This is not your typical rock star romance. For one, the “rock star” is a rapper. And not just any rapper. Trace is the hottest ticket in the music industry right now, regardless of which definition of ‘hot’ you choose.
Taryn Starr is not the girl-next-door who unknowingly meets a celebrity. Known as “America’s Sweetheart,” the reigning country music princess and world-renowned superstar knows exactly who Trace is…or does she?
Their worlds collide when the musicians whose paths were never destined to cross are forced by their joint record label to collaborate on a song. The sparks fly and ignite a fire that blazes hotter with every minute they spend together—for better or worse. One thing’s for certain, the two media magnets can’t deny their explosive chemistry, but will life in the spotlight ultimately bring Trace and Taryn together or force them apart?
Where do I start? This book was so completely not what I expected. This book was so much better than I could have imagined!!!
If you are thinking this is going to be you typical famous person/rock star book
I was pleasntly surprised when it wasn't.First of all you have Taryn (Taralyn) Starr, she is a sweet, innocent girl from Texas. She is "America's Sweet Heart", an image her mom/manger pushes down everyone's throats (she makes you think of Kris Jenner...yuck). Taryn just wants to be herself. An normal girl from Texas who loves to make music.
Then there is Trace. Yep, he goes by one name. He is a hot rap star. Winning Grammy awards, getting all sorts of trouble, partying, women.. you name it.
Trace portrays himself as a tough guy, needing no one. He has his group of friends he considers family.
So when the record company think Trace needs his image cleaned up/worked on a little, they want him to do a collaboration with America's Sweetheart!! There is nothing better than getting some good free publicity. Two of the biggest names in music working together for a new song! Their collaboration is going to be a huge success. Everyone can see that! Although that does not mean that Trace and Taryn are happy about it.
When the 2 of them are made to work together, not only do they make beautiful music, they also start to see the other for more than their public persona. Trace and Taryn get to know and see the real person the other can be. Sparks fly. Their relationship develops. They start off as friends. There are texting and calls.
Things get steamy when Trace and Taryn make their music video together. All their built up feeling and emotions are set loose. It get hot and steamy real quick. From that moment on, the book takes turn into the life life of 2 famous people.
There seems to be many factors trying to keep these two apart. If you are thinking that race comes into play, you are 100% ......wrong. The authors are brilliant in not making their races an issue. The real issues are what we all seem to feel at one
point in our lives. Insecurity, rumors, trust, and even family.
I thought this book was breathe of fresh air! If you are looking for something original, this is the book for you!
