*BOOK REVIEW* What Goes on Tour – Claire Boston

whatgoesontour
Synopsis
What goes on tour, stays on tour … or does it?
Few people know that socially awkward Adrian Hart is actually rock god Kent Downer, and that’s the way Adrian likes it. His privacy is essential, especially now that he has guardianship of his orphaned, ten-year-old niece, Kate. But when the nanny quits in the middle of his tour Adrian finds himself in a bind.
Until Libby Myles walks into his life.
Libby has only ever wanted to become a full-time author and prove to her parents that she can make it on her own. On the surface, the temporary job as the nanny for Kent Downer’s niece looks perfect—the pay is fabulous, the hours are short and Kate is a big fan—it’s the rock star that’s the issue.
Arrogant and way too attractive for anyone’s good, Kent Downer has enough swagger to power a small city. But when he’s out of costume he’s different—shy and uncertain. For Libby it’s a far harder combination to resist. She needs to find a balance between work, writing and ignoring her attraction to the rock star, because if she falls for him, it could mean the end of her dream.
But when a horrible scandal is unleashed—putting young Kate in danger—there’s more heat between Libby and Adrian than just sexual attraction. Libby must figure out if Adrian ever cared for her, or if it was all just part of the show.
REVIEW
Debut Australian author Claire Boston ignites passion and heart with her debut ‘What Goes on Tour.’ I love myself a rocker romance, they make my heart all fuzzy and happy. Adrian and Libby were no different. The chemistry they shared was electric and heartwarming.
I loved Adrian and his care for his niece Kate. Being a rock-star can be seen as all parties, the high life and rock and roll. In this debut novel by Boston however changes the game and does a remarkable job at creating a noble and enticing character that has his faults but is full of heart. We all hear the news reports classing a “rock star going to be supermarket” as newsworthy and it was refreshing to see Adrian portrayal.
Being a rock-star and taking care of his niece who is ten has its hazards, that’s why he needs a nanny whilst on tour in Australia. (Side Note- Yay for novel locations within Australia) Libby wants nothing more than to be a successful author, but realises it won’t happen overnight.
I loved how she was introduced to Adrian (Kent – stage name) and Kate and how a temporary fall in motivation creates such a unique and charisma within the narrative. I enjoyed reading the book, it was fresh and fun with romance and heart. For a debut novel it was a wonderful read and having a rock-star at the forefront kept me reading. Overall, I rated it a 4- Lit Love as it brought the message of unconditional love, fighting for love and also being true to yourself.
AUTHOR BIO
Claire Boston was a voracious reader as a child, devouring anything by Enid Blyton as well as series such as Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, The Baby-sitters Club and Sweet Valley High. Then one school holidays when she’d run out of books to read her mother handed her ‘Hot Ice’ by Nora Roberts and Claire instantly fell in love with romance novels.

The love of reading soon turned to a love of writing and she struggled to keep within the 1500 word limit set by her teachers for her creative writing assignments. When she finally decided to become serious about her stories she joined Romance Writers of Australia, found her wonderful critique group and hasn’t looked back.

When Claire’s not reading or writing she can be found in the garden attempting to grow vegetables, or racing around a vintage motocross track. If she can convince anyone to play with her, she also enjoys cards and board games.
Claire lives in Western Australia, just south of Perth with her husband, who loves even her most annoying quirks, and her two grubby, but adorable Australian bulldogs.
