Review: "Reforming the Rock Star" by Christine Bell

Note: This ARC was provided by Entangled Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Reforming the Rock Star is the second book in the Head Over Heels series from Entangled Indulgence and was written by bestselling author Christine Bell. The book can be read as a standalone but if you're like me and you prefer reading all the books in a series and in the correct order, go ahead and check out book one, Resisting the Musician by Ally Blake. ^.^

Sydney Metcalf has always wanted to escape her past, filled with memories of being bullied in school and living in less than desirable conditions in a trailer park. She's slowly but surely building her catering business, A Lil' Taste of Heaven, and while she's initially apprehensive at being asked by her best friend, Callie Hanover, to cater not just her wedding reception but the numerous events leading up to the nuptials, Sydney decides to take the task on, knowing it will help drum up business for her. What she doesn't count on is meeting Lazlo Stone.

Laz Stone leads a pretty charmed life as part of The Rift, a world famous rock band. He has money, fame, and women. The one thing he shies away from is getting into a long-term commitment with just one woman, having experienced first-hand what his life as a musician can do to someone in his life. When he first meets Sydney Metcalf, he's taken in by her sexy librarian look and immediately thinks she's a stripper for his best friend's bachelor party. When he gets to know her better, he realizes just how beautiful she is on the inside as well.

I loved Sydney and Laz's story! Sydney has her fair share of insecurities, no thanks to the rotten childhood she had, but Laz's encouragement to make her realize what a beautiful woman and talented chef she is showed that this rock star is a good looking guy with an exceptionally good heart. They have that chemistry that's needed by romantic pairings in any medium, making their coming together as a couple more realistic and believable. 

The story speaks to me, what with Sydney having to overcome her own fears and doubts to go after what she wants and Laz being able to forgive himself for what happened in the past and realizing that history doesn't necessarily have to repeat itself. This book was about two people afraid to take certain risks but needing to do so to find the happiness that they've been searching for in their lives. It was an enjoyable and satisfying read. Reforming the Rock Star gets four stars out of five! ♥
