Starting from Scratch

4.5“That's exactly what I want, Char. Crowd me, overwhelm me. I don't want space. I want you.” [a:Lane Hayes 7125719 Lane Hayes https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1559106511p2/7125719.jpg] delivers a romantic book without schmaltz, pretense, operatic drama, or false angst. Sure, there's Charlie who may be some folk's idea of ‘too much' but is really just an authentic person in a sea generics. I say do yourself a favor and read this series in order because it's really the story of a rock band in the modern world, from soup to nuts. Each installment delivers the love story of a member of the band and brings the next step in the band's progress. Here we have Ky, the bassist, former skater boy, and generally aloof SoCal guy who's really more than what you see on the surface. He's been covertly eyeing Charlie, the band manager, who's learning on the fly, and doing a bang up job. Charlie who doesn't know the meaning of the word plain, and can overthink any situation like a champ. Charlie isn't unaware of Ky and neither is a simpering Miss. In other words this is “Opposites Attract Heaven”.I don't know what LH's plans are for the next installments, but I'm hoping for a story for Sebastian, Charlie's father, and Grey's former partner. He's not a member of the band but ... hmm? What about Sebastian & Tegan? Too much?
