Book Blurb
What goes on tour, stays on tour … or does it?
Few people know that socially awkward Adrian Hart is actually rock god Kent Downer, and that's the way Adrian likes it. His privacy is essential, especially now that he has guardianship of his orphaned, ten-year-old niece, Kate. But when the nanny quits in the middle of his tour Adrian finds himself in a bind.
Until Libby Myles walks into his life.
Libby has only ever wanted to become a full-time author and prove to her parents that she can make it on her own. On the surface, the temporary job as the nanny for Kent Downer's niece looks perfect—the pay is fabulous, the hours are short and Kate is a big fan—it's the rock star that's the issue.
Arrogant and way too attractive for anyone's good, Kent Downer has enough swagger to power a small city. But when he's out of costume he's different—shy and uncertain. For Libby it's a far harder combination to resist. She needs to find a balance between work, writing and ignoring her attraction to the rock star, because if she falls for him, it could mean the end of her dream.
But when a horrible scandal is unleashed—putting young Kate in danger—there's more heat between Libby and Adrian than just sexual attraction. Libby must figure out if Adrian ever cared for her, or if it was all just part of the show …

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Libby is an author and promoting her latest book. She meets Kent, the world famous American rock star on a talk show. It didn’t go well and is surprised to see him as his normal self, Adrian, when he brings his niece to her book signing. She gets invited by his niece, Kate, to the concert that night. Libby is excited to see the behind the scenes of a concert. That night Kate begs Libby for her help in writing a book. Libby, of course, agrees which leads to a job as Kate’s nanny. Libby is excited to have the job that allows her to write and hang out with Kate. Her only hesitation is Adrian. Libby is attracted to Adrian but she wants to be professional and can’t let her feelings go anywhere, besides he has made it clear that she will only be with them for the rest of the tour.
Adrian is also drawn to Libby but his top priority is Kate. When they give in and start growing closer, a person from his past goes to the media. His tour erupts into a media circus with all sorts of negative press. Kate becomes his focus and his trust in Libby is shaken. Their lives blow up with the promise of never being the same.
This book was a great read. The characters had a lot of depth. The storyline focused more on the characters during the rock tour instead of the rock tour itself. In fact the concerts were only mentioned really in passing except for that very first one. The storyline centered on what happened in the time around the concerts. The characters were normal people with their own issues. I liked how the reader saw them in the behind the scenes setting instead of in your face rock star fame. The author did a unique job of writing around most of Adrian’s fame as Kent. I really liked that aspect of the story. The point of interest was different from most rock star stories that concentrate on the fame. I give it a 4 out of 5.
