Publisher Description
One night in Vegas with Owen Parry. It should have been simple. It wasn't.
He's hot. He's always been hot. Half of the problem is that he knows it - something the Marable following aren't shy about letting him know.
Of course, with a few drinks in hand, one thing led to another. You can see where this is going... What I wasn't expecting, was the ring I woke up wearing.
I'm not ashamed to say I ran. I have no doubt he's only looking for arm candy, this rock star life isn't made for marriage. For love.
Either way, the knock on my door comes as a surprise. He's here, and he wants a chance to get to know his wife.
Is there more to Owen than meets the eye, or should you always go with your gut?
Needing Emily is a steamy rockstar romance. It's an accompanying novella to the True Platinum Series. Can be read as a standalone.
If you love cinnamon roll rock stars that fight for what, and who, they want and a heroine struggling to believe she's enough, then Needing Emily is for you.
Customer Reviews
3 simply because the writing is good but the story rushed
TIL, I don’t like novellas.
For those who don’t know, TIL = Today I Learned.
It was rushed and forced and way too short for character development and any buildup.
Some of you may like it, I don’t. I am not a fan of the “they met, got drunk, and effed” within the first chapter (or few). In this case, for those who read the other books, the reader is familiar with Emily, who previously was a play thing for Jared. She actually kept him around longer than he deserved in book 1.
Owen has barely made any appearances and they jump right in to him trying to convince her to stay married, and the reader is somehow supposed to feel for him or his efforts. Meh.
No buildup. No angst. No time to get into the story because by chapter 4 (being sarcastic here, it might have been chapter 5), and a week into being with him, she’s in love. For life.
I’d say this story is like the times your O sneaks up on you, and not in the good way. You aren’t even into the buildup, nor have you had time to get the mental scenario going when it hits. It’s mediocre and happens more in passing than all consuming, and you are left feeling mostly relaxed but also cheated because you really weren’t a part of it.
The author still writes well. I think that has this been 400+ pages, a good story could have been written. In addition to the length, there are some grammar and editing issues in these. Not enough to put you off as a reader, but they are there.
On to the next, I guess. She keeps taking my money, and I keep writing reviews about it.
