Plebeian Series #1
Plebeian Revealed
No one was supposed to know who was in the rock band Plebeian.
That was the deal singer Lauren Logan made with her ex-boyfriend. After recording a movie soundtrack, they remained anonymous as a publicity stunt for the film. Staying under the radar was easy for Lauren, a loyal but self-doubting wife and mother living in Tampa, Florida. Her biggest challenge was choosing a dinner menu to satisfy her teenage boys and keeping the meal hot for when her workaholic husband wandered home. Until the day Academy Award nominations were announced. Suddenly, Plebeian was thrust on the world's stage, winning an Oscar for Best Original Song.
Sudden fame has brought Lauren things she didn't want. But it's also brought her someone she did: Andy Hayden, the man of her dreams. Now she has a red hot career with her ex-boyfriend, a husband who hasn't noticed, and a smoldering crush on a man she hasn't seen in years. Unfortunately, she also has a stalker who wants her to himself.
As she struggles between her obligations and following her heart, her stage fears begin to frustrate the band while danger follows her every move. Now she must fight for her happiness, her career...and her life.

What do you do when a tropical storm ruins a three-day weekend? You read an entire book in a day and this was an entertaining and quick read. I don’t usually read romance novels and this has a hint of romance...but not so much that it overpowers the story. Because much of the action takes place where I live, tried to figure out which restaurants might be the ones in the book.

I received Plebeian Revealed in a Goodreads giveaway in exchange for my honest review.
Unfortunately, I just couldn't get into Plebeian Revealed. It was well written, but the story just didn't do it for me. It was like the book was trying to be a romance and a mystery/thriller all in one, but those two sections just didn't seem to connect.
Lauren and Andy went to high school together and reconnect when Lauren becomes a hit sensation overnight. Lauren gets divorced and starts a relationship with Andy, moving in and falling in love in a blink of an eye. Everything is going fine and then suddenly a car crash ruins everything and Andy runs off. They end up getting back together and everything seems happily ever after and then some stalker comes out of the blue, someone we really hadn't met, until the end of the book. They overcome everything in the end to end happily ever after.
The story was good, but it just didn't connect to me. That doesn't mean some other reader won't love this book.

If you are interest in Rock-n-Roll, mystery and romance this is a series for you. You will come to love the character of this series since they are so realistic. I had a hard time putting down the book. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I recommend to my family and friends to read.

I received this book through goodreads giveaways for an honest review.
Plebeian Revealed didn't quite hook me. The writing was good. I really liked the idea, the beginning of the book, and the ending, but couldn't get into the middle - I kind of wanted to slap the characters then.
