Except for the gigantic skip in time at the end of this novel, the plot was perfect and the conclusion was even better. I recommend this novel to adults who enjoy rock stars and romance. Oct 28, Kim rated it really liked it. But the story line was one that kept me reading, I was certainly curious about how this story would play out, or what happened to Sydney, why was Ben pulled to this uptight woman? This book made me want to shake Syd, she could be so frustrating at times. But that could be exactly what the author was going for?
If she was, she achieved that goal with me. The romance aspect of this book was beautiful and sweet and I really wanted Syd to be open to a relationship with Ben and just be, but the way this story evolved and how these 2 main characters handled the ups and downs, it just turned me off to it.
This book was gifted to me and so in return I wanted to leave an honest review. I am marking this as a 4 star review on Goodreads and Amazon, but my actual rating will be a 3.
Sep 01, Lisa rated it liked it. I'm not sure if that's a fair assessment, but this event was so This is the second book of Ann Lister's I have read, this one following Sheet Music. I'm not sure if that's a fair assessment, but this event was so unexpected and so not what I wanted it colored my point of view and the fact that Ben could so quickly forgive Sydney is just too unrealistic which made my "like" for this book somewhat shift.
This is still a good book that I enjoyed reading. I would have loved more mention of Michael and Anna from Sheet Music, but when they were finally mentioned, it was at the pivotal, make my stomach hurt, moment and I didn't get to "reminisce" and enjoy the memories of those characters.
Jan 26, Jane rated it did not like it Shelves: dnf , i-hate-the-h , pure-crap. She is such a -itch! She makes me cringe with her attitude towards Ben. She doesn't even give the guy the benefit of the doubt he may be telling the truth about things just assumes he saying them to get in her pants. How conceited can one chick be? I understand she has had others famous people hit on her but when you its your job to take pictures of people, you'd think you would be NICE to them so they dont fire your ass and possibly I have started this book, but am only on page 17 and HATE Syd.
I understand she has had others famous people hit on her but when you its your job to take pictures of people, you'd think you would be NICE to them so they dont fire your ass and possibly ruin your career. If you honestly feel like you have stayed 7 years to long in that side of photography you should've gotten out before you become this jaded horrible person. I have read the reviews and think this book would be worth the read but right now, I am so irritated by Syd that I have to stop.
Maybe I'll try again, when I have nothing else to read but for now, I am done with Syd. Nov 01, Tabitha R rated it really liked it. Sydney was a women with a traumatic past and Ben was a man ready to break through that wall. I think the author did a great job in telling of the development of their relationship. Although at times I thought Sydney was going a bit too far, with the telling of her past, it helped excuse that fact.
The author made Ben the perfect fit for Sydney and made him patient and loving. Only drawback that I just didn't see coming or how it even fit with the way the author made Sydney personality was that 3 year thing. All in all it was a nice read and the author did a nice job in telling the story through the end.
Which sucks, because I love the men she writes! Ben was pretty damn awesome. Dec 15, Liz rated it really liked it. I quite enjoyed this book. The story of Sydney Williams and her developing relationship with rock star Ben. Sydney appears as an ice queen to the band after a terrible incident in her younger years.
Ben is keen to know her. A terrible misunderstanding and an unfortunate secret causes problems. I loved this story and Ben, Sydney on the other hand did something terrible to Ben and I struggled to understand why. Great story. Oct 28, Rachel Caplinger rated it really liked it. Another great one by Ann Lister! Rock'N'Roll, love, steam, drama, and action nothing shows more passion than music and the people behind it. Ann has an amazing way of pulling you into a story and making it feel like it actually happened!
Spanning over long periods of time, she allows to have the story really develop rather than having insta love connections that in the real world normally don't work out x I am really looking forward to the next one! Apr 17, CJ Blake rated it liked it Shelves: adults-only , romance.
I enjoyed this book and it was definitely a page turner but, I was disappointed with Sydney our heroine who was just a little to wishy washy for my taste. I like a strong female lead who knows what she wants and goes for it. Sydney's insecurities started to really bug me and it is why I am giving this book 3 stars.
Mar 04, Rosalind rated it it was amazing. Sometimes, you fall into a book. This one came about because someone in a book club thank you Sian posted a description and could not remember the title. Others responded and I checked it out and what a gem. Wonderful story. Read the synopsis, a very good book, and please do not be put off by the beginning with Sydney being a total ice queen, she had her reasons.
Apr 26, Banrigh rated it really liked it. Start to warm towards her: THEN….. End of story: Happy for her. BEN: First impression: awwwwww!!! Middle of story: awwwww!! End of story: what a guy!!! Story has lots of emotional scenes….. Mar 08, Staphysagria rated it really liked it. I enjoyed the personality of the photographer- a very vivid image. The dialogues at the beginning of the book where she hates everybody on the bus are funny and witty. The story will leave you aching for an encore!

And this is where I will leave you to discover the rest. The friendship, the developing romance, the misunderstandings, the betrayals, and the big bad secret that had me fuming…. I love how the author takes her time with her story, and allows the reader to experience every aspect of it.
But I feel the need to be honest in regards to another aspect of her writing. Really just… disappointed. Still though… would I recommend it?
