It was fun to watch them become who they are and grow into themselves. The plot was well developed and moved smoothly. It was a bit predictable but there were definitely a couple things that caught me off guard. The writing style flowed well kept me engaged in the story. I really enjoyed the Lucky Girl and will definitely be reading more from Ms. Rollins in the future. If you like rockstar romances you should definitely check out both Dear Rockstar and Lucky Girl. I was excited to head back to the 80's with Sara and Dale and to see what was in store for them.
Part of my problem was that it didn't have that same 80's feel as Dear Rockstar and that is what really drew me in. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy this. I just had a few issues. What made me really, really happy? I am really glad that it turned out this way, because my heart was breaking. And I really did not see it coming.
It was only pages and I don't think that was long enough time to fully develop this story. The whole issue with Sara's biological father left me feeling unsettled. I mean, really, she accepts him, just like that? There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of emotion involved. And then there is the "step-beast", I would've liked to know more about what happened there. All in all, it was enjoyable for what it was. If you've read Dear Rockstar, it won't kill you to read this its only pages , but you won't die if you don't. It might give you a little piece of mind though. Copy received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Oct 20, Lisa rated it really liked it Shelves: I will admit that I liked Lucky Girl better, because both Sara and Dale had matured being that the second book was set 2 years after the first. I think the hero and my favorite character in Lucky Girl was Dale's dad John. He was loving, caring, always looking out for Sara and Dale.
He was like the glue that kept everything together. And it made me happy that he too found love in this story. Sara becomes like a daughter to John. She stays behind living with John back in New Jersey finishing school and then working while Dale's band was away recording and touring. I also liked the supporting characters in the book.
Aimee and Matt, Wendy and Carrie and then Ben. And last but not least I really appreciated the epilogue at the close of the book, it brought the book to a very nice end. For fans of "Dear Rockstar".
Guest Blogger: Sunny’s Review of Dear Rockstar (Dear Rockstar #1) | Sun Mountain Reviews
The awaited sequel where we discover what happens with Sara and Dale. This relatively short one is full of suprises and fast paced. We get to see the backstage of music industry and meet managers not better than sharks. What does it take to promote a band and create the perfect image illusion really to please the fans and sell records? What lies to tell the public and what secrets to keep hidden But Dale knows what he wants and is not ready to sell his soul and co For fans of "Dear Rockstar".
But Dale knows what he wants and is not ready to sell his soul and compromise everything he is. He remains true to himself. Dale's greatest love is Sara and he supports her in everything she does, at every bump of the road. He truly is a great guy! And it's comforting to know Dale is not led astray, not tainted by fame. It's also good to see Sara fighting to reach her goal and become an artist, a stronger woman. She faces her demons and knows that in spite of her horrific past, thanks to Dale she really is the luckiest girl in the world.
Imaginative, never boring, Emme Rollins has introduced surprises, suspense and emotion without the quite common angsty love triangle you can find in other books and I found it refreshing! Oct 10, Eileen Robinson rated it really liked it Shelves: This is the second book in this series, loved the first one and hoped not to be disappointed in this one. Glad to say i wasn't disappointed!! This time around we find a more mature Sara and and even more adorable Dale. Dales band is taking off and becoming famous.
Sara has finished college and is now working, this book deals with a lot of things affecting their lives. Dale has grown up believing that rock star Tyler Vincent was his and his sister Crissy's real father, though Dale had always kept This is the second book in this series, loved the first one and hoped not to be disappointed in this one. Dale has grown up believing that rock star Tyler Vincent was his and his sister Crissy's real father, though Dale had always kept that secret from his "dad" John. Sara has always grown up believing her real father was dead, and she great up abused and tortured by her "stepbeast" father.
I loved this story line and all the little twists to come out of it. This book keeps you on your toes the whole way through right to the end!! I loved how Dale and Sara coped with things that were thrown at them. It had humour, angst, sorrow and tears and hotty totty sex scenes!! Nov 03, Sade rated it really liked it Shelves: It was a little strange at first seeing that I was 2 years old when this book was set, and the lack of technology.
