Capturing the Heart of the Rock Star (Knox Brothers of Arbor Shores #1)

I just finished Heart of a Rock Star and can’t wait for the next in Nomi Summer’s series. I’ve only been to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan once but the description took me right back to that sparkling lake and the beautiful forests. The characters were so likable and I was pulling for them all the way through the book. The plot moved quickly and although I couldn’t wait to get to the end…..I was sorry when I did because I wanted more.

A sweet romance set in an idyllic setting. Loved the unique characters, and enough suspense to keep me from putting it down. A fun read.

They knew each other years ago. And had been sweethearts until he left and never looked back. He became a popular singer. Got married and divorced. She stayed back and worked for her parents. Now he is back for her brothers wedding. Will the past stay in the past? Or will old feelings come back?

Not every love story gets a second chance. Will Shane and Avery let the sins of the past ruin a chance to finally make things right? Shane is the boy that broke her heart. Avery is the girl that haunts his dreams. When a happy occasion brings these exes face to face, sparks fly. Capturing the Heart of a Rock Star is an unfinished love song. Summers takes hold of the emotions as she explores young love and adult heartache. Avery and Shane are the best and worst of what love is. Sweet, heartbreaking and everlasting.

Not bad, but not amazing either, I never truly connected to the characters in this sweet and clean second chance romance. Theres nothing truly wrong with the book, but I felt like it was a lot of tell, not show – both in terms of there being more inner monologue than dialogue and more explaining that the characters used to have a great relationship than showing why they belong together. The combination made for limited chemistry and a lack of investment in the relationship on my end while reading.

The story follows Shane, a rock star who once loved a hometown girl. He made Avery a lot of promises when they were younger, but ended up leaving town without a word and pursuing his dreams. Now a family wedding has him returning home, and avoiding Avery is not an option – not that hed want to. Shane knew he had a good thing with Avery, and hes hoping enough time has passed that shes willing to forgive and forget.

Like I said, theres nothing inherently wrong with the book. I just never got into it. Both characters are mostly likeable and I never questioned that they were once
great together. There was just no spark there for me. Im sure others will enjoy this, and theres certainly potential in the authors writing for future books. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
