Make My Heart Sing
Han Jae-Wook is the SBG member who most personifies duality. On stage, Wook is a powerful singer and sexy dancer, a handsome guy whose long legs and beautiful voice make fangirls swoon. But get him off stage and he’s the quietest, shyest member of one of South Korea’s biggest bands. And for months he’s had a secret crush on a barista who works in the coffee shop located in the same building as SBG’s dorm, but he’s barely been able to talk to her beyond placing his frequent tea orders.
Ki Min-Ah has been a fan of Wook’s for the entirety of SBG’s history, but she doesn’t let even a hint of that slip when he comes into Tower Coffee and Bakery. So when he starts talking to her more, making overtures of friendship, she’s stunned. But she’s willing to bury the fangirl part of herself and be his friend because she gathers that it’s difficult for him and other idols to make real friends other than other entertainers. But she has to keep their budding friendship secret so she doesn’t endanger her job since there is a policy of no interaction with idols other than professionally. And she can’t afford to lose her job when she’s the sole support for her three younger siblings.
But when it’s exposed they have been spending time together, they must weather fan suspicion that she’s just after his money and fame as they also realize they both want to be more than friends.

Sweet romance
I loved this second book of the series. It had a realistic view what it like to fall in love. Just because it happened to be a Kpop idol made it more precious. Can’t wait to start the next book in her series. Love Trish Milburn!

I love that Wook was next in line after giving Hajoon such a hard time about Jenna lol! Also Jenna: How much goji berry tea does one person need? :D Wook and Min-Ah are so sweet together and she tries so hard not to impose on him and treat him like a normal person, despite all the challenges in her life. Manager Go is still awful, but everyone works around him! I also liked Wook's relationship with his mother and her personality. I'm loving this series!

Second book in the An Idol in Love series wherein we have another member of this lovely kpop group fall in love! This time it's shy boy Wook and the girl who works at the coffee shop in the building where he lives. Adorable!

3.5 K Pop love Stars
This one felt a little bit more like I expected. How it would be difficult for a non celebrity to be with a big celebrity.
Still they are short and leave a lot out, they’re still
Fun. On to the next…

A very cute and easy read. This series so far is giving wattpad (complementary) in a somewhat comforting way. It’s predictable without being dull and is somewhat reminiscent of reading One Direction fanfictions when I was in high school. 3.5 rounded up.
