Front Man
About the book:
fangirl scorned…
out she’s spending the summer with her dad, bodyguard for Seconds to Juliet—the
hottest boy band around—she knows it couldn’t be more perfect. But not because
she’s a fan. Oh, no. Because ever since front man Trevin Jacobs completely
humiliated her by standing her up for homecoming, Daisy is out for a little
revenge. Yup, Trevin Jacobs is goin’ down…
bandmates bets Trevin he can’t make Daisy—the gorgeous but surprisingly
ice-cold daughter of their bodyguard—fall in love with him, it’s a bet he can’t
resist. Sure, Daisy won’t give him the time of day for reasons he can’t
understand, and her dad’s hell-bent against his little girl spending time with
a superstar. But the terms are set, and Trevin is determined to make Daisy
fall…hard.

course LJ, being who he is, made sure to jump in and make arrangements for them

Jeri’s Review …
I had
the pleasure to receive “Daisy and the Front Man” by Rebekah L. Purdy for
review. It is the 3rd book of the Backstage Pass series, but I can
honestly say that it can be read as a standalone novel without problems. And I
believe except for small mentions of the persons that probably have been the
main characters of the first to books you will not get to much spoilers. (if
you can ignore the fact that the ending must have been a happy one).
I choose this book fully knowing that it will be heavy on the “cliché” side and
would most probably have a happy ending – but I guess this is no big surprise
when you read the Blurb – so it’s no spoiler.
The
writing is flawless and the story is told fluent. The author brings the reader
near to the thoughts and dreams of a teenager. And while it is logical that a
lot of stuff seems to be to good to be true – the reader will accept it as it
has to be a part of a “feel good” novel. Most of the story did feel really good
when you take the age of the characters into consideration.
Although
there were a few things that I could not relate to, as even in a fictional
story all those parts that relate to reality should remain “real”. Example the
part with the hair dye… anyone ever trying to dye his/her hair will agree that
it is not possible to dye dark (especially thick Asian hair) from black to full
blond within the time period of one – short hair – hairwash.
Still in total I enjoyed this book and I will probably take a look into the
first books as well as the probably following ones, because the authors writing
style is really good. And I assume that it is again just me being my natural critical
self.
So
please readers – Enjoy this book as a nice sommer/beach read …
