Moonlight Drive by A.R. Hadley – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Moonlight Drive by A.R. Hadley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Moonlight Drive is a contemporary romance full of drama, angst, love, hate, secrets, rockstars, addiction, friendship, groupies, and second chance romance. The story is set in the ’80’s/90’s and centers around the characters of Dani Isabella and Nicki Quick who grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. The world now knows him as Nicki Quick, but Dani knows and remembers him as Nick Johnsen, the boy next door. Nicki swore that he would become a successful musician and would one day return to save Dani but instead he quickly got swept up in the world of sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll. Dani never wanted to be saved and instead wanted to pursue her own dreams and become successful in a boy’s world. What Dani has never told anyone is that she can sing and write songs. Dani/Daniela has joined Moonlight Drive’s 1985 Loved and Wired Tour disguised as a groupie in the hopes that her childhood sweetheart, Nick, will remember her. Unfortunately, Nicki does not recognize her and instead thinks of Daniela as just another groupie. As the two spend time together Nicki soon begins to realize that Daniela is different from the rest of the groupies and that she is a talented songwriter. This was an intense rollercoaster ride of emotions as two souls destined to be together become separated by time, distance, and addiction but are brought together again by love, hope, and music.
