Jena Maxwell heads to the La Paloma ranch for summer while her parents are in Europe. While there, she meets Eric Bliss, and love begins to develop between them. However, little does Jena know, Eric is actually Eric Clayton, a member of the famous rock band The Ravens. What will happen when his true identity is revealed to her?

If I found out I was dating a rich rock star, I wouldn't mind at all! Lol. This was harmless teen romance fluff. There's not much else to say about it than that. I liked the supportive friendship between Jena and Susan. There isn't a whole lot of depth, but it's only a short 165 pages, so everything is quick and sweet. Gosh, how did teen romance work before the advent of mobile phones? Jena and Eric could have avoided much heartache if they'd had the technology!

This is a book I would have loved as a teen. It is exactly what I would have read! How (as a 16 year old) can you resist riding a black stallion on the beach with a gorgeous cowboy turned rock star. :) This was given to my teenage daughter to read and so I read it first to see what was in it. She will like it, but probably in a year or two. She just barely turned 13 and isn't really into boys yet (thankfully). All though this is a pretty clean read there is still lots of kissing involved. Now, as an adult this story was kind of blah. It definitely reminded me how grateful I am that I am no longer a teen. LOL Young love is so sweet, but can be so painful. It was fun to bounce back to my childhood dreams, but how grateful I am that reality is even better sometimes than dreams of my youth.

Driven by my Sweet Dreams craziness, I hunted down this book in our school library. It doesn't disappoint, though. I like the flow of the story. There's this kind of barrier between Jena and Eric that will be broken down in the end of the story. Similar to Too Good to be True, the music scene makes the story more interesting. I like it because it's like Hannah Montana(my all-time fave show): Eric leads a double life, while underneath all the zeppelin and heavy metal, he's a normal, down-to-earth, almost-perfect guy. This book isn't a waste. :)

Its a really old book. I really enjoyed the setting of the story which was out on a ranch where there is horses and beaches. I enjoyed the characters and the whole plot of the book. You get left at every chapter wanting to read on and you will love it if you enjoy romantic, mushy love stories (:

Not too bad. A neat story with a never ending, ending.

Nice book

Probably my favourite one so far as I reread this series. I liked the ranch setting, I liked the secret rock star hook and I liked the characters who were mature and built a relationship over time. A quick easy read and one of the better Sweat Dreams stories.
