After years of trying to hit it big with his band, Adam Rees’ dream is finally about to come true. A new lead singer brings with him a hot tour invite, but with a catch—his sister has to come with them. Despite an off-limits edict, Adam is instantly attracted the smart and beautiful Landry. But if he wants to claim his woman, it might be at the expense of all his ambitions.
Landry Olsen has had success at every stage of her life, except when it comes to men. She’s put her heart on the shelf, but one look at Adam and she’s a goner. The hot rocker heats her from the inside out, and she wants him as much as he wants her. The only thing standing in their way of their happiness is Landry's brother—she ruined his musical hopes before, and she won't do it again. Even if it means saying no to the one guy who makes her believe in love again.
There’s no fruit more tempting than the forbidden kind…
Jen Frederick rocks the heck out of this rock star romance. All the ingredients are there to make Unwritten an entertaining read, and the result is quite successful.
Adam is the lead guitarist/songwriter for an up and coming band. Although women are plentiful and he’s no saint, Adam isn’t a total horndog. When he meets Landry, the new lead singer’s sister, he knows she is the one for him. It’s not technically a case of insta-love since the word, “love,” isn’t uttered. However, literally the moment he lays eyes on her he becomes convinced she’s the woman he will spend the rest of his life with. Insta anything tends to bug me, so I was surprised I was able to overlook it and just enjoy the ride.
Landry is an unadventurous, awkward computer geek who is forced to go on tour with her brother and his band. She is oblivious to her appeal, and Davis is super protective of his sister. His off limits edict, Landry and Adam’s growing mutual attraction, and close living quarters make for great some great sexual tension. There’s a side plot to add a bit of drama and a colorful cast of band members.
For all of Adam and Landry’s secret encounters, the exposure of their relationship is a tad anticlimactic. Nonetheless, this is a fun story that satisfied my taste for a lighthearted romance.
Unwritten is a standalone within the Woodlands series.