But for the most the decade difference didn't prohibit my enjoyment of both books. Although I had found both books pretty predictable I greatly enjoy the story. The story is well written, the characters were mutli-dimensional, and despite being an ARC there were very few editing issues. I loved John and how he so easily and effortlessly cared for all three young adults. I felt like it kinda ended abruptly and I'm hoping there's a third book in the works because I need closure.

I love Dear Rockstar and didn't think it could get better but boy did Emme Rollins change my mind about that! I love the whole two years later concept. We meet old characters and new in the form of Chrissy Dale's sister and a few other surprises. I wish I could give this book more than five stars because I truly enjoyed and loved reading this book!
It only took me a few hours to read: P Worth picking up a copy and supporting Emme Rollins!!!! I love the big confrontation between Dale and Ty Eeek! I love the big confrontation between Dale and Tyler it was bound to happen and I'm glad it turned out the way it did, I am so glad that Dale and Sara are still together and going strong in the book and everything they do together is sickly sweet and I want my own Dale Diamond! D Love it to pieces Emme Rollins can't wait to see what you come up with next because if it's anything like Dear Rockstar and Lucky girl, it's going to be one hell of a story!
Dec 28, Morilyn rated it it was amazing Shelves: There are new situations facing this adorable couple: This was a really good read, winding down after the holidays, so much so, that I then went on to reread another story by Emme straight after it came to an end! Oct 21, Charlene rated it really liked it. Lucky Girl is the sequel to Dear Rockstar, and in this story we see the continuation of Dale and Sara's lives together.
A lovely trip back to the 80's for me as well - I could really envision those pink bridesmaid dresses! I thought this was a very sweet story, and while there is some conflict and issues to overcome, they weren't overwhelming. There are other issues from the past which arise, threatening both Dale's career and their relationship. I'd have to say Lucky Girl is the sequel to Dear Rockstar, and in this story we see the continuation of Dale and Sara's lives together.
I'd have to say though, that I honestly never felt that they wouldn't get their HEA. The revelations at the end of this book truly took me by surprise and that doesn't happen too often! This would have been a 3 star read but for the ending The steamy scenes in this one were more plentiful All in all, a good solid, sweet read. Jan 28, Dana rated it liked it. Lucky Girl, at times, felt like the author needed to hurry up and write a sequel and wasn't given near enough time to really do it well. Early on in the story, there were a few pages where the POV went from 1st person to 3rd person and back again, all within the same paragraph.
It was confusing and distracting. It felt forced, like the author hadn't really come up with the full story before she had to put it in writing. I still like Dale and Sara, but the book just didn't have the same feeling as Dear Rockstar. And the whole ending felt really rushed - like we just had to get it all wrapped up quickly. Again, while I liked it, I think it could have been a better sequel than it was. Nov 03, Sada Maciel rated it it was amazing. Dale Diamond finally made it as a rockstar.
But also one of his biggest secrets. Sara doesn't want to ruin Dales career so she agrees to keep quite even though that's not what dale wants. Dale is tired of Sara being a secret so he takes her on his tour. Dale steps up and does right by Sara but can more secrets come between them?
I fell even more in love with Dale in Dale Diamond finally made it as a rockstar. I fell even more in love with Dale in this sequel. Great end to a beautiful rocker story. I highly recommend this book!!

Oct 21, Stacy rated it it was ok Shelves: I won this book as a FirstRead. This sequel to Dear Rockstar focuses on Sara and Dale's relationship as he and his band become famous. Dale's agent wants him to promote himself as single for the groupies, so Dale is forced to hide his relationship with Sara from the public.
I thought this book was just OK. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the first book of the series, but the characters seemed to be more in lust than love to me. Also, at the end, I felt there were a lot of loose en I won this book as a FirstRead. Also, at the end, I felt there were a lot of loose ends left to be addressed but weren't.

