KOZART

KOZART                                               J. NATHAN

Kozart Savage is the world’s biggest rock star. 
At twenty-five, he’s got it all. Money. Fame. And the adoration of fans everywhere. 
He thought that was enough to make him forget his past. 
Enough to transform his distrusting heart. 
Turns out that’s not how it works... 
Then he meets a bridesmaid hiding out in a hotel bar. 
Probably the only girl on the planet who doesn’t know who he is. 
But she seems to be the one girl who can give him something no one else can. 

Aubrey Prescott just discovered her boyfriend cheating—at her sister’s wedding. 
Trying to escape humiliation, she seeks refuge in a hotel bar. 
While trying to figure out how to pick up the pieces of what was supposed to be an amazing senior year in college, a handsome stranger interrupts her wallowing. 
A stranger who quickly makes her forget why she’s there. 
One who, after an unforgettable night, disappears without a second glance. 

But walking away doesn’t always mean letting someone go.

MY REVIEW:

     

The rock star Kozart knew he was coming to the end of his partying days.  Ever since being a kid in foster care he has never been able to sleep more than a couple of hours at a time.

      So, when he wakes with two blondes in his bed, he knows it’s not his best moment.  He gets dressed walks into the front room of the suite and lets the band members know, who are still partying after the concert, that he is going out.   

     He arrives at the hotel bar and sits by a young woman who appears distressed.  She is laying in an overturned bowl of pretzels and mouth full of sarcasm.

     When Kozart asks Aubrey if she’s okay, she schools him on the proper etiquette of someone passed out I a bar.  When she finished, he replies, “You’re not passed out.” 

     “Not the point, it’s the appearance.”  He apologizes and says he was just checking.  Then she realizes out of the whole full bar he was the only one who cared enough to ask.  Voicing her thoughts, she says, she is more pitiful than she thought.

     When she starts to talk, she starts to tell him her douche bag boyfriend was caught in the bridal suite with a bridesmaid.  He did wonder what all the pink and sparkles were about.  He asks, “You got a name?”  To which she replies, “Be funny if I didn’t.”  Avoiding the question altogether.  He laughs and tells her she’s a feisty drunk.  She sadly says, “No just a humiliated one.”

     When she tells all and says she’s avoiding the reception because everyone knows he saw red.  He basically said, “Let’s go!  You’re going to your sister’s wedding.  You’re not missing her big day because of him.”  She said she wasn’t brave enough.  He said he will be there with her.  She was floored.

     You see Aubrey has no idea who Kozart is she’s a country music fan, not a rock fan.  For Kozart this could be a huge risk, but he likes this feisty girl more than he could explain.  Going to this wedding which he hates wedding, to spend time with her is worth it.  Plus, to eff with her ex make it even better.

     When she wakes the next morning in just her bra and panties, she is relieved that Kozart is not in the bed next to her.  A little disappointed too.  When from the bathroom doorway he says good morning she is confused.  He explains nothing happened but that for the first time ever he slept more than two hours.  He said he had to leave and never asked for her number or asked to see her again.

     But then…a phone text from an unknown number comes in.  It’s Kozart.  So, it begins.

     I truly enjoyed this book.  It pulls you in at the very beginning and holds you until the end.  The characters bantering was sweet and funny.  Yet, you knew who to hate all the way through and who to question as in, why.  It does come with a HEA. 

     I give this:  5 stars.  Provided by netgalley.com.  Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com.
