Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

My life is a mess. Literally.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a single dad, which means If I\u2019m not cleaning up spilled milk or changing a diaper, I\u2019m pulling gum from my daughter\u2019s hair. I barely have enough time to eat\u2014let alone sleep.<\/p>\n

And women? Forget about it. That ship sailed two years ago along with my ex-wife. My brother says I need to get laid. I say, screw that. I\u2019m content with my life, until pop star Nora Hayes walks through my best friend\u2019s front door and flips my world upside down.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s beautiful, famous, and completely off limits.<\/p>\n

My life is a headline waiting to happen. Literally.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It all started with fishnet stockings and ended with a baseball bat to boyfriend\u2019s Porsche, putting me on the front page of every newspaper and gossip magazine in the country.<\/p>\n

My life is spiraling out of control and I\u2019m ready to make some serious changes. What I\u2019m not ready for is a hunky man to strut his jean clad tush into my life. Grayson Calhoun is as rugged as he is sweet. He\u2019s also way in over his head with his kids, and I have an offer I\u2019m hoping he can\u2019t refuse.<\/p>\n

What starts as an agreement, turns to a friendship, and quickly escalates to stolen kisses and heated nights spent wrapped in each other\u2019s arms. What we have is temporary. I promise him that I won\u2019t fall in love.<\/p>\n

But I make that promise already knowing it\u2019s a lie.<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 sweet stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nora is America\u2019s sweetheart. Having been discovered at ten, she\u2019s grown up in the spotlight. She has little creative freedom when it comes to her music and she is tired of it. People still see her as the sweet girl she was when she started but she is ready to show the world just who she is as a woman.<\/p>\n

Being a clean-cut good girl is part of my job description – part of who I am.<\/em>
\nOr, who I used to be.<\/em>
\nTimes have changed.
\n<\/em>I have changed.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After a huge blow up with her boyfriend, Nora goes to stay with her brother until things settle down. There she meets her brother’s best friend, Grayson, who is so different from what she is used to. He is genuine and not in the business, and someone to whom she is instantly attracted.<\/p>\n

Grayson is a single dad with three adorable kids. He has a whole lot of baggage, is busy with his kids and his business, and has little time to date. He\u2019s not even interested in meeting someone until he meets Nora, and she turns his life upside down when he least expects it.<\/p>\n

Grayson and Nora are so natural together and they fit seamlessly in each other\u2019s lives no matter the differences between them. Grayson is such a sweet father and Nora is great with his kids. She can be her down-to-earth self around him and he never expects her fame to take over. They really bring out the best in each other and I enjoyed the ease they found around each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I\u2019m on stage singing, everything is a blur of black and white. But here with you, everything is crisp and bright.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love that Grayson and Nora don\u2019t just jump into a relationship. They take their time to get to know each other and the progression from friends to more is realistic. I really enjoyed watching them fall in love. Their attraction is palpable and the sexual tension is well written and believable. And when they are together, they really heat things up.<\/p>\n

Nora and Grayson have their ups and downs but nothing is too over-the-top or completely unexpected when one person in the relationship is a celebrity. They work through things quickly for the most part and realize when they are wrong. They are a functional couple and I liked that there isn\u2019t drama for the sake of drama.<\/p>\n

Overall, Wait for Me<\/i> is a wonderful slow-burn romance with characters who will warm your heart and a storyline that will keep you captivated. I really enjoyed this one!!<\/p>\n

I have to add that I was excited to see \u00a0more of Jackson and Allie from Stay with Me<\/i><\/a>\u00a0because I love when characters from previous books make cameos!<\/p>\n
