Today's review is on All Access by Karolyn James
After reading All Access I decided to check the reviews on
Amazon. I already had my opinion, but sometimes I like to see what others think
about a book that I feel needs a bit more work.
To be honest, I was shocked to see how many 5 star ratings
this book actually had! What happened to the editing? Did the other readers not
notice the many mistakes throughout the text? Do readers just not care anymore?
Sorry, but this reader does.
Jess is quite surprised when a devilishly handsome man not
only pays for her coffee but also asks her to bring his to the table in the
corner where he’ll be sitting. She is
even more surprised when he asks her to join him. She doesn’t yet know that in
doing so, she has set things in motion that will change her life in ways she
never imagined.
The beautiful woman that sits across from him captivates
Johnnie. The best part is that she has absolutely no idea who he really
is. The lead singer of the band Chasing
Cross.
Jess’s friend has tickets to a concert. She was going to
bring her boyfriend but their relationship fizzled out and now she has an extra
ticket and asks Jess to go with her. Even though she doesn’t even know who the
group will be, Jess accepts the offer if only to make her friend happy.
The music begins, the band comes out, and the stud from the
café takes center stage as well as Jess’s heart.
I have read a lot of novellas over the years so I’m use to
the quick pace of boy meets girl, attraction is instant, passion flares, and
low and behold true love is born. However, even though I enjoyed All Access,
the story seemed a bit too rushed for me. Will I continue to read the series?
I’m not sure.
I would have loved to give All Access at least a three star
rating but there were just too many mistakes. I’ve said this many, many times
before. Invest in a professional proofreader if not two.

Book Description: via Amazon
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Jess is caught off guard when a sexy stranger buys her a cup of coffee and asks her to sit with him. He's mysterious, nice, and even though he says the right things at the right time, Jess can sense that there's something hidden about him.
*
As Johnnie sits across from the beautiful woman, he can't believe she doesn't recognize him. Everyone does. It comes with the territory when you're the lead singer of one of the hottest bands in the world, Chasing Cross. With one more show to go before taking a small break in touring, it feels like luck is on Johnnie's side. That is, if he can find a way to tell Jess who he is, without scaring her off.
*
After her best friend begs her to come to a concert, Jess finds herself standing in the middle of a crowd. The lights are off, music begins, and the crowd erupts in cheers. She doesn't know much about the band, but that's all about to change. When the lights come on, Jess can't believe her eyes. The lead singer of the band is the man from the café.
*
Plucked from the crowd during the show, Jess makes her way backstage. The encore may have ended on stage, but the real show is just about to begin. Johnnie's passion quickly turns to romance but the more time he and Jess spend together, the more things get complicated. Johnnie has a big decision to make about himself and the band, testing his loyalty and love for the music, and when Jess's dreams start to come true, she starts to realize that true love exists, but it's not always an easy path to take.
