Love My Way

I love story lines with rock bands in them. The authors always seem to be able to paint a picture that what we think we know about that famous rock star is not necessarily true. In this case, is hot guitarist Peter proving to photographer Katie that he is a one woman man and she's his woman.

Katie's been burned in the past and she's done everything that she can to protect her heart from being broken all over again. One night stands with hot guys is one of those things. But Peter breaks the rules with her and demands more than just the one night. As Katie gives in, she finds she adores the man behind the guitar. The man who sends her roses, wears glasses and likes her cat. But Katie's insecurities rears it's head and causes her to question everything. Anyone who's had their heart broken can sympathize with Katie and understand why she's trying to protect herself. But you also had to wonder if she was really going to let a man like Peter get away just because she's afraid. In the end, she did need to confront that fear and realize that not every man would be like her ex-fiance and decide to take the leap.

Peter has pursued Katie since his band hired her to photograph them. But while Katie might flirt with him, she always seems to push him away. But when they meet, by chance, in Miami, he thinks he's finally going to be able to start something with the elusive Katie. But Katie's past hurts get in their way, but Peter is not willing to let Katie go. He does whatever it takes (standing outside her apartment in the middle of the night) to convince her that what they have is special. Peter is a man you will absolutely fall in love with. He's a sweet, romantic man that wants a woman to love him for who he is. He finds that with Katie, but he also knows that he has to go that little bit extra to prove he's not like her ex. When most men would cut and run, he stayed until their relationship was fixed.

I enjoyed this one and wished there could have been a little bit more to Katie and Peter, as I wasn't quite ready to let them go.
