Tobin Parks has been described as a cross between Janice Joplin, Aretha Franklin, Joan Baez, Reba McIntyre, and a little bit of Elvis thrown in for balance. She's at the top of every chart, and with her sultry voice and bad girl image, she has no trouble attracting screaming fans to her concerts, women to her bed, and paparazzi to her doorstep.
Kiersten Bradley is riding the wave of her dream. The inventor and CEO of ICE, a popular energy drink, Kiersten is having a phenomenal year of success. When Tobin Parks comes knocking on her door asking ICE to be the sponsor of her next guaranteed blockbuster tour, Kiersten passes. Linking her company's name to Tobin's is a public relations nightmare waiting to happen. Both professional and personal sparks fly when the two strong-willed, very public women meet. Kiersten will not risk everything she has worked for, even for the chance to make millions, and Tobin is determined to have ICE has her sponsor.

Wishing on a Dream (Audible Audio Edition) Julie Cannon Paige McKinney Bold Strokes Books Inc Books Reviews
I rarely give up reading a book halfway through, but I got disgusted with the poor editing and lack of continuity in this book. There were things halfway through that contradicted backstory that had been given earlier, or new backstory was thrown in that seemed incongruous with the characters as they had been drawn up to then. I wondered if there were more than one draft of this book and the different drafts were cobbled together hastily without working out the inconsistencies. The book is written alternating back and forth between the points of view of the two main characters and that got annoying after a while. I'm glad that I don't have the problem that these characters have of being overhwlemingly attracted to people I've barely met and with whom I have nothing in common. I'm lucky not having to vainly struggle to tame a libido that can be triggered by the merest glance or gesture, to the ruination of one pair of underwear after another.
Kiersten Bradley is the creator and CEO of an energy drink that is competing in a tough market. Keeping ICE popular in the market, and managing a large and growing enterprise, Kiersten doesn’t have time for a personal life.
Tobin Parks, is just as focused on her career. A singer/songwriter on the top of the charts for the last few years, Tobin’s hard work and fantastic talent have really paid off. An out and proud lesbian, with a huge group of screaming fans wanting to be in her bed, Tobin has no trouble finding a different woman every night to release the high after thousands of adoring fans have enjoyed a high energy concert.
Tobin is convinced that having her next tour sponsored by ICE is a great idea, and the two will compliment each other and both parties will make millions. However, the public only know the astonishing public performer, and the speculation about Tobin’s sexual antics while on tour, both of which is such great fodder for the paparazzi and the gossip magazines. Kiersten isn’t sure that the public persona of Tobin Parks will work for ICE, but there is more to Tobin than the brand she has so carefully constructed. Is that something Tobin is willing to share, and how will they manage the blistering hot attraction they have to one another?
Kiersten is likeable and capable. She’s a go-getter in her business life, but a complete wallflower when it comes to a social life. Tobin is very different, with a different woman every night and a determination never to let anyone get close enough to hurt her. The two characters have an interesting dynamic, and the tension between the two kept me turning the pages to see how they would resolve it.
I enjoyed the ebb and flow as they gradually became closer to one another, and there was a lot of heat between the two, which came across really well on the page. This was well handled by Cannon, and her experience as a writer showed clearly in this part of the story.
This book took a while to get going, but the pace increased and the story developed into something much more compelling. There was a lovely build up throughout the middle of the book, introducing other characters to help expand the story a little, and encompass a bit more of the background from each of the main characters. It gave them a bit more depth, which I liked.
Many of these celebrity romances have a lot of external influences from the media and how that impacts on the characters in profound ways. This book has some of those elements, but they seemed to be more tempered and Cannon was more concerned with how the characters dealt with their internal struggles rather than the impact of external pressures. I think it was more interesting for me as a result.
I found the book easy to keep reading, and I liked the ebb and flow of the building relationship of the main characters. This is a diverting romance between strong women at the top of their game.
Advanced reading copy provided by NetGalley for an honest review.
I always enjoy a good romance, but this is not one of Ms. Cannon’s best books. The plot of the story was good. The two main characters are Kiersten Bradley, a self-made business entrepreneur, and Tobin Parks, a pop-music star at the top of her career. These characters were well developed.
There is a lot of chemistry between the two main characters. Ms. Cannon brings out the characters’ positive and negative personalities. Kiersten is one who is successful and charitable but is inexperienced with women. Tobin is also successful and creative but has a reputation of being a womanizer. As the story progresses, the reader is provided with the opportunity to learn more about the individuals’ personalities.
What I did not like was the transition between the chapters. Instead of having a smooth transference, I found it to be extremely choppy. Often, I would complete a chapter and there would be a big jump to another scene thus forcing me to figure out what was happening. In addition, the story jumped back and forth between Tobin and Kiersten which caused confusion as to who was carrying that thread of the story.
I can only give this book 3 out of 5 stars because of the disjointed manner in which the book was written. The story and characters were good but could not carry the book enough to get a better rating.
I was given this ARC in return for an honest review.
What was with the ending??? Ok I really liked this book. REALLY liked this book, and then it just ended. SO ABRUPTLY!!!
The two main characters were great, well thought out, intriguing back storied characters. On top of that, they were great together and seemed to make each other better people, which is wonderful to see in a love story book. The pace of them getting together was even great and I was excited when things finally started going right...and then it ENDED!!
I think I've made my point. This book could have been excellent if the ending wasn't completely rushed. Literally adding a few more pages on the Epilogue to let the reader enjoy them being together would have been nice.
Recommendation I'd still say buy this book because it's so enjoyable. Just don't say I didn't warn you about the ending...
Julie Cannon knocks it out of the park. An excellent read with The joy, the doubt, the hope and the angst of falling in love with an unexpected person.
This was a great book by Julie, but the ending felt rushed. Overall the book was a great story that I got sucked into right away.
I really enjoyed this story. The push and pull of the main characters was great and I am a sucker for the happy endings. I felt the ending was a bit rushed and wish it had been drawn out a little more but didn't ruin the book for me.
This was a beautiful story! The characters were so well developed. The story line was a well scripted and smoothly developed plot! I enjoyed every bit of it and could not put it down till the very end! Well done!