Nov 17, Laura Elizabeth rated it liked it Shelves: I received a copy of Lucky Girl for the purpose of an honest review from NetGalley.
NA romance This novel is set in New Jersey. I know that is so far back as to make this practically a historical but back in , I happen to be living in NJ. I know it, like the back of my hand. And that may be the problem since some details seem to be off and the mistakes kept on accumulating. This isn't a horrible NA novel with eye-raping editing like some that I have read recently. She says that she is "in love" with this rockstar, wanting to marry him, and yet. Of course, this is all before she meets the hero who is the spitting image of her rockstar, albeit 20 yrs younger.
The hero zooms in on the h like a torpedo and has eyes for noone else right from the very first second of meeting. I have no idea. And then there are the pop culture references. Some of them Jordache jeans and Flashdance fashion were already passe by New Kids on the Block and Tiffany both had their first hit in , not Aug 19, Kim Bailey rated it liked it Shelves: Her characters are well written and the storyline is solid.
There were some very nice moments in this book. It was however, a bit predictable in spots - and some of the more meaningful moments were skimmed over, while less important things got more n 3. It was however, a bit predictable in spots - and some of the more meaningful moments were skimmed over, while less important things got more note than necessary.
Not a bad book at all. I enjoyed my time with it. This was a nice enjoyable read. It wasn't spectacular and it was a little predictable but overall I liked it. I especially liked that it was set in the late 80's and all the old skool references. I guess if you are looking for a fluffy read with a HEA then check this one out. I thought Dear Rockstar was a great read. She may have seemed like a crazy obsessed fan but in reality the idea of Tyler Vincent allowed her to escape reality and provide some sort of positive outlook for her future when the present was nothing but hell.
Sara is part of a continuing education program to receive her high school diploma after missing her senior year. Her and her friends all have their demons and reasons for re-going to school. She practically breathes Tyler Vincent from morning to night. That is until Dale strolls into her class one day and although he reminds her of Mr.
Sara must learn to accept Dale into her life, even the dark parts. Where the title comes in will shock you as it did me but I thought it was a great way to provide 'evidence' so to speak. He reminded me of a mix between normal Jerry Garcia and Jerry Garcia on acid. Either way he was a great addition to the book and provided some semblance of fatherly normalcy for Sara.
Overall Dear Rockstar was a great read. She may veer more on the extreme side but this fantasy allows her a happy place when home basically sucks. Tyler Vincent has been her escape plan for years, obviously most of her plans were far-fetched and thankfully Dale helps her realize this. If rockers and neon legwarmers are your thing, I highly recommend Dear Rockstar.
There are of course Adult themes and sexual situations that fogged up my glasses. Dear Rockstar was a very unexpected read for me. I didn't know about it until my friend Christina told me about it when she read it and told me I had to simply read it. Since it wasn't expensive on Amazon I bought it but normally any Kindle books I buy, will be unread for months since I have so much to read but she convinced me to read it with the review she wrote and the way she raved about it.
Oh, what would we be without our bookish friends? Dear Rockstar is a story about an year-old Sara w Dear Rockstar was a very unexpected read for me. Dear Rockstar is a story about an year-old Sara who has a complete obsession with rock star Tyler Vincent and dreams of meeting him in real life so he can rescueher from her awful home situation. While she starts a new school year to try and get her diploma she meets Dale Diamond, a new student in her school.
When they fall completely in love with each other things get complicated when secrets arrise and Sara has a chance to meet Tyler. I must say that I love love love the 80's and I loved all the references to it in the book. That's one of the major reasons why I loved Dear Rockstar. The other major reason is that the romance was amazing.
When Sara and Dale fell for each other it felt so genuine and real. It was actually believable even though it happened kind of fast. Something that feels real and believable like that is hard to find in any book lately in my opinion. Sara was a great character to read about, though a little too obsessed maybe but with everything she went through she's allowed to be I think. He was exactly was Sara needed and he also needed her. I love how he wanted her the moment he saw her and went straight for her.
