Kylie Scott knows how to write a rock star hero. She writes the broody ones, she writes the goofy ones that are my favorite, she writes them all. In this story we get the broody one for our hero with the goofy one for his band-mate. In a way this was a little bit simpler story than others by this author. Not in a bad way. And not saying that the characters had nothing going on. Both had issues in their pasts that made them understandably reluctant to get into a new relationship. I loved the small town, and the people and the way they were willing to take in Garrett and make him a part of their family. I also liked the way he was able to see them for the good people they were and give them a chance, as well as jumping in and becoming a bigger part of the town and helping in the ways he could.

While things did seem to move a little quicker than would be expected, even when they said they were taking things slow, it mostly worked for me. I mean even if Ani was a little younger, Garrett had enough experience and had already had the love of his life and knew what he wanted his life to be like. So when he found someone that made him feel things again, want to be alive and part of the world again, he knew to give in and be a part of it all.

I don’t know that we’ll get stories for other members of this band that was possibly getting back together in the end, but there are some good characters if so. Especially since Smith is thinking of moving there himself. And I’d read them all! Even if one of the band members was kind of a jerk to Ani, so he’ll have to redeem himself.
