Enticing Mel, A Rock Star Romance / True Platinum Series Book 3, Morgana Bevan

Genre: Romance, General fiction ( Adult)

I was really intrigued by the Mel/Dan conundrum in the last book so excited to read this. I found the same issues for me personally as in the last book, a bit light on drama, lots of potential but its pretty much over before it starts.

Dan was a flake, did he really just expect her to wait around like a good little girl for when he was ready? Its taken a long while for that to happen, and he just seems surprised that now he's ready she's not jumping for joy!
Mel, I so felt for her, but she's done a great job with Phoebe, and of course its not just her Dan's decisions affect, so she needs to be cautious. Phoebe was a star, a little advanced for a four year old but a real sweetheart. I like that Mel has never hidden who her daddy is, always been open and never bad mouthed him. I did feel Mel over-reacted but given Dan's past actions in a way it was understandable.

I did wonder was Dan really so self absorbed that he didn't try to find out why she cut him off, made a bit more effort? But then we wouldn't have this story so It seems like he'd just decided it was a good thing, he could get on with fame and fortune and when he came back she'd welcome him with open arms ( and legs....) I did wonder if he'd gone the rock star route, taking advantage of all the free sex it offered or if he'd stayed true to Mel. Whether he still regarded them as together but just apart by distance, or whether he saw it as a temporary break that left them free to do as they wanted.

Its a fun read, real situations and very likable characters, even when I found them frustrating, over reactive, not reactive enough! For me though its lacking the essential drama I need from a book like this, that's on me, others rightly love it. Not all books suit all readers. I enjoyed this but wouldn't re-read and don't think I'll continue with this series if there are more.

Stars: three, an easy read but light on drama for me.