And oh my god, that Skittles scene was just to die for. I liked Sara's friends a lot. They all seemed to have their own problems and inperfections. Yes the BEElievable is an inner joke. You'll get it when you read the book! I can't get how with everything he did to Sara that she still had hope to get out of town and get a better life. I was almost crying when everything that happened to her was revealed at the end. He was the most horrible man ever. I also can't get how her mother let everything happen like that and what she did at the end of the book.
Luckily Dale's father, John, was great. He's a great father to Dale and he's so nice to Sara too. I really liked him. Of course this wouldn't be a new adult book without some heart breaking and shocking events. I must say the "twists" involving Dale and Tyler Vincent weren't as shocking to me because I suspected it all along and guessed it all right. It was a little too obvious to me. Also the last pages were a little too rushed for me and the ending a little too wide open. It was a great ending but I wished to know more about what was going to happen not only to Sara and Dale but also to Aimee and Matt.
So that's why the book didn't get a full five stars but I still thought it was a fantastic book and loved it. Overall Dear Rockstar by Emme Rollins was a remarkable new adult book that caught me by surprise by how much I enjoyed it. I'm sure they will all love this book as much as I did! Jul 02, Heather rated it it was amazing Shelves: Best book ever my friends!
I suppose I should start with the prerequisite I received this book in exchange for an honest review and boy was it good. Where do I start? You can absolutely totally FEEL the heart that was poured into writing this book. Which BTW I totally get. I totally wall papered my Er-Mer-Gerd! Not ashamed to admit it. I completely get that obsession. Except nobody resembling Joey McIntyre showed up to take my breath away.
I understood that pain she was covering up. When I tell you I was completely sucked into this book, I am not exaggerating. No interruptions children, mama is reading and mama is gonna finish this book tonight. You have been added to my shelf of book boyfriends. It was in a soul mate, you complete me, your my other half kind of way. I just answered a question in a Goodreads group about what do you not like in a hero or heroine.
He protected her when she needed to be protected. He was patient with her. I want a Dale. Then there were the love scenes. Best that I have read in awhile and I have read some good ones. Definitely not for the young set. This is one for the grown women who want to swoon — a lot.

Jul 13, Lisa Kane rated it really liked it. Sara is 19 and goes to Iselin Academy, along with her best friends Aimee and Carrie.
A time when people relied on land phones and MTV reined on cable. He seems to zero in on her and the two strike up a friendship. Sara lives with her mother and her stepbeast, as she refers to her step father. Sara is afraid of him and hates him, and longs to get out of the hell her life has become. In her mind she knows Vincent has the perfect life and has a warm relationship with his kids.
He lives with his dad. His mother had a long term affair and ended up leaving his dad, thinking her married lover would do the same. Although I enjoyed parts of this book, I had a bit of a disconnect with the characters. Dale seemed obsessed with Sara right from the beginning and felt things for her that usually develop over a little more time. I found myself questioning why Sara put up with the violent, abusive situation she found herself in, I understand she had no education or resources but the severity of the abuse would seem to supersede those factors.
I never quite got why she was so obsessed with Tyler Vincent and lived in such an imaginary life in her head. Given the bleakness of her own environment, she would need to fill that void, but the worship of this particular individual confused me. I would give the first half of this book a 3. While their relationship seemed a little unrealistic, Dale is definitely swoon worthy material. The plot turns keep coming at you, twists by twists at the end and that keeps the story moving along at a fast pace.
One of its most appealing factors is its HEA and has no cliffhanger, such a refreshing change of pace these days. I was completely swept away by Dale Diamond and I loved every minute of it!!! There is an instant connection when they first see each other in class but they both feel it for different reasons. As their story begins to unfold, you learn there is so much more than meets the eye with these two characters. Their journey together takes some very intense twists and turns and even though I saw some of it coming I still felt every bit of it.
