Then she finds out not only Adam is the vocalist of a super famous rock band but that she had been unknowingly wearing a perfume equivalent of a love potion that night. After a third, the book revealed to be not a chick lit about a magical perfume but a romance with a rock star.Įden has met Adam, who is a musician and nothing about him fits her ideal-man description, except for how good he makes her feel.
