About MORE THAN A FEELING:
From the award-winning author of TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT comes the final story in her red-hot Rock Star Romance series, about a loner rocker finding his perfect duet.
When Cooper Hood left Snowberry, Montana ten years ago, he swore he’d never go back to the town that painted him with the same brush as his addict mother. But right in the middle of his band’s national tour he gets a call to come home: his mom’s got a whopper of a secret to reveal.
Daisy Charbonneau’s in trouble. The talent she hired for her resort’s annual Huckleberry Festival just bailed on her, and she’s desperate to find a replacement act. Luck turns her way when she discovers her high school crush is back in town—and he happens to be a rock star.
As they work together, a crush deepens into so much more, but who falls in love in two weeks? Especially when Cooper’s never coming back to town, and Daisy’s never going to leave it.

Review
Some days, I’m just in the mood for an epic romance with a
soul deep connection that lasts. And
that’s what More Than a Feeling is
about. Daisy and Cooper crushed on each
other in high school, each feeling a connection that was visible to others but
neither really taking the leap to tell the other. Cooper is damaged from his childhood of
neglect, guarded and more than happy to live the rock star lifestyle. Daisy is determined to succeed, settled in
her life in their small hometown, and mistrustful of men. But when Daisy needs him, Cooper steps up
while he’s back in town.
And then their chemistry ignites. These two are soo good together. There are a few moments where I want to smack
them both upside their heads as they are both stubborn as hell but then they do
something to get back into my good graces again. I loved the small town atmosphere, the feel
of community that Kelly weaves throughout the book. There are some deep topics touched on briefly
but not so long that the book doesn’t stay in the feel good, heartfelt mood. The drama is on the light side as well, not
overly angsty. These characters were
beautifully developed. They both had
strengths, weaknesses, and insecurities.
The secondary characters were just as great. There was a wonderful sense of community
throughout the book.
I absolutely enjoyed this book from start to finish. It was heartwarming and definitely a feel good
book. There was just the right amount of
twists to keep it entertaining without making it overwrought. I’m definitely adding this to my re-read
shelf. Now this is part of a series but
I hadn’t read the others and it wasn’t needed.
You can definitely read this as a standalone. That being said, if you’re like me you’re
going to want to go out and buy them all after reading this one.
If you’re a fan of rock star novels, I’d definitely pick
this one up today. -Peace and Love, Buxom J
Excerpt
Daisy’s fingers trailed across his shoulders as she breezed past him. Her warm vanilla and honey scent swirled in her wake, and he felt like that boy all over again who’d lived in a state of hyperawareness around her. The boy who’d noticed the way her dark hair pooled onto the desk as she’d hunch forward to write, her fingers curled around a pencil. The way the tendons in her neck strained when she’d hit and held a high note. Her burst of laughter in the music room had made him stop whatever he’d been doing just to witness her joy.
He’d hoarded all those images, those sacred moments, to pull out and comfort him as he lay alone in the dark woods, waiting for his home to be safe enough to go back inside.
She would never know it, but she’d been his saving grace.
Taking her seat across from him, she set two little pots on the table. Her vivid blue eyes sparkled in the candlelight. “Try this.” She held a spoon out to him.
Letting her feed him was just too damn intimate, so he took it from her and fed himself. Creamy dark chocolate filled his senses. “Mousse?” Although it was denser, the chocolate more velvety. Richer. “It’s good.”
“It’s a Pot de Crème.” She scooped another mound for herself. Turning the spoon upside down, she brought it to her mouth, closing her eyes when her tongue touched the chocolate. She moaned, and her tongue swept across her bottom lip.
Desire surged through him, and he couldn’t help wondering if she’d look like that in bed. If she’d go all slack and dreamy-eyed when he sucked a nipple into his mouth.
His blood rose at the image of Daisy naked beneath him, back arching, her hands digging into his hair, holding him to her as if she never wanted him to go away.
She opened her eyes and licked the damn spoon. “I had my mom make it just for you.” The silky fabric of her shirt draped over her breasts, accentuating their round fullness. Desire pulsed through him.
Jesus, would you stop already?
“Let’s try this one.” She slid the edge of her fork into the cake, a cream-covered strawberry sliding out. “It’s my favorite.” The Montana sapphire studs glittered in her ears, and her lush mouth curved into a smile. His dick went hard.
He accepted the fork, but even when the cake and cream hit his tongue he couldn’t taste a thing. Because the only thing in his mind, heart, and body was the primal, urgent need to taste her.
All that teenage longing came roaring back. He wanted her more than ever. And not because she was beautiful and had a body his hands were dying to explore, but because every single cell in his body reacted to her. Wanted her. Yearned for her.
And this was why he’d never come back to Snowberry. He didn’t want to yearn for the things he couldn’t have. Didn’t want to wait for his mother to give him a crumb of her attention. Didn’t want to be around these people who’d only ever looked at him with disgust.
“What do you think? Delicious?” Daisy’s voice yanked him out of the negativity.
And he was damn glad. Because his past didn’t matter anymore. He was a man now. He’d made his way in the world. And he had a chance to be that man around Daisy. His gaze on her mouth, he said, “Hell, yes.”
