One Way Or Another by Portia MacIntosh
5.0
This novella has totally got me ready to read the longer novel and I am so looking forward to seeing where these characters end up.
Bad boy Dylan is an infamous rockstar and takes his star status for granted. Sleeping with fans, partying into the morning and drinking too much champagne means he’s often late for everything. His tour manager Claire is exasperated by his immature behaviour and so hands the reins over to Nicole: the only person who can keep Dylan under control.
Dylan has to be on the tour bus to play a charity gig in less than twenty four hours but with no one knowing where he is, Nicole begins a huge wild goose chase to try and track him down and it turns out Dylan isn’t staying still for one moment. Can she find him and get him on the tour bus before she loses her job and Dylan ends up disappointing a whole host of people?
This novella was the perfect little teaser for Portia’s main novel, Starstruck. We get to know all of the main characters and learn a little about their backgrounds and their motivations. Dylan is a really exciting character and I am looking forward to learning more about him and seeing if he has it in him to change his bad boy ways. Nicola is very admirable and I felt a little in awe of her and her ability to work in the job that she did without much of a hatred for it. I know I wouldn’t be able to do her job!
Portia’s writing is perfect for the genre and has a really great level of wittiness to it. The narrative voice is believable which made me warm to the characters instantly. The plot never felt unbelievable; I can imagine the world of a rockstar is a crazy one and would involve a lot of chasing unruly men around the bedrooms of fan girls! I am really looking forward to reading Starstuck now!
A sweet novella about one woman, one rockstar and a whole heap of trouble!
