About this listen
Sarah Lawrence and Ryan Crawford are two musicians with a complicated relationship history, to say the least. They are former best friends who always wanted to be more, but never took that leap of faith. Three years ago, Ryan left for LA to chase his musical dreams while Sarah stayed home. She had good reasons, but put the possibility of a romantic relationship on the shelf. Fast forward—his band’s star is rising, and Ryan’s becoming a famous rock star, while Sarah’s still sacrificing everything for her loved ones.
Now Ryan’s back in town with his band to record a new album, but they need Sarah’s help. Will they finally take their relationship to the next level like they’ve always wanted? Or will the music business and family tragedy get in the way of their dreams?
Can Almost become Absolutely?

Story
I did something I’ve never done. I couldn’t help it. The man I met at the bar was too gorgeous, too fascinating, too sexy. The next thing I knew, we had a one-night stand. Except....It turns out, he’s Denver Gilchrist, lead singer of the Road Kings, the legendary band that broke up five years ago. How was I supposed to know I was sleeping with a genius rock god? I’m just a piano teacher who plays jazz on Thursday nights. I have a happy, single life with my cat. I don’t need Denver’s brand of chaos. But now, I’m addicted. And so is he.

Story
I’ve been in love with my best friend since high school. My biggest regret? Walking away without telling her. I planned to. But then catastrophe struck, making us part ways without a word. She left for Boston with her fiancé, while I left for L.A. with my band—Raging Chaos. For the next five years, I lived and breathed music, trying to forget the beautiful girl who shattered my heart without even knowing it. Until I see her again…. I walked away once, and I've learned my lesson. Layla is my forever, not another item in my pile of regrets. And she's about to find that out.

He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted. I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated. He was the sun...drawing all of us in. I was a black hole...taking up space. He was destined to be a star. I was destined to remain an insignificant no one. Until he made me believe I was special...and then he destroyed me. I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans. One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows. Countless opportunities to make him pay. The world thought he was a god...but I know the truth.

It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends. Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn… Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

Lexie Daniels lost the love of her life three years ago. Throwing herself into her work as a photographer helped her cope with the pain. But moving on? Well, she's not quite ready for that yet. Being offered the job of official tour photographer for Fractured comes as a shock, but not as much as the long-dormant feelings the band's sexy lead singer awakens in her. Connor is a world-famous rock star with no interest in love, but his offer of one night together might be exactly what she needs to bring her body back to life. And just one night won't risk her still broken heart...right?

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

What I didn’t realize was that he would be younger than I’d imagined, single, stunningly gorgeous, and mysterious.

Amazing Rockstar Romance
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The author, Amy Booker blends the love of music, passion, loss, and trust into a romantic story. The characters and their dialogue surrounding specific situations are authentic, flowing easily. Each character is well defined and essential to the story. Her attempt to communicate the depth of emotions is successful.
The narrators, Ryan Lee Dunlap and Addison Barnes share the narration alternating between chapters. Their alternate performances of chapters allow the listener to keep the characters straight and hear the story from each perspective clearly. The combined performance by chapter is well-done. Both gave good performances and projected the characters precisely.
This romance book was well written as it had plot twists and character evolution essential to the storyline. The only downside was neither of the narrators sang, they simply recited the words to the songs. While I am not a fan of theatrics, I was hoping they would sing a cappella.
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was well done. This Audiobook was provided free of charge in exchange for a non-bias, honest review.

Almost is Ryan and Sarah’s story, Two musicians who were once best friends that developed feelings for one another along the way. Timing didn’t work out for them as he left for LA to pursue his music career while she stayed home to care for her family. They’re reunited years later and take the chance for something more. Can their relationship survive the differences in lifestyle and communication issues that plague them from the start?
Sarah was a great character. She did so so much for everyone else but never gave up on her own dreams. She was so strong even when facing the unimaginable. I felt that Ryan was the prototypical young rock star at the start but grew throughout the book. When he realized he was heading down the wrong path with the excessive partying, he made changes for the better. And I was so happy to see him rush to be there for Sarah in her time of need.
I really enjoyed this book. Both mc we’re multidimensional and as a reader, I felt their emotions as I listened to the story. There was a wide range of emotions from anger and anguish to hope and happiness. I think a lot of that had to do with the narrators. Both were easy to listen to and their pacing and flow was perfect.
I highly recommend this second chance rock star romance. I received a copy of this audiobook from the author for my honest review.
