Angels are exploring different genres this year, and one of the new genres we are delving into is Rock Star Romances. We are pleased to have started with this series, which we found to be excellent overall.
The characters in the series were well-developed and engaging. This particular story focuses on Ryan and Tillie's romantic adventure. Ryan has been the band's PR person for sometime but Tillie has now become Recoil's newest PR person, who was hired on to help them grow as a band. Ryan does not like this turn of event not one bit.
The storyline was captivating, evoking both laughter and tears. Our hearts went out to Ryan and the turmoil he faced in his past. It seems the chip that was on his shoulder has grown over time. Although he is not always seen in the best of light, it stems from his fears and heartache, and his protective nature.
Tillie's spirited nature challenges Ryan, never letting him get away with anything. Tillie and Ryan's journey to finding love gave us many laughs; their banter was priceless, and Ryan's pranks, although they seemed harmless at first glance, had ramifications. You could also look at Ryan's childish actions as foreplay, or even something more; could it be he was just protecting himself from future heartache and pain?
From the moment we met Tillie, we knew we were going to love her. Tillie has an amazing personality. She is kind, driven, feisty, and at the top of her game, where her job is concerned, she fits right in with the dynamic of the Recoil team. We loved her, although she is tough, she is not afraid to show us her vulnerability.
The initial characters were great and are a big part of every installment. As the Recoil family grows, so does their success.
We loved the chemistry between Ryan and Tillie; it was beautifully portrayed and palpable. Their journey to happiness is not without its challenges and heartaches, but it also involves moments of joy and self-discovery, healing, and newly formed friendships that will last a lifetime. Can't wait to see what happens next.%20(1)%20(2)%20(2)%20(1)%20(1)%20(1)%20(1)%20(3)%20(1)%20(1)%20(1)%20(1)%20(1)%20(1).png)

We are pleased to have started with this series, which we found to be excellent overall. The characters in the series were well-developed and engaging. This particular story focuses on

We were intrigued by Nate's grumpy demeanor and the mystery surrounding him in this well-written and captivating book. As we delved deeper into the story, we discovered surprising reasons behind his grumpiness, shedding light on the complex relationship between twins where one seems to overshadow the other.
Nate, a renowned drummer, and Zaira, a top-tier actress, may seem like opposites, but their inexplicable connection transcends their differences. Their story is a rollercoaster of emotions, frustrations, and heartwarming moments. Despite Nate's rough exterior and Zaira's glamorous image, their shared past reveals a bond that draws them together.

I had the perfect list. Then my best friend shattered every box.

Angels are exploring different genres this year, and one of the new genres we are delving into is Rock Star Romances. We are pleased to have started with this series, which we found to be excellent overall. The characters in the series were well-developed and engaging. This particular story focuses on
Matt and Alex.
The rock star series comes to a satisfying conclusion with Ms. Osborn's focus on Matt, Nate's twin. Initially, Matt's arrogant behavior and treatment of Nate were off-putting, but in "Refrain," he redeems himself. The story delves into Matt's transformation from a checklist-driven rock star to a man capable of love and friendship.
Matt meets Alex, who challenges his preconceived notions of the perfect woman. Despite their differences, there is a magnetic pull between them. As Matt learns about Alex's troubled past, he discovers a compassionate side of himself that he had kept hidden.
Their relationship brings out the best in each other, with fate seemingly guiding them together. The series is a satisfying journey of love, friendship, and self-discovery that will not disappoint.
Although the story focuses on Matt, it is also a wrap-up for the entire series. How the lives of these rockstars have grown in their personal life, as well as how their hard work and determination have led them to become superstars and show us the beautiful lives they have created; they are broken no more.
The story brought more than a few surprises, most of which made us smile. This may have been Matt's story, but Alex stole the show. We loved everything about Alex her vibrant personality, the way she puts people at ease, is a wonderful friend and her sassiness. She is beautiful inside and out.
Matt's journey to finding the perfect mate created so many hilarious moments. We laughed so much through this story, and we also shed some tears. Although his journey provided laughs, it did make you ponder that being a superstar has its drawbacks, and settling down is not always easy. Does your potential mate want you for you or what you can give them?
Overall, we have to say we loved its conclusion to the series. We can't say that we saw Matt's romance journey and his happily ever after going this way, but it made for a delightful read. Leave it to Matt to be the odd man out. LOL
PS- While each book in the series can be read independently, I recommend reading this series as they were released, as the characters grow and change throughout each book, and are a part of each bandmate's journey to his HEA.
