A superb, fantastic read! I read it in one go! I loved to read what love can do to a woman who’s into planning everything, only to realize that sometimes life intervenes to discover that love can’t be planned. To the greatest cynic regarding marriage, our hero has come to realize that with true love, marriage is his new way of life….
Rocker Colton Nix would do just about anything to rid himself of the unflattering nickname his womanizing ways have earned him in the tabloids—anything except settle down with a woman, of course. If his parents taught him anything, it’s that love is as fleeting as celebrity. But after a few too many drinks on a private island in the Caribbean, Cole wakes up with the king of all hangovers…and a wedding band on his left ring finger.
Celebrity assistant Jenn MacDonald has her future meticulously planned, and she’s ready to make her next move: becoming a songwriter. Drunk-marrying a rock star was definitely not on the list. When Cole suggests they stay married for six months so that he can ride out the good publicity while helping her launch her new career, she can’t help but say yes. She’s even able to convince herself—almost—that her decision has nothing to do with the way one glance from Cole sets her body humming like the strings on his favorite guitar.
They were near strangers when they exchanged drunken vows on the beach, but the connection—and the attraction—between them is powerful and real. Soon, they’re making beautiful music together, both in and out of bed. They’re giving the performance of their lives, until it all comes crashing down around them. But every great performance deserves an encore, and theirs might just be love. ( )

Colton Nix embraced the rock lifestyle - alcohol, hot women & sex - until it bit him where it hurt the most, his pride. He was the king of one night stands until one of the women that wanted more crucified him in the gossip rags by spreading false rumors. While in the Caribbean shooting a music video with the hot pop star he released the song with, he had too much to drink & accidentally married her assistant.

Jenn has been Kate's assistant for years. She took the job to learn the ropes in the music industry. She has a life plan - a career as a songwriter & marriage & kids with a solid steady man that's not in the music business. Waking up hungover & married to a rock star is not in that plan! That's okay, they can get it annulled. No one knows about it. Except someone leaked it to the gossip sites. Now what do they do?

This was a great story. Colton has been damaging by the way his parents treat marriage as a revolving door. Jenn's parents are strictly religious & it's affected her attitude. Her sister rebelled but Jenn always stayed on the straight & narrow. I enjoyed the interactions with Kate & her husband, Josh. It illustrated that a star in the music world could be down to earth & have a great relationship. Kate's relationship with her fans was quite a contrast to Colton's hands off relationship. It really showed why their fans were so different. Colton & Jenn both ended up learning to step outside of their comfort zone. I enjoyed this 2nd story in the series. It can easily be read as a stand alone. ( )
