Strings Attached (A Braebeach Rockstar Romance) by Loriana Cappello – Review by Shea Gilkerson
Strings Attached by Loriana Cappello
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ash is busking for some cash when a young woman catches his eye. He recognizes Calla from secondary school, where he remembers falling for her, although they never had a relationship. She is home in Braebeach from college for the summer, visiting the home of her grandparents where she grew up. Her relationship with her dad is nonexistent, and her mom is only interested in whatever new man she happens to be with at any given moment.
As Ash finishes up his playing and loads his car, he hears an “Ow” and turns to see Calla fall on her butt, holding her head in confusion. According to the witness, Calla was too busy staring at Ash across the street to see the giant road sign she ended up walking into. Ash snatches the opportunity to gather Calla up and get her to the hospital to be checked out.
As the story progresses, Ash and Calla both share their past relationships and experiences, inner turmoil, feelings for one another and their hopes and dreams. Since they both had been pining for one another for 5 years, they decided to take the summer with no promises and see where it leads. Both of them having opportunities to follow their dreams forces them to take a long look at how they feel about one another and what they’re willing to risk in one area to achieve what they want in others.
Cast of characters is excellent, there’s sweetness and a little spice, chemistry, inner turmoil, back story and a beautiful journey. I really enjoy these books.
