From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel.

No one but me knew why I was actually in the California desert that day.
Nestled deep within the desolate, rocky area was a recording studio.
When a door suddenly opened, a man mistook me for someone he was supposed to be interviewing for a job.
The next thing I knew, I was whisked inside.
The position? An assistant on the upcoming tour for one of America’s most famous rock bands.
Pretty exciting opportunity for a twenty-two-year-old, just out of college.
Not surprisingly, I bombed the interview.
When I ended up mistakenly walking into the men’s room on my way out, I struck up a conversation with a stranger—not realizing it was the lead singer, Tristan Daltrey.
He seemed to like the fact that I had no idea who he was, that I saw him as a normal person.
That night, I got a call offering me the job.
So began my complicated story with Tristan.
Millions of women loved him.
Yet for some reason, after the shows, he only wanted to hang out with me.
Late-night talks. Casual dinners in his hotel room.
I wasn’t supposed to be fraternizing with the band’s frontman.
Despite our fifteen-year age difference, Tristan and I had a connection.
But I had a secret.
One that would eventually lead to my leaving the tour.
And one that would lead Tristan and the band straight to the small town where I came from.

MY REVIEW


Emily knows she blew the interview she bumbled her way into. But then she accidentally walks into the wrong restroom, meets the right guy, and now she's on tour with his band, Delirious Jones. She could have never foreseen the emotional connection she and Tristan would forge, the friendship they'd form. And she should have seen what else was to come...


Tristan knows his new employee is as off-limits as they come, but he's so drawn to her. She's different than the usual females that he and his band encounter - she didn't even know who he was when they met. And now they're becoming closer and closer, bonding emotionally. If he's not careful, he's going to fall in love with Emily...


Emily and Tristan are quite simply, beautiful together. Theirs is a slow burn, surprising and twisty love story that had my heart in all kinds of knots. When I think of rockstar romances, I have an idea in mind, but Tristan and Emily took that idea and tilted it off the axis of tortured rockstar love that I'm used to. I didn't want their story to end, but by the time it did end, I was smiling and happy this amazing couple found the love and joy they never expected to find.

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!
