review 1: I was sent this book in exchange for my honest review.New Adult literature is a bit of a guilty pleasure, I generally pick up a New Adult story because I know what's gonna happen. I picked Always Rayne because I hadn't read any NA novels about rock stars, even though I'd seen a few on Goodreads. I wanted something short and sweet, and Always Rayne delivered.It's an easy read, very predictable and an average New Adult novel. The characters I didn't find too easy to identify with, they were a bit clichés and not particularly well developed, but they were loveable nonetheless. The story is that of a young grad who works as a journalist, has no sense of fashion and to whom a very famous and desirable rock star is attracted. You see where this is going? Don't worry about it, i... moret will happen, eventually.I have mixed feelings about this book, I really enjoyed it the way I'd enjoy inhaling my whole advent calendar in one go, but I know it wasn't very good. Special mention to the despicable use of mental illness as an excuse for child neglect. I hope Sierra Avalon decides to dedicate some time to researching stigmas associated with mental health and never falls into that ugly trap again, because it made me cringe big times.Apart from that little glitch (it's only a line, don't worry), if you're looking for a sweet and not-to-deep book with funny characters and are willing to overlook the slight overuse of literary references, Always Rayne will keep you turning the pages until you're done with it.
review 2: *I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*Harper's boss sends her to tour with the band,  Always Rayne.  But Harper wants to give up the assignment because the singer,  Nic,  is driving her crazy.  NOT in a good way!  Nic wants her to stay and if she agrees he'll pay off all her student loans.  And that's a considerable amount of money!  Seems fairly easy except he also wants her to sleep in his bed each night. This was a fun, sexy read. It was able to read it in one sitting. I really liked the characters. Especially,  Nic. He's exactly what you want in a hot, bad boy rocker!  This is the first book in a series and I definitely want to read more. 4* less
