Definitely lives up to its title! Coming down from this one is not easy!

I can honestly say I have never read a story like The Comedown! A. Marie deserves a standing ovation for this one because it is so phenomenal! This is rockstar romance in its rawest form. "Julez" (Julian) is a cocky, bad boy rapper used to getting whatever he wants. He's never had to fully deal with his actions as his agent seems to take care of everything for him. Collette is a veteran popstar, jaded by her ex and the image-focused world they live in. She understands Julian lashing out means he's asking for help even if he doesn't realize he's asking.

This book has all the feels to it; the highs and lows; fandom/stardom, being surrounded by thousands of people but feeling lonely. It deals with struggles and one's demons even when the outside world perceives you to be on top of the world, A. Marie has a way of capturing these emotions so perfectly!

There's angst throughout along with the push and pull between these two and the power moves - giving it, getting it. I am truly at a loss for words with this one! It's definitely going to stay with me for a while!

Another raw and real story!

Another angsty, emotional story about a upcoming rockstar and a popstar who used to be relevant and trying to stay on top. A.Marie is my QUEEN of Slow burn emotional reads, definitely another raw read written on paper.

She was independent and a mama who has a contract with Julian and his people and while Julian was head over heels with her from the beginning she was very closed off throughout it all and for good reason. They both overcome there trauma, and development throughout there story. Perfectly paced and absolutely addictive

A captivating, passionate story!

I've sat on writing this review for a few days and I give up. I'm still in my feelings and I know I'll ramble but here we go anyway...

Julian as the talented and cocky rising rap/rock star, and Collette as the strong industry veteran determined to stay relevant in an often superficial and sexist field, have incredible tension AND chemistry. Julian is fighting to dull the pain of his past and Collette is fighting for a secure and independent life for herself and her son. Though their outlets are completely different, Julian and Collette both have vices that prevent them from obtaining that fulfilled life.

I love how Julian has always had a thing for Collette, and near immediately he becomes extremely protective of her. I love how Collette doesn't take his crap and the mama bear in her decides to save Julian from himself. Both of their inner demons and insecurities make it a sometimes devastating uphill fight though!

The Comedown by A. Marie is an emotionally charged, passionate, artistic, and painful love story. The narrative arc centers around personal growth and ultimately self love. The storytelling is engaging and beautifully done. The characters are unique and you just HAVE to cheer them on! Another can’t-miss book by this author, The Comedown is a shining star.
