Karen Booth is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Bring Me Back. Claire Abby is a music critic and single mom, who gets not only a killer assignment but the chance to meet a British rock legend and the man of her teenage fantasy in one fell swoop. Claire meets Christopher Penman and her world changes. While he makes her work to get him to open up, eventually Claire gets enough to write a killer story for Rolling Stone – and seems to capture Chris’s attention as well. Once she returns home to North Carolina a long-distance relationship starts between the two. But could their relationship ever work? Claire lives a normal life raising her seventeen year old daughter and striving to improve her writing career, and Chris is followed by paparazzi and working on a new album. But now that Claire has had Chris in her life, can she really pretend she hasn’t?
I had a lot of fun reading this book. Claire was very easy for me to relate to even though she is forty and I am twenty-five, and I often actually thought she was even younger! She was down to earth, a great mom, and someone just trying to stay afloat in the game of life. The chemistry between her and Chris heated up the pages, and I was really fascinated by their relationship and how people with two very different lives could possibly make it work. Sometimes the book stretched a bit long for me, but I still recommend this book, especially if you are a music fan!
