Description

Perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, Jenny Han, and Susane Colasanti, this companion novel to the swoon-worthy Rock and a Hard Place has Marti discovering that one kiss from a Jamieson brother can change her summer . . . forever. Marti Hunter just wants a normal life. After dealing with her cool-but-clueless rock legend father and absentee mother, she only wants some peace . . . and fun. And that includes a summer studying photography at an exclusive arts camp. For Adam Jamieson, a normal life is not possible—not when he is the lead guitarist in a rock band with his brothers. So he's thrilled to finally have an opportunity to disguise himself and live like a regular teenager at summer camp. And when Adam meets Marti, sparks fly. Between romantic bonfires and stolen kisses, they are inseparable. Then Marti discovers who Adam truly is, and her world is turned upside down. Ever since her father left her, she vowed never to fall for a rocker. But when tragedy strikes, Marti is forced to look within. And she discovers that maybe falling in love with a rock star is not so crazy after all. Marti’s life was nearly ruined by her reckless rock-star dad and addict mom when her grandmother rescued her, giving her a happy home and a fancy trip to photography camp. Meanwhile, lead guitarist Adam, the youngest brother in the blockbuster band Jamieson, is taking a break from his rock-star life and going undercover at photography camp, hoping to get some time away from his overbearing family. The two fall in love, despite Marti vowing to never love a “rocker,” and look forward to two weeks of bliss until—take a deep breath—Adam breaks his arm, Marti’s grandmother dies, the two are separated, and Marti begins to wonder if she is pregnant following a night of uncontrolled passion. Adam and Marti are both likable, relatable teens that are easy to root for. Like its companion book, Rock and a Hard Place (2013), featuring Adam’s brother Peter, this against-all-odds love story will entice readers seeking high drama, hard knocks, earnest love, and a storybook ending.
