Review: THE RUNAWAY ROCKSTAR by Veronica Blade

A rockstar that’s had enough and needs a break flees to the open road, eventually stumbling across a country diner/bar, where he’s captivated by the alluring waitress. The waitress can’t help but be attracted to the bad boy Adonis that sits at her table. But Emma has been burned enough by one too many bad boys.

 

I know they say that you shouldn’t be fooled by tabloids slinging celebrity brawls, but, in the case of Liam, it’s pretty much true with his temper and fighting history. He surely can’t stand by and watch the sweet waitress being harassed by a#holes.

 

For a while, Liam and Emma do everything they can to avoid their attraction for the other, especially since Liam was just passing through town and would soon return to his rockstar life anyway. So a good chunk of the book is mostly on denial while Liam tries to conceal his celebrity identity.

 

Of course, the story is not without its moments. The way Liam acts around Emma’s daughter is endearing and his protective nature makes him a lovable character. I liked how Liam and Emma get to know each other first, that it’s not one of those “slam-hard” romances.

 
Even though the book is written in typical he said/she said fashion, story progresses nicely; it’s not just a diary of the characters’ private thoughts. Story was somewhat lagging at times, but, overall, this had a decent combination of sweet and passionate.

 

My rating: 3 stars
