Gemma Carlson didn't plan on waking up married.
She also didn't count on running into her old flame—and her son's father-turned-country rock star—Travis Bowers, followed by a night of drunken dares. Apparently one of those involved a ring on her finger and a vow … neither of which she intends to keep. Now with a hangover from hell, this good-girl-gone-bad knows there's just one thing to do: run.
Travis has been all over the world, but Gemma has never been far from his thoughts. So when they had the chance to catch up over a few drinks, he didn't hesitate. Of course, he didn't expect it would lead to marriage, or a runaway bride! Travis finally has a second chance and doesn't plan on losing Gemma again—or the son he didn't know he had. He proposes, albeit belatedly, a date. Or rather, a few. If they can make this marriage work by starting over, he stays. If not …

Gemma's not interested; she's got a son to protect and a heart to heal. But having Travis around could make both a little easier. Still, good girls don't date rock stars . . . right? -Good Girls Don't Date Rock Stars on Goodreads
Ok
so the premise of this book didn’t really excite me, I was afraid that it was
going to be cheesy or one of those lame “bad boy in a band wants to screw
everything that moves until the right one comes along” books… it was nothing like that. It was super cute and sweet with all the big romantic gestures
that I’ve come to expect from a Codi Gary novel.
Travis
was a huge sweetheart, and he seemed like a great guy. I felt so bad for him when Gemma left him in the beginning of the
book, it was an awful situation (and I would have probably done the same thing)
but I just couldn’t help but feel for the guy. After he finds out about his son his reaction was written, so well and so realistic. Not something that would just satisfy the readers, some fairy tale reaction that would be bull crap in the real world. This made me happy. He was sexy, complex, romantic
and so sweet. Travis is just so romance novel worthy.
Gemma..
boy, did I want to smack her across the face a couple or twenty times.. I had a hard time identifying with her, but I loved that she was a huge book nerd and worried about her
figure (she wasn’t born with a size two waist and gorgeous like all the other
romance girls). I liked that she was fiercely protective of her son and would do
anything for him. All in all I liked her. I wanted to smack her, but I liked
her.
This
book was really cute and it had plenty of drama and oh no! moments to
keep it entertaining. The only thing I wish I could change is, some more
storyline with Charlie, their son. I would have liked to read some of the
struggles Gemma had when Charlie was younger, and I would have liked the ending
to show a little bit more of their future as a family, but that’s just being nit picky. I gave this book four Keos!
