My Review of A Lush Rhapsody:
A Lush Rhapsody by Selena Laurence is a passing of the torch. The long-time rock star band – Lush – teaming up with (and at times going against) the new up and coming stars – Rhapsody. When the two bands meet up for a summer tour, the sparks fly between the newest Lush member, Tully, and the lead guitarist of Rhapsody, Blaze.
The two bands are rivals, and a romance between two members seems strictly off-limits. But the sparks between Tully and Blaze are off the charts hot. And they can’t seem to stay away from each other for long.
The band rivalry reminded me of sports in high school – there was always that one school you just had to beat – and you would do just about anything to beat them. Blaze takes this too far and ends up causing all sorts of problems for everyone, and he drags Tully right into the middle of his scheme.
I love that A Lush Rhapsody dealt with some pretty serious issues that are all too common in today’s society – and not just amongst rock stars. We got to explore Blaze’s dark side, the side that wanted to win at all costs. But we also got to see him try to redeem himself and make things right again.
Tully was the perfect almost opposite to Blaze. She finally had her dream job, and she wanted to make everything work. Between being the “new girl” and the ever-rising tension between bands, she struggles to find where she fits.
I really enjoyed how Selena Laurence wrapped everything up – mostly. There’s a lot more story out there to tell and several single band members. I love these guys, and I can’t wait to see who gets hit by the love bug next.
