Then she sees it. A magazine, left behind in class. A simple picture—just his face. And it changes everything.
It’s been a year since she’s seen Daltrey Ransome. A year since he and his brothers left town to pursue their dreams of rock and roll superstardom. A year since he left Daisy behind—left her to watch as everything she knew crumbled around her. She’s been running from Daltrey ever since, desperate to keep her secret.
But she can’t run anymore. And now that Daltrey has found her—the girl he’s loved his entire life, the girl he’d give up everything for—he’s determined never to let her go again.
**The first book in a brand new series from USA Today bestselling author Rachel Schurig. This New Adult Contemporary Romance novel is a complete story with no cliffhanger.
This story was not what I was expecting. Typically rocker stories are all about the sex, drugs/alcohol, more sex and, well…rock and roll. This story was more cute than sexy and the music seemed to take a back seat to the their story…Daisy and Daltrey. What happened that drove them apart and can they find their way back to their friendship…to each other…to something more?
I loved that the story started out from his POV as a little kid. He was adorable – I know adorable is not the word you use for sexy rock star, but he was just that – adorable. I wish honestly, there had been a prequel or novella to give us more insight into Daisy and Daltrey as kids, I felt like I could have read more about that.
Then story then picks up years later with Daisy, and she’s not the same little girl we met in the prologue. I know, I know you are thinking…cue the broken girl with the sad story, and you are right. But somehow, for some reason I was able to look passed it with this one. I didn’t focus on it, I just wanted to see her find herself again. Does that mean she didn’t make me crazy at times? No.
Maybe it’s all the Ransome brothers in total that made it easier to take. 4 brothers that make up the band, Cash the typical playboy, Reed and Lennon who seemed a bit more in the middle from the happy playboy to the brooding Daltrey. Enough personality to keep the story moving. Do I sometimes wish we had gotten to hear more of Daltrey’s perspective? Yes, but I also think it would have left less to wonder about – though to be honest, it was fairly obvious to me what was happening and nothing really surprising happened for my read through.
This was a quick, fun read that I rolled through it one sitting. I loved Daltrey and Lennon and I’m hoping to read more about them someday.
That’s the one thing I would say…this story could have used an epilogue. I felt like we didn’t get a ton of time with these two and I needed a little more to make me feel complete. I know this is the first in a series, but there is no cliffhanger so I’m assuming book two will be another brother (LENNON, Please let it be Lennon!)…so with that being said, I wanted to see something a little more from these two.
They’ve been a part all this time and we only got a brief glimpse into what their life will be like.
All in all it was a cute read. I’d definitely read the next when looking for something lighter!
Here’s the quote I pulled that really stuck with me:
“I had come to think of all humans as cruel, as calculating and selfish, to be feared and never trusted…[ ]…It’s not every day someone so completely restores your faith in humanity.”
