Mary Whaley is so busy running her catering company and her supper club the last thing she is looking for is a relationship.  She has everything she wants or thought she did until she met rock star Damien Hurley.  Mary thinks it is just going to be some fun with Damien and then they will go their own ways and live their lives they way they always have.

Damien Hurley has lived a hard and fast life and it is the one he is used to living.  He started a band with his brothers and they have hit the big time and have managed to stay there.  He also has a reputation as being a madman on the stage and in the bedroom. When Damien meets Mary though things start changing for him. 

What starts out a fling for both of them suddenly gets more complicated especially when Damien wants more with Mary.  Damien is not sure what to think when the tables turn and he is the one wanting more and the woman he wants that with doesn’t seem to want it at all.  Mary knows all about celebrity news and what they say about Damien.  Now Damien is going to have to prove to Mary that what is in the news isn’t always what the truth is.

This story shows the other side of being a celebrity and those that are involved with them and what they have to go through at times.  The characters are so well written the reader can really relate to them and will end up emotionally invested in the characters.  This one will pull on the readers heartstrings and they will be right there with the character through all the ups and downs.  This is another great book in this series from an author no one should miss.  This story also brings back some character favorites from some other great books and the reader will enjoy going back and visiting the character and to see what they are up to now. 

I give this one 4-1/2 red roses
