Synopsis (Goodreads):
Zara Lorna is kind of a big deal. After winning Artist of the Year (again), having a public argument with her boyfriend (again), and being whisked away by a man she barely knows (that’s new), it feels like she can’t go anywhere without drawing attention. It’s taking a toll on her and she could use a break.Thoughts on Write or Wrong: Oh my goodness, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the XY Records books in the larger Common Threads series. The company is a messy (in a good way) tangle of found family and I LOVE THAT.
Deciding to spend some time out of the public eye, she moves to Chicago to be close to Nikki. Hoping that being around her creative friend will cure her blues.
Asa Young was a rock star (almost). His dreams of traveling the world with his band came true (almost). These days, he’s content making commercial jingles at XY Records and staying as far away from the limelight as he can (that’s new). And he definitely doesn’t write music anymore.
Which means he should definitely stay away from Zara, no matter how much fun they have and how easy their connection. Being around her attracts too much unwanted attention.
Except that being around her is all he wants to do.
She reignites a flame inside Asa he thought had died long ago. And he is everything her heart has been looking for.
Is the connection they share strong enough to make them more than friends?
Or are there too many obstacles to make it work?
Frankly, Asa is a mess (not necessarily in a good way) when we first meet him. He's shoved his wants down after a rough betrayal that left him adrift. He's existing, but not really living. Helping Zara the night of an awards ceremony wasn't even something he needed to think twice about because it burned him how no one else was stepping in. So he did. And he found this amazing woman who he had a fantastic connection to, but all his self-doubt (among other things - like thinking he doesn't deserve anything good) has him pulling away and doubling down on being alone.
On Zara's end, she saw something amazing in Asa, but she wasn't about to force him into anything when he she could see what a strain it put on him. Even when the stars align and they end up becoming roommates (of sorts), she treads lightly around him because she doesn't want to scare him off. It takes some long nights of shared music, a couple of steamy kisses, and the reality of being a public figure with rabid fans before they get where they need to be.
Frankly, I adored Asa and Zara together. His heart had been bruised and he'd practically shut down, but Zara's sweetness and talent slowly, but surely got through to him. He understood the reality of being with someone with Zara's fame and I DON'T KNOW BUT I REALLY LOVED THEM TOGETHER. *thumbs up* all around.
