Publisher's Summary

He’s America’s hottest rockstar, and he’s harboring a dark secret...one that could end with deadly consequences.

She’s a small-town girl from the Midwest, escaping an overprotective family.

After catching the first solo gig by the rocker with the looks of a Greek god and the voice of an angel, Evelyn’s a goner.

But Charlie Walker is the worst kind of bad boy all wrapped up in a smoking-hot body, surrounded by scandal and completely untouchable to someone as ordinary as Evelyn.

Or so she thought.

When the chemistry between them is unleashed, the danger involved extends far beyond the threat of their relationship being thrust into the spotlight.

Charlie and Evelyn!

Charlie forged a successful career with his band but when his drummer disappeared he needed a chance so he decided to try a solo career. He has quite the reputation with women but from the moment that he sees Evelyn at one of his concerts he is drawn to her in a way that he has never felt before.

Evelyn has recently moved to Brooklyn from her family’s farm in Minnesota. She is staying with her friend and works as a waitress at the bar where Charlie was singing. Originally she doesn’t want to pursue a relationship as she doesn’t just want to be the next woman in a long line of woman but he convinces her to give him a chance.

Their relationship is far from easy as not only do they have to deal with his celebrity status and his reputation with women but they must also deal with the secrets of his past.

I listened to the audio version of this story and I thought the narrator did a great job at bringing the story to life.

Very good on all levels

Brooklyn Rockstar by Jennifer Ann is one of those stories that really pulls you in. You cannot help but love the main character Evelyn!! She is small town with all the charm and sweetness. She finally gets to leave the nest away from her brothers and live her life to the fullest. She is a lover of music and when she sees and listens to Charlie Walker she knew she was done for. Charlie was always the ladies man, the womanizer and the flirt. He was never one for love until Evelyn showed up that night at his show. After that it was game over. Love the little twists to the plot and the ending was amazing. Amanda Stribling did a wonderful job at narrating this story. Her voice was bang on with all the different characters. Very good audio and I would definitely recommend it.

Great Storyline!

Jennifer Ann took what could be a very repetitive rockstar romance and made it very very unique! The twists to the storyline kept me on my toes trying to figure out what happened and what the secrets were! When I started this book, I went in blind, thinking it was going to be like any other rockstar romance. That theory quickly went out the window from the very beginning!

The narration was ok. I loved the voice and style of narration but felt it could have used some touching up. Maybe 1 more pass of proofing would have greatly enhanced it.

Terrific on all levels

Loved loved this story!!! Rockstars are one of my favorites to read/listen to and this one didn’t disappoint. The narration was spot on and I immersed myself in their story and didn’t want it to end. Great start to this series and it’s one you don’t want to miss.

A Rockstar Romance!

Brooklyn Rockstar is the first book in the Kendall Family Series. I loved Charlie and Evelyn’s story. Evelyn is a beautiful innocent young woman. Charlie is a handsome rock star. They share an instant attraction/love. The storyline has some interesting twists and turns. Amanda Stribling did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed it. #AudiobookObsession

Ehh..

This was too fast moving, unrealistically and painful to finish. The girl was a whiny mess the whole time, the guy was ehh. And there was a crime element that was super ridiculous.. not going to even bother with the rest of the books in this series.

Rockstar Romance

I enjoyed this rockstar meets small town farm girl romance. It had all the drama that you would expect from paparazzi along with some secrets from Charlie’s past. Amanda did a great narrating!

DNF- love at first site

I love rockstar romance but I couldn’t finish. I got to chapter 10. It was love at first site for Charlie and Evelyn was reluctant because he was a playboy. But this might be a good book for you. The narrator didn’t have enough distinction between the male character and the female character for me, it was a little confusing trying to keep up with who was talking. I will look into more books from this author because she has great potential.

Farm girl meets rockstar

This story has it all, some drama, mystery and of course lots of secrets. Evelyn is from a small farming town in southern Minnesota, and she has some very overbearing brothers. To gain her freedom and independence she takes up an offer from a friend to move to Brooklyn for a fresh start. Little does she know, her world is about to change forever. Charlie has a lot of secrets, but he's also trying to launch his solo career. When Charlie and Evelyn first lay eyes on each other, the sparks fly. Their story will capture your attention, and the narrator brought these characters to life beautifully.

What I liked/Didn’t Like about the book itself: This was an emotional book that had a ton o chemistry and some danger as well overall a very fun book.

Emotional

An absolute emotional rollercoaster that I couldn't put down. Really well-written characters with complexity but also down to earth. I loved the chemistry between them and would definitely recommend this to others.

Different and I like it!

Or so she thought.

When the chemistry between them is unleashed, the danger involved extends far beyond the threat of their relationship being thrust into the spotlight.

This is by no means your typical rock star romance! With that said this book takes you on an emotionally roller coaster that I actual enjoyed. I loved the characters because they had such depth to them. Jennifer Ann made me look at rockstar romances differently now. I love when you think a book will be one way and it totally goes against the grain! I recommend this book! It is a good read and I can't wait to see what's next.

Great Listen

I really enjoyed this Listen! Jennifer Ann wrote a romance that had you changing your mind about things constantly, kept you second guessing throughout. It had Dirt, intrigue, twists and romance. Her characterisation was such that she had you getting passionate about the characters; love them, hate them, feel sorry for them and be downright angry on their behalf!
the story was strong and not just a romance, so much more! I do like to guess the ending early on and I may have got gotten near...ish (after a few changes of direction) but I also missed the mark by a mile! So don't start listening to this thinking you know its story.
Amanda Stibling brought the characters to life and her voices were great, such variation, feeling and differentiation, she even had great British accent!

I highly recommend this listen, I will certainly be looking out for more!

A different kind of rock star romance

Brooklyn rockstar is not your average rockstar romance. I expected your typical lead singer meets normal girl and falls in love, but this story has a few twists that make it completely different. Charlie and Evelyn are the stars of this novel. Evelyn is a beautiful, yet naive woman who has been sheltered by her brothers. Charlie is a rockstar, living the wild life. When he meets Evelyn, his life changes. But secrets and fame may just be the thing that breaks them apart. Jennifer Ann has infused a storyline that kept me wanting to know what would happen next. A little suspense and a mystery to solve, as a listener I had to find out what would happen next and how it would impact Charlie & Evelyn. The twist was a surprise and the ending was perfect. And oh, the song Charlie writes will leave you swooning.....

The narration of the story by Amanda Stribling is wonderful. She is able to give voice to the characters, though at times it was a little difficult to differentiate who was talking. I loved her English accent and thought her pacing of the story was perfect.
