About this ebook

Life is rough when you’re gorgeous, rich, talented and so sexy that the media won’t leave you alone.

It’s certainly the truth in Christian Lasher’s case. He returns to the neighborhood of his childhood to escape the spotlight, hungering for a change in his creative endeavors. In the midst of his soul searching he meets Megan and is captured by the tantalizing hint of her hidden fires. Megan knows nothing about his wild, rebellious youth or his career as a rock star—and Christian would prefer to keep it that way.

There was much, much more to her than the role of a fragile victim.

Megan Shreve is a sculptor with creative depths and passions that tragedy had forced into the shadows. When she looks into Christian’s eyes she sees herself for the first time as an exciting, sexy woman. She longs to discover more of herself in Christian’s arms and in his bed.

Two passionate souls destined for one another—unless the stifling roles imposed by tragedy and fame rip them apart.

    Good story, good writing, but here's my big issue... Christian is a DICK! I don't give a crap what personal demons you're battling or what fears you're harboring, if you are going to bother to go slow and worry about the virgin's feelings, even saying no to sex for fear of taking things too fast and freaking her out... and then finally, FINALLY, she trusts you enough to give herself to you... for the love of all that's holy, do NOT end her first time by throwing on your pants and walking out, leaving her vulnerable and naked on the couch. NO, CHRISTIAN! NO!

    UGH!! And yes, they worked it out, but damn... I'm not sure if I was happy about it by then, because I was still mad that he screwed up in such a monumental way. I'm STILL mad!

    Bad, rocker... bad, bad rocker!

    This wasn't really my kind of thing, but it was okay. I like a little more meat with my potatoes, and I felt a bit as though there was more stuff I wanted to see, but it was a pleasant rainy day read.

    Christian Lasher is the lead singer of a very popular and successful hard rock band. Despite his fame and good fortune, he wants to take his music in a different direction. Needing time to decompress and think things through, he escapes from LA and returns to his childhood roots in Chicago, where he finds something more to soothe his soul.

    Megan Shreve is a talented artist and sculptor. Her gentle and shy nature sparks Christian's interest in her. His words set her body aflame and she longs to explore the passion he brings forth in her. Things seem to be going in Christian's favor until Megan's sister tries to warn him off and discloses a horrible secret about Megan.

    Christian isn't characterized like the typical rock star – a man whore with a revolving door to his bedroom. He's actually very intelligent and well versed in many different things. I really liked that about his character. I constantly waited for the other shoe to drop, like he's too good to be true. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that Megan had never heard of his music before or knew exactly who he was. But since this story seems to revolve around a common parish, I was surprised that it never got brought up in front of Megan. He had a few secrets of his own, but they weren't nearly as bad as Megan's sister made them out to be.

    I really liked Megan. Her inexperience with men, only to be confronted with the attentions of someone like Christian made her kind of adorable. I can't say that I liked her mother or sister. Her mother lived in serious denial (and shame?) and her sister was a mother hen. I can't fathom that they didn't realize what their actions were doing to Megan.

    Their chemistry was sweet, smoldering at times, and I loved the way they eased into their romantic relationship and dealt with the bumps along the way. A beautiful story. My first Beth Kery book and I'll definitely read more of her work.
