Our Review
Ripped is a fun read about rock stars. Rock stars who have a best friend, love triangle situation happening on top of a heap of fame and papparazzi. This was the first time I read this author, and the first book in a series by this author.
Loyalty and love are the main themes in this book. Gemma, Kyle, and Hunter have been friends for years; turning their musical talent into a world class rock band. And they keep their band together despite all the struggles of fame and fortune. But could love between bandmates ruin it all? I enjoyed following the escapades of the band...some of them were fantastic escapes from my reality.
Gemma is a fun and great girl, who seems to have it all, but wants more. I liked how she tackled the struggles she faced, as well as life with two guys. Boys are a gross and interesting creature that take special woman to take care of them. :) Kyle was a fantastic friend, who supports Gemma quietly from the sidelines but wants more. Hunter is the wild, bigger than life character of the band. After spending so much time together, it seems only natural that love would bloom between the bandmates.
I liked the slow burn start of this book and unknown of how the relationships will work. While one relationship was forced and stilted, it was for a reason, and the lack of passion led it to the natural conclusion. But the next relationship was organic and built on many layers of knowledge and full of love and trust. It worked much better for the characters and gives hope for love and steamy romance.
.
I enjoyed this book and the plot. It was a fairly fast read, with a great amount struggles and joys. Though I'm not a rock star, I could follow their path and choices. I thought there were sections that read slow or a little rough; I felt there was perhaps too much time devoted to the relationship between Hunter and Gemma, but overall very well done.
I loved how the whole band worked together. Their loyalty is amazing and to be envied. Having good friends makes life so much more fun! It was angsty in all the right ways and kept me very entertained. I am intrigued enough to want to read the following books in the series. Everyone needs a happily ever after.
