Chase’s competent follow-up to One More Kiss revolves around Dylan Anders, a rock star and recovering alcoholic in need of redemption, and Paige Walters, a PR expert whose insecurities are amplified by working with her family. Paige’s father, Robert, runs a successful Los Angeles public relations firm, where her sister, Ariel, is his obvious favorite and reliably steals Paige’s thunder. Worried that Paige might actually achieve something, Ariel convinces Robert to add Dylan to the literacy campaign project Paige is working on. If Paige successfully produces the project, she may finally get some respect at the office, but if the public keeps seeing Dylan as a loser, he could tank all of her hard work. The growth of the couple’s slow and smoldering love story is modern and sweet. Dylan supports Paige, encouraging her to blossom into a sexy, confident woman, while Paige assists Dylan in rebuilding his reputation. The author, however, draws Paige’s family with overly broad strokes—Robert treats Paige like trash and Ariel takes all the credit for her hard work, avoiding blame with remarkable ease. Though effective, the Cinderella premise is long in the tooth and lessens the impact of a well-matched couple’s romance. (Feb.)

Publishers Weekly

"But the love that this couple discovers with each other is worth any sacrifice, and readers will definitely find this story more than worth their time." - RT Book Reviews

"Chase just gets better and better, and this very real story about recovering from addiction and finding yourself can be enjoyed as a stand-alone, but it is also sure to bring new fans to this sexy romance series." - Booklist

"Chase continues her Shaughnessy spinoff series, Band on the Run, with a sexy, touching look at romance in the face of insecurity, and the story is both fun and heart-wrenching." - Kirkus Reviews

When Dylan Anders, rock star and recovering alcoholic, meets public relations rep Paige Walters, there's immediate professional and sexual tension between them.Dylan leaves rehab determined to make a new start and takes a Los Angeles PR firm up on its invitation to join a literacy campaign. Working with Paige, the project's lead and daughter of the firm's owner, is delightful and frustrating. She's smart, funny, creative, and the driving force behind the firm's success, yet she allows her father and sister to take all the credit while she does the work. Paige, who is at first suspicious of Dylan's motives, begins to see the man behind the image and likes him. She's surprised that he's interested in her, then more surprised when their relationship lasts longer than any he's had before. But as Paige's family continues to undermine her, Dylan, buoyed by his supportive band mates and his healthier choices, encourages Paige to stand up for herself, which causes a rift between them. When fate and Paige's father drive them even further apart, they'll have to figure out how to find their ways back to each other, and Paige will have to learn to advocate for her own happiness. Chase continues her Shaughnessy spinoff series, Band on the Run, with a sexy, touching look at romance in the face of insecurity, and the story is both fun and heart-wrenching. However, while the ending is satisfying, it would have been nice to see smart, amazing Paige be her own hero before fate practically forces her to and Dylan organizes it so she can be.An entertaining, affecting rock-star romance.
