Turn the Page is a heartfelt story about a rockstar who lost everything, struggling with his addictions and coming back home.
After years on the road, it was time for Corbin James to face the music. Almost ruined, nothing left in his career, just maybe some faith to start over, to be on track again. In his career, regrets about how he lived and handled his life made him reevaluate his priorities. Dealing with addictions, trying to be part of a family he was estranged to, being someone more responsible.
Jolie Daniels, the sweet owner of Turn The Pages bookstore, was trying to maintain her business in this town. It was her dream, a place filled with books and music. In spite of her financial difficulties, she was still joyful, not letting this deter her, caring about her customers. Fierce and Independent, she didn’t want any help, she wanted to succeed on her own.
When Corbin found one of his album in her bookstore and getting nicely turned down because of his cockiness attitude, it was the beginning of a friendship and definitely something more.
They may took their time to admit their feelings towards each other but the challenge was to make their couple work with the distance and temptations on the road. They handled it as a team, not acting like selfish or resentment. They supported each other without judging their significant other. The pace was kinda slow but surprisingly it matched perfectly to their story, something beautiful and strong.
I liked Sydney Logan’s writing style, focused on the characters’ feelings, very smooth, sincere. It was an harmonious blend.
