Her Beastly Billionaire Rock Star
Her Billionaire Romance, #7
It’s been a pretty uneventful week, which is good. Summer finally hit my part of the world, and we’ve seen temperatures of 100+ and after tomorrow, we’ll have three digits the next seven days. I don’t handle hot well to start with and when you add a third digit, I’m staying inside.
This week marks the last book in my billionaire series, and don’t remember any review sticking out in my mind, so I’ll just talk about it. Her Beastly Billionaire Rock Star was my twist on fairy tales with a mix of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast.
I love tattoos. I’ve got a few myself because I don’t wear actual jewelry. It either breaks my skin out or I lose it. So, I have bracelets that can’t get lost.
For Malakai, I wanted his tattoos to be an outward sign of the walls he’d built. That was also the reason behind his long hair. He wanted to look as unkempt and unlikeable as possible. Being a rockstar had come with some serious drawbacks, and it’d made him jaded.
Side note: I never want to be famous. Ever. To have that level of scrutiny makes me cringe. The public at large wants perfection and that’s just not possible. I hope to be a better person tomorrow than I am today. To have all my sins on public display is just not appealing at all. It makes me thankful I grew up in the 80’s before everything was recorded.
Charlotte was funny. I liked her wit and her ability to see things from another person’s perspective. Her growth came in the form of walking in another person’s shoes but not condoning or taking away their accountability. Sure, Malakai had been hurt, but he’d also done some hurting. He needed to stop being so selfish and self-centered.
Malakai’s need to protect Charlotte gave him purpose, and I think people feel more fulfilled when they’re taking care of someone else. I loved writing that. I loved how Malakai’s character grew through the book. He went from this hurt, angry guy who expected the worst from people to a guy who, while not perfect, worked to be a better person.
I enjoyed writing this one. I don’t typically do fairy tale retellings, so it was new to me, and I think that’s what I loved most of all. Something different.
