Rocked by Julia WolfMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Rock Star Meets An Every Day Hero
One of the things I really liked about this book was that the Everyday Hero, Kat, is a paramedic single mom. She’s strong both physically and mentally. She’s a hardcore rock climber and incredibly fit. She is calm in a crisis and helps people every day in her job. She is also a reliable and loving mother.
Kat’s daughter, Ellie, is 12 years old and allergic to every thing, in a life threatening way. She’s also brave and as strong as her mother. She is confident, bright and talented and she has been Kat’s whole world since she had her at age 20. I have to say that Ellie is a stand out character for me in this book and loved everything that included her, and her goofy dog.
Devon is a rock star. He’s 35 and his career is on the way down as he’s tried to keep up with music trends and found they don’t fit his style at all. He’s also made some really BIG mistakes in his private life, most revolving around drugs, alcohol and infidelity. He’s driving cross country trying to find his way through the mess that is his mind when he hears about a music star who has moved to a tiny town in California where everyone treats her like a regular person. So as he is close by he drives there and ends up renting the house next door to Kat.
The story that unravels is fairly predictable but the way it is told is so satisfying. You know there is going to be a HEA but you aren’t quite sure how it’s going to get there, though the options narrow the closer to the end you get. However, what you do get is a really lovely story about two people who are learning to forgive themselves for past mistakes and take a chance on letting someone in.
I really enjoyed this book and definitely plan to read more of Julia Wolf’s books and also from Everyday Heroes World.
