Mia Dymond

I believe this is the first novel by Mia Dymond, if this is true then I believe the writing will get better. I could see the path the author was taking us along but the path had use stumbling along. The transitions were not smooth. Having said that the story is a good one and does get somewhat better from middle to end. I will try the second book in the series Out Spoken Angel.

Brains before Beauty, that's Rachel Newberry's motto, especially when her quiet, orderly life is interrupted by show more international rock star, Jaydon Hawke. And true to her word, brains take center stage when she discovers Hawke has a lot more on his mind than beautiful music. Targeted by a madman, Rachel puts her trust in Hawke, a move that may cost both their lives. show less

I liked the book as a whole very much, though I already knew who was doing all those horrible things to Rachel, but that's just one point. What I really loved most about the story was Cameron and Max. C'mon, how much sexual tension is needed for someone to spontaneously combust?! Amazing. And that was one of the other reasons why I didn't rate this a little higher, the main couple almost didn't do it for me as I kept waiting to see some more interaction between Max and Cameron in the background.

I have not read the other two remaining books in the series, but I can say with cetainty that this one is going to be the best one. Max and Cameron were such a hit in the first book for me that reading their story was just the icing on the cake. Their banter was incredibly fun throught the story and the plot was a good one too, albeit extremelly similar to the one in the first book. The couple's chemistry was to die for and the introductino of Holly was another high note to the book.

Good fun read.. not terribly believable but it's fantasy so who cares! Hot rock star who is secretly an undercover 'agent'? Yes... believable or not, sign me up.
