Tattooed singer Jared Cross has a new girl every week, but when he catches Maddie playing one of his songs, she attracts his attention in an unexpected way. His band needs a fourth member for The Sound, a reality TV show competition—and he wants her. Though Maddie refuses to be another notch on Jared’s bedpost, she agrees to risk everything for the chance to be a rock star.
Once on the show, Maddie discovers there’s more to Jared behind his flirty smile, and with each performance their attraction becomes impossible to ignore. When the show pressures Jared to flaunt his player image, they’re forced to keep their relationship secret, but Maddie can’t help but want something real.
As the competition heats up, Jared will do whatever it takes for his band to win, and Maddie must decide if following her dream is worth losing her heart.
More Than Music, that's what this story was about...more than just the music and Chasing the Dream.
Maddie is a self-proclaimed geeky piano playing girl who also knows her way around a violin and a clarinet. But there's a part of her heart that knows she wants more than just a classical piano playing lifestyle.
Enter her friend Kyle who plays in a band. A band that just so happens will need some musical assistance for their audition on "The Sound" (read The Voice).
The downfall is the ridiculous crush Maddie has on the band's lead singer and Kyle's brother, Jared. "How were normal girls like myself supposed to touch the sun without getting burned?"
This book had a lot of music references, which was cool but the predictability of it made it a little hard for me to give it more than three stars.
After all was said and done, it was a quick read...I read it in one sitting and will probably read the follow up. I think I needed an epilogue in this story too though because I was left feeling like the wrap it all up in a pretty bow came a little too soon.
