SUMMARY:

She knew popstars. She wasn't read for idols.

When a young Canadian pop star is invited as a special guest to an awards show in Seoul, South Korea, hit songwriter Dulcie Carmichael is persuaded to go along with him. Dulcie knows nothing about K-pop, and nothing about idols, but when she meets and befriends Don Youngwon, main vocalist for worldwide sensation TiME, she is immediately drawn into his world, into his life, and soon becomes close to the other members of his popular group.

Well, close to all of them except Kyo Daesuk, their leader and visual, who does not seem to care for her at all.

But TiME's upcoming visit to LA might just change all of that...



 An amazing, heart stopping story told in multi perspective!

Dulcie had the American dream — she is a number one hit selling songwriter with all fame and fortune,but while her name is famous she has the luxury of her face not being. Dulcie is a very humble girl and she doesn’t particularly enjoy the spotlight. With only one song left in her contract for the brat,she sees her golden ticket to wrap things up and finally be free of Bryson. There is just one catch,she has to attend an award show in South Korea with him. However, good things come out of bad. When Dulcie feels overwhelmed she heads backstage to get away from everything and this is when she suddenly meets won from the famous Koop boy band time. While dulcie has been a hit song writer she knows nothing about the Koop universe. When she meets won she has no idea he’s part of such a famous group. Instantly they connect and he invites her back for drinks with the band.


This book was an absolutely heart stopper. As far as meet cutes go, this one takes the cake! At first there is an immediate connection between Won and Dulcie. They just click, but they click in the way of friends. Dulcie and Dae,however, click romantically. Immediately you feel the tension between Dae and Won over Dulcie, but it was a good suspenseful type of tension. If you a fan of kpop like I am, this will be a very enjoyable read for you. While I was reading I almost felt like BTS was definitely the inspiration from some of these characters. Dae reminded me a lot of Jin. He was the oldest, the black hair, visual of the group. Though where as Jin is sometimes more youthful in manner, Dae was a lot more serious. Seeing as the author is a member of ARMY herself I can definitely see this being true!

Overall, this was s super sweet fun read. It had me glued to every page. I read this in less than 24hours and even read the little 50 page novella that followed after this book. Both are free on kindle unlimited so if you love kpop as much as I do, go check this one out and tell me if you who you think these characters are inspired by!!
