Release Day! My Own Personal Rockstar by Kirsty McManus ~ My Thoughts #MyOwnPersonalRockstar

 

Congrats Kirsty
on the release today of
My Own Personal Rockstar!

My Own Personal Rockstar by Kirsty McManus
180 pages
Published January 12th 2021

Single mother Natasha Northwood has her life sorted. With a beautiful daughter, a dream career, and a bestie for company, she doesn’t need anyone or anything else.

That doesn’t mean she can’t lust after a celebrity every now and again—and her current crush just happens to be the curly-haired reality TV rock god Lincoln Page. With a partner and twin girls, he is the perfect unavailable choice to dream about on the occasional lonely night.

That is, until a chance meeting on a flight puts their respective lives on a trajectory that neither imagined. Natasha suddenly finds herself in the role of Lincoln’s friend, helping him through a life-changing crisis, all while expanding her business and building her own identity.

But when one shocking event affects both of them, they must decide if they will remain in each other’s lives…or go their separate ways.  


My thoughts about My Own Personal Rockstar ~~ 

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First line—"Okay. I'll admit it. I am lame. You're not supposed to have a crush on a reality TV singing contestant."

My Own Personal Rockstar is a wonderful story that was just perfect for me to read right now. It offered a little bit of escapism from my life at the perfect time. 

Haven't we all had a little (or huge) bit of a crush on a celebrity at some point? What if your lives just happened to intersect? Would you be able to see past the fame to get to know the real person underneath?

Natasha and Lincoln meet just by happenstance, on a plane, and neither one of them is the same afterwards. Both of these characters are amazing people and I rooted for them through the whole story, wanting them both to get exactly what they desired. This was such an entertaining story for me. 

I loved My Own Personal Rockstar!highly recommend it if you like a light, fun chick-lit read or maybe need an escape, just like I did. 

I received a copy of My Own Personal Rockstar from the author and this is my honest opinion.

Release Day! Mind Reader by Kirsty McManus ~ My Thoughts #MindReader

Happy Release Day!!

49083101. sy475

Congrats Kirsty
on the release today of
Mind Reader!

Mind Reader
by Kirsty McManus

Print and e-book, 173 pages
Published December 27, 2019

Kellan Gallo can predict soulmates. Operating out of the nightclub Heaven Sent, his charming reputation and impressive accuracy rate are legendary.

But when Kellan meets stem cell scientist Beatrix Mackenzie, he wonders if his time might be better spent pursuing a more meaningful profession.

After a lucky interview with an employment agency, Kellan suddenly finds himself working as Beatrix’s intern. But with Beatrix convinced Kellan is a fraud, he wonders whether embarking on a career in science might be incompatible with his future happiness.

***

Beatrix Mackenzie lives her life by the facts. She loves her job as a scientist because of the clear-cut answers it can provide. So when she meets Kellan, she is reluctant to fall for his act.

However, Kellan quickly proves himself to be an intelligent, and oh-so-attractive adversary, causing Beatrix to question everything she knows.

Can two people with such differing worldviews find common ground?

If they’re soulmates, it might just be possible. 

 

My thoughts about Mind Reader ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"I can have anyone I want."

This was such a fun read! Kellan and Beatrix are as different as night and day, one is a scientist and the other one can envision someone's soulmates. Beatrix doesn't even believe in the idea of soulmates so how can she think that what he does is a real thing?

It was so much fun watching these two develop a friendship.... or not. Beatrix does everything she can to debunk Kellan's gift and to put a barrier up between the two of them. But something—chemistry perhaps, fate maybe—keeps bringing them together.

I first came across Kirsty's books when I read I Thought It Was You, part of the delightful Oceanic Dreams series. Mind Reader is a wonderful, entertaining story that have you pondering the idea of soul mates and have you rooting for these two people who really do belong together.

I highly recommend this fun story and I look forward to reading more of Kirsty's books.

This is a very enchanting series, set on the Oceanic Aphrodite, a cruise ship full of entertainment, with a little bit of love and romance thrown in. The eight books were released throughout the summer and had me waiting with baited breath for the next one. All 8 books are now out so you can binge-read them all!

I loved each and every one of these stories and especially loved the interconnected story-lines and characters. They were so much fun and perfect for summertime reading. They were light and quick reads—exactly what I look for in the summer.

And all of the story titles are song titles. Isn't that fun? Listen to this playlist of all the songs on Spotify. Then go grab this delightful series. I know you'll love it just as much as I did!
