Final Serenade - N.N. Britt

Ramblings of a Bookworm...

I've said it before, I'll say it again - I love rockstar romances, and Final Serenade was no exception.  A magical storyline filled with diverse characters, I was hooked from page 1.  Cassy Evans lives a life that any music fanatic (myself included) would swoon over, getting paid to attend shows and interview the best and brightest in the industry.
I was him and he was me, and it was the scariest and the wildest adventure of my entire life.
Take a moment and think back to when you were a teenager.  Who was your celebrity crush - be it a musician, actor, model, etc?  Mine was Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco.  Now, imagine being an adult, meeting that individual in person and having an instant connection.  Can you picture it?  ...no?  Me neither, which I think is one of the many reasons I fell hard for this novel.  N.N. Britt paints a brilliant picture with just enough twists and turns to keep you engaged.

I was completely enthralled, and I cannot wait until the second installment of The Encore duet, One Last Verse, to become available in May - especially after that cliffhanger.  You're killing me, N.N. Britt... absolutely killing me...

*Synopsis*

A secret affair with your teenage celebrity crush? Yes, please!

Music journalist Cassy Evans believes her career is made when she snags an exclusive interview with rock singer Frankie Blade.

Once a superstar of the generation, Frankie has been a recluse since a freak motorcycle incident sent his career into a tailspin seven years ago. Now that he’s returned to claim back his crown, Cassy hopes to kill two birds with one stone—secure her magazine a top spot in the rankings and meet with the man of her adolescent dreams.

A dinner invitation isn’t what she expects to get out of this interview, but the chemistry between them is undeniable.

With paparazzi watching Frankie’s every move as the two jump into a stormy relationship, Cassy risks her career and her privacy—and possibly her heart—to be with the biggest rockstar on the planet. But is Frankie worth it? Is he the humble man she thinks he is or is he just that good at hiding his demons?

Final Serenade is the first installment in “The Encore” series. Cassy and Frankie’s story concludes in One Last Verse.
