REVIEW: Crash and Burn by Michele Callahan

Crash and Burn by Michele Callahan: Is happiness what we dream of? Or do we just dream of what we think might make us happy?

Erin Michaelson was no stranger to things not going her way or of having to do things the hard way. She had been through the ringer more than once in her 24 years and she was sure she was going to go through it a lot more. For now she was just going to focus on her brother, her music and her passions.

When Chance Walker’s mother passed away he had no idea that she would still be able to have this much of an effect on him. Yet he still found himself signing up for guitar lessons and looking a way to keep his 14-year-old promise to his mother.

Chance and Erin have little in common if you look at the surface but digging deeper these two seem like two disasters ready to happen. Will they be able to make each others dreams come true? Or will they both live in nightmares for the rest of their lives?

This is Ms. Callahan’s first novella in the Walker brother series and I have to admit I have a HUGE problem with it. I have to wait for the other three brothers! So not fair! She does a really great job in this novella of creating great characters that have a depth and are relatable. While there is some sex this is not an overtly erotic novel, so don’t expect that. Do expect some sex, some healing and some second chances while reading this compelling novella.

Every love story should have its own song…

A childhood promise has Chance Walker picking up a guitar once again. Sure, he’s been busy growing up, finishing college, and even law school. He made a promise to his dying mother and he’s determined to keep it. While his guitar playing dreams were big when he was a kid, his skill is rusty and he hires Erin Michaelson to bring music back into his life. Not only is she incredibly talented, she’s one of the sexiest women he’s ever met. It’s hard to focus on correct finger position when her sweet scent threatens to drive him out of his mind.

Less than twenty-four hours after his first lesson he sees her again, but this time she’s on stage using another name and seducing an entire audience of men. He played the gentleman card once, and it got him nowhere. This time, all bets are off and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her. A single, sizzling backstage kiss will change both of their lives forever, because Chance soon realizes that Erin is not just an itch, she’s an obsession that he refuses to live without.

Erin Michaelson spends her days teaching guitar and her nights on stage as her sexy alter-ego, Eva James. Music is her dream, her passion. All she wants is to say goodbye to a lifetime of scraping by, working two jobs, and paying for past mistakes. When a major record label exec hears her band play, she gets her big break. But life can be a real bitch, and meeting Chance now is just bad timing.

Problem #1: The record label wants her to dump her band and move to L.A. Problem #2: She hadn’t counted on Chance Walker and the scorching heat of that first kiss. And last but not least is Problem #3: Is Chance really falling in love with the dull guitar teacher, or is he really just lusting after the sexy Eva James?

Will success make all of Erin’s dreams come true? Or will falling in love make them both crash and burn?