The relationship between Dale and Sara was sweet, sexy and intense all at once. Dale Diamond what a name! This story took me by surprise and I absolutely loved it! I received this e-RRC in exchange for an honest review. Jul 16, Christie72 rated it it was amazing. However, Dear Rockstar is not just about sex.
It's a sweet love story about two individuals who haven't had such great childhoods, but who finally luck out when they find each other. Sara is one of the strongest female leads I have come across in a while. She has been in one of the most evil and darkest places I think a human can be.
That she not only survives but perseveres and flourishes is a miracle. Dale has also had an unhappy past, although not as traumatic as Sara. So, when she and Dale meet, that darkness becomes full of beautiful light! They have to be one of my favorite couples. They come to share a real, honest love with one another. Dale is a knight in shining armor.
It makes a girl yearn for a Dale in her own life. And if you are lucky enough to have one, you appreciate him more. There were other things I liked about the book.
I really liked the secondary characters such as Aimee and Dale's dad, John. They really added to the storyline. They were a great source of support for Sara and Dale. I also felt like the writer dealt with the difficult issues in a very sensitive manner. On a lighter note, I loved that the story took place in the 80's I may be showing my age, but it brought back fond memories of that decade. I had posters plastered on my wall too! But, the love scenes stand out for me It wasnt just two bodies coming together seeking pleasure but two damaged souls meeting and becoming something absolutely beautiful!
I can't wait to read her next book. I will be adding Emme Rollins to my list of favorite writers! Jul 10, Tracey rated it it was amazing Shelves: This book was provided by the author for an honest review.. Dear rock star had me at the Skittles, and smurfs. The fact that this was set in the 80's was a treat, there were so many nostalgic moments.

She has enter This book was provided by the author for an honest review.. She has entered an art contest to go to Main for art school based just on the fact that, this is where Tyler is from.
On the surface Sara appears to be another obsessed fan. Under the surface Sara has built a fantasy life that has helped her through a childhood that was terrible. A monster of a step father, and a mother who won't stand up for her. This fantasy is her plan to get out of her home.
Her dreams have kept her sane. As she sits in her chemistry class Dale walks in, he looks so much like Tyler Vincent. After a class of small talk, and a red heart made out of skittles. Dale and Sara star a friendship that becomes the reality Sara needs. But will she choose reality over her fantasy. Dale just happens to be an inspiring rocker, and Sara starts to see that he might be the one who can save her heart.
Dale was a great character, so sweet and understanding of Sara. These two are hot together. This story had so many layers that were peeled back to find secrets, and uncomfortable truths. It was a story of love, friendship, and acceptance. Do yourself a favor read this great book. Take a trip down memory lane if you remember the 80's. Or if you don't find out what all the fun was about. Either way this was a great read I truly enjoyed it.
Think back to that rockstar, boy band, rapper or Remember all the fantasies that you created of this person? Remember how you felt like you knew them? Remember how you put them on a higher pedestal making them more than human? Well take what you did and multiply it by 80! In "The Warm up" begins with Sara an Think back to that rockstar, boy band, rapper or In "The Warm up" begins with Sara and her friends in alternate high school. There is a rumor that there is a new guy in school that looks like no one other than Tyler Vincent. Sara find THIS hard to believe! There is no one she has eyes for other than Tyler and there is no one who she will ever have eyes for.
Until Dale sits next to her in Chemistry class He's from the same city! He plays the guitar! This guy is so dreamy, but will his secret tear them apart? Dale and Black Diamond are naturals on stage! Girls don't even know their name or songs they're singing but somehow they suck them in, making them love them. Dale and Black Diamond are a new band together so they practice a lot, making sure they are polished enough when they end up on MTV.
