**My thoughts**
I have such a weakness for British heroines. There is something about their personalities that just feel like myself. When their stories are well written, like this Rock Star Romance series by Nicky Wells, I find myself completely immersed in their worlds.
Sophie has found herself again, after rejoining the world of the single woman. She feels strong in her friendships with Rachel and Dan, doing well in her career, and happy in general. But, oh, how quickly things can change. A thunderbolt strikes Sophie in the way of Steve, who is almost too good to be true. A fiery encounter brings her and Dan together again. Meanwhile, Rachel is drowning in wedding preparations, chaos, and confusion. And then that fateful weekend in which everything seems to just explode. Everything brings her back to a confused, tumultuous state again, much to her dismay. She just needs to get away, and I can't say that I blame her.
One interesting part of this installment in the trilogy is that part of the story is also told from Steve's point-of-view, as well as Dan's and Rachel's. And just in time, as their thoughts appear right when you are about to jump into the pages and throttle them. It also adds to the mystery of Sophie's secret journey.
It's another roller coaster of emotion that keeps you intrigued as the story goes on. When it ends...let's just say that I am chomping at the bit for the final book!
