My Review:
This was the second in the Rockstar Romance Trilogy and what a fun read it was! It felt good to reconnect with Sophie Penhalligan and her friends, Rachel and Dan, get to know her thunder and lighning man, Steve, and meet her new friends from the island!
The storyline was well thought out and took us to places I hadn't expected to go....as in the betrayal. I wasn't expecting that and the weekend excursion that went so wrong? Wasn't expecting that either! But it all made for a cohesive plot and a story worth the tell! I love when characters in a story are humanly flawed and yet forgivable. Ms Wells definitely provides the reader with well defined characters which reflect human frailties and realities.
And once again, I find myself wishing my life away. I will be anxious to read the third in the trilogy, Sophie's Encore come September 2013. Are you going to join me? Thanks Nicky for such an excellent follow up!
