It was just OK

I really, really, really tried hard to like Popstar. I love all books/audiobooks that have anything to do with musicians. I was able to connect with Calvin, but I think that Jess’s character needed more...more emotion is what comes to mind while I’m writing this. Also, there were some things that happen that we only get as after thoughts. The story line is good, manwhore pop star wants to change his ways and wants more out of life.

Rodney Falcon did a great job narrating, his voice was perfect for Cal, however Jess’s POV needed a female narrator. I couldn’t distinguish between the two very well.

Calvin and Jess

Wow! This one really had my emotions bouncing around. One min I can’t stand Cal and his actions then I completely think he’s a nice guy but then he goes back to being a jerk. I don’t know WHAT he is thinking while in New York. Watch out Cal....Karma will be coming your way. He is a pop star and I can’t possibly imagine what he goes through along the “being famous” line. Paparazzi, stalkers and over zealous fans are just to name a few. I will say he seemed very gentlemanly toward Jess.

I had no real feelings for Jess either way. There wasn’t anything to really impress me about her. She didn’t arrive on the scene until a ways Into the story. In fact I had to look and make sure Tonya wasn’t the female lead with as much as Cal enjoyed and remembered her.

While i realize this is written by a male i was curious if there would have been emotions brought forth in the characters. The characters mention how they feel but to me all i heard was the words. I wasn’t able to connect with the characters so i couldn’t *feel* what they were saying. This story is good and easy to follow along with and the characters are likable. Yes it is full of steamy scenes and I epwas happy once the story started moving forward filled with

I listened to this on audio and felt the author did a pretty good job. On the female and males voices he did a good job. I was easily able to tell who was who mostly.

Very Popstar

Popstar was a bit of a hot mess with regards to the story line. Of course it follows suit with the Rock Star life-style most likely, but there were contradictions all over the place with the characters. One minute we're respecting women, next we're oogling every body under the sun. Did Calvin, the Popstar, respect all 350 women he slept with along the way? I'm on the fence with that one. It starts out more like a diary, then he finds a special someone, but even their relationship was all over the place. So the story needs a whole lot of work IMHO. The narrator's voice, now that was a hot commodity! His voice reminds me of another narrator that I've always loved listening to as well, but I won't mention it here. Seriously hot voice, I thought, which was the only thing that kept me listening until the end.

Such hope for all that this book had to offer

I really loved the premise for this story; unfortunately, that was the best part. So much of the story was like a cheap porn movie, I kept waiting for the pizza driver to show up and for the sex on the pool table to begin. The storyline just never really flowed once it actually got into it. The dialogue was expected and ho hum. Sadly, there was nothing unexpected in the entire book and it was all I could do to finish listening to it.

Unfortunately, the narration was not any better. I wish I could say so, but it wasn't. They male parts were fine, but the female parts were phoney and not easy to believe. I really wanted to believe them, but it was immpossible.

I cannot recommend this book to anyone - I am sorry,

Celebrity Encounters Of The Best Kind

As someone who grew up boyband crazy and saw Justin Timberlake in multiple stops on his current tour this book is in no way a fever dream from my middle school diary.

It’s dirty, it’s sexy, it’s fun as hell. Jess gets to have the fantasy we’ve all (tell me I’m not alone here)had since childhood and is taking us along for the ride.

This is narrated by the author and he’s super convincing in the role and makes it easy to get lost in the story.

I would recommend this to fans of celebrity romance, contemporary romance and bad boy/ rockstar types.

Wonderful experience.

Great story line. Love the characters. And what a voice, will make you melt. Perfection.

Awesome

Really enjoyed Rodney’s Popstar!!! I look forward to listening to more! This was amazing to listen to!!!!

Fun and easy listen

This is fun and easy listen. I picked this story because I enjoy Rodney as a reader. Since he wrote this, I gave it a try. It was good. I didn’t care for the hero to be a player but I guess he had to be for the story to unfold. All in all, I like it and would recommend if you are a romance lover.

Good Rock Star Romance.

New author and narrator to me. Rodney Falcon did a great job with the story and he has a great voice. I enjoyed it all around.

Great Book and Narrator

Absolutely the characters and story line. This was nice to listen to traveling in my car to Dr appointments. A must buy/rent.

Popstar Romance

This was an enjoyable storyline. It's always fascinating to hear a narrator write his or her own book. Rodney Falcon did wonderfully with plot and character development, I'm wholly impressed.

The main characters, Calvin and Jess, are fabulous together. They have a charged connection, and their chemistry is off-the-charts. I thoroughly enjoyed their story.

The narration by Rodney himself is superb. Given that he wrote the characters, he channels them perfectly, bringing them to life.

Standard plot with a decent amount of sex

Disclaimer: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. An interesting story, one with a decent amount of sex and story, but I feel a lack of character development and exploration. The first 5 chapters were good, the main character is unique and interesting, but afterwards the character just lost his character. The main female lead has nothing interesting about her, she is perfect, flawless and lacks character. Subsequently, characters behave almost like they are in a scripted adult video, their reactions are standard and cliché. The lovemaking scenes are quite nicely written, gives quite a visual read, but could have a little more character in them as well. Narration by Rodney Falcon is amazing. The pacing is suitable and he brings out the passion and intensity of the love making scenes.

So enjoyable

There is something so special about listening to a narrator who has narrated their own book. It really brings the characters to life for me. These characters had really good depth and the storyline was tight. The pacing was perfect for the story and the voices were very distinct so I could easily tell them apart.

The chemistry was off the charts which was everything i had hoped for with this cover and blurb. This is a book that is definitely worth a credit.

Great

I enjoyed listening to this rockstar romance the story was good and the characters were likeable.

Great story

Really enjoyed this audiobook, I’m a bit spoiled by dual narration and have a hard time now hearing a single narrator do a book unless they are exceptional with both points of view. Unfortunately Rodney’s female voice is not distinguishable enough for me to realize who is speaking without a lot of concentration and I enjoy doing things when I listen to an audiobook. But the story was authentic and realistic and I loved the characters.

Pop Star Romance!

This book was okay I didn't really connect with the characters. Calvin was a little too full of himself and Jess didn't leave an impression on me. The book just wasn't my cup of tea but might be someone else's. 🎧AudiobookObsession

great story

I have the book but not read it yet so this is the first time i have heard it, I didn't know that the narrator was even an author and he did a very good job of both. I enjoyed everything about this.

Rockstar romance

I wasn't sure about this one when it first started but give it a chance you will be hooked. It was a slow start for me that's the one star off but after that it took off and I really enjoyed the story and the characters. At first I wasn't sure I was going to like Calvin but he grew on me as the story evolved. I also would like to say I did enjoy the narration as well.

enjoyable story

enjoyed this audiobook very much great job Rodney Falcon with the narrating too

Great narration, enjoyable story

The narration by Rodney Falcon really brought this story to life. When the first female voice came through I actually went back to check that there was only one narrator!

I am really not at all sure what to make of Calvin at all. At times I want to Gibbs slap him as he makes his own trouble. At times he's really thoughtful and sweet and at other times he seems like a child. Just a typical man? Something about him intrigues me though. I wanted to know what was going to happen. I enjoyed watching the characters and their relationships. I also enjoyed where the story went.
