After reading [b:Rock and a Hard Place|11419693|Rock and a Hard Place (The Jamieson Collection, #1)|Angie Stanton|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327887424s/11419693.jpg|16352764], I knew I had to get my hands on everything Stanton has ever written, specifically the next in the Jamieson Collection. Unfortunately, I found this to be a slight disappointment. It's not that this is a bad book, but in my opinion Stanton is capable of a lot more.

The only reason I kept reading is that I know Angie Stanton and believed things would get better, plus this is a really quick read. Fortunately for me, I was right and the second part was much, much better. In fact, I highly enjoyed it!
The thing that irked me the most about the first part was Marti's behavior; at first she likes Adam, thinks he's a great guy. But when she finds out he's a rock star, she suddenly does a 180 degrees change and decides he's awful and deceptive and that he's going to grow up and become addicted to drugs and desert his family and be a generally horrible person. She basically maps up his entire future based on her prejudice, and decides to hate him for something that he hasn't even done...
