A passionate one-night stand leads to love when motel clerk Jill Griffin meets sexy rocker James Sheridan. Jill joins James and his struggling band on tour and discovers life on the road is a nonstop party despite a grueling concert schedule. The committed relationship Jill craves may be more than James can offer.

The band’s popularity grows, as does the number of eager groupies and meddling journalists. When her poems and journal ramblings become songs on James’ best-selling album, Jill struggles to survive in the glare of the media spotlight.

As her professional success threatens her relationship with James, Jill questions whether she can write love songs without the love of her life.

Wow. What a powerfully emotional journey! Gail Ward Olmsted writes a rockstar romance, but it is much more than just fame and finding your love. This book features James and Jill, the upcoming rockstar and the invisible girl. But she isn't invisible to James. Their instant connection has her quitting her job and going on tour with the front man. And for a while it's paradise.

Let alone one of the band is his twin, there is not getting along. How does it all end? Well, it's extremely unpredictable which makes this an even better listen. Olmsted knows how to pull me in and keep me interested, that is for sure. Jill turns out to be quite a woman. Once she begins her true career, she blossoms, and I love she finds some independence. James is hard to love, as his character, while charismatic, is very frustrating. But that is what makes it good . Get ready to feel in this one, you will have all the emotions!

Gina Rogers brings this story to life with a fabulous narration. Her talent gives us all the voices, from James and Jill to a young child and the various band members. Each distinctive, it made the listen flow with ease and was full of the emotion it warranted. She is amazing and gave me hours of enjoyment.

Guessing at Normal

At first I was disappointed I didn't listen to this one first but actually I am glad that I listened in reverse. It was like it was supposed to be. Loved both books, the characters and the story. I think you will as well

Very Unexpected

Gail Ward Olmsted is a new to me author. The story was gripping and not a lighthearted rock star romance.
This follows Jill and James from their first meeting to falling in love to life on the road with a band that is just starting out on the road to stardom. This book has some triggers especially alcohol and drug abuse.
James is a flawed character but loves Jill even though he is not always faithful.
Jill is a strong female character who holds their marriage together despite the hard times.

I thought the narrator did a great job bringing the characters to life.

This book was a gift from the author and this is my honest review.
