Adam Blue is a little rockstar in the progress, he has not still the fame of a rockstar but for sure he has all the attitude. And he is not even so young, 23 years old are almost too much to still play of being an adult, but well, Adam is so cute that you forgive him almost everything. One thing for sure, even if he is not yet famous, Adam is convinced that success is right there, around the corner, and that he will reach it sooner than later. It’s almost cute to read him, 23 years old still living at home, who steals petty money from his mother’s change jar, and yet he has an ego that is bigger than an house. It probably helps to his ego that Adam, even if he tries to conceal his cute look with a shaved head, it’s not quite able to hide it all. And another thing that goes with his ego is his self-consciousness: Adam is gay and if someone as something against it, well, it’s not his problem.
When Adam meets older Paol, the reader probably is expecting for Paol to be the leader in the relationship, he is older, successful, he is the one that probably will manage to rein Adam. But the reader has not taken in account that Paol is not a man driven by the need to be in command. You have already a prove knowing that Paol decided to sell half of his production company to Lewis, probably since, while he likes to find new talents, he has no probably the strength to lead a company all alone.
And so the first impression the reader has of Paol, a bit of a latin lover, maybe even a little bit of a teaser, it’s soon corrected: Paol is a real romantic, he still believes in true love, he is not at all a macho man, on the contrary, he is even a little scared when men are too pushing with him. In a way, Adam and Paol are perfect together, since Paol not being a prima donna allows Adam to be always in centre stage in the relationship, but being Paol also older, and with a bit more experience on his shoulder, he is a good balance for Adam and his rollercoast mood.
Rockstar is more sweet than expected; even the sex, that by the way happens later in the story than what I thought at first, is not so graphic or detailed. Adam and Paol are not so young, but all in all, when facing their love relationship, they seem younger, not quite “virgins” but almost. It’s like if they were newbie at love if not in life.

1) The Swimming Pool Library by Alan Hollinghurst. Many folks may be more familiar with Hollinghurst´s Man Booker Prizewinning The Line of Beauty, but I prefer this earlier novel. It explores many of the themes of the more famous book - 1980s London, the embattled British class system, cocaine, AIDS, race, and gay subculture - but with the freshness of the first look, the raw mad joy of discovery, and the recklessness of a supremely talented author establishing his voice. 
Bound With A Bow: Broad Horizons Book #2 by Beth Wylde, Lee Benoit, Mychael Black, Sascha Illyvich, and EM Lynley

It happens sometime that I like a book even if I “personally” don’t like the two main characters. It’s not a dislike due to how they are written, au contraire, I “dislike” them since the author gave them personality, and I don’t like their personality. Basically I think that Jin has the ability to get on nerves even of a saint, and Logan is an overgrown baby that has still a lot to learn.
