I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I really like romances based on alpha rock-stars, that fall in love with the quiet girl-next-door. This book had that, but was done in a way that was totally different from other books I have read with this theme. I felt the author dealt with the issue of child abuse well--fortunately, I have not been involved with a situation like this, so I don't know if it is an accurate account of what someone who grows up after dealing with such an ordeals feels, but in my opinion, it was portrayed sensitively. I thought the flow of the story was good. I would recommend and read more from this author. When I saw this rock star title from Kery, I snapped it up. I've enjoyed her Harlequin titles and Because Your Are Mine is on my TBR list. Reading it, I enjoyed it. Christian Lasher was strong yet sensitive and troubled just enough that I didn't hate him. Megan Shreve appeared delicate but had a inner strength that made her a perfect match for Lasher. He would introduce her to the world and she would offer him companionship and love. And the scenes of them together...I could definitely feel the chemistry between them. :) That being said, there was one thing that bothered me. It was revealed that Megan had experienced a traumatizing event when she was a child and had tried to make a life for herself despite it. Knowing this and trying to keep his distance, Lasher still snuck into her bedroom at night, and unknowingly watched her sleep. Stalkers are not sexy! I didn't like stalker Edward in Twilight and I didn't like it here. You would think that a man who knew about her past, would NOT attempt to treat her this way. However, this one little thing was not enough to kill my overall enjoyment of the book.
