3.5 stars - A sexy, sweet, steamy, super fun rockstar romance

3.5 stars Blind Attraction (Reckless Beat Book 1) by Eden Summers is a steamy, contemporary, rockstar romance. It's a light, quick, super fun read with likeable characters. Alana has lived a sheltered life on a women's only retreat with her mother who had been a victim of sexual assault. She was taught to fear and mistrust men. Feeling stifled by this lifestyle, Alana wants to break free and experience more of what the world has to offer. She takes a trip to visit her best friend, Kate, who takes her to a Reckless Beat concert. Mitchell, lead guitarist for Reckless Beat, notices Alana in the crowd and is instantly drawn to her. She gets injured, temporarily losing her sight, the collateral damage of an assault meant for Mitch. He feels responsible, so he takes care of Alana, making the most of the opportunity to get close to her. They quickly fall into bed and love with each other. Even though certain things were completely unbelievable, for the most part, I didn't care. It was a page-turner, and I honestly couldn't get enough. Were there inconsistencies with the characters? Yes, definitely. ***SPOILER AHEAD*** For someone so innocent and fearful of men, Alana's behavior with Mitch did not really match up. She was really quick to jump into a sexual relationship with him. Also, it was repeatedly stated that Mitch was drawn to Alana's innocence and the fact that she was not a groupie. But then he treats her like a groupie by having sex with her right in front Blake while he watches and jerks off next to them in bed. This scene definitely seemed out of character for Alana, but it also seemed out of character for Mitch in light of how he saw her. I really enjoyed this story. I loved the fun banter between all the different band members. Some unresolved family issues for Alana could have been explored more in depth but didn't feel like a cliffhanger even though questions remained unanswered. Overall, this was sexy, sweet, steamy and super fun to read.
