Beschreibung

I met Alessandra at a party. Tried to impress her. Was almost positive I was going to fail.I think I said something along the lines of, “I’m a Goat called Fish who’s hung like a bull—but not really. I’m actually pretty average.” Smooth. I know. Try not to be jealous.When she laughed—and I mean, really laughed—I knew she wasn’t like the other girls I’d been meeting on tour. Hell, she wasn’t even in the same stratosphere as those fangirls and gold-diggers.At one point during the party, Alessandra said, “There’s nothing like a girl’s first love.” I knew she was talking about the first smash hit by my band, 22 Goats. Alessandra said it was the first song she’d heard by us and it “hit her like a ton of bricks.” Ironic, seeing as how I was having the same reaction from being in her presence.I made it my mission to impress her. Give her the kiss of a lifetime that night. But since I’ve always been the dude with zero game, nothing went according to plan.I’m not giving up, though. I’m going to win this girl over. I’m done sitting on the sidelines, watching the bad boy getting the girl. This time, the nice guy will finish first. Even if it’s the last thing he’ll do.

Smitten is my first read by Lauren Rowe, and it was an overall enjoyable experience. Although, I am a little bit in two minds. I think it is a great read, especially when you expect some light literature. It is funny and sweet, and Fish, one of the protagonists, is a lovely guy and character. Reading a storyline where the hero does not add to the stereotypical playboy rockstar scheme is refreshing. Ally's excitement to meet 22 Goats is somewhat adorable, and I can definitely see a lot of readers sympathising due to that. And even though I was rooting for them, something about their relationship just slightly put me off. Nevertheless, the author greatly managed to showcase both characters' growth throughout the book. The minor characters were also nicely portrayed. Rowe has done an excellent job in terms of writing; the story flows perfectly. An ideal summer read and recommended for lovers of the genre and Rockstar trope. Disclaimer: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
