Or rather, used to work as a waitress.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cNo. The important question is who put the thought in your head that you couldn\u2019t be more than a cleaning lady or waitress?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I liked that Laz had so much faith in Avery, even if it was partly mercenary. \u00a0While initially their relationship raised some red flags for me,\u00a0the consent was very clear and it was obvious that they both were falling for each other. \u00a0One of my biggest pet peeves was that for a woman who&#8217;s been working multiple jobs while attending school, Avery didn&#8217;t read as very mature. \u00a0Her reactions to mishaps in their relationship and in the music industry were immature, though I&#8217;m sure a lot of that could be explained away by how sheltered her family wants her to be and how ridiculously unsupportive they were. \u00a0This is definitely one of those romances where it feels like one conversation could have avoided a lot of heartache, if only both Avery and Laz hadn&#8217;t been so stubborn! \u00a0Unfortunately, this is one of those tropes that really rubs me the wrong way, so I found myself getting frustrated with the characters.<\/p>\n<p>Overall though, while this book was more frustrating and depressive than I expected &#8211; the music business is not for the faint of heart! &#8211; I enjoyed reading this book, and I&#8217;ll be looking up the first in the series for sure.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the second in a series, but the first I&#8217;ve read, and I think it works fine as a standalone. \u201cI don\u2019t need to\u2014\u201d This time he stopped her. \u201cDream?
