Publisher Description
The daughter of an aging rock star finds herself working for the hottest musician on the planet and is shocked when sparks start to fly—especially since she swore she’d never, ever date a celebrity—in this unputdownable romance that is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Emily Henry.
She wants three things. He isn’t one of them...
Dumped by her cheating ex, fired from her dream job, and about to lose her flat: Clementine Monroe is not having a good day. So when her sisters get her drunk and suggest reviving a childhood ritual called the Breakup Spell, she doesn’t see the harm in it.
But now Clemmie has accidentally ruined a funeral, had her first one-night stand, and she’s stuck with a new job she definitely doesn’t want—spending six weeks alone with the gorgeous and very-off-limits rock star, Theo Eliott.
He’s the most famous man on the planet. Her life’s a disaster. As their summer together turns into its own kind of magic, is Clemmie cursed to repeat the mistakes of her past—or will her future see all her wishes come true?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A woman stumbles into happiness with the sort of man she never wanted to be involved with in this witty, fast-paced romantic comedy. Clementine Monroe is the daughter of a bed-hopping rock star who was barely present for her childhood, and while her two sisters are in the family business, she very deliberately is not. After Clementine is dumped by her fiancé, her sister offers her a high-paying short-term gig as a live-in assistant to a musician writing his next album. It sounds like a great idea while she’s getting back on her feet—until it turns out the ridiculously handsome Theo Eliott is the guy with whom she recently had a postbreakup one-night stand. Author Laura Wood draws her characters beautifully, making Clementine and Theo charming in very different ways, and delivers abundant celebrity glamour along with some steamy love scenes. If you want a light and fun beach read with a dash of spice, look no further.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
YA author Wood (the Poppy Pim series) makes her adult debut with an irresistible rockstar romance. Though PhD candidate Clementine "Clemmie" Monroe remains close with her two half sisters, singer Lil and record producer Serena, she otherwise avoids all reminders of their famous rocker dad, even going so far as forbid herself from listening to any new music at all. After her teaching gig and her relationship both end abruptly, she turns to her sisters for support and lets them reenact the "breakup spell" they invented as teenagers. The women make three wishes for Clemmie: a one-night stand, a soul mate, and a job she loves. With no real expectation of wish fulfillment, Clemmie is impressed with herself when she does soon enjoy a one-night stand and happy enough when Serena finds her a temporary job "babysitting" a musician on a deadline. She's less excited when she learns that her random hookup was actually with global superstar Theo Eliott—and he's her new client. Shacked up in a rural beach house in Northumberland while Theo tries to finish his next album, sparks fly. Though Clemmie tries to keep things casual, Theo is determined to win her heart. He proves a swoonworthy hero, and it's endearing to watch Clemmie slowly let down her guard. The chemistry is electric and the quirky side characters add to the fun. This is one to devour.

Love the story line, great sense of humor, you could see this story in the movie as you are reading it. You cannot wait to see what happens next. I just wish there is more after the book ended. I could see different possibilities to extend this book
