3.0 out of 5 stars TWO & 1/2 STARS for a tale about a ex addict rockstar and his recovery
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2012

TWO & 1/2 STARS--I liked the set up for the story. However based on its premise I was expecting something slightly more different. It seemed as if a bad boy rock star was going to be in a passion filled romance with his engaged to be married co-worker. Instead we get more of a biography of Ravensong, a Native American rock star's sad life of abuse, drugs and his recovery.

The romance felt a bit lackluster because the characters said the right words but I didn't believe it as much. I still finished the story because I was curious as to who was setting Ravensong up. Also Julian was a main antagonist in the story but he mellowed out for no real apparent reason. It was weird. As was Eliot's response to

SPOILER-ISH: To be honest, the switch between Ravensong's flashbacks and present day was not flawless. I had to read back a few times to figure out if he was having a flashback or not. Also telling his whole drug filled tale was necessary but I felt some parts could have been edited out. Also if his drug abuse tale was shared in the beginning and the weak prologue scrapped, I think I might have felt more...endeared to the tale.

This story is not really a romance in my opinion because the romance was secondary to the suspense of who was setting Ravensong up and the emotional tale of Ravensong's life thrust into the spotlight. When we find out who behind all of the drama, it was unexpected. I didn't see it because the heroine's fiancee did not care about her during the relationship, why would he go through all of this for her now?

I do agree with another reviewer that the men's dialogue did read like women were talking. And I get Ravensong accepting the abuse because he didn't want to become his father but really he...could have finally put a stop to it or try to put an end to it once and for all.

But I do think this story will appeal to other readers.

I recommend this story for adult readers that like YA PG-type reads but want to read a story that is more mature, suspense-lite read.

What I liked about the book: Josh's character - his struggle with fame, family and his past drug addition. His character was written well and you feel his real struggle with both his past and present life. Also the band member's interaction with each other, they have a real connection and friendship through the good and the bad.

What I didn't like: The story line with Julian the band manager. Could such hate and really bad treatment towards Josh really go on for that long? To hold someone's drug addition against him for that long seemed unreasonable. 9 years clean in the Rock and Roll world is a huge accomplishment!!! The industry loves a come back-story! Being this was a romance story it was under developed. Josh & Elena started out with a building relationship then it seemed to take a back seat and Elena became a secondary character.

Even with the things I didn't like this book was a decent read that keep me interested right to the end.

This was such a good read.
Not sure how I stumbled upon this book but am so glad I bought it on my Kindle.
The main character Joshua is a reformed drug addict rock star and has a lot of demons to deal with, and the book does not gloss over the issues of his past or how he will deal with the present.
I thought this book was going to be a bit depressing and started reading with trepidation, but it was anything but.
I loved the developing relationship between Joshua and Elena - she was so good for him. I also thought the relationship with his family was so well handled epecially after what he had put them through.
I would absolutely recommend this book. I'm so glad I managed to find it.

This was a good book about a regular girl who met a rockstar and her life changed from there.

Elena has this picture of what her life should be and what she would rather it actually be. Which do you choose when you have two different things that are throwing themselves at you? Which do you think she will choose?

The struggles that happened since Elena met Ravensong were crazy but so good to read! Things were determined to break them up from the beginning. It was really surprising to see what happened in the end. While I read the book I came up with what I think would happen, but I didn't think that what had happened would actually happen.

Overall, this was a really good book and it was suspensful as the plot unfolds.

Dysfunctional hot genius musician with inner demons! Joshua finds himself on a clean and focused path dedicated to his music. He meets a woman who he can't seem to stay away from and she happens to be the new assistant manager in his bands music company so it's difficult to stay away. As his career takes off we find ourselves hoping he will be strong enough to stay clean. I wanted him to find someone to love and who will love him. Great love story with some suspense!

As a lover of modern romance, Ravensong is absolutely a joy to read. As I had previously read ML Hamilton's "Emerald" and enjoyed the book, I couldn't resist checking out this one. I am so glad I did! I had a hard time putting the book down. I look forward to more of this gendre from Ms. Hamilton. Bravo!
