I guess I should start with the basics: the backstory. I was born and raised in California. At this point, I’m usually asked what it was like to grow up near the beach, but sadly, I don’t know. I grew up in the “other” part of California. Perfect for an aspiring writer, if you ask me. You learn a lot about keeping yourself busy when the nearest house is a mile away…and it belongs to your grandparents. I spent all my time with my nose in a book, living vicariously through the characters, until I wrote a book of my own. I was ten at the time. It was a scintillating piece that cast the family pet as the protagonist. By the time I went to high school, I moved on to romance. Why? Because I met my very own prince charming. I wrote love poems in my journal about the green-eyed boy who stole my heart. He promised, the way all storybook heroes do, to sweep me away and take me on a grand adventure. And he did. We picked up and moved to the Lone Star State and began the story of us. The best stories begin without a road map or a compass. Veering off course makes the journey so much more interesting. True to form, just when I thought my life was set, we started the next adventure. I traded in my cowboy boots and followed my green-eyed boy to Las Vegas. My home will always be in Texas, but my heart is anywhere that he is. Our beautiful daughter made the journey with us. Our son stayed in Texas, to write his own story. Somehow, in the midst of the chaos that is our life, I find time to write. Writing is what I love. I might stray from romance every now and then if that is what moves me…but I always come back. Some of the stories don’t seem romantic at all. They are gritty stories about flawed characters that find each other and hold on tight. Those are the stories that speak to me. Because that’s life. I believe that every story should have a happy ending—even the difficult ones.

It’s time to rock in Gone For You by Jayne Frost. Cameron Knight lives his life by one rule: love ‘em, love ‘em good and after a good roll in the sack, leave ‘em smiling and sighing your name. As Cameron is a guitarist for a famous rock band, Caged, he knows that there is no room for a relationship in his life. In his life, it is his music that matters the most and that will not change for him. Ever!
But that was before he met Lily Tennison. She is beautiful, complicated and everything he never expected to find in a woman. She wormed her way under his skin and she is not getting out. It was supposed to be just scratching an itch. But things got steamy and a hell of a lot more than what he bargained for. He was supposed to move away with the band when the time came, but now he does not want to leave her. He wants her in his life.
Lily has no time for the charming rock star. She is working two jobs and finally working on making her dream come true. But Cameron has something in him that attracts her, call it his charisma, but she cannot resist him. Will they be able to pursue a relationship when their lives are so different?
Jayne Frost wrote an amazing love story. Gone For You is the perfect example of a rock god finding his soul mate. I haven’t read the whole series, but this novel has made me a true Caged fan. Cameron is funny, handsome and really delicious. Lily is the perfect match for him, she doesn’t take nonsense from anyone, especially someone like Cameron, who has people falling at his feet and worshiping him like a god. The pace of the novel was wonderful and this story kept me smiling all the time. Five stars!
