Idol by Kristen Callihan

Idol (VIP, #1)

by Kristen Callihan

Libby

I found Killian drunk and sprawled out on my lawn like some lost prince. With the face of a god and the arrogance to match, the pest won’t leave. Sexy, charming, and just a little bit dirty, he’s slowly wearing me down, making me crave more.

He could be mine if I dare to claim him. Problem is, the world thinks he’s theirs. How do you keep an idol when everyone is intent on taking him away?

Killian

As lead singer for the biggest rock band in the world, I lived a life of dreams. It all fell apart with one fateful decision. Now everything is in shambles.

Until Liberty. She’s grouchy, a recluse —and kind of cute. Scratch that. When I get my hands on her, she is scorching hot and more addictive than all the fans who’ve screamed my name.

The world is clamoring for me to get back on stage, but I’m not willing to leave her. I’ve got to find a way to coax the hermit from her shell and keep her with me. Because, with Libby, everything has changed. Everything.

I knew from the opening scene that I was going to enjoy this one. Libby was such a spitfire during that first meeting, that I just wanted to know her better. Both Libby and Killian had some sadness shading their backstories, and I was glad they were able to find comfort in each other. I appreciated how they were friends first, finding that common ground in their past pain and love of music.

Other things to like:
The band dynamic was interesting and I know I want to know more about them all.
Libby and Killian had some serious chemistry, but they also shared so many honest and sweet moments together.
The groundwork for future stories was established quite deftly. I adore when authors lay out those future companion books for me.

As always, Callihan delivers just the right mix of humor and drama and filled the story with interesting characters. I was totally absorbed in this story and rooted for Libby and Killian the whole time.
