What I've been told time and time again is to read, read, read. But how was I going to do that if all I wanted to do was write, write, write?
I've found that despite my advanced years and a lot of travelling in my youth, I've never found time to rea...
As I get into it, I cannot fail to notice that it is well written, so I seem set to pick up only on the details.
I realise there are always going to be differences between the two English languages, so I will write the review here, then finish with the observations at the end.
Let's be off then? I am reading this with the Adobe Digital Editions application. Fall With Me came as one of three books in a set. 761 pages overall. The first surprise was that Fall With Me only took up 138 pages of that set. I can only wonder what awaits in Missing From Me and Lost For You.
Caged are Logan, Cameron, Christian and Sean, the homegrown, hometown band from Austin, Texas, are hometown boys. They like their beer cold, their women hot and take their music to the highest level. Never short of female company, there are always women/ladies/girls who want a backstage pass to see, touch, sleep or take a piece of Rockstar company. Caged are always happy to take what and who they want, whenever they want it. And that is their pulling power, that and their music of course, and their larger than life egos. They are on the way to the top risking their reputations for the music deal of a lifetime, and I have got to say that this is a great read.
Yes, it has a regular amount of sex, and it does deal with mature issues, but it's not torrid sex, for sex sake. It's well written, will appeal to the fantasies of the young and not so young, and the dreamers. The reader will be caught up in the tenderness woven throughout the storyline, a little fantasy and some heartbreak too. Do not doubt that there is story inside these pages because the author has written a fine romance here. A meets B, A and B have a great time, A falls out with B (or vice versa), A and B try to live without each other, A and B get back together, A and B live happily ever after.
Rockstar is quite brilliant, so different from the other members of the band. Logan calls him Wikipedia because of his brain power. Logan may be the easy lover, but Christian comes across as different. still working her degree and with not a lot of spare time on her hands. They've met before under different circumstances but even for a talented Rockstar, rarely does he come across women as brainy as he is, or with a secret has never had to deal with before. This is a fine romance for the young at heart and those who dream of going back one day. Christian and Melody, are well-written characters, both strong, both with their own plans for their futures. All they've got to do is work out is their room in their lives for each other. For it would mean giving up on her research and that is not an option. Christian has never met a girl like Melody, may never do so again, but if he is to have any long-term relationship with her, will it mean giving up a way of life, and his friends, all of whom he has known since school.
In 's world the media can make you or break you. They will mess with your head, your plans and your friends. Only Christian must decide how he is going to deal with it.
Here are two main characters whose descriptions really show off who they are. The author has given us plenty of narrative explanation so that the reader can learn, care, and understand what they stand for and how they have come to be at this stage in their lives. The bedroom action, and in the other places, is done lovingly, it's sensual and at times will grab your heart.
Heart-warming. This story also appeals to me because the of style in which it is written, the willingness of the author to go beyond the simple upper level of caring about number one first. From the start, it is written from the first point of view, a man's POV as well.
Some books really churn me up inside, as I find one error after another, and it sadly goes downhill from there. Other books can sweep me off my feet, especially when I am not a fan, or regular reader, of that genre. overall, the more I read Fall With Me, the less more relaxed I felt with the prose that lay before me.
Star value? 4.8 out of 5.
Just a couple of observations then:
Curious one this: "As I slipped in my earbuds, I noticed a girl two tables away juggling an armful of books and supplies. Losing the battle, the texts slipped from her grasp, crashing to the concrete floor. "Shit," she muttered."
The lady may have sworn to herself but two tables away? How did the narrator hear what was muttered? The important word here for me is muttered. So how about "Shit," she muttered. Softly said, but distinct enough for anyone paying attention to her, to have understood."
Blonde versus blond. Which do we use? Personally, I use the form blond to refer to a man or anything that be referred to in a male sense. Similarly, I use the form blonde to refer to a woman or anything that be referred to in a female sense. Therefore, I would not have written "she tucked a swath of blond hair behind her ear " but "she tucked a swath of blonde hair behind her (left or right) ear."
