​What if your dreams were so close you could reach out and touch them?
How could anyone resist Michael Tennant, with his hypnotic blue eyes and voice like molten chocolate? Jessie Simmons certainly can’t. But Jessie’s a single mum who can’t sing to save her life – there’s no way she’ll ever cross paths with the star tenor.

At least that’s what she thinks until she’s unexpectedly invited to take part in a new reality TV show. The premise? Professional singers teach hopeless amateurs how to sing. The surprise? Jessie’s partner is none other than Michael Tennant!

As she becomes better acquainted with the man behind the voice, will Jessie find out the hard way that you should never meet your idols? Or will she get more than she bargained for?

How I absolutely loved Jessie and Michael's story. 

Jessie has always had a crush on Michael Tennant, but never dreamed in a million years that she may even meet him, let alone be partnered with him on a reality TV show.  Her sons has written in and she had been picked as a contestant, to improve her singing with Michael as her partner. 

For a superstar, Michael  is actually an introvert and seems to struggle with interacting with other people, so to say that Michael and Jessie got off to a slightly rocky start would be understatement. 

What did though soon become apparent was there was chemistry between them, although both tries to fight it. 

They are from worlds apart, as Jessie is a pharmacist, single mum with two pre-teen boys, whereas Michael is about to embark on an 8 month long world tour,  

The majority of the book is about just what on earth happens with them both once the tour starts, and whether you really should ever meet an idol, let alone fall for them, and whether opposites really do attract.  

I just love Kathryn Freeman's writing style, and completely believed the chemistry between our two leads. I think I feel for Michael a bit myself, and seeing him try to interact with Luke and Jack was really amusing.  Everything in the book felt so familiar, realistic and I just really enjoyed every moment. 

At times I really couldn't work out if we would get the ending I was hoping for, which is the sign of a good writer, that even though its a romance, and should have a HEA, I wasn't completely convinced there would be one! 

Kathryn Freeman at her best with a very enjoyable story. 

Thank you to Choc Lit for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
