What's Beyond Forks?: Tour! A Review of Before He Was A Secret by Becky Wicks

Before He Was A Secret (Starstruck #3) by Becky Wicks
Genre: New Adult (Contemporary Romance)
Date Published: Feb 24, 2015
Publisher: Self

Another standalone Starstruck romance from the HarperCollins author who brought you Amazon #1 bestseller Before He Was Famous and Before He Was Gone

“What if we can’t choose

Every battle we win and lose

What if we decided years before, to live this life, to fight these wars

And all the dreams we ever thought were ours

Were written in the stars”

Waiting tables isn't exactly what singer/songwriter Stephanie has in mind for her move to Nashville, but memories of the past and a case of writer’s block mean inspiration isn’t coming easy. When brooding pianist Conor Judge opens his mouth in a smoky bar he proves music can heal, and even help you re-write your story, but a history of his own means the one thing he starts to want most is always just out of reach. Stephanie.

Enter Travis Flynn - an upcoming star who won’t take no for an answer, and a record label intent on helping Stephanie shine, without Conor. As fame comes knocking as hard as the ghosts of their pasts, it soon becomes clear that no matter how hard you might fall in love, having the perfect songs doesn’t always mean perfect harmony.

Before He was a Secret is the third book in the Starstruck series by Becky Wicks. Remember Stephanie from Before He was Gone? Well, this is her story. She's in Nashville trying to make it in the music industry when she meets Conor. They make great song writing partners, and the lyrics just flow from them when they are together. I've never had an interest in song writing, but their story makes me want to learn to play a guitar and start writing songs. The characters are fleshed out pretty well, and you learn what motivates them. We get to see a little bit of Noah and Chloe from the first book, and we even get to hear from Alyssa, but this book stands alone quite well. With that being said, I'd definitely recommend reading the previous two books anyway.

Check out my review of Before he Was Famous!

Becky Wicks lives in Bali and scribbles books, and she’s mostly powered by coffee. Her first book in the Starstruck Series, Before He Was Famous recently reached #1 in Amazon’s Coming of Age and New Adult & College categories, and her three travel books, published by HarperCollins are online to make feet nice and itchy. Mostly though, she loves to write love stories. She blogs most days at beckywicks.com and always welcomes distractions on Twitter @bex_wicks. Especially if you have photos of cats.
