I Want You to Want Me
I Want You to Want Me (Rock Star Romance #2)by Erika Kelly
Derek Valencia finally has the success he’s worked so hard for. His band is touring its debut album and great reviews are rolling in. But when pictures of him tossing naked groupies off a balcony go viral, it’s damage-control time. He’s assigned a “babysitter” whose sole job is to keep him out of trouble.
Violet Davis swore she’d never work in the music industry again, but being a minder for a rock star will earn her enough to pay off the mortgage on her wildflower farm. And for a girl brought up in the foster care system, owning her own home means more to her than anything.
Though at first the two bang heads, the rocker and the farm girl soon grow close and realize that they make sweet music together. But can a girl who craves the stability of life on a farm really make it work with a man whose life is spent on the road with his band?
My Review:
I Want You To Want Me is a very drama centered YA/NA story about an upcoming band in dire need of a baby sitter who all in all doesn't do that great at her job but instead gets mixed up in intimate relationships, drugs, and other emotional immaturity with characters that are of the like in a world that's drowned in the spot light. Although I wasn't convinced of what Violet was supposed to be and the skills she was supposed to provide, she and Derek made an interesting couple and mentally were on the same level as the other so it wasn't difficult to picture them together. Both had issues that carried over from their childhood and they had issues as adults that provided conflicts for them. I still feel as if they both have plenty of growing up to do but I still enjoyed the read.
