4 Smooches
Synopsis
After his mother dies, rock star Ace White—lead singer of the red-hot band Wicked White—is done with the celebrity game. The phony people, the meaningless one-night stands: he doesn’t want any of it anymore. Quitting in the middle of a sold-out tour, Ace sets out to find some place—any place—where he can be alone.
Aspiring singer Iris Easton’s life has never been easy. First, her mother walked out on her when she was a kid. Now she’s buried in debt, weeks after losing her beloved grandmother. When a mysterious and sexy new guy moves in next door, Iris can’t help but be drawn to his soulful gaze. She can tell there’s something from his past haunting him—something he’s not telling her.
Just as Ace starts falling for Iris, the media go on a worldwide hunt to find the missing rocker. Will true love conquer all, or will the truth be the very thing that tears the couple apart?
Review
“I don’t hate you. I just need to stay from you.”
I have long been a fan of Michelle Valentine’s books and was eagerly awaiting the release of her newest hot rocker Ace White. Wicked White is a fast read that will have you quoting Shakespeare and demanding your own rocker recluse.
“You should stay away from that guy, Iris. He seems like nothing but trouble to me – sexy trouble, but trouble nonetheless.”
Pop Rock sensation Ace White has just walked out on his band, his tour and his rock and roll lifestyle when his foster mom gets sick. Upon her death he decides to spend some time hiding out in a tiny town in a run down trailer park run by Iris Easton. Iris is home and running the trailer park since the death of her Granada. Putting her Broadway dreams on hold till things settle down she is thrown off course by the new tenant, the mysterious and sometimes mean Ace Johnson. Determined to stay away and not drag Iris into the drama that is his public life, Ace is constantly pushing her away until he just cannot resist anymore. Can these two follow their dreams and find happiness with their roots in the midst of a media storm.
“This girl is a fucking angel.”
While not my favorite Michelle book, Wicked White is still a well written easy read that will keep you turning the pages. Overall, I enjoyed the book but for me personally I think if the book was from just Iris’s POV I would have enjoyed it a bit more. Having both point of views left me with little secrets to discover and not quite enough angst.
“Tomorrow will be the start of our forever.”
If you are a fan of hot rockers and swoony heroes Ace White is a man you need to meet but for me Iris is the true star of this book. She is strong willed, independent and does not put her dreams and life on hold for anyone.
