BLURB:

Libby

I found Killian drunk and sprawled out on my lawn like some lost prince. With the face of a god and the arrogance to match, the pest won’t leave. Sexy, charming, and just a little bit dirty, he’s slowly wearing me down, making me crave more.

He could be mine if I dare to claim him. Problem is, the world thinks he’s theirs. How do you keep an idol when everyone is intent on taking him away?

Killian

As lead singer for the biggest rock band in the world, I lived a life of dreams. It all fell apart with one fateful decision. Now everything is in shambles.

Until Liberty. She’s grouchy, a recluse —and kind of cute. Scratch that. When I get my hands on her, she is scorching hot and more addictive than all the fans who’ve screamed my name.

The world is clamoring for me to get back on stage, but I’m not willing to leave her. I’ve got to find a way to coax the hermit from her shell and keep her with me. Because, with Libby, everything has changed. Everything.

My Review

Idol is unlike any rock star romance novel i have ever read. I enjoyed the whole new take on the scene. Kristen Callihan went outside the box, it was refreshing to read something that wasn’t so cliche. (don’t get me wrong i have many rock star book boyfriends that are in cliche novels and i still love them all the same) but it was nice to read something different.

“Music can be your friend when you have none, your lover when you’re needy. Your rage, your sorrow, your joy, your pain. Your voice when you’ve lost your own. To be a part of that, to be the soundtrack of someone’s life, is a beautiful thing.

I loved the focus on Libby, fearful of playing in front of thousands of people. and then on the other side we have Kellian who is dreading continuing his career. But i would be to if i almost lost my best friend to the devil in which we like to label “the music business”.

Libby and Kellian were an adorable couple to read. I loved Libby’s sarcastic attitude at the beginning of the book during the “very wet” encounter that involved a garden hose.

“… she opens her mouth. Then it’s one long stream of colorful bitch.”

I also loved when Kellian helped Libby over come her fear of singing and playing in front of people. That was probably my favorite part of the book.

“I will never laugh at you,” he promises fiercely. “Ever. I’m your safe place, Libby. You’ve got to know that.”

I can’t wait for Scottie’s story  Managed (Which is next in the series)!
