When I Remember Love by Trish Silver

From the back cover:
 In the romance novel When I Remember Love, a beautiful young woman grieving the sudden death of her mother is invited to stay with her favorite aunt in California. As she arrives in Los Angeles, Jenna Holden has no idea that her life is about to change forever.
Jenna's aunt, Vanessa, a music agent, has just signed Aidan Price, a gifted and promising new performer who bears a striking resemblance to a young Johnny Depp. Aidan has come to Hollywood to compete on American Star, a very popular televised singing competition. Vanessa arranges for Jenna to meet Aidan at lunch, and their connection is instantaneous and electric. From there they begin a sizzling courtship that leads them on a whirlwind journey through the demanding music business and media scrutiny that accompanies Aidan's new found fame. Despite all the intrusions which result inevitably from success in the entertainment world, Aidan and Jenna create a passionate and loving life together-a life, though, that is soon to become much more complicated than the "easy" life we so often assume comes with fame and fortune.
As they are forced to deal with the pressures of international fame, a devastating illness, and an unspeakable traumatic event, Aidan and Jenna's relationship and commitment to each other are tested in many unpredictable ways as they attempt to prevail over the seemingly insurmountable challenges that come with their own personal and intimate experience of stardom.

My thoughts: I have to admit, I'm not a fan of American Idol.  I think I might have seen a few episodes in the first season so I know the basic premise of the program.   I think that this book was written with the American Idol fan in mind so if you are a fan of romance novels and follow American Idol then this book is definitely something you should pick up. 




If you've been reading my reviews you know that I've only recently taken the plunge back into reading romance novels.  My first experience with one was not what I'd bargained for and didn't make it through.   A few of the others I've read have been very sweet romances that I was comfortable enough with to forward them to my grandmother.  This one fell sort of in the middle of the range.  It was certainly steamy with some fairly graphic portions, but nothing you wouldn't see in any movie in the theater today. 

The story moved pretty fast in places, so much that it was a little unbelievable at times.  I don't feel like this detracted from the story in any way.  When I Remember Love allows you to escape from the hum drum of every day life into the magical world of fame and fortune through the lives of characters that you can easily like. 


This is the first novel by Trish Silver.
