Review: Refrain (Rockstar Book 16) by Anne Mercier

Review of Refrain (Rockstar Book 16) by Anne Mercier


REFRAIN

Ethan and Lincoln are in love, passionately so. But, Ethan knows he can't come out because rockstars can't be publicly gay, can they?

But, that isn't the only obstacle to their love. No, there other things going on. Ethan is still suffering from the aftermath of his heartbreaking childhood. Oh sure, he's got a family in his guys, and he's got the love of his best friend, but he needs professional help to deal with the pain in his mind. Can he do it before he loses Linc?
And once he does get some professional therapy, will other outside forces have their say in Linc and Ethan's love? Can a badass MMA fighter and a sexy rockstar be publicly in love if both of them happen to be men?

I have been reading Anne Mercier's Rockstar series since book 1, (Falling Down). It's had its ups and downs and some of them I've loved more than others, but I can safely say I've always been intrigued by Ethan, and I'm so glad I finally got to read his story. And what a story it is! There are rockstars, MMA fighters, friends who become much more, and Mafia action. Refrain is sexy, it tugs more than a little on the heartstrings, and it's pure entertainment, Falling Down style.

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
