I really wanted to like this book. The beginning was so promising that I thought that it could be the next Wallbanger. Unfortunately, this did not happen.
My major problem with Someone To Love was Cruise's voice. It did not sound like a guy's POV to me. While Kendall was bouncing between entertaining and sometimes annoying, Cruise just sounded like a girl. When I read chapters written from his POV, I couldn't believe it's a guy's voice. Or well, I must be used to the macho guys too much :-)
Crusie fell in love with Kendall way too quickly, right while discussing that he'd never love again. And I couldn't understand why. Kendall swore off love, but from the first time she met Crusie, she wants him for herself hoping for something deeper than a one night stand.
It's definitely a story of lust at first sight. About the love part, it wasn't too convincing for me. Maybe because I did not feel any kind of emotional connection with either Cruise or Kendall. Or my expectations were too high.
However, this book was not bad. It's simple and could be enjoyable as light beach read. Also, Addison Moore has a great way with words, and her editor did a good job.

I totally agree with you. I have just started and I got the feeling every time I read the guys pov it's a girl. I was looking for something enjoyable and light to read... I guess it could be it, but so far haven't seen any of my expectations on the main characters (I need more actually)

I don't think there is another "Wallbanger" out there. However, I am reading a book that has a similar vibe. It's "Searching for Neverland" by Monica Alexander. I really love it.
