Backlist Review: Starting From Zero by Lane Hayes

 
Review:

I’ve read part of this series, ‘Starting from’, already, admittedly out of order, which I don’t normally do. Not sure how that happened. However, this means I’ve seen this couple in other books and had seen their relationship progress along the way. Sometimes that would make you not overly eager to actually read their story, but I love Lane Hayes’ writing, and the characters of this world, so it really just made me excited to see how it actually all came to be.

I wasn’t disappointed. I loved the chaotic nature of the story, in part driven by Justin’s ADHD and his attempts to make it in the music business, and the overly dramatic chosen family of Gray. That anyone can make a relationship work given all that, it must be love.

I love an age gap, I also love the opposite natures. Gray is calm, laid back and a homebody. Justin is scattered and full of energy. But together, they are perfect and they become a calm amongst the storm. Sure you’ll want to yell at them to communicate, not keep things hidden, but they get there, they figure it out.

And even if you know how it ends…you need the story of how they got there.

Stars: 4

Synopsis:

Justin Cuevas is going through a rough patch. A broken relationship, a scandal, and the demise of his band have shaken the aspiring rock star’s confidence. Working two jobs and sleeping on his friend’s sofa isn’t ideal, but Justin isn’t ready to give up yet. With a little luck, he’s hoping to re-launch his music career in LA with his new band, Zero. The key is to stay focused, and not get distracted by his past...or the sexy songwriter he can’t get out of his head.

Gray Robertson has written dozens of hits and worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. But he’s never met anyone like Justin. The younger man is fiery, passionate, and smart. A powerful voice for a new generation. Other than an unforgettable one-night stand and a passion for music, the two men have nothing in common. Or do they? Justin knows the out-of-the-blue challenge to write a quintessential love song is a huge opportunity. And it’s the ultimate test for someone who doesn’t believe in happily ever after. When sparks fly, Justin and Gray realize they have a shot something special if they start from zero together. Maybe even love.
