Once Upon His Star (Suburban Outcasts Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 356 ratings

HOLLY

The only thing I’ve wanted to do is be a Labor & Delivery nurse and I’ve made that happen. I have a job I love helping bring new life into the world, I have a supportive family, and music fills in the holes. Still, I know something’s missing—a place I truly belong.

I had no idea that I’d find a family when I walked into work. I had no idea I’d find more than that in the form of Cole Howard, sexy as sin lead singer of Suburban Outcasts. He looks at me and I feel seen and appreciated. He looks at me and I feel desire and want.

I had bad luck with a musician before. They’re all about the image and the celebrity, right? Cole seems different, but that doesn’t mean the fame machine won’t chew me up and spit me out.

So many people want a piece of Cole. Will I be enough for him? Will he have enough for me after he makes his dreams come true?

He’s a star and I’m just a girl with a wish.

COLE

I know we made the right decision to relocate to Denver and be closer to our family. I didn’t know how much that decision would change my life until I met the woman who is meant to be mine in a hospital hallway. I might have been there for the family, but I found my future that day.

Women who only cared about my money and fame have used me before. I can tell that Holly isn’t like that. The fame might be intimidating, but I just need her to give me a little trust and some time so I can show her how much she means to me. With everything I learn about her and with every moment I spend with her, it makes me more confident that she’s the only one for me.

I just hope the fame and the ugliness that comes along with it isn’t too much for her. I need her.

I’d give it all up for her. Without her, it means nothing.


**18+. If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. This story is safe, no cheating, guaranteed HEA. It is a standalone and the first in the Suburban Outcasts series, but it would be more enjoyable if you're all caught up with this Denver family. Warning: This story does contain casual cannabis use, but not to worry, they live in a legalized state and are responsible members of society.**

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ember Davis loves alpha heroes with a range of emotions, but a strong sense of how to take care of their women. She loves her heroines from all walks of life, just like her heroes, and she wants them to be real and relatable. Her heroines tend to be sassy, opinionated and smart.

Ember is a stay at home mom of two who recently refound her love of books and all things romance and is so glad that she did. She’s always been creative, but writing and creating stories that she would love to read satisfies the dreams she had as a little girl. She loves butterflies, the color purple and enjoying time with her family.

Pssst…it’s totally a pen name, but everything above is 100% true.

    I’m following the reading order suggested and not just reading by series and I love that! I LOVE this family. I love how quickly they become part of this family and how quickly they fall in love.

    Cole and Holly are just everything. Love at first sight. Full steam ahead. A rock star and a nurse. Anything can happen.

    The music references throughout this book that make up the soundtrack to it are amazing. It truly brings a whole other element to the story. And the unique pet names in each of the books in these series are so freaking sweet! I love them - so thoughtful and meaningful.

    I just can’t get enough of all these series that are so intermingled with this huge and beautiful and loving family! ❤️❤️❤️

    I’ve been wanting to read about Cole since getting a tease of his character in a new series and it was so worth the wait! Cole and his band was brought into the Bank Inc’s family and he has never been more grateful especially since he first laid eyes on Holly. Holly has insecurities about herself and it’s brought forward when she meets Cole. Will he be able to convince her that she is worth it and much more? I fell in love with these characters and their romance that blossom to a deserving HEA. An easy to read storyline with all the drama and heat level galore made this a must read. I can’t wait to discover more of this series!

    Love the way Cole meets Holly and their love story. I don’t want to give away anything so I will only say one part was too easy to figure out ahead of the story which is why I took away a star.

    Holly is a delivery nurse and Cole a rock star. And with that the ups and down of a relationship in the spotlight. Okay book and a good read with Ink books.

    I love the ebb and flow of the story line. Just when you think everything is cool with Cole and Holly, something else happens. The characters in the band, the tattoo shop and the security business have made a loving family together even though I could only see two blood relatives so far (brother and sister Walsh and Bailey). Goes to show it's not always blood that makes a family. Love makes the difference. Up next is Elliot in book 2. I can hardly wait!

    Cole never expects to find the love of his life when he goes to visit his friends and their new baby at the hospital but the moment he spots Holly he falls. Holly can't believe rock star Cole is interested in her and is waiting for the other shoe to drop. Cole will have to fight to get Holly to accept him and his lifestyle under a microscope.
