Release Day! Starfish by Lisa Becker ~ My Thoughts and the Trailer #Starfish

Happy Release Day!!

Congrats Lisa
on the release today of
Starfish!

Starfish: A Rockstar Romance by Lisa Becker
e-book, 310 pages
Published May 21st 2019

Ambitious graduate Marin Collins accepts a four-month internship at a prestigious public relations firm to work on a tech account, but her plans are derailed when she’s assigned to go on the road with touring rock band Kings Quarters, hailed by Rolling Stone as the next big thing.

Enter Brad Osterhauser, the reluctant rock star who would rather be coding computer games than penning Grammy-nominated songs.

Traveling by bus, city to city with a group of practical joking bandmates and a greedy manager, Marin and Brad forge a friendship and forbidden romance over a shared love of Seinfeld episodes, stolen moments and Red Vines.

But when Marin’s accused of betraying her company and the band, will Brad come to her defense or believe she was disloyal to him for the sake of her career?

Told in alternating perspectives of Marin and Brad, Starfish is a contemporary romance of unexpected love, the redemptive power of music and hogging the bed.


My thoughts about Starfish ~~

(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—"'Dress for the job you want.' Mom always used to say that. I remember watching her get ready for work when I was a little girl."

OMG! Starfish is an amazing, fun, hot story that will keep you turning the pages until the very end!

Marin's internship is not at all what she was wanting to land but she gives it her all, because that's just the way she does things. Her travels on the road, promoting a rock band, has her experiencing a completely different kind of life from what she's used to. The chemistry between Marin and Brad is steamy hot right from the start but she has a policy of not getting involved with co-workers, let alone employers. Yeah, right. How'd that work for you, Marin?

I seriously loved this story and enjoyed watching the relationship between Marin and Brad grow as they figured out their feelings for each other—and then acted on them. Hot, hot, hot! Lisa has created another delightful, engrossing tale that will sweep you off your feet. You really need to add Starfish to your summer reading list!

I received an ARC of Starfish from the author and this is my honest opinion of the book.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? May 20, 2019


It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

**************************************

So many good books being published this week! I've been trying to read like crazy to get them read and reviewed by their pub dates. Not sure I'm going to make it. 

I love Dete Meserve's books and her book Good Sam was recently made into a movie, It aired on Netflix on Thursday. I did get it watched this weekend, it's so good and has such a positive message. 

On the weather front, it's been cold and rainy here. We sure don't need anymore rain, it can stop anytime now. I feel for the poor farmers who are not going to be able to get into their fields to plant. 

I have a 4 day weekend coming up. YAY!! We may go somewhere or maybe not. Hubby is in charge of planning something and so far there are no plans. Oh well, I just hope we see some sun. 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. Happy reading!

Not much reading again this week. We've had my mother-in-law here since Thursday and that means the kids and kiddos coming off and on to visit with her. It also means lots of meals and socializing, but not much book time. I love that we get to spend time with her since she turned 88 on Sunday, but it will be nice to get back to our normal routine and I can read more. 😉

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. Happy reading!

I am totally loving the warm, sunny weather. And then the evenings cool off―perfect for a little fire pit action. 


I didn't get much reading done this past weekend though. We are working on last minute touches to the house and have cleaning on the agenda, preparing for a visit from my mother-in-law. We invited her up for Mother's Day, which also happens to be her 88th birthday. So there will be a lot of family time but not much reading time, I'm afraid. And I seem to have a ton of review books coming up. Yikes!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. Happy reading!
