Always Rayne is the first book of the series and can be read as a standalone but you will want to read the rest of the books because Sierra has penned this story with so much depth and emotions that it is hard to put it down. Plus you want to know what happened to her friends?
Harper is a sweet, simple, hardworking girl. Her beauty is what attracts Rayne to her even though she considers herself to be quite average. Rayne is immediately pulled into her innocence and no nonsense attitude. That she also seems to be immune to his charms is another reason Rayne is so enamored by her. The book starts out with Harper getting chosen and coerced for an assignment with the famous music band. Trouble starts when she finally meets the lead guy Nic Rayne. She finds herself getting more and more intrigued with the bad boy who turns out to be nothing like his image.
Rayne is a rock star and a movie star all rolled into one. He has the best of everything at his beck and call. But when he meets Harper for the first time she leaves him spell- bound. The superstar becomes a fan even telling her the same and offering to help her to pay off her student loan as well. Short of confessing his love, he does it all making it more difficult for Harper to understand him.
Harper gets involved in their lives and the tour of the band learning more about them and Rayne, falling more and more in love with the guy. I found the story very fast and fun. The story moves along and things keep happening, it is not just a love story but a story of their lives and friends too. Sierra has given the just perfect hints of family life and friends, supportive and encouraging all making an excellent introduction to the rest of the books.
It is not just a tale about a gut trying to score but a confirmation that appearances are indeed deceptive. Rayne comes out as the perfect gentleman and manages to find favor with Harper’s parents too. The only thing I found odd was that Harper readily agrees to his plan of running the newspaper while initially she was all upright and wanted nothing to do with his money.
The writing is excellent and the flow superb, the smart, suave Rayne has finally met someone who holds his interest and is equally well read! That Harper loves books was an added plus, who doesn’t love a girl who reads? A fast paced novel perfect for a great weekend read. ( I read it in a day, review took time because of life) The characters, parents, and the ups and downs in the story are all so well written. I recommend it for its story and Rayne. Yes, he is like that! 😉
Would you spend ten days traveling the country with someone you despised if he promised to pay off your student loans?
Recent college graduate, Harper Leigh, can barely make ends meet working as the books editor for a new online entertainment magazine, Chatter. With $85,000 of student loan debt about to go into repayment, she has no idea how she’ll get by.
Just when she thinks things couldn’t get worse, Harper’s boss decides to embed her in the North American tour for the hot rock band, Always Rayne. Ten days on the road with the band for her to get an exclusive story. But Harper’s a homebody and the last thing she wants to do is go on the road with a rock band. And she definitely doesn’t want to spend ten days with the notorious bad boy and band front man, Nic Rayne.
When Nic proves to be too much for Harper to handle and she threatens to quit the assignment, Nic decides to sweeten the pot. If she stays with the tour for all ten days, he’ll pay off all of her student loan debt….but there’s one small catch.
Harper also has to sleep in his bed every night.
