This book was amazing!!! It brought me back to why I love to read. There is nothing that I didn't love about it. Kristen Callihan did a wonderful job of making the characters come alive to me from the beginning of the book. I find that a book like that is becoming harder to find; but in "Idol" the story sucked me right in from the get go!!!

Liberty Bell; aka, Libby...finds a "bum" on her front lawn one day, considering she is quite a feisty heroine...she didn't run screaming. Instead she got out the hose and sprayed the crap right out of him!!! ( I would say pun intended, but it wasn't crap; but vomit if we are getting technical!!!)
Unfortunately, Killian wakes up from his drunken stupor to find this "Ellie May" character, aka country bumpkin staring down at him and spraying him with freezing cold water!!!
This is how the two meet, and immediately their entertaining banter begins! I loved every single scene with these two. There are far too many to mention. They are hilarious, and their chemistry is not only sexual, but an amazing friendship develops with them too. The best part is how Libby doesn't even realize she has the most popular rock star right on her door step. Killian decides he likes that too, finally he finds someone who recognizes him for him as a person, and not as an "Idol."

This is how the story goes, and believe me there isn't a part that drags. It is full of laughs, friendship, and of course our favorite!!!! SEX!!!! I am not a person to push books on anyone. I feel we all have different tastes, and I hate being responsible if a reader doesn't like it!!! Too much pressure for me!!! LOL HOWEVER, this time I will do some gushing..and say....YOU MUST GIVE THIS BOOK A TRY!!! It is beyond awesome, and I haven't been as highly entertained and amused with a read in a long time!!! I will be honest, I don't usually go with Rock Star books...They are not my favorite; but I am so glad that my Buddy brought this book to my attention!!! (Thank you Steph!!! This was another brilliant buddy read with you!!!) Please give this story a try...
I have adored some of Kristen Callihan's other books, but this one by far has jumped up to be my favorite, and I can't wait for more in the series...Even the band members have my attention..Each character brings a unique personality to the table, and they are impossible not to love!!! This book is a top read of 2016 for me!!
