One Way or Another is the prequel to million copy bestseller Portia MacIntosh’s If We Ever Meet Again.

Being best friends with a mega-star has its perks, and music journalist Nicole Wilde takes full advantage of them.

But it also has its responsibilities. When lead singer Dylan King disappears the night before a charity gig, it’s up to Nicole to track him down.

Half a dozen groupies, a haunted hotel, a tattoo parlour, a reality show runner-up and a crazy bed-hopping, sleepless night later – will she find him before the tour bus leaves town? And when she does, is it time to head home? Or to jump on the tour bus and go along for the ride?

When Portia MacIntosh emailed me and asked me if I would like to review her novella Between A Rock Star and a Hard Place, it was a no brainer. I love books set in the music world, I love books where people are best friends with rock stars and I love it even no when there’s no agenda there (ie. them sleeping together). It’s nice to read a book about a rock star and his best friend and there be no shenanigans – although I can’t think it’s too hard for Nicole considering the sheer amount of people Dylan managed to get through in such a short novella!

I thoroughly enjoyed Between A Rock Star and a Hard Place, Portia has a fantastic writing style which made feel like Nicole was a friend, rather than someone I had only just met and I rather liked her devotion to trying to find Dylan before it was too late – anyone else would have simply left him to their own devices and no one would have been all that bothered, let’s be honest, but I like that Nicole was there for her friend, despite his actions, and despite the fact she was sent on what was a wild goose chase, from pillar to post and back again.

I cannot wait for the first full-length novel Starstruck. I already love Nicole, so I can’t wait to tag along with her as she goes on the ride to wherever she’s going (presumably on tour with Dylan’s band The Burnouts?). I REALLY hope we’ll see more of the delectable Troy, and that he’s not just a one-novella wonder, because I looooved him and I think he and Nicole got on really well and one thing I definitely don’t want is Dylan and Nicole to happen. They’re friends, and Dylan’s a skank and Nicole deserves way better and Troy could be that way better! I can’t wait for more from these guys, they’re ace!
