel that much more could have happened in this book. There could have been a little more angst and the battle between them fighting their feelings but all in all I really enjoyed it. Please say there's more coming from Ryder? I want to know the mystery of him and Isabel. Thanks for the copy :)

I was gifted an e-copy for an honest review.

Let me start off by saying that I did enjoy reading this. I enjoy reading anything. With that said, there was one thing I did not like. I understand that Ryder needed a way to better his reputation and I understand why they chose Elaina. What I did not like was that all the other girls Ryder was involved with were being put down, as if they weren’t worthy. If those girls loved following Ryder around and loved having their fun with him, then there is nothing wrong with that. Simply put, I didn’t like how the other girls were being treated. They, just like Elaina, are nice girls…who happen to like completely different things. But all in all, easy read, really liked the ending. It was very romantic—just how I like ‘em!

What a cute and fast read.

Elaina (Ellie) is asked to be in a (PR)elationship with a rock star but has her eye on his PA, Cam. I loved reading about the little day trips that Cam and Ellis went on together and seeing their relationship grow. It was a little angst-y here and there but I guess that's expected in this type of story. I would have given this book four stars but the overuse of commas and other punctuation in improper places really threw me off. (I highlighted a lot of them and had 27 highlights so if proper punctuation in a book isn't that big of a deal for you then you'll love this book regardless)

I really enjoyed this, it was a sweet and so adorable and just nice to read so.etjing different. It was fast paced so you don't get bored but it's not too fast so you can still connect with the characters. Came was so cute, from the beginning he would would do anything for Ellie and I just loved that he eats so thoughtful. I'm excited to read more in this series and from this author. I'm not too fused on the writing style and that's why it's not got the give stars from me.

This is the first book I have read by Ms. Richarda and I must say I liked it very much.It was a sweet book with a little bit of love, angst,and humor. Elaina has been through a great tragedy young in life and it left her with strong convictions which I admired. Her man,Camden Micheals is PA to rock star Ryder Kinick,watches after her when she agrees to play the role of Ryder's girlfriend. During this time they develop strong feelings for each other.The book is well written and kept my interest until the very end.

I received this book in return for my honest review.

I loved it, Camden and Elaina are so sweet together, and he was written to be such a great guy caring guy. I liked that she didn't fall for the rocker bad boy, it was refreshing.

Elaina has had suffered a terribly tragic event but manages to achieve a college degree and plan a career despite holding so much guilt with her.


I would be really interested to read Ryder and Isobel's story!! There is definitely something going on there.