The only problem is that Sara's plans may get in the way of Dale's too! I received this book in exchange of an honest review. After reading this book, my emotions were everywhere but in a good way. I didn't even intend to cry. But my tears were pouring. I'm just so happy I've decided to read this book. Dale and Sara's chemistry was intense! Their relationship was real. There were times that it reminded me of another book that I've read before. It brought out some emotions After reading this book, my emotions were everywhere but in a good way. It brought out some emotions that I was feeling when I was reading Love Unscripted.
But this one's way better Dale Diamond reminded me of Ryan Christensen.
Lucky Girl
He's so mature and so in love with Sara. One of the best I have ever read!!! In the beginning, I already had my suspicion who Dale really was. It's just that I doubted it when his dad was introduced. I thought I was wrong. Then, he said his mom had an affair. It brought out my suspicion again. But I told myself, his dad couldn't be that dumb, right? In the end, I was still right.
The thing that really surprised me more was Sara's revelations. It would have been better if those were revealed a lot sooner in the book because it kept me a bit blindsided in the end. But there were so many goods in this book. It's almost perfect for me. The ending was quite unique, actually.
See a Problem?
I'm so happy about that. I don't think a sequel would be necessary because I don't want more drama.

Sara has a major obsession with Tyler Vi I received a copy of this book from the author for honest review. Sara has a major obsession with Tyler Vincent that began when she was 14 years old. He is the focus of all her hopes and dreams, and a way for Sara to escape her reality. Along comes Dale Diamond. Gorgeous, sexy, confident and looking just like a younger version of Tyler Vincent.
I loved the chemistry between Sara and Dale that sizzled right from the start. Beyond that I loved the developing relationship between them. Dale was such a sweetheart and a nice change from the bad-boy rocker type character that I often come across. I loved how Emme Rollins managed to write a character like Dale Diamond with all that rock star charisma and sex appeal yet underneath everything Dale was a good guy.
This was a more than just a rock star romance as the story deals with some heavy issues. It was an entertaining story with some wonderfully steamy scenes to keep the pages turning. I received a copy from the author for an honest review. This book Holy crap. I loved everyone in it. Dale and Sara were so adorable and bearable.

I wish there was a bit more referencing though a few big names were dropped at first and alittle in the mid areas but not much after. But other then that. This is a must read for anyone looking for hot smexy rockers. It gave me angst and love and the whole kitchen sink. The drama in the book was all real and believable as well flowed very smoothly for me.
I want a Dale of my own so ladies lets figure out how to make a bunch of them and ship em out, stat! He's been book boyfriended as of now. I also loved how it was a HEA soo many series books now a days it was nice for a good story with a sweet ending. Thank you Emme for allowing me to read your book I will have it on my re-read list probably forever. Jul 07, Illustrious Illusions rated it it was amazing Shelves: So, if you are an older reader who doesn't feel like they have anything in common with this new genre, you will love Dear Rockstar and the memories it evokes.
Sara has faced some challenges in her young life that could have destroyed her, but she has found a way to create something different. Dale learned some hard truths in his young life, but is one of the most compassionate men I've met in awhile. I also adore when the supporting characters have pivotal points in the story as they do in this one.

Jul 20, Kelly rated it really liked it Shelves: But no need to worry because Dale and Sara are Amazing? From go I could feel the connection they had. Dale is an amazingly,swoonsy, Prince Charming of sorts and Sara is in need of his love. You will love her! She is one of those characters you just want to take under your wing and protect. So where does Tyler the Rockstar figure into this??? I'll admit it was a hard sell for me, this utterly crazy way Sara obsesses over him.
In the end I got it. Some of this was hard to read because although you know where things are going you can't help but die a little for Sara. Now Dales story was a little different for me. It reminded me of another book. Don't RUSH to conclusions because it's not exact but just elements were similar. I can't end this without mentioning how incredibly sensual the sex scenes were! They are so well written that I could actually feel the emotion pouring off of Sara and Dale. Another neat thing being set in the 80's I'm an eighties girl!
