Missing From Me by Jayne Frost

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The following are my thoughts on Jayne Frost’s novel Missing from Me, the 3rd book in the sixth street band series. Any thoughts and opinions are solely my own.

I’ve said this before (many times) I am an extremely picky reader, if the first sentence doesn’t grab me right off I then give it the first page. If that fails I set that book aside to give it another go at a later date, if still not a go it gets the heave ho from my collection to someone else’s shelf. This book, like the other 2, is written pretty much in the 1st person POV of Sean. Anna has some chapters all her own in her POV but I feel like it is mostly Sean’s POV. It does get a little confusing if you aren’t used to reading stories told this way (I wasn’t) but it becomes a little easier to maneuver the more you read this style of writing. Usually you get a chapter or ½ chapter spoken from each lead to build the story, but this way has proven an interesting way to navigate.

The Male/Female lead characters in Missing from Me are Sean and Anna. Sean is the drummer in the band Caged (an up and coming rock band), Annabelle is his ex girlfriend (the one that got away) that comes back into his life. This book was described to me as more of a “darker” “grittier” version than the 1st two in series but I can say I didn’t get that too much (or maybe I am already too dark and cynical haha). As with Gone for You and Fall with Me this story didn’t disappoint with the build up, come together, conflict and resolutions that are pretty much the blueprint of romance novels. But it did leave me with questions (as the 1st two did also), which I hate to have when I finish. I hate giving away too much of the books for people that haven’t read it yet.

I would say if you enjoyed the first two in the series you will probably enjoy this one too. Sean was a little more "jerkish" than Cameron and Christian but I don’t think it surprised me. A lot of “stereotypical rock star behavior” but I would say it is a pretty well written book. I don’t know if I would go back and reread again and again but it made for an entertaining read. As I’ve said before, I don’t know if this series will end up as keepers on my bookshelf but I am giving them a good chance for a spot. I received a free advance copy of this book with no obligation to post a review.
