I'm new to Tina's writing, but when I found out that she was doing a rockstar romance, I needed it in my hands like yesterday. And Vaughan.. damn, did that man not disappoint!! He's so hilarious, and yes cocky, but so damn sweet too!
Coming off of realizing that his bandmate (hid best friend) has been sleeping with his girlfriend, Vaughan makes a social media post, that like the book suggests, goes viral. Thanks to this, he is blowing up all over the internet, and he gets a meeting with one of the biggest record companies in New York. The only drawback is that he has to give one more performance with his former band, and as we all know, that's a disaster in the making.
In walks Gillian, who's father owns the record label that Vaughan is now apart of. She sees something more in him than she thinks even he realizes, and goes to transform him in a big way. That scene where she finds him in the park, singing Hallelujah, gave me CHILLS because I could just picture that so well.
Immediately there's an insane attraction between these two, and even though Gillian presents herself as all business and no-nonsense, Vaughan sees a fire in her, and wants to witness that spark finally ignite. He knows she's beautiful, but because of the music industry, Gillian has learned not to dress in a way that shows off her body, and I love how that isn't what drew Vaughan in. It was all her. *swoons.*
I never once thought of Gillian as cold, or unfeeling, even if at times she didn't understand her own feelings and reactions towards Vaughan. Growing up the way she did, with a gather that was emotionally unavailable towards her, she didn't know to navigate that side of her. And even thoufb Vaughan was just betrayed, he showed her what it means to feel, to love, and do it so passionately. I loved their relationship so much!!❤❤
Even if you've never read a book by this author before, read this!! It is so wonderful!!
Side note: I'm hoping we will be getting stories of the rest of the characters too. Especially Nico! Because people DO care about the bass player!😉
**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions!**
