Bring Me Back by Karen Booth

Bring Me Back

Bring Me Back will be re-released March 22, 2016.
Music critic Claire Abby is a single mom dreading her daughter’s departure for college and worried that turning forty will leave her career running on fumes. When she lands a Rolling Stone interview with ‘80s British rock legend Christopher Penman, she’s floored. It’s way more than a lucky break. Claire spent her teenage years fantasizing he was her boyfriend.
In person, Chris is sexy, charming, and infuriating. He’s not about to discuss the rumors he’s dodged for a decade. Claire tamps down her adolescent fantasies and earns his trust, unearthing the devastating secret behind his media silence. His heartbreaking story is her first priority when she returns home, a nearly impossible task when Christopher starts calling and flirting. There’s no denying his wit or his buttery British accent…and once she agrees to see him, it’s beyond anything her teenage brain ever imagined. But when Christopher’s painful past repeats itself, can Claire save the man she could never forget?

MY TAKE:

THIS BOOK IS AMAZING!!! CAN'T WAIT TO READ #2 BACK FOREVER.

Finally a book about people my own age *clears throat* I mean older than me! If you are looking for a romance book with some older characters (40ish), this is the book you have been waiting for.  Re-release of these books are scheduled for March 12, 2016.  If you pre-order you can get it for only 99¢ through March 11,2016 it is worth the full amount but why not get it for a bargain.  

Claire is a 39 year old single mother of a 17 year old daughter (Sam).  She is a writer and is put on an assignment to write a reveal all cover story about the life and new solo album about to be released, of her teenage fantasy boyfriend.  Now like every girl at some stage in their lives, teenage Claire is crazy for the British rock band Banks Forest, and in particular, member Christopher Penman.  But of course its just a teenage fantasy that will never come true, right?  Wrong!   Claire finds herself face to face with Chris Penman and fighting for self control of the fantasy to get the story, the whole story. 

Claire and Chris have a chemistry that they find hard to fight, but Claire has to keep control until the story comes out.  However the fantasy wins and they start a friendship/romance that they try to keep secret.  Of course nothing in life is easy, with constant obstacles from an ex-boyfriend, to an ex-wife's tell all book and a couple others that I wont mention to keep the spoilers down to a minimum.  It's a bumpy road to happy!

 Have you ever read something that you relate to, that gave you butterflies (for lack of a better description), because you knew how they felt.  Well as a single mom at 22, and not married until 34, I felt that reading about Claire.  I remember that "he could not possibly be interested in me" feeling. I could totally relate, well except for the whole rock star part. (no rock stars were hurt in the writing of this blog) I could write so much more about this book, but seriously I don't want to put out too many spoilers for this one. It's THAT GOOD!  

Let me tell you I have literally laughed out loud and cried real tears reading this book. This is the fairy tale all of us girls and maybe even some boys dreamed about while listening to those bands/singers growing up. 

I have to give this one the full 5 stars!  I loved it! I have already started "Back Forever".
