Charlie Jones & Me: Can their love survive his fans?

by Zoe Finnigan

For lovers of dreamy-eyed singers with hearts of gold, Charlie Jones is ready to make you swoon.

Heera has worked with celebrities for years as a ghostwriter, turning their stories into bestselling memoirs. But she has never written for a man before, let alone one of the biggest names in pop music. So when Charlie Jones requests to meet her, she is skeptical. But who can resist a man this charismatic, attractive and ... well, nice?

She's a professional though - if anything happens between Heera and Charlie, her reputation will be ruined. Not to mention how his millions of fans would react to Charlie dating a 'normie' who is older than him, barely wears makeup and comes from a completely different world.

Is the spark between them doomed to fail? Or could this be the real thing, what Heera has been waiting for her whole life?

I'm all for reading a book with a "culturally diverse" protagonist, however, what I don't appreciate when I read a book, is having this modern-day talking point or any other favoured Politically Correct propaganda being passively aggressively thrown into the novel, in order to sway my opinion or point of view. She's of Indian descent? Gorgeous. Do I need to hear about how hard that is in life for her? no! We all have our cross to bear for some issue or another.

Was it a strongly written novel? No, I don't think so. Heera was wishy-washy and insecure, to the point of being annoying. Charlie was written to be too good to be true, unnaturally altruistic. Great that they sorted their issues from their history but rushed over so not to be "dealt with" effectively.

Something's missing from this book that some extra time would have been beneficial to helping with.

Good quick read

This book took me a few hours to read (read it during work) it was a good read. It does need some editing, I found a few duplicate words, or incorrect words in some places (back instead of black). They didn’t take away from the story but something I noticed while reading.

I enjoyed the writing, the build of the relationship and the characters. Reading the first spicy scene which was basically fade to black, compared to more details in next scenes, you could see the author getting more confident in writing those types of scenes.

I enjoyed the characters in this romance and their struggle to build a relationship while dealing with Charlie's fame and everything that goes with it. The choice of making Heera a ghostwriter for celebrity memoirs gave the author a great chance to have them both share things about their lives rather quickly and helped them understand who each of them really was.

I liked the general premise of this book. I think more dialog between the characters would have been helpful and maybe some viewpoints from the MMC. It seemed a little rushed, like there needed to be more development of the characters.

I love a good relationship struggle. The Mmc has to grovel and the fmc takes time to try to figure it all out. I had hoped that Herra and Grant would end up together. The struggle to find their way to each other is always my favorite part.

I enjoyed this book for the most part. I believe it could be made into a longer book with more conversations between all the characters. it is Otherwise well written.. 3.5 🌟
