23676345Sometimes when you fall, you land just where you need to be…

Gwen Tennison got out of Afghanistan alive but scarred–and then got stuck on her sister’s couch. When she’s offered a job managing the U.S. tour for rock music’s hottest, most troubled star, it seems like just the thing to snap her out of her post-injury funk. Her instructions are simple: start the shows on time, and keep him clean.

But Lucas Wheeler may be more than she can handle. Though he’s drug-free, he still feels the need, and his gorgeous, capable new tour manager is a challenge he can’t ignore. Fame and infamy have forced Lucas to protect his heart, but soon he finds himself craving Gwen’s touch, and yearning to give her control. And Gwen might feel the same way.

But it’s not just the mutual heat between them that is keeping Gwen on her toes. Someone is following Lucas from city to city. With more than just her job on the line Gwen must decide how much she’s willing to risk to keep Lucas safe.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

2.5 Cocktails

I did not know what to expect when I started reading this book. I wanted a rock romance and I was hoping this would satisfy me. It did in a way but not the way I was hoping. I am all for a strong woman character. I love them. But I guess I am old school and want the hero to be the male in the story. Gwen is a war hero and once she is home she finds herself in a rut. Her sister helps her out with a job becoming the manager of a rock star named Lucas Wheeler. Now he is a character with so many issues. He is a recovering drug addict who also has a stalker. Gwen is more a babysitter than a manager for him. Some of the story got lost on me. And I could just not get into the love story between Gwen and Lucas.
