Excerpt
Axel Forrester adjusted his sunglasses and leaned back
against a lounge chair, grateful for the first warm, summerlike day in June in
the Hamptons. Xander Kingston’s dog, Bella, sat by his side.
An extra pair of glasses lay on the table beside him.
He picked them up and propped them over the golden retriever’s eyes. “There you
go, girl. That’s better, isn’t it?” He patted her on the head, and she
stretched out on the ground, leaving the glasses in place.
He tipped his head up to the sky and closed his eyes,
enjoying the heat on his face. As a California kid, his first winter in New
York had been a huge adjustment. He’d moved here last summer when he’d become
the drummer for the Original Kings and had spent the first couple of months
bunking at the lead singer Dash Kingston’s house.
Axel learned fast that the band was a tight-knit
bunch, all living in Dash’s home. Until a baby scare with a groupie put Dash in
need of a fake girlfriend to fix his reputation, and Axel’s sister, Cassidy,
had played the role.
Now Cassidy and Dash were married, having wed in front
of family and friends this past winter. Axel had rented a house nearby, as had
Jagger, the guitar player, and Mac, the bassist. But Axel and the guys spent
more time at Dash’s home studio or here at Xander’s than at their own places.
Xander complained about the fact that the band had
followed Dash’s lead, making his house their home away from home, but nobody
believed Xander really considered them unwanted company. And Sasha, the famous
actress Xander had married this past spring, welcomed them, as long as they
knocked first.
Given the Kingston family’s dysfunctional background,
courtesy of their now deceased father, the fact that four of the five siblings
were settled and happy gave a guy like Axel hope that he’d meet the right
woman. He was sick of the rock-star lifestyle, the parties after the shows, the
groupies, and the drinking. At thirty years old, he wanted a partner for life.
And if he couldn’t find the right woman?
My Review:

4 STARS
This novella is a spinoff from the Kingston family series
and is a standalone. It follows Cassidy’s brother Axel (who is the new drummer
for Dash’s band The original Kings), as he reunites with his high school
sweetheart. This book is written in
third person and ends with a HEA.
I really appreciated the loneliness Axel is
experiencing. He moved across the
country, integrated into a new band, finds himself living in a pretty empty
house, and discovers that he wants a connection in his life that means more. I
love his level of feelings and emotion for Tara. I love how he is firm about wanting more from
her while still being respectful. The
passion, history, and emotion between them is special. Tara must overcome some abandonment issues
before she is able to see what Axel is showing her. Once she lets him back into her heart, a
sweet and gooey HEA is inevitable. I
also appreciated the author’s description of the relationship Axel has with
Xander’s dog, Bella. I loved the message
of adopt don’t shop. There are
several lovable animals in this book.
Bella, Dakota, and Walter all have a place in my heart. This has been a very enjoyable series so far
and I loved seeing Axel find love and a happy future.
