Finding Chris Evans: The Rockstar Edition

I am sad to say that, somehow, this story fell a bit short for me.

Part of it may have been the number of typos - I get easily distracted by things like that. Especially when the heroine is supposed to be immersed in pop culture and geekdom, but then “Wookiee” is misspelled. Just. No.

Another part of it was that I couldn't relate all that much to the main characters.
I really wanted to like Harper (hello, fellow nerd girl!), and some scenes worked really well for me and were a lot of fun to read! And because I wanted to like Harper and her story so much, my disappointment was even bigger with the scenes that fell short.

What I liked about Harper and Stryker and their story was how they became friends first, lovers later, despite Stryker having a bit of a one-track mind. Yes, I get it, he's a guy, but simply wanting to get into the heroine's pants is not what makes a great romance hero (again: for me, YMMV).

Also, another pet peeve of mine: I'm a bit tired of the bad boy/tattoo stereotype. Ink does not equal “bad boy” (whatever that means) nor does every so-called bad boy need at least some ink to be a member of the bad boy's club. (Why the ink? What kind of tattoos? What meaning do they have for Stryker? If they're important, what' the story? If they're not important, why mention them at all? Did I miss something here?)

Overall, it was a cute read, but not my favourite story in the series.
