Blog Tour: End of the Road by Karen Michelle


4 Stars

If you like romance with a Rockstar spin to it, then you will enjoy The End of the Road by Karen Michelle. We have a story about love with some shades of betrayal in it as well. Not only is this a story about falling in love but we see some betrayals from family members too, and some of us can certainly relate to that.

The author has a nice voice to her writing that will easily captivate you and keep you in the novel. The only downfall I found in the story is that I discovered who the bad guy was early on, but it didn’t stop me from continuing with the story.

The characters are enjoyable and you do find yourself rooting for them as the story goes along. I enjoyed the book and it’s a light read that would be perfect for the beach.

Excerpt One:

(It is coming up on the anniversary of rock star legend, Lars Gunner's death, 23 years and counting. Every year, Cecilia's mother remembers the good old days by watching old movies and drinking herself into oblivion. Worried, Cecilia pays her mother a visit.)

"He's here, you know," her mother whispered and her breath smelled like an ashtray.

"Who's here?" she asked.

Her mother moved away from her grip and walked over to the black roadie box, which had wheels and a handle to make transporting equipment, music sheets, and other such items from place to place that much easier. Her father had taken this one with him on the road since his first concert when singing for his supper hadn't been a joke but a reality. He never replaced it with a new one when the band had finally made it big and gourmet banquets were set out for them as if they were royalty. It was like having a lucky sock or coin, but his lucky item just happened to be a beat up old roadie box. Her mother had one too, but hers had been custom made with leopard fur and pink rhinestones.

Her mother's hand slid over the black box, pausing over the dent in one corner as if that particular dent held a fond memory. "Right after your father died, you would come in here and stare at this beat up old thing. I would ask you what you were doing." She glanced over her shoulder at her. "Do you remember what you said?"

She shook her head. Of course, she didn't. She was a toddler and those memories at that age were far and in between and a bit fuzzy at best.

"You would say: Daddy's playing his guitar and singing to me." Her mother pulled her wrap closer around her for what little good the thin piece of material would do to keep her warm. "You were always his little girl. Even in death, you loved him more than me."
