Book Description

July 23, 2011
Emily Watts just wants a weekend break from the workaholic hours she's taken on to keep her business -- a popular fashion-snark web site -- up and running. What she gets is overnight celebrity and a career-killing media scandal.

While taking time out to attend a concert in support of friend Jesse Cinder, a struggling musician, Emily meets Cory Sampson, the lead singer of a chart-topping rock band. When she agrees to a date with Cory, making entertainment headlines is the last thing she expects. Even so, it's a minor surprise by comparison to her discovery that in the music world, media notoriety trumps all. Tabloid allegations erupt when Cory and fame-hungry Jesse use Emily for personal gain, and her tarnished image spells disaster -- personally and professionally. To save the web site and writing career she's made her life and dream, Emily must go from being a pawn in the Hollywood headline game to becoming the media mastermind.

What readers are saying about Rock Star's Girl:

"I can't recommend this book enough. If you are a fan of the music scene or ever just wondered 'what if' about a rock star, this is going to grab your attention and hold it from page one through the end." -Just Jump review

"The book made me laugh and cry and I just couldn't put it down until I finished it. Would I recommend this to a friend? Absolutely! I recommend what I love and I truly loved this. I would give it 5 of 5 stars, not only for the excellent writing but for the lesson on not believing everything you read in the gossip column." -My Life, My Randomness review

"Rock Star's Girl is a compelling, entertaining and amusing read. If you're in the mood for some light-hearted romance with a smart and savvy edge, I encourage you to pick it up. But be forewarned -- it's difficult to put down." -Amazon review

"Great book! Very enjoyable. Read it in one sitting flying from SLC to MEM ... I want to know HOW much of the book was real and WHO the muso was." -Amazon review

"The ending surprised me, but I liked it. It's not what you'd usually expect and it was refreshing ... if you're like me and you love storylines that involve Hollywood, celebrities, rock stars and actors you'll enjoy this book." -Goodreads review

Novelist J.F. Kristin and I have been friends since elementary school, and attended both high school and university together. Our friendship may be the reason I picked up "Rock Star's Girl," but it's not the reason I kept reading.

I had long since given up reading Chick-Lit, finding myself frustrated by the sheer stupidity of the characters in many popular novels of this genre (the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella comes immediately to mind). But Kristin's protagonist, Emily Watts, is no idiot. She's an educated, intelligent, and witty woman -- just like the author herself. Sure, Emily makes a few dumb moves in the game of love, but in the end her braininess takes the win.

"Rock Star's Girl" is a compelling, entertaining and amusing read. If you're in the mood for some light-hearted romance with a smart and savvy edge, I encourage you to pick it up. But be forewarned -- it's difficult to put down.

Fun, relatable and surprising. I don't read chick lit often, so to capture my interest in this genre I have to be pulled in right away. Finally, we have a female protagonist (Emily Watts) who isn't lost, ditzy or dying for a man. Emily Watts is who I want to meet when I read chick lit - she's smart, focused and sarcastically funny.

The pop culture references incorporated by the author make the reading fun, relevant and light. It's visually very descriptive. I felt like I was following along the way in LA street by street and venue by venue. There are some great plot twists that I didn't see coming and felt totally satisfied at the end of this read.

I highly recommend this book for those who like chick lit and those who read it on the fringe. It's like a little candy for the brain.

fun read September 5, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting to read a story where the main character is 26 years old.

This book has that young adult feel, but is set around adult characters. They have jobs, responsabilities and their judgement is not clouded by their teenage hormones.

Emily Watts is a lovable character. She's a strong woman who has a head on her shoulder. I felt like she could've been one of my friend.

The love interest is everything you'd want but with a touch of reality, meaning that he is far from perfect. Something that is often missing in books. Aren't we tired of always reading about the perfect guy who says the perfect thing, who does the perfect thing, who looks perfect... Thank you J.F. Kristin for that touch of reality.

The ending surprised me, but I liked it. It's not what you'd usually expect and it was refreshing.

It's definitely worth a read. If only for it's entertainement value. Plus, if you're like me and you love storylines that involve Hollywood, celebrities, rock stars and actors you'll enjoy this book.

Best of all, it's only 0.99$ !!!
