This is the first book I read by Kathleen Gilles Seidel and I loved it so much that I have started buying every book she's ever written. This story is not only a wonderful romance about second chances but also an absorbing look at life in/with a rock band. Seidel's universe for her characters is so complete that she quotes newspaper articles about then and songs that they wrote. If you like intelligent romance novels and three-dimensional characters, you'll love Kathleen Seidel!
This is the best book I have ever read!

I first read this book several years ago in paperback, and have reread it many times since. It is truly a family story that begins with a brother (Danny )and his sister (Krissa)and how they interact with those around them. They follow the same path for many years until Krissa makes a huge turn in her life. Fortunately, later they become close again. It is a story for every woman who has ever been in love with her brother's best friend. The male/female dynamics of this book are true to life. Although I knew it was fiction, many of the rock and roll aspects are true to life and I kept wanting to cross reference the "blurbs" at the top of each chapter. It took me four years to find another KGS book (Summers End) and now I have your list to find a few more!
The best characters I have ever met! Once is not enough!

I read this book for the first time a couple of years ago. I couldn't but it down. I have never read a book that was so touching. I have read this book so many times that the cover fell off. I would recommend this book highly to anyone who loves a great story that contains real characters. You can really believe in these characters. The romance is wonderful without be sleazy. By far the best romance I have ever read. I definitly recommend that you read and enjoy this book many times.
One of the best romances I have ever read

I love all of Kathleen Gilles Seidel's books but thiswas the best. It's hard to write characters who areboth glamorous and down-to-earth. It's hard to invent a rock band that doesn't sound phony or at least sleazy, but I'm sorry there wasn't ever a band "Dodd Hall" because I would have loved them. This novel was completely believable and I couldn't put it down, even on the second and third re-reading! Please write more, KGS!
