What if your dreams came true and one day you realized you didn’t want it anymore? Mel Summers, better known by his stage name Seger Hughes, had it all: fame, fortune, booze, drugs, women…everything he ever dreamed of, but after 20 years, he has had enough of it. He couldn’t remember what city he was in, he didn’t remember the women and he no longer even enjoyed his music. So, he cut his long, blonde hair, grew a beard and went to hide away in the beach house he bought under his real name, away from the paparazzi and the rabid fans. Mel wanted to get away and be by himself, but he didn’t remember that the prior owners had actually split the main house and the guest house and he would now have to share his private property and beach.

Ashley Bristol has had a bad time of it lately—a really bad time. After being crushed by scaffolding knocked down by a crazed killer, and spending several months in a coma, she purchased the beautiful guest house with the private beach and she planned to begin enjoying her life. But her bad luck hasn’t run out yet and when she hits her head after tumbling down her stairs, she looses her vision. Ashley is determined by regain her independence and she hires Lizzy to help her learn to deal with the blindness. And things are looking up, she has a new neighbor, even if he only housesitting for his boss, Seger Hughes “Mr. Big Shot Rock Star.”

Although Mel originally wants nothing to do with his neighbor, a blind neighbor is a bit of good luck to a rock star trying not to be recognized, and they quickly develop a friendship. But someone recognizes who Mel really is and she’s be waiting her whole life to be Mrs. Seger Hughes and she’s not going to let Ashley or anyone else get in her way, no matter what she has to do.

Sometimes you pick up an unknown book and it sounds really good, but you’re so afraid in the end you will be disappointed. I was delighted that I requested a copy of Dangerously Close. This was one of those stories you just couldn’t put down. Usually the review copies of ebooks are only temporary loans but for whatever reason, this one isn’t and I am quite glad because this one is definitely a keeper that I will want to read again. This was one of those stories you can’t wait to see how it ends, but you are sorry when it is finally over.

Even though you know who the stalker is and you watch her wedge herself into Ashley and Mel’s lives (and she is as dangerous as she is Crazy with a capital “C”), it is such an intriguing story, and the romance which grows between Mel and Ashley was so delightful. You see the character of Mel grow and change from the selfish rock star to a generous friend and lover and after years of disappointment in his dream, you feel his joy in spending time with Ashley who is so fun and open and who tries very hard to overcome her handicap. His relationship with Ashley not only gives Mel a new leash on life, but breathes new life into his music, which he will come to love once again.

If you are love a good contemporary romance, definitely treat yourself to a copy of Dangerously Close. This is the third book in the Adrenaline Highs series, and I am definitely going to be keeping my eyes open for more by Dee J Adams.
